List-squad!

ok, this here is a game that i just thought up, not too dissimilar from the "versus" game nikki introduced. rules: it's all about lists. i'll do a list of my top whatevers --if it's a broad category, like "movies" or "bands", then it must be a top ten, if it's something more specific, like "movies with villians named frank", then it can be 10 or 5, whatever you can muster-- the person who follows me must do a list of the same category as mine, and then a list of their own choosing, and so forth.

so to start things off, here are my top ten favorite movies by akira kurosawa:

1. sanjuro
2. ran
3. red beard
4. the seven samurai
5. stray dog
6. ikiru
7. i live in fear
8. high and low
9. rashomon
10. dreams

so now whoever goes next has to do a top 10 (or five; i'm not sure how specific a kurosawa list is, since this is a movie forum i'd hope most of you have seen over ten, but am not sure, so five is sufficient) and a list of their own construction on a different category.

They had temporarily escaped the factories, the warehouses, the slaughterhouses, the car washes - they'd be back in captivity the next day but now they were out - they were wild with freedom. They weren't thinking about the slavery of poverty. Or the slavery of welfare and food stamps. The rest of us would be all right until the poor learned how to make atom bombs in their basements.

For the record, I don't watch wrestling anymore, but I mean, let's be honest here... the 80's was the Golden Age of the entertainment sport, and it was its most hilarious one as well. I recommend watching some of these old school clips on YouTube... it really shows you both just how popular and funny the sport was.
