    Scoobz, just for clarity sake.

    I did send more than one PM to you, but when I look in my inbox....nada.

    When I peer into my SENT outbox: reads (unread).

    Thus my postings, because it indicated that you had not read the PMs I had sent you.

    That's all.

    Could be a caching problem, I don't know.

    But I refreshed, and did the Ctrl F5, and still: reads as an unread PM.

    At least until now. No harm intended.

    some of my favorites: donnie darko mulholland drive secretary fight club may the nightmare before christmas opera bottle rocket the believer spirited away adaptation suspiria following memento requiem for a dream happiness lost in translation audition the royal tenenbaums rushmore

    and the three worst movies: 1. no such thing (TOTAL UTTER PAINFUL HORRIBLE CRAP) 2. monsturd (this is a real movie. i'm serious. i rented it one time because i just had to know how bad a movie named "monsturd" could be. and it was bad indeed. though not as bad as "no such thing") 3. the shape of things (totally awkward, totally pretentious. hated it.)

    Three BEST films, which were masterpieces of the art form in every respect:

    1.) Apocalypse Now - Good acting, great script, incredible adaptation, incredible emotion.

    2.) As Good As It Gets - seriously, one of the best films about learning to improve yourself.

    3.) Psycho - incredible performance by Anthony Perkins, and traumatizing filmography by Hitchcock. Sticks in your head, especially at the top of the stairs...

    Three FAVORITE films, which I can pop in and watch anytime

    1.) Shrek - Funny as hell, sympathetic characters, great soundtrack. Can't wait for the sequel!

    2.) Braveheart - Kinda corny, but I adore the theme of remaining true to yourself. And the carnage, of course. Exciting battle scenes.

    3.) Hellraiser - Filmed on a tight budget, it accomplishes a lot in telling the story through theme, color, and contrast. And people without skin, of course. A vast mythology opens up with just a few special effects that even today's CGI would be pressed to match or improve upon.

    Three favorite SPOOF films - can't take these seriously, of course, but I'm attached to them for sentimental reasons.

    1.) Dead Alive - Peter Jackson (of LOTR fame) filmed this spoof of zombie flicks that outgores, outkills, and outlaughs all of them.

    2.) Bloodsucking Pharaohs In Pittsburgh - You'll never think of spring rain in the same way again. Plus, it's filmed in my neighborhood and features many landmarks that have gone the way of the wrecking ball.

    3.) Jane White Is Sick and Twisted - with Colin Mochrie of "Whose Line" fame, also features Dustin Diamond (Screech from "Saved By The Bell") and Wil Wheaton (Wesley Crusher in "ST:TNG") The cast alone deserves a look, but it's a spoof of TV culture.

    Three most HATED films of all time - avoid these if you can, if you can't, I recommend NyQuil and a fifth of strong rum.

    1.) The Royal Tenenbaums - my god, we get it, just end it already! Everybody's sad and nobody gets what they want! Did I need to watch three hours of depression?

    2.) National Lampoon's Vegas Vacation - I walked out, it was so unfunny, and I'm a cheap Scot who hates the thought of wasting money.

    3.) 2001: A Space Odyssey - Kubrick at his most self-indulgent. BORING! How many times can we listen to the entire "Blue Danube"? If that's what space was going to be like, no wonder we didn't go!
