Rodent Repeats... A Top 50 List

[The Rodent]

Doing my Top Movies reshuffle early this year...


I've basically gone over my favourite movies again, and have discovered something.
The "Repeat" of the title is because I tend to repeat the same movies over and over in my lists, just in a different order... and... some people have music, others have their TV, but well, personally, I switch the player on and stick in a DVD which I don't mind if it repeats itself over and over as generic background noise.


A lot of the time I'll have the film on once, then flick it to the Commentary Track and play again. If there's more than one Commentary, I've been known to go through the lot.


So, this list of movies I've repeated in my past favourites lists is also a list of movies I use as a default background noise when I'm MoFo-ing and surfing the interweb.


Oh, and... a new(ish) Top 10 will be coming up as well :D

[The Rodent]

I forgot to say as well, there's a handful of new movies this year. Not many, but it's at least something different :D

[The Rodent]

Might as well get the first couple out the way... remember, Generic Background Noise, DVD player set on repeat :D


50 - Warrior


https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/e3/Warrior_Poster.jpg


49 - No Country For Old Men


https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/8b/No_Country_for_Old_Men_poster.jpg

[Miss Vicky]

I've been meaning to watch Warrior. Hated No Country.

[The Rodent]

Warrior is a solid movie tbh.
I reviewed it a while back.

[The Rodent]

48 - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)


https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/8d/Teenage_Mutant_Ninja_Turtles_%281990_film%29_poster.jpg



47 - Independence Day


https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/bb/Independence_day_movieposter.jpg

[Miss Vicky]

I've never been a fan of anything TMNT and I don't think I've seen the movie. I vaguely remember liking ID4 but haven't seen it in about 20 years.

[The Rodent]

Gonna chuck 4 at once in this one seeing as they are what they are...
And, yes... I have actually sat and repeated #45-43, then repeated them again with the various Commentary Tracks :laugh:


46 - Lawless


https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a0/Lawless_film_poster.jpg


45 - The Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King Extended Cut


https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/9d/Lord_of_the_Rings_-_The_Return_of_the_King.jpg


44 - The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring Extended Cut

43 - The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers Extended Cut


https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/ad/Lord_of_the_Rings_-_The_Two_Towers.jpg

[Dexter007]

I've never been a fan of anything TMNT and I don't think I've seen the movie. I vaguely remember liking ID4 but haven't seen it in about 20 years.

Here's the gist of it: Close Encounters with 100% more explosions. And Jeff Goldblum.

[The Rodent]

42 - Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a2/Star_Wars_The_Force_Awakens_Theatrical_Poster.jpg


41 - Blade Runner


https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/53/Blade_Runner_poster.jpg

[The Gunslinger45]

That is some classy background noise at #49. #41 I love the soundtrack. But I could never have it as just background noise.

[The Rodent]

I figured that would get some likes :D
I've done 50-41 now, so taking a break for a bit.

[Miss Vicky]

I tried watching Lawless but ended up shutting if off (Shia Labeouf :rolleyes:). I hate all things LOTR and Star Wars (though I've not seen TFA, I'm just assuming I'll hate it). Haven't seen Blade Runner.

[The Rodent]

So that's a solid 6 movies in one block for Miss Vicky then :D

[The Rodent]

40 - Predator 2


https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/b5/Predator_two.jpg



39 - Who Framed Roger Rabbit


https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/32/Movie_poster_who_framed_roger_rabbit.jpg

[The Gunslinger45]

Predator 2 and WFRR! Now we are talking!

[The Rodent]

38 - Starship Troopers


https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/df/Starship_Troopers_-_movie_poster.jpg



37 - The Goonies


https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c6/The_Goonies.jpg

Don't you guys ever get bored talking about the same movies over and over again, everyday for years and years? What good does it do? Stop the insanity.

[The Rodent]

36 - Total Recall (1990)


https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/f9/Total_recall.jpg



35 - Ghostbusters 2

No.

[Dexter007]

Really? Ghostbusters 2? Alrighty then.

[Dexter007]

No.

Rodent speaks the truth on this one.

[The Gunslinger45]

I like Ghostbusters 2

[Camo]

Damn this has moved fast. I like Warrior, LOTR (Return>Fellowship>TT for me though) Force Awakens, Predator 2 and Roger Rabbit to varying degrees. Don't like No Country or Blade Runner. I've seen TMNT but don't remember it at all and i'm not sure what i think of Independence Day. Haven't seen Lawless.

[The Rodent]

34 - The Terminator


https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/70/Terminator1984movieposter.jpg


33 - Terminator 2: Judgment Day


https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/85/Terminator2poster.jpg

[Sexy Celebrity]

Doesn't it get to be really redundant acting like Ghostbusters 2 is the center of your universe? This is a movie that - if you're a fan of it - you should watch it maybe once or twice every five years. It is not something you need to speak of every week.

[The Rodent]

Really? Ghostbusters 2? Alrighty then.



Well, after the remake was spewed out, which I have yet to see btw, I found myself a new respect for GB2.
I always sort of liked it, but now it's a firm favourite.


The remake was good for something I guess... bringing the originals a new lease of life :laugh:

[Camo]

Don't you guys ever get bored talking about the same movies over and over again, everyday for years and years? What good does it do? Stop the insanity.

I talk about new movies all the time here.

I like Ghostbuster 2; one big internet shock to me was finding out alot of people like the first and hate the second, always liked it. Not really a fan of Total Recall.

If you have a problem, don't read it. Go to a different thread.

[Camo]

Like both Terminators, 1>2 for me i think. Every time i post you've updated :laugh:

[The Gunslinger45]

I love the Terminator movies. And T2 is the best.

[The Rodent]

32 - Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes

So, that's it for a bit now :D 20 down, 30 to go.

[Sexy Celebrity]

I'm sorry, but as a 15 year member here, it's starting to bother me how much people just talk about the same movies all the time. Terminator doesn't need to be given high praise every day. That's way too much Terminator on the brain.

[Camo]

Seen neither, my mum actually likes one or both of them which surprised me. That was fast haha.

Well, at least the other members of this movie forum actually have favourites lists...


Rather than trolling my list, SC, go make your own.

[The Rodent]

They're pretty decent movies bud, you gotta give them a chance.
I was dubious about them as well tbh, but I love them.
Looking forward to part 3.

Oh. Is this your running gag for now? Say that everything is overrated and talked about too often? Hilarious. I'm busting a gut over here.

:joaquin:

[Steve Freeling]

Don't like No Country or Blade Runner.

I blind bought Lawless on DVD ages ago.
The reason was it had Tom Hardy in it, and was 18 rated, which is unheard of these days.
Glad I bought it. Solid movie, and shocking when you realise it's a true story.

[Camo]

I just posted Welcome To The Dollhouse recently which you like i believe SC, we should try to turn that into the new hot movie here that people can't stop talking about.

[Dexter007]

Sorry SC. On this thread, you're a legend in your own mind.

[Dani8]

Starship Troopers. So much hilarious fun. I told my martial arts teach to watch. Totally feared in competition back in his day and had a front kick that would make chuck Norris cry. After seeing it he told me I was too violent.




lolol.

Well that was a... break i guess :D. Jurassic Park is alot of fun, still not seen World. In these franchise pairings are you putting the one you prefer higher or is it just any order?

[Dexter007]

Both good movies. Your picks are pretty great thus far Rodent.

[The Rodent]

Yeah the franchise ones are in preference order :)

[The Rodent]

Both good movies. Your picks are pretty great thus far Rodent.
Thanks, man :)
You'll like these I hope...


28 - Invasion Of The Body Snatchers (1978)

27 - Ghostbusters


https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/2f/Ghostbusters_%281984%29_theatrical_poster.png

[Dexter007]

Nope. I don't like them.

I love them. Body Snatchers is the scariest movie I've ever seen, and Ghostbusters is just magnificent.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Why do you like Ghostbusters so much?

[Dexter007]

Why do you like Ghostbusters so much?

What's your problem tonight?

[The Rodent]

26 - Real Steel

25 - Kung Fu Hustle


https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/00/KungFuHustleHKposter.jpg

[Camo]

Obviously i like Ghostbusters. I actually don't like the 70's Snatchers much, i love the ending and there's some other good parts but the rest doesn't really do anything for me. Love the 50's one though.

[The Rodent]

24 - The Martian


https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/cd/The_Martian_film_poster.jpg


23 - The Hateful Eight


https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/d4/The_Hateful_Eight.jpg

[Camo]

Haven't seen Real Steel. Kung Fu Hustle was one of the first 18 rated films i saw at the cinema (i'd have been 11) but i don't actually remember the film much.

Edit: I'm going to wait til your next break to comment again haha.

[The Rodent]

22 - The Abyss


https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/ad/TheAbyss.jpg


21 - The Lost Boys


https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/b6/Lost_boys.jpg


Right, that's defo it for a while now... I wanted to get to the top 20 asap and then leave it for a while :laugh:

[Sexy Celebrity]

You're almost done. Finish it.

Tomorrow, you can do it all over again.

[Camo]

Love Hateful Eight, it's actually top five Tarantino for me. The Lost Boys was a very important part of my childhood and i also liked The Martian; was surprised at how funny it is. Not seen The Abyss.

[Dexter007]

Haven't seen The Lost Boys, but I absolutely love the other three.

Man. The Hateful Eight is just so damn good.

[The Rodent]

Kung Fu Hustle is a new entry to any of my lists tbh... I think Hateful Eight is as well, although it might have shown on my list last year, can't remember.

[Dexter007]

You're almost done. Finish it.

Tomorrow, you can do it all over again.

So, you've decided to just be a troll.

Not everybody is here to make themselves laugh SC.

Oh man, you gotta get a copy of Lost Boys.
It rewrote the Vampire rulebook and is responsible for the lore of every Vampire story since.

[The Rodent]

What are you watching right now?



Your Mom.

[Dexter007]

Well, then what are you here for? Human contact?

Talking on the internet about movies is something I enjoy doing. At least I don't need to make fun of other people on this site just to make myself feel better.

[Iroquois]

Don't you guys ever get bored talking about the same movies over and over again, everyday for years and years? What good does it do? Stop the insanity.

I'm inclined to agree with this. If all you're doing is reshuffling the order of the exact same movies as were on your last countdown (or the one before it) with maybe a couple of new entries (and not even saying anything new about them except a blanket statement that these are all "background noise" movies for you), then it does beg the question as to why the list even needs to be made. Are the differences between this list and your last one really so significant that a whole new thread needs to happen?

It does get to the question of why we do these Top # lists in the first place. They serve as personal statements about our cinematic preferences, so the big question becomes what you're saying with this new countdown that you didn't say in any of your other ones. With nothing new to say from either you or the people who comment on it, what's the point?

Well, at least the other members of this movie forum actually have favourites lists...


Rather than trolling my list, SC, go make your own.

If JayDee's list index is any indication, he's done at least three of them so far (though one of them seems to be a #101-#200 following on from one of the other lists so it's more like two). That being said, he still knows to space them out or not repeat them unless there's a big enough difference to justify it.

[Sexy Celebrity]

This isn't me making fun of anybody. I'm being serious.

[The Rodent]

Ignore him, Dexter... it's just SC being SC and harking for attention.
I've decided to make a list, and SC hasn't seen enough movies to be able to make one himself so he hacks on everyone else's.

[Sexy Celebrity]

See. I knew Iroquois and I were gonna start agreeing on things.

No - I'm really here to enjoy your list. It's just... it makes me think of these questions.

If you don't like it, stay out... simple.
I don't go into any of your threads :p

[Iroquois]

I went eight years between making my Top 100 lists. It wasn't my intention to go that long (it was originally going to be five years), but the reason why I wanted to leave such a gap is that I wanted to reflect how much things had changed between lists - half the second list was made of new entries, after all.

[Dexter007]

Here's why something like this thread isn't pointless; I haven't read any of these threads before. Until tonight. It served a purpose.

All of the favourite movie threads are kept in this thread by the way - http://www.movieforums.com/community/showthread.php?t=31343

[Dexter007]

Ultimately, we're just arguing about something that doesn't really matter that much. I don't have a problem with thinking that you can over do lists. I have a problem with the manner in which SC was acting like a jerk by questioning every movie Rodent posted instead of stating his opinion in a more civilized way.

[Dani8]

Here's why something like this thread isn't pointless; I haven't read any of these threads before. Until tonight. It served a purpose.

I haven't read any either before now. I enjoyed seeing the movie posters for one. 2.It was a trip down memory lane for movies. I don't see what the big deal is. *shrug*. One person in here complaining I've never even seen discuss movies before.

Good thread.

[Sexy Celebrity]

It's not just Rodent and this list. I really do wonder a lot... marvel at... the fact that people talk about the same movies over and over and over again. I'm not saying I'm not guilty of this, either. Heck, one can wonder why I constantly do the Young Guns jokes to Rodent. Why does that seem like such a fun thing to do?

[Dexter007]

Where's Yoda when you need him?

[Iroquois]

In Rodent's signature, he has a link to his last Top Movies list, which he started at the end of June last year - it's only about eight months old. The issue isn't so much the movies themselves so much as the fact that they're effectively the same ones from that last list.

[Camo]

Why is Yoda needed? This thread is extremely tame.

I don't care that they're the same movies and that he's doing this. It's just... I see this over and over again... people discussing and bringing up THE SAME MOVIES. Not saying it's supposed to be a bad thing. I am just questioning it and bringing the issue up.

[Camo]

We should demand his input in every thread. I've been itching to know his thoughts on the "What time is it now?" thread.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Rodent should thank me. I'm making his thread more interesting, like I do with everything I touch. Now we've got Iroquois in here, heating up the discussion.

[Dani8]

I just would like to hear his opinion on it.

He's pretty busy, I think.

I will give you my opinion

Your loss.

This attitude is exactly why I don't go into your threads.


Ok, the stuff you do is totally different to the stuff I do... but your sense of self-importance and determination to be different, then ragging on everyone else's choices and preferences, comes across as a die hard mentality of being different for the sake of it... and that your opinion on the obscure carries more weight because it's abn opinion on the obscure.


You remind me of people who like obscure bands, then completely go off them when you find out someone you know also likes their songs :rolleyes:

[Dexter007]

I don't care that they're the same movies and that he's doing this. It's just... I see this over and over again... people discussing and bringing up THE SAME MOVIES. Not saying it's supposed to be a bad thing. I am just questioning it and bringing the issue up.

You know how many times people talk about Pulp Fiction? It's insane. I hear about that movie everyday. I love that film, but it drives me crazy.

But guess what? Sometimes, people want to talk about the same movies. If you want to talk about something different, which is perfectly fine and a good idea, just do that.

[Steve Freeling]

Where's Yoda when you need him?
He's out there just waiting for us to screw up at any given moment.

Honest question: Does SC do anything on this site aside from starting joke threads and, well, jokes?
I didn't come in here to talk about me. You're the one fascinated by me.

Yes. He won the Best Reviewer Countdown and is consistently rated in the top five members for a reason. Trying not to suck up but i think everyone starts off with the wrong (although sometimes right) impression of him.

Dammit, now I want to go to the shop and get some nuts.
Dry Roasted are my faves.

Fair point. I love smart people that disagree with me.

[Sexy Celebrity]

No, I was the Runner Up for the Reviewer Countdown. JayDee won. I think that's what I remember happening, at least. I have always been in the Top 4 for Top MoFos Countdown. I do not claim I deserve that much respect, though. I do like it.

[The Rodent]

Right, on with the show.


20 - Moon

I live in California.

Yeah you're right - http://www.movieforums.com/community/showthread.php?p=1474338#post1474338

Close enough.

[Sexy Celebrity]

The last thing I want is for Rodent to be mad at me. So, Rodent... don't be mad at me.

[Dexter007]

Have seen neither Moon or The Grey. Both seem depressing.

[Camo]

Moon is great, watched it late last year and liked it alot. Rockwell is excellent. Haven't seen The Grey.

This'll probably be the quickest list done here if you finish tonight.

[The Rodent]

They are tbh... but I like dark and dismal movies :D
Moon is pretty funny at times though.


18 - Dredd

Oh boy.

Wasn't a fan of Dog Soldiers, haven't seen the other.

I repped that before noticing it was a dig at Iro :laugh:

[Dani8]

The Moon was amazing. I didn't like the Grey so much. don't get me started on vigilant animals...or Liam Neeson these days. That movie was like The Shallows, but with a big irish guy that didn't have an ass cam. Pretty scenery, though.

[Steve Freeling]

Greetings. We're currently drowning in rain right now.

I have a feeling that Dexter007 will be Top 10 or close to it on the next Top MoFos Countdown.

The last 3 means there's only 3 left before the top 10, so doing these 3 together as well :)

Young Guns better be on this list......

The Burbs and SE7EN are two of my favourite films, best on the list so far for me :up: Gremlins is alot of fun too.

[Dexter007]

Haven't seen The Burbs, but Gremlins and Se7en are awesome.

[Sexy Celebrity]

I haven't seen this Burbs movie, either.

You know, I've only just realised... the new Top 10 is ALL horror.

[Dexter007]

SE7EN is a delightful family romp.

I once showed it to a class of kindergarteners.

Their screams lull me to sleep every night.

[Sexy Celebrity]

It's a Morgan Freeman movie with Kevin Spacey as the killer. How is that supposed to be scary?

[Dexter007]

I have a feeling that Dexter007 will be Top 10 or close to it on the next Top MoFos Countdown.

Insult, right? Or a clever use of bbusername?

Nope or it would say Camo when i quoted that. Plus that would make no sense since i was already top ten :cool:

[The Rodent]

Like with Kung Fu Hustle, this one is totally new to my lists. Never shown up before... got it on DVD a few weeks back... Saw it when I was a kid, and had forgotten how damned good this movie actually is...

Can never really decide if i like Carrie or not, hate most De Palma films but i'm not sure about that. It's one of my mum's favourite films.

Whoa! Big man on campus over here.

I like that in a MoFo.

[Sexy Celebrity]

That kinda makes me want to rewatch it. I've always liked it.

[Camo]

What does my mum liking it? :laugh:

[The Rodent]

I think my new best friend Steve Freeling is gonna like this one... I've often fallen asleep to this while it's repeating and woken up in the morning with the music still ringing in my ears.


09 - Poltergeist (1982)


https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/43/Poltergeistposter.jpg

[Iroquois]

This attitude is exactly why I don't go into your threads.


Ok, the stuff you do is totally different to the stuff I do... but your sense of self-importance and determination to be different, then ragging on everyone else's choices and preferences, comes across as a die hard mentality of being different for the sake of it... and that your opinion on the obscure carries more weight because it's abn opinion on the obscure.


You remind me of people who like obscure bands, then completely go off them when you find out someone you know also likes their songs :rolleyes:

Whereas this attitude is exactly why it's so easy to criticise this thread. As has been noted, the issue isn't the exact films you've chosen so much as the fact that you've started a whole new thread to mention the same films from your last thread. It's like a sequel that copies the plot of the original word-for-word only to add in a couple of new scenes and put the rest into a different order. It just comes across as a pointless exercise where the people who appreciate it the most seem to be the ones who never saw the original in the first place. For a dude who has griped about so many unnecessary Hollywood reboots, you don't seem to have that problem when it comes to redoing your own lists. You can also do better than using a weak ad hominem to defend yourself.

[Steve Freeling]

Martinez? What a coincidence!
Yep. I also spent a lot of my childhood in Augusta. Speaking of which, here's a funny (true) story about Augusta that Mom likes telling. Sorry to hijack your thread, Rodent, but here we go.
"Okay, so, back in '83 the KKK decided they were gonna try to march down Broad Street. Big mistake. I was pregnant with your sister at the time and this was on the TV. I said 'What?' When the black people got ready to do something about it, the white people said 'Nuh-uh. Don't worry about it. Let us handle this.' and took full cans of soda and hit the KKK in the heads with 'em. You could see blood flying. I was like 'Ooh!' Snatched their hoods off their heads too. They said 'That's right. Let us see your faces, ya cowards! You're not one of us. You're not one of us, ya cowards!' And the KKK ain't never came back to Augusta after that."
So, there you go. That's the story and how she tells it.

[The Rodent]

You still here, Iro?


For a guy who hates this thread so much, you're spending an awful lot of time in it.

[Sexy Celebrity]

These are just movies he watches over and over again. It's different from a regular Top 50/Top 100. He's cataloging the films differently.

Wow. That just made my night. Lovely story.

The coincidence, by the way, is that I live in a suburb in California called Martinez. Almost hard to believe, right?

Poltergeist is one of my favourite films, so is Poltergeist II actually.
I've always preferred 2 and 3 over the original movie. Though, I could use a rewatch of the original movie.

I've got a copy of the 20th Anniversary Edition just waiting to be watched. It's been a while since I rewatched it.

[Sexy Celebrity]

I really enjoyed that commentary of RoboCop I had with Rodent. It was the first time I had seen it since I was a young kid.

[Dexter007]

Indeed. By the way, do you like Poltergeist. I'm sensing a theme...;)

Five (now six) posts is "an awful lot"? Tell it to the Ghostbusters 3 (http://www.movieforums.com/community/showthread.php?t=20921) thread.

These are just movies he watches over and over again. It's different from a regular Top 50/Top 100. He's cataloging the films differently.

That is true. Still seems like a flimsy point of distinction, though.

Hell, it's my all-time favorite movie since childhood.

I've also fallen asleep to this one. I once also fell asleep while Vivian Kubrick is giving her commentary on the Making-Of feature as well :laugh:

To me, The Fly and RoboCop are the same movie.

They're actually both movies I was weirdly fascinated by as a young kid, but never watched and really appreciated again until just a few years ago.

I think it's Macready drinking whiskey in the film that did it.

I have only seen The Thing once. I remember thinking it was okay - weird - but I haven't had a desire to return to it. It kinda annoys me hearing about it so much here.

I think next year, I'll repost this entire list, in the same order, and tag Iro in every post :D

The Dark Half is a good one Romero did outside of those. One of the best Stephen King adaptations too, and I say that as a big fan of the book.

Also, I have no life. So, there's that.

This is like realising that the protagonist and antagonist of Unforgiven have the same first name.

Yeah... for the next 8 months, then I'll reshuffle the top 10 and repost in a new thread.

Thanks everyone!

Not as mainstream as putting out at least three different favourites lists. You're, what, the fifth person to do that this month?

[Dexter007]

Expert use of movie trivia! Was just thinking about that last night.

[The Rodent]

Iro, just so you know... being die-hard non-mainstream is very mainstream.


*listening out carefully for the pop of Iro's head*

[Iroquois]

I mean, I put up with people asking "where's the new list" for years, but nobody does that anymore because list inflation has devalued them. I still don't play on doing another one for about four-and-a-half years. By then, Rodent will have done at least eight.

[Iroquois]

Iro, just so you know... being die-hard non-mainstream is very mainstream.


*listening out carefully for the pop of Iro's head*

Sure, and Republicans are the new punks.

[Dexter007]

Gentlemen, might I suggest an acknowledgment of both of you being intelligent members of this site?

[The Rodent]

What's funnier about all this is me mentioning earlier about Iro still hanging about in a thread he doesn't like, and him defending himself against me saying that... 11/12 of his posts since he last logged into MoFo have been in this thread :laugh:


*pop*

[Sexy Celebrity]

None of this would have happened if I hadn't shown up.

That quote should go on my grave.

[Dexter007]

Ok. You two have fun now. Any semblance of being civilized is probably being thrown out the window right now.

[Dexter007]

Has the whole world gone crazy?!

Am I the only one here that gives a crap about truces and agreements!?

[The Rodent]

I'm just messing about :D
Not sure if Iro is or not, but I'm having fun :D


I've done the list though, so I'm happy enough.
New top 10 added to profile, looks kinda cool tbh.

[Dexter007]

The one thing I just can't stand is MoFo's fighting other MoFo's.
