The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

That wasn't Strangelove's. He just knew what it was when the Soviet ambassador announced that they had built and activated one.

So I just watched Point Break ! What the hell, all this time I thought it was sort of a cheesy so-bad-it's-good movie, but...it was actually pretty good! And Patrick Swayze was great!

I was just talking about that movie tonight. I didn't know if the person was talking about Point Blank or Point Break and then I said it didn't matter because they were both awesome.

I had low expectations because I was expecting The Fast and the Furious with surfing, but it was much better. Although I did like The Fast and the Furious.

I've actually seen it all at this point. Well, the major ones: Point Break, Near Dark, Strange Days, and The Hurt Locker. I have not seen K-19: The Widowmaker.

Now that I look at what I've seen of hers, I see she's got a Danny Boyle genre-hopping thing going on. And she's good at them all.

What did you think of Strange Days?

Honestly, I saw it a long time ago and don't really remember. I'm pretty sure I liked it, but I also think it wasn't what I was expecting. I may have had mixed feelings.

Okay, I moved it to the top of my Netflix queue; I've been wanting to rewatch it anyway. Looks like I gave it four stars back in the day.
