About Chocolate Parfaits

Starting with a completely pointless, artsy picture: My poor old computer, now totally not in use anymore. With that said, welcome to my little heavenly paradise. Beware of the picture sizes (I’m afraid I was too lazy to do the re-sizing.)

I have recently realized that I am out of nicknames, or more like I wanted to mention somebody but couldn’t find a suitable number for him.

I looked through my e-mails and found the magnificent 10 to be (in no particular order):
- Pixelmatsch
- Shii
- Gorp
- 1208
- 6451
- 0.99835
- 1059
- Pip
- erutan
- Loris

By the way, I think 4.0 doesn’t know my birthday, and for what it’s worth, he probably doesn’t care.

PS. So I gave everybody numbers except for those who post here with their nicknames (except Loris which is also my ‘creation’), and most of them are things like street numbers, room numbers, and, well 6451 already found out what his number is.

PPS. The magnificent Ten should actually be Thirteen, but hey, those three didn’t bother about today!
EDIT: One of them was only too late. Hahaha. (But this is the first time it ever happened to him since… 10 years?)

My lists are somewhat updated, but to be honest, they have reached a size where I can’t really get a decent overview anymore. Next time, I should sort them according to length, or directors, or genre, or people that recommended them to me… or make it dynamic in the first place.

Speaking of people, I realized that the only “favorites” lists I have in my own watchlist are Gorp’s favorites of the years and 314’s all time favorites. If you don’t happen to have this problem that I have, which is having a really really hard time with making favorites lists, I absolutely want to include your lists here! (Then again, the first time Shii had to publish his first list, there were things like “Lord of the Rings” and “City of God”, and he thought “The Last Unicorn” and “Silence of the Lambs” are must watches. XXXD)

My own top 5 list at the beginning of my movie buff time included “Fight Club”, “JSA”, “Hoshi no Koe”, “Memento” and “To be or not to be”. Among those, only “To be or not to be” has survived. The other four spots are now probably taken by “Tampopo”, “Coffee & Cigarettes”, “Jules et Jim” and “M – Eine Stadt sucht einen Mörder”. I think they represent my movie tastes pretty well: An old American comedy, a modern American artsy Jarmusch, a Japanese comedy-drama, a stylish emotional Nouvelle Vague and a film from the Weimarer Republik. And oh my God they are all so brilliant?

(A top 5 is so difficult really… What about film noirs, all those Korean and Chinese movies I love, and the Italians, and my faible for Mexican films? Not to mention that most American movies I like are totally not like Jarmusch.)
