That should hold ya.

In case anyones actually reading this, and isnt used to not seeing a post for weeks at a time, here's a list of movies to check out when you're bored...
My personal picks:
Action
The Warriors - classic, and oddly funny
Battle Royale - Gotta use subtitles with this one, but it's worth it. Crazy setting and plot, like many other movies on this list
District B13 - Another movie that you'll need subtitles with, unless you speak French... This film highlights the art of Parkour with all sorts of crazy chase scenes.
Leon : The Professional - A hitman takes a young Natalie Portman under his wings, reluctantly. A creepy/awkward relationship begins
Wasabi - Practically the same story as Leon, but this time, the main character has to take care of a 19 year old Japanese girl. Won't make you feel as dirty as The Professional will.
The Boondock Saints - Awesome vigilante movie, just check it out already.

Drama
The Mist - Wow, this movie really stirred up emotions. Just watch it and you'll see. Pretty much all the emotions are there: Fear, anger, despair. All but the good emotions.
12 Angry Men - The only black and white movie that I really enjoyed. And the only movie on this list that has almost no action of the violent variety at all. Bravo.
Comedy (stand-up: check em out on youtube if you can't find 'em anywhere else)
Mitch Hedberg - Awesome 1-liners with a very unique presentation
The Amazing Jonathan - Awesome magical comedy
Flight of the Conchords - Awesome musical comedy
Russell Peters - Awesome stereotypical/almost racist comedy

Well, knock yourselves out. I hope I helped someone find some new favorites.

P.S. if anyone's really bored, watch Donnie Darko. Then explain what the movie was about. Then realize you wasted 113 minutes of your life.
I don't understand what its about or why its rated so high on IMDB or why so many people say its their favorite. I would like to know... kthxbai

I just had an amazing idea maybe. Put Ilovefroyo's blog under the bad stuff, because we know it's bad and it makes us angry
