I will be edumacated in talkies!
I've just signed up for Netflix (you know you want to be my friend- I just rated Captain Ron 4-stars!- I'm going to have a 3% compatibility rating with Christine and Jpatt) and because everyone needs goals aside from their academic and career goals, I've decided to work my way down the AFI's 100 Years. . .100 Movies of the 100 best American movies (the original list).

So that's. . .twenty-three (almost forgot I watched Apocalypse Now with Christine) that I've seen, out of a hundred. Thank you graduate film course, for being responsible for my having seen The Birth of a Nation which I can pretty much promise you I would not have rented at random, despite my love of history.
Now- bring over a bottle of wine and come watch some movies with me. Also: any suggestions of things you love that I OMG HAVE TO WATCH, let me know. I do not do gory horror movies and I do cry at ridiculous shit.
That is all.
Love from a Sarah
