I don't know how many movies I would have missed had I not heard about them on here. And I've been trying to find other boards that are specifically book-oriented, because I had this weird idea that maybe someplace else I could have deeper or more extended conversations about specific books, but no. Uh uh. It's really weird.
And if I were ever to get a dvd player thing a ma bob, it would be to watch The Wire. THAT's influence. lol
