Movie Meme

I'm not a huge movie watcher but I saw this meme over at R.E.S.E.A.R.C.H.E.R.S from Dr. J and had to try it.

Rules are simple: Xs next to movies you've seen, and if you've seen more than 85, you apparently have no life.

Well, you did a lot better than me but still fell safely within the 'got a life' boundary, a good place to be!?

I'm guessing you weren't a big fan of Silence of the Lambs, having not seen the others. If you did like that the others are not bad, although the ending in Hannibal is a bit OTT.

dammmn.... i just counted up what i saw and I had 79.... ugh and I thought I didn't watch a lot of movies!

P.S. Calendar girls is hilarious

P.P.S. I saw the Curious Case of Benjamin Button and it was EXCELLENT. (I thought brad pitt would suck but he didn't.!)

Dr. J - I did like Silence of the Lambs but I really don't like scary movies in general - particularly psychological thrillers like that one. I don't derive much enjoying from being scared as shit, so I generally totally eschew anything that is remotely "scary." I only watched that because I was assured it wasn't scary and that I was being ridiculous....and I admit it was extremely well done but I have no desire to be psyche-wrenched again :).

Eugenie - I also thought I would not have a high number but I guess I watch enough. I remember wanting to see Calendar Girls but never did. I don't watch probably 85% of the movies I'm interested in. Last night I watched Baby Mama and it was also surprisingly bearable. I thought it would be lots of potty humor but it was reasonably subtle and good.

Harry and Kumar fuckin rock! I love that movie! I wasn't too fond of the notebook either. It was OK, nothing to cry at.

Nicky said...

Um, 82. Yikes. You say the no-life line is 85? Phew!

By the way -- Waiting for Guffman is totally worth it.
