Not paying attention to commercial media means I don't get inundated with all the things I could be spending my money on that I don't actually want.

But ocassionally there are notices that I totally miss and everyone else understands. Like commercials with a funny line that everyone but me gets....

And I miss things like movie ads for movies I actually want to make sure to catch. I managed to forget thatCharlie and Chocolate FActory was due to come out any time now. I still haven't seen Mr & Mrs Smith which I want to catch on the big screen for the sole reason that things get blow'd up in it. Need to get with the Ice Cream Assassin and various other folks to figure out when to head to March of the Penguins (if said folks catch it without me I'll be most put out). I want to see Happy Endings eventhough might not be as much fun as the titles makes it sound. C'mon, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Laura Dern, Lisa Kudrow = awkward, heady talent. (I admit, I can wait for the DVD but i do want to see it.) I still want to see MAd Hot Ballroom, preferrably on the big screen. Naturally, I want to catch Crónicas with my boys John Leguizamo and Alfred Molina. Likely to be unsettling but did I mention it's produced by Alfonso Cuarón?

Likewise looking forward to Mirrormask and Corpse Bride.
