I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Um. What else?

Eagle in the top-left?

The towers themselves?

The flags on the towers?

The king by the swimming pool?

The actual pool?

The figures above the pool?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

That the carton and the blocks are two different things?

The two instruments to the left of the pirates.

Ok- I figured it out- I did have the instruments, but forgot to type them on that list. However, somehow I didn't have the Anchor even though it was one of the first I thought I typed in!

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

OK, I'm missing four and I think they must be the really obvious ones.

1. The eagle on the left with the green "I"
2. The green clover-looking plants on the right bottom corner
3. The milk and chocolate one. Which I think everyone else got!
4. The row of cars left to the dragon. Which is not "Cars"!

1. It's a two word pun and you've got one word.

2. yes that's clover, and what's it in?

3. these are two different ones.

4. the fact that there's a lot of cars is important.

1. The eagle on the left with the green "I"

Think homonym

2. The green clover-looking plants on the right bottom corner

You're on the right track. This movie came out recently.

3. The milk and chocolate one. Which I think everyone else got!

These are two different movies.

4. The row of cars left to the dragon. Which is not "Cars"!

What's a lot of cars all together?

Hahaha. Oh, DUH.

I still have three left over and the score board says I got 48/50! Weirdness.

eta: OK, got the clover one. Still scratching my head about the other two despite the clues.

eta2: done! Got the eagle. The game let me finish despite the pack that I didn't get the row of the cars clue! Huh.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Criminy! I haven't tried my hand at that seemingly impossible game. Um, anyone mind if I talk about a movie now?

I just saw Highlander. It was...totally eighties. And Christopher Lambert's silly made-up accent was annoying. And the villain was ridiculously over-the-top. And the mythology was poorly explained and didn't make a lot of sense. It was not that great a movie and didn't really stand out among all the other cheesy eighties fantasy movies.

So why the hell is it so popular? With like fifty sequels and a television series and all that? Also, how can there be a sequel after that? THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE. There is one. THE END. I guess more Immortals can arise after someone gets The Prize? Also, until I saw the movie, I thought the Immortals were called Highlanders.

(I will admit, the idea of having swordfights in New York WAS cool and effectively strange.)
