"The street heats the urgency of sound
As you can see there's no one around"
Top Five Fridays - July 21, 2006:
Top five ways to know you're unhealthily obsessed with movies.
5) "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" grand champion.
The fact that you have participated in "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" is not so bad. When people stop playing the game with you because of your encyclopedic knowledge of who played what character in "that" movie, and how it correlates to a film starring Mr. Bacon.
4) DVD collection takes up an entire wall.
Not even counting all the old Betamax tapes you have, if your movie collection consumes a whole wall then you have a problem. What are you going to do in 20 years when you have to add on to the house because your laserdisc, DVD, HD-DVD, and Blue-Ray discs can no longer fit? Heaven forbid you meet someone that is as obsessed as you are.
3) The ability to recognize movie scores.
Picture this, you're sitting in the theater, and the trailers begin. First up is the trailer for Brokeback Mountain. The music hits a high point, and your realize that they have used part of the Thomas Newman's The Shawshank Redemption score. OK, the fact that you know who Thomas Newman is a little scary, but that you can pick out a score from a different film in just a few bars is sick. Please seek help immediately. Go. Go now.
2) Constant readjustment of NetFlix queue.
You have 500 movies in your queue, and consistently want to add more. If you spend more time messing with your queue than you do looking at porn, then you have a problem. As a bonus, if you get impatient because NetFlix spent "two whole days" to send you a movie, that is another warning sign of your geekdom.
1) The ability to recognize and utilize quotes from films in everyday life.
You go through a typical day, quoting lines from movies without acknowledging that they are in fact from films. The lines are so ingrained into your being that they represent you and your life. Or you are in the middle of a conversation, constantly trying to guess what movie the other person is quoting. When they are actually just speaking to you. Like a normal human being would. You freak.
Until next time:
