In response to this mockery<\/a>, I post Steelbuddha’s 100 Best Movie Characters From Movies (Mostly Geeky Ones) I’ve Seen Subject To Change As I Remember Others Or Am Reminded By Comments And\/or Angry Emails And Most Importantly In No Particular Order.<\/p>\n

Also, I’m a totally uninteresting person with nothing better to post than the fact that I had haggis this weekend at a Tartan Day party and didn’t see what people get so disgusted over. It tasted like pork liver hash to me.<\/p>\n

P.S. I’m still behind on my classic films; I may change a lot of these once I’ve actually seen things like To Kill a Mockingbird<\/i>, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest<\/i>, Breakfast at Tiffany’s<\/i> and *gasp* The Godfather<\/i>.
