Top 100
Top 100
As I fight desperately against sleep this morning, I answer my e-mail to find a meme I'd done a while back. I was going to delete, and then I thought that the Top 100 movies on the Internet Movie Database changes on a weekly basis, and has probably changed somewhat in the four or five years since I last posted it (Holy Christ....I've been doing this blog for 6 and a half years, nearly....)

A couple of words...Gran Torino, Slumdog Millionaire and The Wrestler are still in theaters...I haven't had and overwhelming desire to see Gran Torino or Slumdog Millionaire, but I figure I'll eventually see them both. However, when The Wrestler finally filters down to my neck of the woods, I figure in late 2011, I'm there with bells on.
Pray I don't get kicked out of the theater....
