Notes from Howard's Sabbatical from Working. The name comes from a 1998 lunch conversation. Someone asked if everything man knew was on the web. I answered "no" and off the top of my head said "Fidel Castro's favorite color". About every 6-12 months I've searched for this. It doesn't show up in the first 50 Google results (this blog is finally first for that search), AskJeeves says it's: red.
Really, how could any of us ever compare to you???
I am only 28.8%
In my defense though, some of them I've read as books instead of seeing the movie (Grapes of Wrath, No Country..., etc.) Others, I am just glad I haven't seen (e.g. Bladerunner, Terminator, etc.)
My score is 81.6%. I'm very glad I saw both Bladerunner and Terminator. In particular, Bladerunner is a fantastic movie. I would recommend it to any intelligent person.
I saw Bladerunner again in the theater not long ago, when of the many directors cuts was released (I think they mentioned it on The Big Bang Theory, the one with an extra 8 seconds of footage :). It's not my favorite my film. The set design and atmosphere are definitely the best parts of the film. I think it's better in hindsight than actually sitting through it :)
Terminator is a lot of fun.
I still count Rear Window as my favorite film.
I had just seen Once Upon a Time in the West a couple of weeks ago. I wouldn't put it so high on the list, if at all.
Well, I feel a little better than when I took the test (and was too lazy to post about it.) At least my score of 54% exceeded one of your other readers. ;)

I try to keep up with you, but that's a full-time job! My score is 74.8%
