I still haven’t the slightest clue as to when I’ll be able to see “Somewhere” as no date has been announced for its Houston release. But I’m not in any rush to see it as it is a Sofia Coppola movie (and I wasn’t exactly fond of her Academy Award-winning “Lost in Translation“) and it appears to have fizzled on the awards scene. Heck, it didn’t even make Quentin Tarantino’s top 20 – and he voted it the best film at the Venice Film Festival.
I was skeptical from the beginning as I stated in my Oscar Moment way back in September (when “Never Let Me Go” still looked like a contender and critics were two months away from seeing “True Grit“). And now it appears that the one person who voted this wouldn’t have a shot at Best Picture is going to be right.
As if you need someone to tell you that.
I feel bad for Coppola, apparently being wealthy is really boring. Try telling that to the millions of people without jobs.
If this blog were Facebook, I would like that comment.
