That 70's List

I've been remiss in not thanking all of you for helping out with my New Year's Eve 70's throwback playlist! For those who are interested:
( here is the entire list )

It was a huge hit! Thank you all!

The Beauty of the Damned

When I saw this article, I experienced two conflicting impulses which were so strong that I was quite literally frozen in place by opposing forces. One was to fall out of my chair laughing, and the other was to punch my fist through my computer screen.

"On the eve of President Bush's inauguration, a poll shows the nation is split over whether he has united or divided the nation."

There is no witty comment, extant or yet to be imagined, which could make this funnier; there is no sober observation which could make this sadder. It's an implied tautology masquerading as a poll. It quite simply kills me.

Movies!

I see that melina123 has posted the answers and reasons to her movie quotes meme, which has inspired me to post mine (since I'm playing Happy Avoidance Day anyway). I chose these twelve movies for a variety of reasons; not all of these films are great films or even very good films, but they all represent moments, turning points, realizations for me, either in my life or my history with experiencing film. ( Only two went unguessed - and I was only surprised about that for one of them )
