100 Things I love about movies (1-25)

I am taking this from Jason's blog and I am going to try to come up with a bunch of things I love about the movies. It might take me several attempts to complete as I tend to forget things quickly. Mostly this list will containt stuff from the movies I have seens thousands of times and remember well. I am also doing specifically American movies.

So here's the list in no particular order:

1. The nose signal in The Sting
2. "I'll be back!" The Terminator
3. "Stuck in the middle with you.." not the ear cutting scene in Reservoir Dogs but the way the music is used by Mr. Tarantino (I actually like that about all of his movies)
4. "Girl, you'll be a woman soon" with Uma Thurman OD'ing in Pulp Fiction
5. Bruce Lee grabbing a fistfull of Chuck Norris's fur in Way of the Dragon
6. "Do you understand the words that are coming out my mouth" Chris Tucket to Jackie Chan in Rush Hour
7. The sword against revolver scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark
8. Any banter between Clooney and Pitt in Ocean's 11
9. Diner orgazm scene in When Harry met Sally
10. Buzz Lightyear
11. Robin Williams as Jinn
12. Jack Nicholson as the Joker
13. Tom Hanks jumping on the piano in F.A.O. Schwartz in Big
14. Han Solo shooting Gweedo under the table in Star Wars: New Hope
15. Pierce Bronson driving tank through St. Petersburg in Goldeneye
16. Timothy Dalton as Bond
17. Cheap chinese vehicle in The Fifth Element
18. "My Schwartz is bigger than your schwartz!" Dark Helmet in Spaceballs
19. "I am Rabbi Tuckman" Robin Hood: Men in Tights
20. "Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."
21. Eye of Tiger in the background in Iron Eagle
22. The tower fly-by in Top Gun
23. House lifted up by baloons in Up!
24. Han Solo: "Never tell me the odds."
25. "R2-D2 you can't die. Who's going to keep me company during nights." That phrase just proved something.

Ok, hard thinking has brought my mind to a grinding halt.

More to come soon.

Things you never cared to know about Mayonnaise

I have decided to start a new Rubric. Once a week I will write a post about a random subject. Having the subject coming out of MY head, it can be about anything. I constantly have a lot of random "Why?" and "How does?" questions floating around in my head. I will try to explain how I arrived to the subject at hand and promise to do diligent research on Wikipedia and provide you, the unfortunate reader, with either the interesting or unusual bits of info. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED! In addition to that I have a slight fetish for trivia. The rubric will be called: Things you never cared to know about Today's topic is Mayonnaise . How did I arrive to that? As I was making breakfast in the morning, I decided that I wanted to take a pita pocket and stuff it with something. The pitas are usually fairly dry, and you have to toast them. I did not have Hummus or Babaganoush (GOD! I just love saying BA-BA-GA-NOUSHHHHHHHHH!) I put a little Mayo inside to soften it up. So, ther

Crazy ideas - UPDATED

Here's a crazy survey I thought off. If you had a time machine where would you travel first? Assuming the fact of course of universal invincibility. ----UPDATE---- As my brother mentioned, with time travel universally available getting rich schemes would be less than doable. My aim is more towards investigating great mysteries of history. Therefore: a. To the Big Bang b. To see an asteroid killing dinosaurs c. To see the exodus of Jews as it really happened d. Try to see if Jesus hubbub really happened e. Forget the past, I'd go to the year 2020 to see who winds World Series and place a bet accordingly. f. Suggested by Ilya . Back a day or to to purchase winning lottery ticket. e. Try to see if Atlantis existed. f. Travel to the future to see the explosion of our Sun. I am torn between the dinosaurs and the World Series. Please suggest the choices. Should I add Buddha and Muhammed to the list as well? From the curiousity stand-point. I still rather see the dinosaurs.

Sunday Night Blogging.

I used to hate olives. Really really hate them, to a point of gagging. I have recently tried on a personal dare to eat the big green greek olives with crap stuffed inside of them. Some think it's anchowies, some think it's salmon, i think it's pepper. I've bought a small cup of them yesterday. They were with peppers inside of them, little red jalapenos, sticking out a bit. For those of my readers who ever had a male dog, the picture is precisely what you are thinking. I am not saying anything else. BTW, the peppers were spicy, although not too spicy. My little one take a look at one of them and proudly declares: "Daddy, the chiken almost got out of that one!" And here's the offending fruit (berry? vegetable? what is an olive?) just before I devoured it.
