   Another Oscar Injustice
I just got back from the movies. I expect the movie I saw (since nobody I know has even heard of it) will get passed by for movies that got more hype.

The movie is great for people who enjoy 1960's and 70's sci-fi movies like Silent Running, Logan's Run, etc. Sam Rockwell plays the lead & basically has to carry the acting load by himself. Kevin Spacey has voiceover work as a computer. Beyond those two, I think there is less than 5 minutes of dialogue by other people. I hope Sam is recognized for his acting come Oscar time, but since the movie opened in June & topped out at about 250 theaters & had no advertising that I saw, I expect it will not be a big contender.

Oh well. Today was the first day of my mini-vacation. Woohoo! ok - Mini-vacation = 2 days off work & I still logged in a couple of times today to help the newly trained support people. The big vacation activity today was giving a plumber lots of money & then going to the movies. Later this weekend - painting the master bedroom - I hope. I bought the supplies 4th of July weekend. It would be nice if I could complete the project in under a month. Tick tock tick tock... only a couple of days left for that self-imposed timeline.

Take care - I hope everyone is doing well.

btw - the name of the movie is "Moon"
