Heh. Even funnier to me, as I'm currently reading Umberto Eco's The Name of the Rose, which is set in an abbey that has monks who copy manuscripts.

What's its heilage?

A story that The Onion would be proud of. Could have been used as a form of self-advertising, too.

I loved how Alien brought together horror and science fiction. If it didn't do anything for you, as you admit that you're not into horror, then fair enough.

Now, I'll throw in here that I can't abide Aliens. To me, it betrayed the horror elements of Alien, making it more akin to some dumb action movie with some added schmaltz thrown in. Unlike many, I actually consider Alien3 the better film than Aliens (certainly not Alien), in that it does try to bring back the horror elements and darkness in a different way. Still, I can understand why many deride that film. The Assembly Cut does make amends, and is possibly worth watching if you didn't care about the theatrical version.

  1. Pulp Fiction
  2. Reservoir Dogs
  3. Jackie Brown
  4. The rest (not that fussed about them to decide their order)

Just finished watching Joker: Folie à Deux.

Admittedly it was something different, but it didn't really grab me like the first one. Being a musical and a promotion video for Lady Gaga did raise my cynicism level somewhat. Not terrible, had its moments, but a missed opportunity.

I suppose the joke's on me...

Waldo Jeffers tried that with unexpected consequences.

Maybe dribbled the wrong way. Baby spit can be a projectile...

That's what the constant cry wolf has lead to. The absurd has become real.

Should have made a detour to Pratt's Bottom.

This thread could well have been written by an infinite amount of monkeys, too.
