You forgot to mention the lead character's fetish for a certain type of sweater. I guarantee John Waters raised at least an eyebrow. Expect the unexpected, but it's definitely a good movie. Just a little off center.
As for Martin Landau, I liked him again in "The Majestic", but alas it was not to be on award day. He was a regular cast member on "Mission Impossible" in the U.S.
It's good mental exercise, but I think we're spending WAY to much time on this censor topic. Do we really get that many posts to warrant this much discussion? I know I'm the one keeping it alive, but I personally haven't seen a negative post worth eliminating since the "temporary and blunder stupid post" problem when I first became a member here. And that was months ago.
It's your baby, Jim. Surprise us all with a complete and total changeover. THEN take your vacation. ;) I'll leave it alone now. I wish I gave a damn about the Academy Awards. lol
You could keep a record on which members have pushed the panic button the most, (an ID for possible overuse, abuse or over-sensitivity). You could also keep a record of the people who have had it activated on their input the most, (an ID for those most prone to abusing the etiquette guidelines.)
Both systems of accounting would provide you with the information you need to stop abuse at either end. If you made the record available to membership eyes, it might even give us a better idea of how to respond to an individual or discussion, (not that 98% of us don't already know how to properly do that.)
I'm thinking you're probably looking at the least amount of work for yourself in the long run. (Who isn't?) Pardon my complete ignorance for programming, but could a system be put in place where some type of "Panic" button is added on each new post. If more than one member hits that button the post would be temporarily deleted or highlighted over in black at least until you have time to examine it at your leisure.
This would allow you the freedom of NOT moderating for extended amounts of time while still giving Listology the power to almost immediately censor itself, (something I think the membership is definitely capable of doing.)
The only thing you might want to think about is how many hits on that so-called "panic button" you would want before the post gets censored. You could set up some type of probationary period with an apology to the membership from the offender replacing immediate membership removal. Or whatever you please.
First one's OK, but the second has to go. Everyone is going to draw their own lines when it comes to censorship, so maybe you could come up with the expanded version of George Carlin's "Seven Dirty Words". Maybe 36 or so ;)
#15. By Rob Zombie, but I can't remember the song title.
#48. Hall of Mirrors by the Distillers.
#49. Sounds like a line in Van Morrison's "Brown Eyed Girl, but I'll choose "Crocodile Rock" by Elton John.
#54. Mona Lisa and Madhatters by Elton John (or Mandy Moore if you insist)
Number 8 is from "Blood Feast". Where in the world did you dig this movie up? I can't remember the actor who played Fuad Ramses so this guess may not count, but I do remember this being considered not only the first "gore" movie from the early 60's, but one of the worst ever.
One other note. If I were to use your example with an "article", in other words - with long sentences that would continually spread from one side of my monitor to the other, it might prove hard to read. The more narrow the paragraph the easier it is to find the next line when you return to the left. Just a thought.
Concerning the sidebar... I think you could turn all three boxes into shortcut links. A small explanation along with the title would help a lot of first timers.
I feel bad you're getting negative feedback on your work. Perhaps you should've asked for feedback before asking for a vote. Sometimes "change" is a hard thing to ask for.
You might want to either drop the top line (title) of the list to get below the logo or make the top line a little bolder. There seems to be a conflict between the two that makes the first word in the title a little hard to read. Otherwise, it looks fine.
To no one in particular - a piece of trivia: For "Monkey Island" the J. Geils Band dropped the J. from their name and became just "Geils". It returned on the next album.
I hope it's a little used tactic on Listology to ignore someone asking a question, twice. You're the first member I've found who's unapproachable. Hat's off, my friend!

#10: "Ed Wood" '94 :)

Still juggling ideas!

Just throwing around ideas.

Worst for me... his role in "Dead Man". Or maybe it was just the movie. Strange!
For some reason, #8 reminds me of Richard Pryor. ;)

My head hurts.

Interesting take on Spielberg's "Duel". I love it when someone opens my eyes to a director's less obvious work in a film. Great work!
