9 Weeks Late, but trying
Forever ago, Marco and then Amanda both made lists (here and here respectively) of movies they haven't seen and probably should have, and ones they have they probably shouldn't. I thought it was interesting, and as per my usual sluggishness have just now gotten around to it.
Haven't seen:
1. Deliverance
2. The Wall
3.Wayne's World/ Bill & Ted
4. Jaws
5. The exorcist
6. Grease/ West Side Story
7. Tootsie
8. Full Metal Jacket / Platoon
9. Rambo, any
10. An Inconvenient Truth
11. Special mentions, movies I've seen part of, but never finished for various reasons
a. Dr. Strangelove (I feel like I might have, but I don't remember a thing about it)
b. Brazil (started several times, never made it to the end)
c. Farenheit 9/11
d. The Crying Game
e. Mary Poppins
Not having seen these, I have no idea whether or not it's a cultural travesty to go on day to day without these stories bundled up in the Experience that is my life. If you're in some way appalled, nag me and I will add it to The Queue.
10ish Movies I have, perhaps shamefully, seen:
1. The Fast and the Furious / XXX
2. Gothic
3. Alvin and the Chipmunks / 3 Ninjas
4. Dracula 2000
5. Dumb and Dumber
6. Mean Girls
7. Rollerball & Youngblood
8. Armageddon / Pearl Harbor
9. Snakes on a Plane (opening weekend, no less)
10. Striptease (Burt Reynolds in nothing but boxers, cowboy hat, cowboy boots full of vaseline. dear god, make it stop).
I have nothing to say in defense, really, except sometimes you just don't want to think anymore, you know?
I know I haven't blogged in forever. I did one post recently, but I tacked it to The Midpoint while Marco was away inventing drinks in the surf. Another list I'd love to see you guys do-- I think it's very telling.
Anyway. Real post coming soon.
