Also, regardless of the year, if the movie is that good it should go into your top ten.

It appears as “liked” in the activity feed (most overused word in the Internet ever) and does not appear on your personal profile page at all.
For me it’s very useful to be able express a specific affinity for films for whatever reason: Nostalgic, thematic, etc. It works for high rated films but there are always films that cinematically don’t merit five stars or even four stars and yet I love them dearly.

I do think the supporting cast more than held its own with Rogen and Franco, however; in some ways, Randall Park (Kim Jong-un) and Diana Bang (Sook) kind of stole the movie and had the more interesting characters to play.

Over a beer I revealed to him that the “what we watched” segment is my favorite on the show. Frank was nice enough to inquire:
“So what have you been watching this week, Lior?”
“The Train. Have you seen it?”
“No, I have not”.
“It’s really good”.
“Okay”.

It has now all come full circle for me… wait, it would’ve been full circle if I was talking to Jay… but never mind. It’s close enough.
Also, when you meet celebrities you remember what you told them, but they remember nothing. Frank, you’re a celebrity.

There was no script.

May 2015 be just as awesome!

I don’t ever want to see it again until James Cameron comes around to prove it can be done well.

Haven’t been logging in weeks.
