Random Synaptic Misfire
The senses consume. The mind digests. The blog expels.

Certain individuals keep telling me that I should be a writer (Hi Mom). This is probably as close as I'll ever come to making that happen.

A palm tree, DVDs, and thee

By Foo
I wasn't going to do this. I really wasn't. I'm far too indecisive about such things, which is really my way of saying that I have a hard time thinking of what movies I've actually seen. On the other hand, that should make things easier since the ones I do remember must've made an impression.

Here's my list of the movies I'd choose to take along if I knew I were going to be exiled stranded on a desert island:
  • Western - Tombstone
  • Horror - Saving Private Ryan (hey... I was horrified)
  • Sci-Fi - Serenity
  • Musical - Rocky Horror Picture Show (I loathe musicals, generally)
  • Comedy - Monty Python's Holy Grail
  • War - Red Dawn
  • Action - Hellboy
  • Foreign - The Triplets of Bellville
  • Classic (before 1960) - The Magnificent Seven
  • Documentary - Ride With The Devil (not technically a documentary, but praised as being historically accurate)
  • Bonus Pick (any genre) - Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels

    I could probably handle your video collection, I love Rocky Horror and Monty Python, but I really think you should take some Mystery Science Theater 3000s. That's some entertainment.

    I commend in particular two of your choices. "Hellboy" is an underrated, very entertaining movie, and "Triplets" was just wonderful (especially for a cyclist).

    In order...

    Seen it, hated it, loved it, own it, laughed my ass off during it, never heard of it, LOATHED it (but also Hoop's favorite), No idea, thought it was well done, interested in it, want to own it.

    Glad to see I'm not alone in picking Rocky Horror, although it probably outperforms as a musical, vs. a horror flick. Good choices, all.

    I just came over from 'randomly walking' and I would agree, hard to choose which ones would be favorites.
