**FRIEND REQUESTS will be denied if I have no idea who you are. If you'd like to add me as a friend on here you'll have better luck if you interact with me somehow FIRST (unless of course I've interacted with you first)...votes, comments, etc.**. I'm not here to boost your numbers.

The majority of my lists can be found by following the links provided in these lists...
A Listal user's guide to my movie lists, which contains all of my movie lists so far (the newest movie lists will say "Newly published")

My annual Best movies of lists, which compiles the links to my Best movies of lists for 1977-2010 (also linked to in the list above)

the giraffe's 30 days lists, which contains links to all of my 30 day meme lists, the ones that helped shape them, and the ones my lists have influenced

Hey, how are you. Long time no hear lately. Since you also like classic horror (you do, right?) I thought I might share this review with you: How is it?

http://www.listal.com/viewentry/1956829

Hope everything is all well on your side!

I guess I might watch the rest eventually, since I always have to sort of finish a franchise. But not rushing into it. :P

Wow, that's cool! Wouldn't surprise me a bit if he is a nice guy, seeing as it looks like most of the actors playing ruthless horror characters appears to be nice people in general. Yes, I've noticed on some pictures that she looks much hotter now. Guess it is because her hair is more straight now. Shame about not getting that autograph!

Yeah, sort of. :p Done with them for now, since those are the only ones I've managed to get on DVD. Not exactly my favorite horror franchise, all though Pinhead is a cool character. :P

Hey man, thanks for the interview link! Haven't had time to read it yet (or do much of anything else around here lately) as my girlfriend and I have been busy planning a vacation to Puerto Rico! Oh, super excited, if a bit overwhelmed trying to figure out the exact details and "right" place for us to stay and such. Also, you don't have to believe me, but I've actually been sticking to a workout routine over the last few weeks. So yeah, movies and listal activity has taken a bit of a hit...

Hope all is well with you. Catch ya later.

Thank you so much for your vote and lovely comment on my Watched in 2012 list, kind sir :D Once you've seen Fincher's film I'm keen to hear about your opinion as well ;)

I'm glad you liked my movie titles list. Honestly, I forgot all about it but suddenly it has a bunch of new votes. Thanks, amigo.
Posted: 3 days ago at Jan 26 8:19
Thanks so much for voting and commenting, man! I've been told I should check out The American and I believe I've seen comparisons to Drive elsewhere, so I clearly need to finally get on that. The comments I've heard from those who haven't liked it have been along the lines of "Oh, that movie's just too European..." Then again, people say the same about Drive, so I can't imagine it'll keep me from liking it.

That's wonderful! You seem to have liked it even more then, but I think I'll like it more when I see it again. Haven't seen it since it was in cinema, but I do own the DVD, and will probably get around to it soon. It's one of the few good Norwegian films. :)

Thanks for the picture vote! And have a very happy evening this fine 24th of January!

Posted: 4 days, 16 hours ago at Jan 24 16:23
My god... I swear that I have written a comment on your January list at least twice... then I wonder from the page and lose the post. Any'who... guess what list I'm updating today :P

Your favorite movie lists run from 1978 to 2011 correct? I just want to make sure I'm not missing a year or two here or there.

thanks for the piranha 3dd trailer video vote.

Congrats on seeing The Artist! I'm HOPING to see it on Tuesday. And yes, I'll be excited to compare notes then. I'm doing my best to go into it as blindly as possibly, so I'm gonna hold off on checking your movie journal till then... couldn't resist at peaking at your 9/10 rating though :P
Posted: 6 days, 7 hours ago at Jan 23 1:22
Thanks a lot for the help I really appreciate it.
Posted: 6 days, 11 hours ago at Jan 22 21:48
Random question but I figured I should ask you since you've done a lot with lists and know the different ways to do them. How do you add images to your entries besides the default poster or cover? I just can't seem to figure it out. I'm sure it's something rather simple but I just can't seem to notice I guess.

Thanks for the vote and comment on my DeNiro list - Awakenings is on the list of movies that I want to see during the TCM's 31 days of Oscar next month and I forgot DeNiro was in Backdraft, I think I saw that in the theater, but don't remember it to well,
I will put it on my list of movies to see along with Stardust and Brazil.
For you I would highly recommend The Godfather Part 2, The Untouchables and The King of Comedy - all three great, great movies - I would also recommend Midnight Run, which I am surprised not more people have seen - I always thought it was considered one of DeNiro's classics.

Hope you are having a nice weekend, we finally got our first snowfall of the season here, time to crank up the heat and break out some movies :)
