Jim Emerson (for RogerEbert.com) runs down a list of 102 movies ‘everybody ought to have seen in order to have any sort of informed discussion about movies’. Being a movie buff s high on my list of never achieved/will never achieve ambitions. The list, with those I’ve seen bolded, follows after the break.

Bandslash is very creepy. I find it respectless. Like pinching an artist’s bum. But worse.
No destination
Having wasted most of my week off last week (I guess I needed the downtime, I did feel something approaching ‘human’ by the end of my break.), I intend to fully make use of the next one coming up: May 5-8.
I’ve been trying to book something, anything, anywhere, but can’t make up my mind. Or my mind is made up for me, when the mini break I pick is for couples only.
Flights anywhere seem particularly expensive that weekend, so I’m looking at something a little closer to home. Belgium. Germany. The Netherlands even.
Paris is out, since I’ve got that slotted in for June.

Pixies stole my gmail
This morning when I tried to go to gmail at mail.google.com/mail, I got a 404 not found page. When I shortened the URL and tried mail.google.com, I got this pixyblog.com homepage. Some kind of freaky DNS problem?
Where’s mah mail, Sergey?
This problem only occurs in Firefox.
