Anyway, I think this community is a great idea, and i'll probably bug the shit out of you with comments, complaints, and hithertoos.

You know something? I'm beginning to change my opinion a little bit. I mean, when I think about my "top" movies of all time or something, I am thinking about my favorites.

Upon further review I'll probably retract my above statements in a future post, but we'll see how that goes.

Oh and agreed on the Woody point. It's too bad Scoop was received so poorly.
