  I'm so pathetic. A co-worker and I have been listing movies that we should see. He likes to think of himself as a bit of a movie expert. The funny thing is that he's seen Killer Klowns From Outer Space, but never seen the Godfather. Of course, I also am in that boat. We both know about it. We've recognized the spoof in Mallrats, but never actually sat down to watch it.
  So I've been pitching movies to him because he thinks that to be a true movie expert then he needs to see all of these movies like The Treasure of Sierra Madre. Know that one? Try "Badges! We don't need no steenkin badges!" Did you know that the line "No ticket" from Dogma is from Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade? Or that the Muppet Rizzo is a reference to Midnight Cowboy? Or that J., the middle initial of all the male Simpsons, is a reference to Rocket J. Squirrel and Bullwinkle J. Moose?
  Well, his goal is to see these tons of films he's missed. Including the good ones like Jaws or the Seven samurai. (Ones I've missed as well.)
  It's become my inspiration to subscribe to Netflix. I signed up today and added movies to my rental list. Total number of movies? 80. And that's not including the series of films that I haven't seen like the Fistful Of Dollars. I'm so pathetic.
