For those who use netflix, but only have a limited number of rentals out at one time, you can't get everything this way, but the "Watch Instantly" capability can be quite helpful. I currently have Julia, Il Divo and Paris 36 on my instant queue list, so if you haven't seen those, you can now.

I forced myself to see it, Damien.
If I could do it, you could do it too!
But then again, I love goddamn cartoons so maybe you shouldn't be listening to me.

It's going to be one of my bad years, esp. compared to last, where multiply-nominated films and DVD releases made it easy to catch the stragglers. This year there are too many widows and orphans, and late releases.
Haven't seen Avatar yet, but that's just a scheduling thing. It'll happen in the next two weeks.
Have Il Divo at the top of the Netflix queue.
Can still catch The Lovely Bones, The White Ribbon, The Last Station and The Young Victoria without undue effort. The last might actually be one I go out of my way for, to get a better angle on the costume race (plus it checks off two other nominations).
I thought A Single Man would be easy, but it never played within two miles of me (in a city where we walk/subway everywhere), and now I fear its poor showing will lead to a quick departure.
No chance at all, till DVD release, of Dr. Parnassus or The Messenger (already departed my neighborhood), or The Princess and the Frog, Coco Before Chanel, Secret of the Kells. Is Paris 36 on DVD? Needless to say I wouldn't subject myself to Transformers 2.
Foreigns, docs and shorts are always a strain, though I do hope to get to White Ribbon, maybe even tomorrow.
