They have not invented the appropriate grade to which Funny Games deserves. I'm pretty certain that it is a better movie than the ones below it, though, and not as good as the ones above it.

I will invent the appropriate grade for your opinion of Funny Games.

Watch for it.

Still not including Diary of the Dead, since it was still released before 2008.

I still want to see: Hellboy 2, Rambo, Kung Fu Panda and Speed Racer. Curious, mainly.

[ie]

I thought I had seen the least amount of movies this year. But we've both heard more 2008 music than any of these other slackers.

Also, threw in my snobby curveball of the year, since as movie buffs, we can never just leave well enough alone.

How many 08 albums have you heard, then? I'm at 211 albums, with maybe 10 EPs, whereas Andrew Weenie is only at around 100.

[drone]

I may not be up to 211 just yet, but I'm hovering around 115.

This conversation shall be moved here, to avoid confusion. Actual confusion. Yes, I had it.
