June movies

June probably had one of my favorites of the year (Toy Story 3), least favorite (Strange Wilderness), best titled (The Great Ecstasy of the Sculptor Steiner or Beetle Queen Conquers Tokyo), favorite doc (Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage) and most nauseating (The Human Centipede). So, I guess you could say June was a diverse month of film viewing. The year is officially half over and my film total for six months is 112. On pace for 224.

I. Hate. Rush.

I would rather tongue-bathe my grandmother than sit through a Rush documentary. Frankly, I'd probably get more enjoyment from the former.

Guy--Then you wouldn't have liked the Rush doc. It pretty much traces their career album by album by album from the very beginning. You are kind of sick admitting that desire to "tongue-bathe" grandma though, ha.

I have to disagree w/ Cinerobot on this one. I don't like any Rush songs-- in fact, I can't identify any of them except for Tom Sawyer-- and absolutely loved the doc. One of my fave movies of the year.
