    Only for first time viewings. For instance, I'm 99% sure that The Apartment is a 10/10, but I'm going to watch it again at least once before I officially induct it into my Hall of Fame. That's serious business, you know.

    Yes that movie rocks.
    Blog!

    And it's happened once again
    I'll turn to a friend
    Someone that understands
    And sees through the master plan
    But everybody's gone
    And I've been here for too long
    To face this on my own
    Well, I guess this is growing up
