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!

Condour75 has made a neat little app called Memento Movi! Here’s how they describe it: “The user enters date of birth and life expectancy, and chooses from a list of movies. The site then shows a frame from that movie that represents your place in your lifespan. So, for instance, a twenty-year-old who selects Star Wars will likely get a frame from Tattooine, but a sixty-year-old who selects Jaws will be on the boat.”

I’m 71.02% of the way through Howl's Moving Castle, how about you?

At some point someone dared to wonder, "what if a time-displaced MMA-fightin' Viking orphan became a carpenter's apprentice to Jesus of Nazareth?" and voila, a movie was born! But of all the tools in this production, which ones are most wrong? Jedicus helps us see the light.

DirtyOldTown has the most appropriate question for this time of year: What’s your favorite scary movie. No, this is not about real life or the US Presidential election, just plain ol’ Halloween!
