A conversation with a cousin (several months ago) that really gets my taste in movies…usually:
CousinManlius: Ugh, I saw the Star Trek movie, you are going to HATE IT.
Me: …what?…
CousinManlius: …I don’t want to say anything else until you see it.
Me: isn’t Sylar in it? won’t I love that?
CousinManlius: that will get you through.
…
So, I watched it like 80 times one day while I was working and I thought it was fun and Spock more than got me through…double Spock! triple Spock!
“I was also disappointed…that it ended.”
I use the “YOU’RE A MONSTER” debate technique constantly.
I just sent my cousin an email after seeing this cartoon, asking, “Remind me, what am I going to hate about the Star Trek movie?”

chat from the future
CousinManlius: Hey! I have read the secret history
me: I figured you had, I didn't get that one for you. oh, is it the new year there? what is the future like?
CousinManlius: haha, not yet. in a little under eight hours
me: woohoo! I bet there will be flying cars, I'm hoping for teleportation bots in the new year, I don't want to fly ever again
CousinManlius: i'll keep you posted
me: =) does Seoul do something, like drop some balls or apples or boxes of spam? culturize me.
CousinManlius: ashamed to admit i don't really know. in fact, it was just this morning that i realized that today, and not tomorrow, is the 31st. I'm sure stuff goes on, but the lunar new year is when they really celebrate
me: ah, moon people, ok. well, be sure to look out a window in eight hours, you might see something
CousinManlius: haha, i'll try to do better than that
me: haha. Have you read your dad's review of MethLand in the Wapsipinicon?
CousinManlius: no!
me: I found it fantastically quote worthy, if I can't find a full almanac, I'll at least send a photocopy of the article.
CousinManlius: ok, perfect
me: did I tell you what I got myself for my birthday? a hint: I can do it. I'm totally doing it.
CousinManlius: LOST!!
me: haha, yep, all five seasons!!! Amazon had a sale day where each season was $15 each if you bought them all
CousinManlius: damn, i hope you bough a set for everyone in the family! have you seen any movies lately?
me: I didn't and not really. You?
CousinManlius: lately, i loved where the wild things are, the hurt locker was pretty good, herb and dorothy and an education were kinda disappointing
me: I really loved where the wild things are, I actually am hazy on all those other titles, I'm currently cinematically fasting- for my birthday video extravaganza-FamilyVideo, pick out 42 movies, then be there eight more hours when they ask me if I want to pick out 23 more titles for free!
CousinManlius: haha, well, family video would be a great place to spend a birthday. they have it all: food, drink, and friends. speaking of, i need to get something to eat and then figure out what i'm doing tonight
me: ok, take some pics, good talk! proud of you! I won't see you out there!
CousinManlius: haha, ok, thanks! you should do it, you could totally do it
me: please, I've already done it 16 times

How many famous men can you identify by their iconic hairstyles?
What cinematt01 didn’t mention, is that, this is a $20 T-shirt! I’m getting it for my Cousin beardy Q’s birthday. (if cinematt01 knew that second part, he needs to get out of my head.)
Flickchart.com ? also, I swear a lot, you've been warned
Me: how are things, did you have Spam with President Obama while he was visiting?
Q: I was going to invite him, but i'm kind of a busy man, you know. have you checked out flickchart?
me: I haven't signed up yet. is it like goodreads? I'd really like to find a movie site like that.
Q: i know, i've been keeping my eye out. it's not really like good reads. you just constantly rank movies against each other, and it builds your ultimate top 20 list
me: hmm, I'll check it out, but I'm more interested in keeping track of things that I've watched, like from now, forward, more than everything I've ever watched, does that make sense? also, you are on it, yes?
Q: yes, that makes sense. and yes, i'm on it. did you happen to catch last weeks this american life?
me: nope, the radio version? which one was it? I sometimes listen to them later on the computer
Q: starting from scratch. there was a story about a guy who was trying to make a puppy channel
me: I'm on flickchart- I just picked American Pie 2 over one of the Lord of the Ring movies, haha
Q: i'd do the same thing
me: now I have to pick between brokeback mountain and Armageddon, I mean come on!? it's like Sophie's Choice up in here.
Q: i know, sometimes i want to cry
me: ugh, I really have no idea, I will more likely, in the future see a part of Armageddon, it will cause both pleasure and pain.
Q: but just remember the animal cracker scene. it's so romantic
me: hahaha! what does it mean 'don't make the wrong choice' ? is flickchart f*cking with me?or just judging me?
me: what happens when Pearl Harbor is up against ...anything?!? I mean Josh 'Hotnett' PitHair Action!
Q: haha, you're right. i think it's just an assumed number 1
me: oh, sh*t d*mn h*ll fu*k. American History X or Serenity...I think we both know what I have to do
Q: you're just gonna have to bite the curb on that one...ok, shoot, i have to hit the showers
me: ok, chat ya later!
Q: bye bye
me: I haven't forgotten about this puppy channel thing, I'll listen, and start a puppy channel with you.
