@edgeworth Just checked & #Hamnet is the only one of the remaining Best Picture #Oscar nominees that I have to watch in a theater.

All of the others are available on an #AltStreaming channel where I can watch them for free in the comfort of my own home w/o distraction. 😊

Going to try to watch Hamnet at the Cinemark in Walnut Creek tomorrow.

That's good. I just looked at the list. I just hope that #MartySupreme or #OneBattleAfterAnotger don't beat it out for Best Picture.

I make it a practice to try to watch every film nominated for best picture:

So far, I've only seen:

#Sinners (#AMC)
Marty Supreme (AMC)
One Battle After Another (#AltStreaming)
#Frankenstein (Local Theater)
#FI (AMC)

I already own copies of Sinners & F1 on DVD & I always try to buy a copy of the Best Picture winner each year too but that's sometimes been difficult, like for #Coma which is an #Apple movie.

At any rate, I currently have DVD copies of all of the Best Picture #Oscar winners going back to 1927/28 when #Wings won it.

So, back to the 2026 nominee list, I still need to see:

#Bugonia
#Hamnet
#SecretAgent
#SentimentalValue
#TrainDreams

Hament is still showing at local theaters. Not sure about the others but I'll try to find them either on screen or on an Alt Streaming channel.

I found #WinWin on an #AltStreaming channel.

Just watched the start to get a feel for it. It looks promising & I plan to finish watching it.

But haven't been able to find #CanneryRow offered for free viewing anywhere yet but, based on the #Wiki summary of it, I don't think I'll like it, even though I am a fan #Steinbeck's writing & own copies of most of his books.

@Starcade Everything #Netflix acquires will probably go behind their paywall. ☹️

Fortunately, there are #AltStreaming sites where I can see pretty much whatever I like w/o being forced to subscribe to any of the media giants who would be happy to have a monopoly on all of their content.

I just need to learn how to download & burn #DVDs from these sites.

The software is out there but I'm just too lazy to do it yet but will when there is no other way to add the films that I want to my collection.

@nedraggett I didn't go to see it at my local #AMC & I'm not going to subscribe to pay to see it on #Disney either.

I'll watching for FREE on any #AltStreaming channel that has it BUT I am going to buy the #DVD if/when one is released because I want to have all 3 of the #Tron movies to make a set.

@Starcade

Never heard of the movie "Eden" before. Just read about it on #Wiki. It's a perverse but reportedly true story. Probably won't like it but it's an oddity for a Ron Howard movie which makes me curious enough to want to take a look at it on an #AltStreaming channel.
