Movies
It's not an accurate measure, but it goes. There can't be many movie addicts out there, who haven't seen 10% of that list.
But for the rest I agree it's kinda like saying someone is eating a lot, just because they are fat. Often it is true... but not always.

Well, the test could measure addiction more accurately if it included nasty shit like Pier Paolo Pasolini's "Salo". Now, that's stuff normal people would skip.
Veldryn 15:15 And Vel found a dirty old jawbone of a walrus and put forth his hand, and took it, and in his unholy rage, he slew thirty four thousand men and children therewith.
Dark Knight was ok. Heath Ledger was good as the joker, but other than that it was sort of meh for me. tbh I thought most of the action scenes were fairly weak. The two-boat standoff at the end seemed really contrived. And Two-Face's transmogrification (in personality, anyway) was way too abrupt to be believable.
The new Batman movies certainly have style but ultimatey very little substance (as opposed to most of the older ones, which had neither, save for Tim Burton's work).

Begins was definitely a superior film, but I still just can't get beyond the stupidity of the premise.... a giant microwave that flash-boils all the water in a city without killing anyone. so dumb.Zamolxis wrote:Well, I found Batman Begins great. IMO underrated... just about as much as Dark Knight is overrated.

I took the test, 24% addicted. Knew many more than I have seen some in my todo list 
Watched when the earth stood still, was quite interesting. Still I kinda disliked the fact that it all was about us disrespecting the environment, I mean I watched the day after tomorrow just a few years ago. The alien element was intriguing though the method that they attempt to destroy humans was kinda...weak.

I, for one, am dying to find out what colour they paint Michael's toenails.

All humans do is to go to a place, bountiful of nature, and live there. Then the human multiplies and sucks all the wonders there. They move to the next. There is one thing that works the same way as that: a virus.
Yesterday I watched Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome again, for a change. It was just before watching Le Pact des Loups (I think that's how it's written), and then The Silence of the Lambs. Good movies at their time, you see. Nice watching those movies with not too much high-tech appeal every now and then. I grow weary of excessive special effects. They get better, but they get so unnatural all the same.
"There’s nothing to fear but fear itself and maybe some mild to moderate jellification of bones." Cave Johnson, Portal 2. 
I bought about 13 movies the other day. Among them were Mad Max 2, Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome, IT, The Exorcist, Trilogy of the Dead (Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead and Day of the Dead), Friday the 13th, Poltergeist and some others.
Mad Max 2 is quickly becoming one of my favourite movies. i have yet to see Mad Max 1, but I bought both Mad Max 2 and Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome because I saw that they were cheap-ish and in a box set.
Mad Max 2's action scenes are just great. And it's an Aussie movie which makes it so much cooler because I can familiarise myself with some of the places that are shown. Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome was alright, but it became much more Hollywood-ish and that isn't exactly a good thing. It had many more special effects than Mad Max 2 (and I assume the original) and it lost some of the charm that the two other movies before it had. Mad Max 2 has a simple plot but the action scenes more than make up for it. What a great movie.

After all the bad reviews that I've read, it didn't seem so bad anymore when I finally watched it... :p
So my advice is to go with the lowest expectations to it.

Yeah well I'm always looking at reviews and if they are bad, I'm still gonna watch the movie (if it's my 'type' of movie of course)... you can't imagine how many movies entertained me who had low score, and I'm not talking about the ridiculous ones but the ones well-made who for some reason get low score.
