5-star Movies (Abridged/PART 1)

This is a list of all the perfect 5-star movies I found in my rateyourmusic account.

I'm almost certain there's a few dozen if not more that I am missing per I never found myself going to those movie's pages and rating them.

But just for the Sake-of and the minimal work I did copying these onto this entry, I'll throw this up for now.

But I mean to in the near future include an updated/more accurate/more than 24 5-star movies.

Also for the record, these are what I consider my 2 favorite movies of all-time:

The Wizard of Oz
Ghost World

In the middle is a picture of an older male with brown hair wearing a white t-shirt, black zippered jacket, black coat, and white pants; running parallel to a train on a subway platform. Below in large white font is the line: "Harrison Ford". Below that in smaller white font reads the line: "is" with a larger white font next to it reading: "The Fugitive". The film credits appear underneath it in a small grey font, along with a line that reads: "August 6" in a larger white font.

Record Store Day 2019 Video

Sort of truncated in some ways, even though it's a 15-minute video.

we very well make a 2nd video, or at least I will, just talking about RSD and also maybe what we missed, strategy about getting items, dividing things up.

And yes, we had Open Houses to go to on Saturday and actually put another offer in (the 2nd in 2 weeks) but alas, we still didn't get it. We're starting to question if buying a house makes sense now.

Napoleon Dynamite: Animated TV Series












okay, I just was reminded of/came across this earlier today. I do remember reading or hearing something about it earlier this year. And other than the 1 new trailer at the top, those videos are not new since they were shown at Comic-Con and then shared by FOX.

It's going to air on Sunday evenings at 7:30 (Central) on FOX.

Some of the comments about it say it looks bad, or they should have made it live-action. I'm kind of at a wait-and-see, but I don't expect it to last of course since it's FOX.

My other thought, albeit rhetorical is where is my GHOST WORLD animated series?

Given the lack of many good shows on TV, this may actually stand out. And having the original cast, and the creator/writer of the original movie Jared Hess, this may actually work. I guess one question to ask is, why are the folks involved with the movie doing this? they obviously have not managed to carve out anything bigger in their careers really. Jon Heder has been in a number of movies, including that skating picture with Will Ferrell, but he still has not even come close to doing anything as good or successful as this. And the same can be said about Hess. Nacho Libre? lol.

Tina Majorino and of course someone like Jon Gries have done other things, Gries namely, but he was a support role here and in most other work he does.

But Efren Ramirez? the guy seemed primed to go on to do bigger things after his work in the movie, but maybe it's his time/interest as his credits seem like mostly small/independent cinema. Perhaps some of his work is quite good, just not something I or many others have been able to see.

And Aaron Ruell as well, although at least I can claim to have seen him in 1 other rather impressive role, in On the Road with Judas. But he hasn't been all that active in Hollywood since that movie in 2007.

Diedrich Bader, funny enough, who plays a small role in the movie, is guest starring on Psych tonight, lol. He's maybe best known for his work on Drew Carey anyway.

Vote for Pedro.

AMR,

After thinking about it, I'm going to cancel the meeting tomorrow. I wish you well, and won't be available for anything in the future.
