It's been happening every year for 4 or 5 years now; last year dgeiser13 took the reins. Keep an eye on the home page in November, that's when it usually gets announced.
Wow, that's a punch in the stomach, I somehow missed this news. I mean, I knew this was coming one way or another, and maybe the denials are true, but he's getting up there. It'll be a sad day when it comes, but hopefully it's still aways off. And even if he dies tomorrow, what a life! Hard to be too sad about that.
Thank you for the links. The whorehouse bed story is GREAT.
"Class act" is the only way to describe that guy. Funny to observe that on the heels of the phrase "whorehouse bed", but that won't stop me.
No no, it's not that I don't think it's right, it's just that I don't think I'm a very impressive representative of the personality. I'm eclectic, but not broadly eclectic. There are so many genres I haven't even dipped my toes into yet.
Wow, how'd I get on here?! It's been all about the movie lists for me for quite awhile. I wish I qualified as eclectic, but I don't go deep enough or wide enough for that. It's flattering to be included, though! Looking at my old music lists, I'm curious to know what got me the nod?
(I won't be hurt if you re-review my lists and axe me; I'm not nearly as eclectic as others in the personality... or the other personalities, for that matter.)
I gotta say, if you look at my top tier for this year I owe you big, as Into the Wild, 28 Weeks Later, and Death Proof are all movies I might have skipped if you hadn't been so high on them, so thanks for that too!
Hopefully Bourne #3 will work out for you. I think in general I like that series more than you do, although I know you thought #2 was better than #1, so hopefully it keeps moving in the right direction.
I read that the book is more ambiguous: the hero is actually cast as a bit of a terrorist holdout. There's a legitimate zombie (vampire?) society forming, and he's the fly in the ointment. Something like that.
Wow, glad you still keep up with these lists of mine! I would have thought you and everybody else would have given me up as the marginalized Listology participant I've become. :-)
I'd certainly agree that the ending does not live up to the rest of the movie. When I referred to not being outraged by it, it was just in reference to deviations from the book, not its merits in itself. Definitely the weakest part of the movie.
The way they should have ended it: They should have cut to the credits as she was driving along the tree-lined VT road. Or, at most, as she was pulling up to the gate, leaving a question as to whether anyone was still alive inside. Still, I'm a sucker for happy endings, so I'm not sure I would have liked that better, but I probably would have respected it more. Actually, the main reason I don't like the ending is not because it's too feel-good, but because there's no way that wall would hold, having watching how clever, relentless, strong, fast, numerous, etc. the NYC zombies were. Maybe VT zombies have grown soft from the country living.
Anyway, glad my recommendation (mostly) panned out for you!

Hey, I'm just happy you're back (again)!

Very cool!
Ha! Very fun list, thanks for posting it.
Thanks!

JohnnyW! It's always a treat to see your name pop up on one of my lists!
Thanks for the trivia, and man, I'm relieved to hear Ballistic was the end of the line for Mr. K. That is as it should be.
Hooray! Welcome back!
Holy cow! How many times do you have to do the "thousands of tiny little helicopter pieces" trick before you get that good at the other tricks?
Ah, the dog scenario, great scene!

:-) Yup, sure glad I caught that one. Did you like it as well?
Just a neighboring (more or less) town, but for all the work involved it may as well be the moon!
