Watching movies takes precious time away from ROCKIN' OUT
While I'm at it, here's my 100 favorite films. The time I could have spent studying the classics of cinema has instead been spent listening to brain-demolishing pop music, so my list's a little weird, particularly in what it omits. (Casa-what now? Alfred Hitch-wha?) I also regret how comparatively pedestrian it looks, since I'm only now really starting to play catchup on the kind of stuff that is not easily acquirable at the local video store (you know, the strip-mall one next to the tanning salon and down the block from the convenience store). Also: guess my favorite directors and win no prize whatsoever!
