Isn't the exercise more fun if you have to condense all of those categories into just one mountain? I mean, you listed 23 monsters. There is no possibility for debate, no tough choices. It's just people listing various stuff that they're into.

You mean like with English writers and poets? Hmmmm, that's a thought. Let's just bunch 'em up. That would be more fun. It would be just too tediously academician to make 23 sub-categories. Yeah, I think you've convinced me. Thanks.

You won that argument - with me at least.

Wii games

Mario Galaxy
Zelda: Twilight Princess
Pro Evo Soccer
Mario Kart

(Edited to substract the just-as-good-in-the-PS2 MLB Power Pros, as I wanted to keep it more or less restricted to exclusives)

Phoebe Cates in FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH
Nastassja Kinski in CAT PEOPLE
Isabella Rosselini in BLUE VELVET
Susan Dey in LOOKER

You obviously haven`t seen The Rachel Papers.

Anyone else ever see a complete double rainbow that stretched from horizon to horizon?

Saw one for just the second time in my life today.

Mt. Rushmore of pages in this thread

#2

#7

Mt. Rushmore of facial features from actual Mt. Rushmore presidents:

Lincoln' beard
Roosevelt's glasses
Washington's teeth
Jefferson's cornea

Mt Rushmore of candy bars

Kit-Kat
Twix
Snickers
Reese's Peanut Butter Cup (I guess not technically a candy bar, but #### it)

Butterfingers needs to be in there somewhere.

Mt. Rushmore of Schwarzenegger Movies:

Terminator 2, Total Recall, Commando, Predator

Terminator is "better" than all of those except for T2, but with the sequel in there already I figured I'd diversify.

Mt. Rushmore of Keith Richards Guitar Riffs:
(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction, Street Fighting Man, Brown Sugar, Jumpin' Jack Flash

Mt. Rushmore of Duane Allman Guitar Solos:
Blue Sky, You Don't Love Me (live), Dreams, Layla

Mt. Rushmore of scientific discoveries:
three laws of motion, evolution, microorganisms, relativity
(probably incorrect, but to be fair it's like saying "Mt. Rushmore of people")

Mt. Rushmore of people:
Abraham, Socrates, Newton, Gutenberg

Mt. Rushmore of absurdist playwrights:

Samuel Beckett, Harold Pinter, Eugene Ionesco...Jean Genet? (I don't know much about Jean Genet)

Dude, leaving "Restless" off that is ludicrous. "Restless" is ####### brilliant, and remains the best episode of anything I've ever seen.

I know nothing (or next to) about Buffy, but speaking of the best episode of anything I've ever seen, I was just talking about this at work the other day:

It was just another Friday morning for Tom Quinn. He had coffee with his girlfriend Vicky and arranged a lunch date with her. Arriving at work, he was introduced to Harry's guests Bridget and Mark. But Danny was late, and just as he arrived outside the pods a huge alarm went off and the team were thrown into an EERIE exercise.

Thus begins episode 5 of season 2 of Spooks (MI-5 when it aired on BBC America.) It's a ####### phenomenal show, of course. It's better than 24 has ever been, with the note that I haven't seen 24 since season 4. But this episode? I skived off school and work a few years back, and had this from Netflix. Popped in the DVD, and what is normally a 50 minute or so show seriously seemed like it lasted for hours. I had never and have never since experienced what "riveting" means as applied to TV. I won't give anything away for anyone who is familiar with the show but hasn't seen that episode, but I will say that it was completely able to overturn the entrenched notion that you know what will happen on TV shows. I couldn't shake that episode for days.

It's better than 24 has ever been

Not that hard to do. 24 has always been a concept in search of execution, top to bottom.

Also:

I know what you mean, but I think season 2 hit every execution point. 24 was a great show. Spooks is better.

By the way, I said it in the Lounge, but this:

Don't forget Ayn Rand, Andy.

You fool, were you born last night? That's nothing but Daddy Warbucks in drag.

might just be my favorite post ever.
