DirtyOldTown: This is one of my three or four favorite movies EVER. I have a list of things. I could fill the whole page. Great, interesting comment about Steve de Jarnatt in Lemkin's very interesting post on the film "Miracle Mile". Go ahead and fill the whole page, DoT!

"I just posted paduasoy's "six films about cats, with no cat death" list. You can see the films via the hashtag #CatFilms ... Donate $25 to MeFi and I'll post six films on a custom theme of your choice, too!" In the Mefi fundraising thread, DirtyOldTown offers to do that thing he does so well. 💖

DirtyOldTown is creating member-sponsored themed days of films on FanFare for site fundraising. Currently on the marquis is katie's request for six films that pass the Bechdel Test. DirtyOldTown has posted one from each of the last six decades, stretching back 50 years.

roolya_boolya's sponsored theme day of Arctic Life films

(If you'd like to sponsor a themed posts day, donate $20 to MeFi's fundraising drive and MeMail DirtyOldTown to discuss)

DirtyOldTown has posted Inception on Fanfare, and for some reason, I just have the idea that this might be some of DOT's finest work.
