A Double Dose of Frustration!

"You're tearin' me apart!!!" First, comes the news the Warners' has delayed Ron Howard's sea epic In the Heart of the Sea from March, where it was less than two months from opening, to December, now squeezed right up against Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Maybe it's a vote of Oscar confidence, but I was really looking forward to that one.

Then after that comes the teeth-grindingly annoying news that the amazing IMAX Game of Thrones event is completely bypassing the state that I live in!!! That's Portland, Oregon, in case you're curious - a town that's positively overflowing with with enthusiastic, fantasy and sci-fi, movie-loving, beer-drinking nerd faithful. We would have blown the doors off that box office. Now we're chopped liver!

Oh, well - tomorrow is another day. In fact, the Oscar nominations will be announced at O-Dark-Thirty AM (5:30 Pacific) tomorrow morning, so let's meet back here after that to kvetch and discuss.
