Half Nelson, fully sold out

I'd decided a long time ago that Half Nelson would be a movie I'd purchase even without viewing first. I figure it's the type of movie that not only will I love and want to watch more than once, but it's also possible I could use it as an after-school extra credit film, if I ever decide to run that program again (like, maybe next year they can not give me two new preps...).

I went to Target today, figuring that the movie that grossed $2.7 million domestically would be tucked away on their indie shelves. Nope. Its bin was first in the New Releases, and all three racks were sold out. Good for the film, but bad for me.

My current idea for my Oscars Night Party costume is to be Ryan Gosling. He is, after all, a teacher who happens to be a crack addict. Therefore, I could probably just come as myself with a crack pipe and be done with it. Now, it's just the matter of me finding a crack pipe...

I can probably come up with something better, though. Maybe I can come with a bullet wound to my forehead or something, in honor of The Departed... Well, I have one week to decide.
