>> Saturday, August 09, 2008
Stolen from Erik from Erik Rubright: Gambrinous With Griffonage comes this week's Meme.
The rules are simple:
Using the Entertainment Weekly list of the top 100 movies from the last 25 years
- Bold the movie if you’ve seen it.
- Put asterisks next to the movies you’ve seen and really liked.
- If you saw a film and hated it, cross it out.
