Are you “movie literate”?
Jim Emerson, a film critic, has compiled a list of 102 movies he believes EVERYONE has to see in order to be able to carry on an informed discussion of movies. They aren’t supposed to be the BEST 102 movies ever, because everyone has subjective ideas about what a good movie is. Look at me for instance. I LUH-HUVE the movie “UHF”. Now, would anyone who isn’t a “Weird Al” Yankovic fan make that outrageous claim. 🙂 They might be culturally impactful, or just have great cinematography, or just have that “je ne sai qua.”
Now, I love movies, as much or more than the next person but some of these I haven’t even heard of. I’m now on a mission to say that I’ve seen all 102 of these films. Following the lead of Kottke, I’ve listed the movies and indicated which ones I’ve already seen as of April 26, 2006.
Chris Pirillo is the guy behind much online greatness. Lockergnome, Gada.be, Rent My Chest. When he lived in San Francisco I went to a They Might Be Giants concert with him at The Fillmore. A brush with greatness that included hanging out with Robert Scoble (pre-microsoft days I believe). Pretty great guys. Anyhoo…
Chris recently flew somewhere and he wanted everyone to know that airplane safety is NO LAUGHING MATTER. However, this video is. Sit back as Chris explains airplane safety in his own inimitable way.

Funny ad
While reading my blogs I “happened” upon this entry. “Some” company designed this fake ad that they think is funny. “They” hope you do too.
I don’t know “why” they chose a Green Bay Packer to put in the TV but “someone” might have influenced “whoever” made this ad.
Go read about the fake ad. “Whoever” writes that blog is very clever.
Update 4/26: I’ve heard through the grapevine that they want to run the ad!!!! WTF? heh. Guess they’re gonna have to reshoot that butt since it was “lifted” from a Nike ad from a while back.
