Argh! So I'm looking at the movies coming out here in NYC this weekend and I'll be goddamned if suddenly outta nowhere there's not way too much for me to see.
I knew I should've just gone to see The Ten without the boyfriend this past weekend; now I'm afraid it'll vanish soon if I don't catch it.
As I was walking to work this morning I stomped on a discarded placard for Ils (Them), just laying there sullenly on the sidewalk; it took me a few steps past to realize what I'd just stepped on and amongst the throng of morning pedestrians I totally doubled back and picked it off the pavement. Yes, garbage picker. Anyway, I could barely repress a squeal to see it will really open this weekend, I've been wanting to see it for months now and had convinced myself I'd have to get an import DVD in order to do so. This is my must-see.
And when I was walking down the street over the weekend (it's New York, I am constantly walking on the street) the phrase "It's like a sexy hamburger" from the trailer for Superbad popped into my head and I couldn't stop giggling, so this one's a must-see as well.
And... The Invasion. I'm such a nerd for all the variations on Invasion of the Body Snatchers that've come before I really do feel obliged to see this one. The trailers have gotten progressively better, I've felt. And I'm a big fan of director Oliver Hirschbiegel's Das Experiment (haven't seen Downfall yet).
So much to see! It never ends. I swear I'm going to have to turn into one of those people from Cinemania.

I'm curious to hear your thoughts on Them once you've seen it. I caught a press screening last week, and I've been keeping mum.
Mum??? Argh! You and your press screenings and your talking to Adrienne Barbeau. Da noive!
The boyfriend has invited people to stay with us this weekend and I have to find a way to thwart their presence and get to the theater now. I might set up a straw dummy of myself in the living-room. They'll never know the difference! I'm an evil genius!
I think I've lost my mind this afternoon, pay me no mind.
The straw dummy idea is perfect. I was going to suggest painting fake eyeballs on a pair of glasses, but then I remembered that you want to not be there, not be there but sleep, and therefore my glasses scheme makes no sense.
