Is it a good or bad thing that you took the trouble to count?:rolleyes:

er . . you're putting a moral judgment on the number of movies you've seen? (boggles)

that said, it's probably a good thing--if you've shared them with friends and had good times. Bad thing if you've thrown tomatoes or used feminine hygiene articles at the screen.

Lord...there are only seven that I haven't seen.

Why no foods for some of the themes? I mean, Jaws should be easy enough. Chicken legs ala tennis shoe. Marinated license plate. Scuba tank surprise.

because I took this off of some tv show and was making notes--I guess they either didn't offer food or I didn't like the food so didn't write them down, or forgot, or . . . geesh, whaddya want here? Just go forth--enjoy!
