    Blazing Saddles was one of my biggest movie disappointments. I finally saw it around 5 years ago, and after having heard so much, and even having as much respect for everyone in it as I do, only one thing in it actually struck me as funny ("someone's gonna have to go back and get a shitload of dimes"). I do admire its head-on approach to racism, though.

    Let's Scare Jessica to Death is the first horror movie I watched (without my parents knowing) when I was very young. It was on television late one night. I could never remember what the movie was until about 15 years ago it was playing on HBO or maybe FEARnet. I hope it moves on and if you haven't watched it, you should. I think Friday the 13th borrowed a scene from this film.
    Wanted: Human skin edition of The Book of the Dead. Will accept PC copy.

    It taught me deep lessons, such as I'm only pawn in game of life. And that we must eventually come to accept the Irish.
    Alright, we'll call it a draw.

    I'm disappointed at the votes for The Eiger Sanction. I thought it one of Clint Eastwood's best works.
    All that's left of what we were is what we have become.

    At least it's not in danger of elimination.
