Throwing in the towel
Well, I won’t delete this in case something drastic changes (and because the most looked up thing on this blog is probably my essay on the 10 Commandments likely being plagiarized in papers everywhere) but I’m done updating it. This never quite materialized into the site I wanted it to be, and I’ve accepted the fact that it never will. So, time to bow out.
If you want to discuss Casablanca, or Triangle, or Dinner Rush, or The Kids are All Right, or any movie…. or if you want to talk about how perfectly that one episode of Futurama parodies 2001…all that kinda stuff…most of you all know where to find me. And if not, just leave a note at the bottom of this page and I’ll still get an email about it.

A few links
For starters, what I think is a fairly accurate summary of the year 2010 in movies thus far. In short, it has been crap. It has been so depressing. I grant you that the end of the year is always the juicy bit anyway, but this has been a whole new level junk. Toy Story 3 has really been the only solid offer thus far. Inception might save us from a totally bland summer, but I don’t have my hopes too high. It makes me so angry I could just yell horribly obscene things. How convenient that…
Top 100 movie/TV insults of all time. I tend to hate these things. It’s usually very biased to whoever compiled it…and I’m sure if I looked at it more carefully, I could learn to hate this one too. But realistically, I thought of about a dozen very eccentric insults, and literally only one wasn’t covered. Though it was kind of a big omission. I mean seriously, Peter Pan busting out his best at the dinner table in Hook should have been in here. But from In the Loop, to Sandlot, to Casino…it is pretty well covered.
Woody Allen reflects on what he considers his best. While Woody Allen always keeps me intrigued, I wouldn’t have guessed half of his list as what he considers his best.
This one really got me thinking…anything you would have added to the list?
