Great Expectations

Okie dokie, folks. Let's go. What shall we tackle today? I don't bloody well know.
Movies? Okay. How about a list of dos and don'ts?
Don'ts
1. Movies with Tom Cruise, Richard Gere, Susan Sarandon, Jim Carrey
2. Movies that are described as "Heart-warming."
3. Action movies
4. Movies involving Martial Arts
5. Movies with senseless violence and cursing.
6. Movies with gratuitous icky-ness
7. Movies with an agenda
8. Chick flicks--if there are characters singing into cooking utensils or other household items, it's a no-no (Steel Magnolias doesn't count, because there aren't any instances of spontaneous singing)
9. "Historical" movies which ignore actual history. (i.e. "Titanic"--don't even get me started)
Dos
1. Movies based on literature.
2. Movies with real plots and developed characters
3. Movies with clever and/or dry humor
4. War movies
5. Mobster movies
6. Musicals
7. Sci-fi movies that are well-thought out (i.e. Blade Runner, Gattaca, Frequency, et. al)
8. Dramas

I have high expectations when it comes to movies. Basically, my biggest request for movies--as for most things in life: Don't waste my time! If I can predict the end of the movie, or the next line of dialogue, it's a waste of time. There are probably several other qualifications that I use, but I can't really think of them right now. Let me know what you think.

Coming Soon...

The answers to all of your questions will be revealed...compelling, no? Seriously though, if your questions involve wanting to know what the heck the purpose of this is...that may possibly, at some point, in the future become clear. In the meantime...I leave this shrouded in a cloud of mystery...Mwah ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!!!!
