... sweet Jesus... not in the history of meme's has one soul been as bruised as I have.. Blackfive, Mistress Cheese, and the lovely Liv have ALL tagged me with the same game.. I never knew my DVD collection held so much interest... and to think, all this time I've been blogging about drinking and watching the wildlife.. man, did I sure miss the boat.. I must say, though... I am quite honored to be the subject of your voyeuristic interests.. you guys sure know how to make a man feel special.. so, being that I'm called out, I shall fess up...

1) Total number of films I own on DVD/video:
.. 1/2 of a 6'X 9' bookshelf.. my living room is full of bookshelves... if I had to hazard a guess, I'd say around 150 are in there... lots of war movies.. a few Monty Python flicks... and, yes.. even the occasional Eddie Izzard DVD.. hey, my Wife loves the guy... of course, all the porn DVDs are locked in the closet of the blogroom.. prying eyes, you know... one can never be too careful these days..

2) The last film I bought:
.. a DVD of every ABBA video ever made.. along with a gratuitous "documentary" on side B.. stop laughing, it wasn't for me.. I was informed last week that the CD player in the Caddy also plays DVDs.. so if you find yourself being passed on I-75 by a platinum colored Cadillac going mach 2... and then you're bombarded with "Dancing Queen" as the sonic boom hits?.. wave, and say "hi"... that was the wee Wifey out on the town....

(3) The last film I watched:
... "The Usual Suspects"... that movie rocks.. every time I watch it, I see more details... a modern classic, in my humble opinion.. fat with goodness, people.. I mean, like Orca fat...

4) Five films that I watch a lot or that mean a lot to me (in no particular order):
... Lonesome Dove... one of the 10 best Western films ever made.. and I am constantly reminded of Augustus every day... "after all, life in San Francisco is still just life".. he is the man..

... Jeremiah Johnson... one of the first movies I ever watched with my Father... other than those cheesy screamers on Shock Theatre... I've got an original movie poster from this film framed and hanging on my living room wall.. you know, dramatic renewal of purpose, and all that...

... Evolution.. the "Play that funky music whiteboy" scene... absolute perfection.. plus, I'd like to think it really could happen... not the "whiteboy" scene.. the evolution deal...

... 1941... John Belushi in a P40 Warhawk over the Grand Canyon?... genius..

... The Princess Bride... I have never tired of this movie... sure, I know a lot of people have already chosen this movie.. but I have to agree.. one of my all-time favorites...

5) Tag 5 people and have them put this in their journal/blog:
.. nay, gentlepeople... I dare not tag... after you guys just dogpiled on little me, I fear of doing the same... so, if anyone would like to let us peek into their home, psyche, and warped sense-of-self.. please volunteer in the comments...
