Friday is List Day: Oscars Edition The Oscars are this weekend, so here's a few lists for your enjoyment including some movie related ones. Oh, and of course, I'll be liveblogging the Oscars (as I did last year, and even a few years before that). Feel free to stop by and play along! Random Ten
Everyone does Oscar Blunders lists, but there are some that I've always thought were being a little too harsh. Were the below wins really a "blunder"? Probably, but I think it's worth considering that the films that won...

Friday is List Day: Book List Meme Looks like there's a book meme making the rounds: Read it? Bold it. Start it, but didn't finish it? Italicize it. Hated it? As you can see, there are few books that I've started and not finished (and the ones I have were only started due to some sort of school assignment that didn't require a complete reading). I also don't hate many of the books, but perhaps that's just because I think hate is a pretty strong word. (I have no idea where this list of books came from - it's a mildly ecclectic mix of old and new. I guess Sara just made it up? Strange.) Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell Anna Karenina Crime and Punishment Catch-22 One Hundred Years of Solitude Wuthering Heights The Silmarillion Life of Pi: A Novel The Name of the Rose Don Quixote Moby Dick Ulysses Madame Bovary The Odyssey Pride and Prejudice Jane Eyre A Tale of Two Cities The Brothers Karamazov Guns, Germs, and Steel: the Fates of Human Societies War and Peace Vanity Fair The Time Traveller's Wife The Iliad Emma The Blind Assassin The Kite Runner Mrs. Dalloway Great Expectations American Gods A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius Atlas Shrugged Reading Lolita in Tehran Memoirs of a Geisha Middlesex Quicksilver Wicked : The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West The Canterbury Tales The Historian A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man Love in the Time of Cholera Brave New World The Fountainhead Foucault's Pendulum Middlemarch Frankenstein The Count of Monte Cristo Dracula A Clockwork Orange Anansi Boys The Once and Future King The Grapes of Wrath The Poisonwood Bible 1984 The Inferno The Satanic Verses Sense and Sensibility The Picture of Dorian Gray Mansfield Park One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest To the Lighthouse Oliver Twist Tess of the Dubervilles Gulliver's Travels Les Miserables The Corrections The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time Dune The Prince The Sound and the Fury Angela's Ashes A People's History of the United States : 1492-Present The God of Small Things Cryptonomicon Neverwhere A Confederacy of Dunces A Short History of Nearly Everything Dubliners The Unbearable Lightness of Being Beloved The Scarlet Letter Eats, Shoots & Leaves The Mists of Avalon Oryx and Crake: A Novel Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed Cloud Atlas The Confusion Lolita Persuasion Northanger Abbey The Catcher in the Rye On the Road The Hunchback of Notre Dame Freakonomics Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance The Aeneid Watership Down Gravity's Rainbow The Hobbit In Cold Blood Treasure Island White Teeth David Copperfield The Three Musketeers And Roy's additions: For Whom the Bell Tolls Maus War of the Worlds The Invisible Man Time Machine Old Man and the Sea Bluest Eye The Republic The Bible Alice in Wonderland Wizard of Oz Return to Oz Ender's Game It Misery The Chronicles of Narnia Beowulf The Stranger Animal Farm Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret Lord of the Flies Naked Lunch The Confessions of Nat Turner Rabbit, Run As I Lay Dying Snow Crash The Sound and the Fury The Great Gatsby Watchmen Charlotte's Web The Giving Tree Good Night Moon A Wrinkle in Time The BFG I suppose I could add some books, but there's no real limit here and there doesn't seem to be any sort of theme, so I'll just leave it be.

Bride of Friday is List Day It's been months since I've posted one of these, and even Roy isn't doing this anymore, but I figure, why not? Random Ten

Friday is List Day If Friday really is list day, I should really be doing this every week. For some reason, I sometimes don't get around to it, but really, how hard is it? Random Ten

List Day is Friday Strange night. I'm mildly drunk right now, so these lists should reflect that. The Random 10:

Link to Someone New: Top 100 Movies Edition A quick note: after a promising start, the screenshot game has stalled a bit. Alex posted a screenshot (update: new screenshot posted, and we have a winner!), but I have no idea what it is, and apparently neither do his readers. If you've got a keen cinematic eye, go check it out and see if you can answer it (if you get it right, you get to host the next round!) When I started the game, I was a little worried that something like this would happen. One of the perils of trying to start a meme on a low traffic blog, I guess. That's why my screenshot was so easy. I bet this could take off if it ever hits a reasonably high traffic blog. In any case, it's time to make another attempt at escaping the echo chamber of blog reading that I've constructed around myself by linking to people I've never linked to before. The theme here is Top 100 movie lists.
The other challenge is how subjective to be. There are a lot of incredible films in terms of film techniques or innovation, but do they really belong on my list? Citizen Kane is an incredible film, and on any objective list, it should probably be somewhere near the top. But should it be on my list? I recognize the greatness of the film, and I got into it while watching it, but in the end, I didn't really connect with it the way I do with some of the films that will be at the top of my list. On the other end of the spectrum, I have an inexpicable love for Phantasm. While undeniably creepy at times, it's also a pretty bad film. Should either of those films be on my list? Who knows? Maybe filling up 100 slots will be harder than it seems, but I have a feeling that I'm going to have lots of honorable mentions... I doubt I'll be able to compile a good list by Sunday, but you never know. Maybe I should start with the cinecast confessions list: Movies I Can't Believe I've Never Seen.
