I'm quite fond of North by Northwest and Vertigo.

Well, those are his best films. I'd also put The Man Who Knew Too Much in there too.

Three items from my shelf:

Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers by Mary Roach
- Ever wondered what happens when you donate your body to science or medicine? Read this book and discover some of the gruesome yet fascinating things that can happen, including having your severed head used for practice facelifts by plastic surgery students. Fun and informative!

The Hunter by Richard Stark
- A ruthless professional criminal is betrayed on the job by his wife and partner and left for dead. He isn't, and goes on a rip-roarin' rampage of revenge, intent on evening the score and getting his cut of the loot. Followed by many excellent sequels.

My Boring-Ass Life: The Uncomfortably Candid Diary of Kevin Smith
- Like a twitter feed on paper basically. Much of the book is along the lines of "Woke up, took a shit, jerked off, went back to bed," but there is a poignant section about Jay Mewes's heroin addiction that is rather touching.

It is a classic that I am proud to own in Beta format.


I need to read The Hunger Games... My sister keeps bugging me about it.

I saw The Birds when I was really little. I feel like you guys watched so many more movies than I did. I feel so behind in film!

At least there should be popcorn in the movie room. Very Happy
The book room ... hmmm, I don't know. I guess it won't matter if we no longer have our brilliant minds. All the movies and books will be new to us everysingleday!

I keep seeing it but I haven't picked it up. How strongly would you recommend it?

Damn. You told me about this series an eternity ago and I'd forgotten about them. I should get that one.

Let me know how it is. I can't muster the energy to care enough to read it. Same with The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.

You've still seen more than I have. I bet you anything.

Tel me a few.

How many blind people does it take to screw in a light bulb?

Fuck if I know. Why would I want to screw in a light bulb?

Why did the blind person cross the road?

To find some sidewalk.
