    From what I can see ...? There's a movie called Slumdog Millionaire where it's a guy that comes up from the slums and enters the "Who Wants To Be a Millionaire" gameshow. He changed the word "slum" to "rum" because he drinks booze and I guess enters the Whitehouse. I don't think the poster thought more than the wordplay but others are tying in other class and cultural aspects of the movie and applying it this instance. Others are saying name calling is sad. I'm tired, it's a Friday night…

    Danny Boyle is so awesome. It's hard to imagine the same person directed Sunshine, Trainspotting, Millions (which is a delightful kid story, if you haven't seen it), Slumdog Millionaire, 127 Hours, 28 Days Later, and this. I really need to see Trance, which is the only film of his I haven't seen.

    This chart confuses me. First off the lines for each movie are weirdly high. Second, the color gradient is clearly to make this look pretty instead of readable. Third reality TV and talk show having low movie counts makes sense but 3 movies that are "game show" movies? Just off the top of my head Slumdog Millionaire, The Luckiest Man in America, The Running Man, Death Race, and Gamer are all game show movies. So I'm not sure how they're sorting this. I also probably wouldn't include any genres…

    When I was is college, I was in the mood to go to the movies and no one was free to go with me. So I looked at what was playing and decided to pick something that was only mildly interesting to me to save better movies for when I went with a friend. So consequently, I spent the rest of the month trying to convince my friends that they *needed* to go see Slumdog Millionaire. That was one of my better movie viewing experiences, going in completely blind, on my own in a nearly empty theatre…
