#45: WALLFLOWER AT THE ORGY by Nora Ephron

Funny as hell.

I almost went with that but decided I could only go with something sillier.

Meanwhile, my miss is because I burst out of the shower with a great title for the Nicholson Oscar square... only to accidentally type it into the Harris Oscar square instead.

I almost tried PRIME CUT in the Comedy square, but (correctly) talked myself out of it.

Meanwhile... I almost didn't play ABOUT SCHMIDT because I figured it would be second only to MISERY... and got a 2% off it?

JUNIOR was nominated for an Oscar????

(My miss was because I thought MISERY had broken $100 mil.)

I'm just happy to finally be able to use it... seems whenever Dunst pops up, the categories never arrange right.

(I thought AN ANGEL AT MY TABLE had landed a Best Actress nomination for some bizarre reason.)

Not my greatest performance, but solid enough.

I was stunned to discover KISS THE GIRLS only made $60 mil.

One of the running gags in Wilder's (great!) AVANTI! is about Juliet Mills being overweight.

If you see this, post an album cover with a motor vehicle on it.

Genuinely debated skipping today (because my brain is bad at remembering Chalamet films), but I told myself I'd play it out if NBK was counted as "composed by Reznor."

Well...

No longer the rarest, but I'm still proud of that THE SUBURBANS pull

Wong Chi Hang has just endorsed Andrew Cuomo.

Two lines of excellence and then OOPS I shit the bed!

Ten bucks at Sam Goody in the Ventura Mall.

(To severely dampen the cool points here, while this was the first album I purchased for myself, the first album I requested to be purchased for me was WE CAN'T DANCE by Genesis.)

Real proud of this one.

#44: NO MORE TEARS: THE DARK SECRETS OF JOHNSON & JOHNSON by Gardiner Harris

Or, ENDLESS SCREAMING II: REVENGE OF THE SHRIEK. After a while, this just feels like a procession of names of people who are all absolutely going to Hell.
