Hello blog, I apologize for the self importance of this post, but
I made a list of what I've injested today, in roughly chronological order; though I'll admit, everything between cheese and tortilla was kind of jumbled.
These are in no particular order:
1. Shawshank redemption
2. Super Bad
3. V for Vendetta
4. Star Trek: First Contact
5. Mean Girls
6. Never Been Kissed
7. Bridget Jone's Diary
8. The X-Men movies
9. 300
10. 10 Things I Hate About You
(with your TV, DVD player, and solar powered generator)
1. 20 centímetros
This movie is about the most fun you can have. It's a musical about a transwoman sex worker in Madrid. Don't believe the transphobia (or other offensive things) on IMDB.
So, I like these movies:
1. Waking Life
2. I <3 Huckabees
3. Memento
4. Brazil
5. The Brave Little Toaster
6. Soccer Dog
7. Science of Sleep
8. Taxi Driver

2. Almost Famous
3. Once
4. Little Miss Sunshine
5. The Royal Tenenbaums
