If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

I was wavering between two foreign language films for my next pick and La Dolce Vita was one of them. Hopefully the other one makes it to me."I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."

Oooh Ball of Fire! Great pick. As I mentioned earlier, I'm a big fan of Stanwyck."I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."

How many rounds did we decide on?“There’s no normal life, Wyatt, it’s just life. Get on with it.” – Doc Holliday
"It doesn't matter what you think" - The Rock
"I borked the entry." - Some dude on the Internet
Have I told you about otters being the only marine animal that can lift rocks?

On an unrelated note, how does Sunset Boulevard last until round 7?!
"All right, Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close up.""Igor, would you give me a hand with the bags?"
"Certainly. You take the blonde and I'll take the one in the turban!"

I was going to pick Sunset Blvd almost every round, but decided to forgo another film noir. One of my all time favorites.
Love the monkey burial scene.
I also wondered how the Third Man lasted so long."I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."
