"Fog of War" wins best documentary Oscar. Have seen it yet? Why not?
"The Fog of War" won the Academy Award as best documentary, and rightly so. If ever there were a film all DUers should see, it's this wonderful, engrossing documentary about Robert McNamara looking back on his life, and especially Vietnam. It is enthralling; the music is great, you will not be bored (I promise!). It is so important, please go see it - and post your reactions here.

1. One and only answer: distribution
Ask this again when the movie's out on home video.

2. exactly. If i want to see this movie I think I have to travel
to Cambridge Ma from southeastern CT like I had to when I wanted to see Monster. It could be playing at one of the arthouses somewhat near me in Hartford or possibly a theater in New Haven but I know Monster sure as hell wasnt playing at any of these.

6. Yeah, it was the right one to get the Oscar, but dagnabbit! My
friend's movie 'Rolling' didn't even get a nomination. And it deserved at least that much, by golly!

On the plus side, a movie my sister worked on (second unit 1st AD), Master & Commander, did pretty well.
