[QUOTE="WhiteChocolate, post: 187545, member: 4374"] never fails to be fun to listen to guys! i'll take the movie recommends/avoids list with several tablespoons of salt though; i'm afraid i'm the kind of person that can go for those artsier films that "don't seem to do/say anything"! it's a film school thing. well somewhere along the line in your podcast - i dunno remember where/when/what it was that made me think of it, but along the lines of the "table of the week" idea... i suddenly wondered, from what i'd recently discovered about looking at the "leadership" boards in my TPA PS3 list - can i record a list of my standings? (of course i can... BY HAND!) so, out of the choice of "this week", or "this month", of course i have to go for "all-time"... and i was surprised by the results!
