yo 82 movies!! thats like 2 a week. thats almost $1,000!! and for what i ask? dont you wish you could have some of it back?? like last year, i have only seen a few of your selections. a credit this to 2 things- 1. nyc cinematic snobbery and 2. low standards. yes, i realize those 2 things really dont go together, but, bravo, you manage to succeed with both. how else can i explain all this movies that would either never come to my mall cineplex (journey to the sun) or were there and i smartly refused to watch (vanilla sky). but i will hand it to you, youre not afraid to see some bad movies.

anyhow, here are some curious oversights- joe dirt, my 5 wives, and the wash. (please mention these oversights to washcloth (editor's note: my new nickname is washcloth? i thought i was softbatch. what's going on here ep? out of new york/philly for three days and you're already losing your memory and your nicknaming edge?) while youre at it as i noticed he left them off his list as well. also, comend him on crazy/cool or whatever it was called. i was down with that movie.)

movie i would most like to see made in 2002- you cant lose 'em all- the story of the 1980 phillies. michael penn could play luzinski. i would also like to see fajita picnic in 2002. and of course, i, along with the rest of the world, am on the edge of my seat to see what bart decoursy's new project will be in 2002.

until next year, ill see you in the food court,
