From the website today...
It's time I take Movie Mockery to a higher level. In fact, at one time I was considering naming this site "Movie Mockery." No need to thank me for that bit of info. It's kind of like a special feature you find on DVDs. Anyway, you've heard of the American Film Institute, haven't you? They come up with a bunch of "100 Lists." The 100 best movies, the 100 best comedies, etc. It's pretty hard to take a list seriously that considers Titanic to be a better thriller than Memento. So what does this mean? It's ripe for mockery!
But what route do I take? Do I make fun of every single choice in every single list? That'd take, oh, approximately the rest of my life. Or do I pick one category and comment on the choices just within that category? Do I comment on their top ten of various lists? Or are there better lists out there that would be even more fun to ridicule? Or would it just be better for me to create my own lists?
What would YOU have the most fun reading? I'm open to suggestions and ideas. After all, it's YOU that I'm trying to educate, enlighten, and entertain.

I figure you should start out simple and use the AFI lists, commenting on their top 10's. That way you don't have to worry right off the bat about coming up with everything yourself.

I think you should start out with the fact that AFI thought Atticus Finch (from To Kill a Mockingbird, played by Gregory Peck) was a better hero than Indiana Jones!
Or that Hannibal Lecter was a better villian than Norman Bates...sigh. So not true!
Other than that, I tend to agree with most of the stuff on their lists, so back on off with that, yo!
heh:)

It's pretty hard to take a list seriously that considers Titanic to be a better thriller than Memento. Aw, come on. Who coulda guessed that the ship was going to sink like that? Do what you like JB - we're pretty much impressed by anything you take the time to do.
