Take the subject of that photo. Add it to the fact that I’m off work today. Top it off with some unseasonably warm weather here in the city, and what you get is one happy Hatter.

Before I get to this week’s link, I feel like telling y’all something for the sake of posterity. Tomorrow I’ll be going to a theatre to see an old movie that I have long resisted watching. Why am I finally seeing it now? Because I’m told “It’s awesome” and that I’ll love it. I am going into this with an open mind and hoping to be entertained.

Just felt like jotting that down. Just in case.

But enough of that noise, a long weekend awaits!!

For your listening and reading enjoyment, I give you…

With the Oscars just over a week away, Simon & Jo waste no time in covering three Oscar nominated films on their latest show. Give a listen to their discussion about ANIMAL KINGDOM, INSIDE JOB, and TRUE GRIT.

Rachel isn’t satisfied and wants to do it again (You’re welcome).

Came across a new blog this week. Take a gander at The Smoking Pen who celebrated Valentines Day by rhyming off some of the most badass couples in movie history.

The Kid in the Front Row might have just created the most eloquent blog post I’ve ever read.

Marya the Awards Fanatic has been keeping herself busy looking at the Oscar track record of film noir.

Looks like Nick’s 60/60 series gave him a new dose of awesome. Check out his thoughts on ANNIE HALL.

Enjoy!
