I just feel it can be worse waiting to see something again because you're in the full-blown obsessive phase rather than the anticipatory phase - and I'm definitely obsessing over Black Swan! I'm in the UK so it's the rare occasion that I don't have to wait months to see a film that is being raved about online - I apologise if that came off as "smug" - I'm just an average punter who got lucky with her London Film Festival tickets.7Bisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-87422607089445418172010-11-22T12:03:44.294-05:002010-11-22T12:03:44.294-05:00Yes, whine about the privilege you have to see som...Yes, whine about the privilege you have to see something new TWICE weeks before the majority of the lowly viewing audience get the chance to see something once.

Good on the publicity/marketing team to push this film hard, early, and often to overcome the Academy horror bias. <i>Animal Kingdom</i> should be doing the same, even if it's just shooting out postcards with critic pulls and FYCs.<br /><br />Hold strong and don't watch that DVD unless you are truly compelled to rewatch it before voting for whatever awards body you can this year.OtherRoberthttp://writingsketch@gmail.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-8778535057663763632010-11-20T10:18:54.220-05:002010-11-20T10:18:54.220-05:00Wait!
