Have a great weekend! We’re heading west this for a late Christmas-family-holiday. I doubt there’s wifi on the gondola but I’ll be on Instagram. Later.

Have a great weekend! Mike and I are teaming up to attack the Wentworth Mountains in the annual Storm The Mountain Winter Adventure Challenge – it will likely be cold, we will likely disagree, we will likely get lost but, we will certainly have fun. Especially when we destroy Jill and Alex. posterbsm

Have a great weekend! No skiing for me – lots to do, people to see, exciting work projects, fun to have, trails to runs.

Welcome to my annual pre-show recap PLUS a printable lists to help make your movie watching experience more enjoyable.

There 32 days until the Academy Awards on February 26 and there are 62 nominated movies so you can easily see all of them if you aim for two a day. Let’s go!

Here’s where I am at… it’s not great.

  • The good news is I saw and LOVED La La Land. It’s up for 14 nominations.
  • The bad news is that I am waaaayyyy behind on movie watching this year. I’ve seen 4 out of 62! (La La Land, Manchester by the Sea, 13th and Moana)
  • The good news is I am really excited to see all of the Best Picture noms – Especially Moonlight and Hidden Figures.
  • The bad news is I am surprised to see Mel Gibson is back on top … but I like Andrew Garfield.
  • The good news is Emma and Ryan, my favourite on-screen couple, are both nominated!
  • The bad news is I have only seen 2 out of the 9 Best Pictures. Manchester by the Sea was wonderful and I love Michelle Williams but I can not support Casey Affleck.

My goal is to see as many of the Best Picture + Best Actor /Actress + Supporting Roles as possible. That’s 15 movies. Again, I’ve see 2.

I did a quick Netflix and iTunes search and here’s what I found so far – I haven’t search all of the movies.

  • 13th, Zootopia and The Jungle Book are all on Netflix (Canada) – I watch the documentary 13th yesterday and it was excellent.
  • Captain Fantastic, Hell or High Water, Deepwater Horizon, Sully, Suicide Squad, Star Trek Beyond, Kubu, Life Animated, The Lobster, Jim The James Foley Story and Florence Foster Jenkins are NOW available to rent on iTunes.
  • You can purchase Piper and La Femme et le TVG on iTunes for $2.99.
  • Arrival and Moonlight are available on iTunes January 31.
  • Hacksaw Ridge, Trolls, Nocturnal Animals, I Am Not Your Negro and Loving are available on iTunes February 7.
  • Doctor Strange and Allied are available on iTunes February 14.
  • Fire at Sea is available on iTunes February 14.
  • Jackie and Moana are available on iTunes February 21.

Here we go! Game on.

Let me know what movies you’ve seen and want to see.

Let me know your predictions.

  • Naturally dyed, oh my!
  • Shopping for a medium white tee?
  • Miniature calendar. I dare you to look at just one.
  • I carried David on the right… I assumed it was because I was left-handed but now I am seeing it’s one more item on the fail list.
  • And then a friend linked to this and it brought up so many emotions… oh, and this! I laugh about it now but it almost destroyed me (and David).
  • True story, I almost had a career in marmalade. I was going to call the business Miss Meghan’s Marmalade *a suggestion from a former boss of mine*. The idea is not dead, just on hold.
  • Those trays.
  • Born to Run (cont.)

There is sooooo much good stuff celebrating women this week and it’s hard to edit it all down but here are some good ones to check out:

Okay ladies now let’s get in formation! Have a great weekend! We are likely skiing and I just realized E.T. and Harry and the Hendersons are on Netflix. This changes everything.tumblr_ojueytyvcz1vmr546o1_1280
