2. I’ve visited the FDR library in Hyde Park. I’m a history student in the neighboring city, so it’s basically an unspoken requirement to make the pilgrimage. Even though I’m fiercely anti-FDR, it’s a pristine institution.

3. I’m a broke college kid- so I barely splurge. I did, however, get $200 “sports” massage a while back that was pretty useless. The worst was a $350 cut-and-color at an expensive salon (that my aunt had paid for). My hair was essentially sheered off into this Neo-80′s mess, and dyed a bright orange. Needless to say, I was not impressed.

4. I want to be an assortment of fish. The goldfish will all have names of authors I admire- Wharton, Chaucer, Bulgakow, Knowles, etc.; In a separate bowl I want a beta, who will be named Milton.

:o(

reCaptcha: 166 Lebowitz…sounds like a sweet street name!

4: I would get a boy dog and name him Ron. I already have a small chi-wienie named Hermione. I’m a Harry Potter freak that’s why I’m Fred…my sis is George

:o)

Sixth Sense
Supersize Me
Sin City
Wall E

Also like to mention one of my film-major husband’s favorites:

28 Days Later

I’m sure he’d have more, but he isn’t here right now. :)

2. Nope. Live across the world now, so probably won’t see one anytime soon.

3. I’m sure there are more than a few instances which I’ve blocked out. I will mention that my husband (before we met) spent the last of his savings – thousands of dollars – moving his parents from upstate NY to Florida so that they wouldn’t have to shovel snow anymore. After 6 months, his mother decided she missed the winters and made his dad move back to NY!

4. Not sure!

Jason – why did you pay for the shave?!?

2. I love presidential history so I’ve been to the libraries of LBJ, JFK, FDR, Clinton, Carter, Nixon, Reagan, and George H.W. Bush. I only need to go to Truman, Eisenhower, Ford and Hoover to see them all. My favorite is probably FDR’s because it’s located in the place he grew up and it tells you a lot about what influenced him.

4. Ponzi after a Ponzi scheme.

Wall-E – even though it’s only been out for like a year it showed that animated movies can make such a huge and serious point. I gotta say that I was hit powerfully when This cute little animated robot movie turned into a movie about caring about our world and becoming proactive people.

Shawshank Redemption – I’ve got to say it because it gives prisoners a human side. Everyone see prisoners as low lives but this movie portrays them as people who make mistakes or get screwed over by the system.

Green Mile – see above.

Fight Club – Expressed the built up anger/rage in our working class caused by ennui/depression and constant feeling of getting screwed over by the “higher ups”. Also started many fight clubs around the country.

The Dark Knight – again a newer movie but it shows that side of crime that is emerging. People don’t need reason to commit crime anymore. It’s a world where there is no morality. It shows the depressing fact that there is no reason to be good anymore by today’s standards. “Some people just like to watch the world burn” probably one of the strongest quotes of our generation.

No Country for Old Men – Same as above

The Matrix – Completely changed how directors saw special effects. Also like it was said earlier, nobody born before the tech revolution could ever hope to understand. Created its own world.

Death to Smoochy – probably one of the most innovative black comedies ever made.

Team America: World Police – Arguably the most brilliant satire ever made. Showed the dark side of America acting as a world police force and how there needs to be a compromise between War and Peace. All done with puppets no less. Beautifully done.

Bowling for Columbine – Started the major movie documentary genre.

Supersize Me – Started the health food trend.

Inconvenient Truth – I despise Al Gore. However this movie started the “Green” movement.

Breakfast Club – showed the pressures that teenagers face. Probably one of the first to expose this.

American History X – Discussed an untouched side of racism. The struggle of whites to find some sort of pride in their race while coexisting with other races. It also showed the real and gritty side of racism today.

Silence of the Lambs – Made horror films intelligent. This lead the way for movies like SAW.

Lord of the Rings – This trilogy brought back the epic quest genre. It is this generations Star Wars.

There are proabably many more I could add. But this is my list.

3. Once, I paid $60 to get my hair done before I went to a dance. Because I had to take off my glasses an consequently couldn’t see a thing, I didn’t realize what this crazy woman was doing to my hair. By the time she was done, it looked like one of those crazy, tall weaves you sometimes see girls wearing. I went home, washed it out, and re-did my hair myself. My mom told me I should have refused to pay for it, but I didn’t have it in my heart to do that, especially after she wasted about 3 cans of hairspray on me.

4. I want to get a black and white cat and name it Chango. Back when I was very little, I had a stuffed animal panda I loved very much who I decided to call Chango for some strange reason. Since it’s probably illegal and dangerous to keep a real panda as a pet, I figure a cat of the same colors is the closest I will get.
