So my dad gave me a big-ass box set of 100 Oscar-winning films (mainly from the 30s through the 60s, so I can start filling in those embarrassing holes in my film-viewing CV). Which is awesome. But he also lives in China, so the box that contains these films has written upon it the following things:
"CENTURY OSCAR
GLORY TREASURE UP!
Handed Down Collectables Easy Vanish!
Special gift to you:
100,000 words writing with full color & Oscar best movie posters for collecting.
Have all Oscar literature at internet .
Have 100 classical movies which are seen as everlasting at the movie world.
Worthly collected movie series for century.
Elegant packing and a rare memento.
It was about one century after movie was birth, and Oscar is one of the most famous encouragements at movie world, which is with wide influence and high fame. Hence, Oscar has become the top target for the movie artists, and thousands of audiences also love the Oscar movies.
Now,100 classical movies are packed at one series, which are worth of collecting.
With it, our family culture would be improved at another high level.
This is what you seen "century Oscar".
This is a best gift to the movie artist and all of you.
This is a gift to you who are eager to enjoy your life, or are chasing the life's essence, or have tasted the sweet or tearful life.
Missing this opportunity to collecting, you may have to wait for next century."
I'm glad it's only *a* best gift. If it were *the* best gift it would cut out all the other superlatives out there.

| 24 Hour Birthday Bash-A-Thon fake lineup |
[Feb. 22nd, 2008|12:46 pm] |
So I've finalised the lineup of movies - we're gonna be running on a bit of a tight ship to get everything played. What follows is not the actual lineup, but a list of films that may in some way relate to what IS playing (in my mind). They might be in order. And remember, with some of these I could just be toying with you...
1. Scarface (1983)
2. Pane e cioccolata (1973)
3. In The Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale (2008)
4. Hostel: Part II (2007)
5. The Witches of Eastwick (1987)
6. Necronomicon (1993)
7. Ice Cream Man (1995)
8. Altered States (1980)
9. Last Man Standing (1996)
10. Mamma Mia! (2008)
11. Little Shop of Horrors (1986)
12. Major Payne (1995)
13. Schindler's List (1993)
At any rate, you'll see cheesy monsters, over-the-top villains, ridiculous dance numbers, some serious gory bits, and lots of gratuitous nudity. Plus, at least one of the films is in the IMDB top 100, so it's not all grindhouse crap. |
