Yup, that’s right. It’s time for another list! You guys asked for one… oh wait you didn’t?

The Top 10 B-Movies of All Time

(Now before I begin this one let me explain why I enjoy b-movies, not all of them are “bad” and not all of them are “bad without knowing.” A lot of the time, these movies show true effort within a given budget. Sometimes it’s the process of working within that budget that creates the “bad” in the movie.

YouTube, text messaging and photos and video over mobile phones; sharing inane data on any subject to anyone anytime. Someone gave a page from a calendar with the caption: “Blogging – Never before have so many people with so little to say said so much to so few.” It shows a woman working on a laptop sitting on an incredible ledge over-looking what looks like Devil’s Tower in Wyoming  from Steven Spielberg’s  1977 movie, “Close Encounters of the Third Kind.” I love it. I hung it in my cubicle. Read the rest of this entry »
