When it comes to movies, we’re serious men and women. When you walk into a theater, we don’t want you to be blindsided or suffer a locker full of hurt. Yes, some of these films can leave you feeling up, but others can sequester you in a district of misery. So we serve as your avatars in the theater—your inglourious bastions of integrity, making sure that, when it comes to entertainment, you’re never left up in the air. We want, in short, to give you an education and provide you with the precious tools you’ll need to navigate this fascinating, sometimes frightening world of media in which we live.
You’d think, then, that since we take movies so seriously for 364 days a year, we would earn the right to take a night off, plop down on the couch, open a bag of Doritos and just watch the Academy Awards, without telling everybody what we think of them?
Fat chance.
This Sunday, Plugged In’s editor Steven Isaac and I will blog live during the Oscarcast.
Oh, sure, we’ll still be eating Doritos: I made Steve promise to bring some. But instead of wiping our cheesy hands on our jeans like everybody else, we’ll be wiping them on our computer keyboards as we chat about everything from Quentin Tarantino’s cultural impact to Helen Mirren’s hair. We’ll be online and accessible once the awards start flying, and we’ll stay ’til the bitter end, approximately 27 hours later. So drop by and read what you want to. Better yet, join our conversation by posting your comments, too.
And you can start right now by helping Steve decide whether to bring the Cool Ranch or Nacho Cheese-flavored Doritos. Then, on Sunday, find us by visiting pluggedin.com and clicking on “blog” in the navigation bar. Or just click here.
