Movies (without Popcorn)

Just a quick note: If you want to watch a lot of movies in one sitting, fly over the Atlantic in an Airbus A330. On Michal and my flight to South Africa we were booked on two 747s, the first from Chicago to Amsterdam and the next from Amsterdam to Johannesburg. On the way home, though, we were put on an Airbus, a much newer plane with video screens built in to the back of the headrests. We had remote controls built in to our arm rest with which we could select movies, music and games to entertain ourselves. I must admit, I watched four movies on that flight. Granted, it was a 10+ hour flight, but still, that's a lot of movies. The Illusionist was good (actually, I really enjoyed it), Invincible was fun, Little Miss Sunshine was funny in that sick kind of timid "ha, ha" way, and Wicker Man was stupid with good acting. Anyway, I'm home now and unlike Peter and Nate, I think I have met my movie quota for a while.

I am quite sure that I met my movie quota a long long time ago... I'm just doing the common good a favor and helping them all on their movie quota's.

Thanks Nate, I'm with you, shouldn't Hollywood give out awards to people like us?
