A friend recently asked me for some movie recommendations. Do I acknowledge far too much OCD if I mention that I keep a list of all the movies I’ve watched? \ud83d\ude42 I have a good rationale for it, really! Oh well, that’s a story for another time.<\/p>\n
Anyway, I went digging through the list and came up with some interesting and eclectic choices. It’s been forever since I wrote in this blog; I figured this would be a good excuse to share. So, here’s a list, in no particular order and with a bare minimum of commentary:<\/p>\n

\nPunch Drunk Love – ignore that it’s starring Adam Sandler. Honest.
\nThe Basketball Diaries
\nRavenous – a Civil War-era western, vampire movie. No, really.

One more note: If you rent DVDs, and you don’t already use Netflix, what on earth are you waiting for?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
