When Avitable says “JUMP”, you say “How High?”

Posted by Chris on 24 June, 2008

Just when you were sure that there was nothing new under the sun or in the People’s Republic of Blogistan, Avitable up and creates a new meme for us all to enjoy.  Using the Entertainment Weekly list of the top 100 movies from the last 25 years you are commanded to:

  • Bold the movie if you’ve seen it
  • Put asterisks next to the movies you’ve seen and liked (this is where I change the rules a bit, if it’s bolded I saw it and enjoyed it, if it’s bolded and crossed out I saw it and hated it.)

I’ve seen 57 of the top 100 movies and only enjoyed 37 of the 57, there’s something to be learned from that, what that is I’m just not sure.

    You didn’t like Moonstruck? I need to punch some demerits into your gay card, please.

  2. sizzlesays said

    Hold up! You hated When Harry Met Sally, Waiting for Guffman AND Moonstruck?

    I am not sure we can be friends afterall…

    At least you saw and liked Ghostbusters. Phew!

  3. Chris said

    Howard ~ if that’s the only demerit on my gay card I’m doing good
    Sizzle ~ but I loved Best in Show, does that help?

  4. What does it say about me that I’ve only seen 20 of those movies! And why isn’t Star Wars anywhere on that list? :P

  5. Oh, nevermind. I’m dating myself. Star Wars was um….31 years ago :P

  6. avitable said

    The fact that you hated some of those movies confounds me.

  7. Mike said

    While it doesn’t say “hated” just “didn’t enjoy” i’m still a bit surprised, but I will get over it. I went ahead and stole this from you, thanks for giving me something to do that made me slightly depressed at how many movies I watch!

  8. Chris said

    Steve ~ it says that you have other priorities. And if Star Wars was on the list it would be crossed out with extreme prejudice.
    Avitable ~ sorry to be such a confounder
    Mike ~ glad to give you something to write about

  9. Greg said

    You didn’t see Brokeback Mountain?

  10. Chris said

    Greg ~ nope the bf watched it and hated it, I didn’t even bother
