"literally any of the other choices would have been better"

That's a sad, empty critique. I'm a woman and I felt this was one of the most raw, honest, emotional films I've ever seen. Do you really think one needs a penis to relate to the experience of Andy Dufresne?

Back in 1990, after Italy fell to Argentina, a friend and I thought it would be hysterical if we bought an Argentinian flag and duct taped it to the door of another friend's house. Our friend's parents were Italian immigrants and really, it was her father we were ribbing (he was a pretty cool guy).

In spite of my snobbery about things with commercials, I cannot tell a lie: I do the same with Sex and the City. Own the pink box and have zero reason to want to watch an edited, commercial-filled episode. But I see there's a marathon on E! and I just... get... sucked... in.

Everything is often so obvious in retrospect (and tastes change of course); but even at the time, I was flummoxed at how it was passed over at the Oscars for the celluloid rubbish of Forrest Gump. Twenty years later, I'm still at a loss.

I think she goes for the (deservedly) low-hanging fruit that seem to have garnered undue affection in public memory. Didn't she also gut Love, Actually? And that film is the worst.

I was just going to say, thanks for making me cry!

We're really heading to this, aren't we?

He wasn't nearly enough to salvage Along Came a Spider but point taken.

People voluntarily watch movies with commercials? I don't.

"Is it really BETTER THAN PULP FICTION?"

People outside of mass transit trains don't seem to understand this. If you ever live in London, know that the world will hate you if you don't follow this rule.

Man. When something's too weird for Michael Jackson...

Back when the season debuted, I checked out the "Bachelor Profiles" specifically to see what questions and answers the network chose to highlight in light of his untimely death. Maybe it's my black sense of humor, but I kind of can't believe they didn't eighty-six the one about his favorite movies.

I'm somewhat surprised the engineer rode down with sunglasses on - it seems likely that any loose (unfastened) accessories on a person would be at high risk for flying off (as his hat does) and beaning someone in back.

Don't forget his poor fluffer *vomits*.
