christian- it is good, but not as good as i hoped it would be. songs were not that addicting, and it was far too bloody (but i knew that already).
julie- that is quite a list! i have already seen rushmore, the life aquatic, the squid and the whale, stranger than fiction, i heart huckabees, and all the austin powers. but i will get right on the others!
You should get on top of seeing as many as you can before returning to school, so that this obsession does not distract you from your studies.
Aside, did you know they are making a movie of the book Twilight?
fantastic!! do you mind if i steal this from you?? lol by the way, see “once” if you haven’t already!!
curls- i think i watched like one movie last semester, haha. i’m fairly good at managing my time. i was able to cut my tv time down to 5 hours a week, which still amazes me. and yes, i of course knew about the twilight movie.
al- of course not, it’s all over lj right now. and i will add once to my list!
