Chinese food takes away my stress

Where I saw the last 10 Academy Award winners for Best Picture:

Argo
At the AMC Star Fairlane 21 in Dearborn, MI with Mike. I remember being flustered when Mike sat down one seat away from me – first and only time I've been buffer-zoned.

The Artist
At the Embarcadero Centre Cinema in San Francisco, CA.

The King's Speech
At CinéArts in Palo Alto, CA on Thanksgiving Eve, after half-day at a temp job selling gift cards for Black Angus Steakhouse. I ate lunch at Chipotle beforehand.

The Hurt Locker
At the 2008 Toronto International Film Festival. Ryerson Theatre.

Slumdog Millionaire
Also at the 2008 Toronto International Film Festival, and also at Ryerson. In fact, I saw The Hurt Locker and Slumdog Millionaire on the same day, back to back.

No Country for Old Men
At the 2007 Toronto International Film Festival with Tushar, at, heh, Ryerson on a Monday morning at 9:00 a.m. Woke up at like 6:00 a.m. to drive in from Waterloo during rush hour.

The Departed
On my 24th birthday at the Goodrich Quality 16 in Ann Arbor, MI with Tony Fader and Jon Wilcox.

Crash
In Los Angeles, CA with Elizabeth. I can't remember which theatre. I want to say the Regent in Westwood, because I remember being amused to see the Regent and Westwood in Crash.

Million Dollar Baby
Never seen it.

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
Hmm…

[consults December 2003 in Adam Riff™'s archive]

Okay, I was in Los Angeles, so it was either at the Village, the Chinese, or the Cinerama Dome.

[consults Google]

Okay, it was the Cinerama Dome.

I don't remember seeing The Return of the King at all, and according to myself, I saw it twice.

Don't do drugs, kids.
