I know I shun memes but I think this one gives a good cross section of my personality through pop culture. Also, I’m waiting for work to come across my desk so I thought I’d meme myself, privately, in my cube.

Via Gambrinous comes The Entertainment Weekly top 100 Movies from the Last 25 Years and your personal gripes.

– Bold the movie if you’ve seen it (actually it’s easier if I bold the ones I HAVEN’T seen, so that’s what I’ve done.)
– Put asterisks next to the movies you’ve seen and really liked (3*** = great! 2**= Hum ya! 1*= S’was OK)
– If you saw a film and hated it, cross it out.
