How I did it: We arrived at the theater at 10am without any real plan in mind. We settled on watching The Adventures of Tintin, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, and Hugo 3D, then decided on the order based on the length of the movies and the showtimes. I got too worn out by the two 3D movies (TinTin and Hugo) and decided to leave after watching those three movies, but some of my friends stayed to see The Darkest Hour. Read how I did it…
I was rooting for Hugo, since, other than HP Deathly Hallows 2, it was the only movie out of all the nominated movies that I saw. Though it didn’t win Best Picture (which was a kind of impossible hope, I have to admit), it did win Cinematography, Art Direction, Visual Effects, Sound Editing, and Sound Mixing. I was pretty bummed that Martin Scorsese didn’t win Directing, though, because his love for film shown in Hugo is so clear and touching that I really hoped the Academy would give the award to him.
Another one I was rooting for, La Luna, didn’t win Best Animated Short. What a robbery, even if the real winner is a good contender. I feel like it was snubbed just because it was Pixar-produced, and any other studio’s animation that nears Pixar’s quality automatically gets sympathy and therefore wins over Pixar regardless of actual comparison.
Rango is apparently a fantastic animated feature, even if my computer didn’t make it seem that way when it played it for me at 0.25 fps. Literally smooth audio with a gallery of still pictures. I need to watch it on a better machine sometime.
I dunno why, but I’ve always wanted to know the feeling of being so involved in an activity that I stay long after school lets out for it. The problem was that up until recently, I never got into anything that required me to dedicate my after-school hours to it.On February 18th, the beginning of a week-long break, I finally found the time to concentrate on Robotics, and stayed for six hours until 10:30pm (even though it was technically not after-school hours since there was no school that day).
