That used to seem like a large gap in my education, but now not so much. I've also not seen "Gone With the Wind." As to television series, I've never seen "The Wire" or "The Office." As to "Dr. Who," I only started watching it recently, and I can tell already that I want to get the DVDs. The semester is finally done, and I'm working my way through the DVD set of Dr. Who season two (on loan from a colleague). Oh, and I've never watched "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." (Just kidding!--That'll put marzipan in your pieplate bingo.)Cedarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08387687034508838126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-49961102055704462762008-12-11T02:36:00.000-05:002008-12-11T02:36:00.000-05:00Everyone's coming out of the closet here, so I mig...Everyone's coming out of the closet here, so I might as well also...<BR/><BR/>I've seen Gone with the Wind 8 times.

Also, Dr. Who. Never seen a single episode. <BR/><BR/>Movies? Well, I've never seen It's A Wonderful Life, which is odd because I love Christmas and Christmas movies. I've never seen My Fair Lady or The King and I, which appalls my wife, especially since I do like musicals. I'm a bit ashamed I've never seen any of Scorsese's classics (Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Goodfellas).Austin Gortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14281239771248780430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-1171937825826705022008-12-09T22:50:00.000-05:002008-12-09T22:50:00.000-05:00I have read Ulysses, but not The Stand... shame. ...I have read <I>Ulysses</I>, but not <I>The Stand</I>... shame. <BR/><BR/>Bonus tracks<BR/>Film: Breakfast at Tiffany's <BR/>TV Series: CSI<BR/><BR/>By the way, your Shame-game reminds me Sawyer's 'I Never'. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-389843893621624472008-12-09T17:30:00.000-05:002008-12-09T17:30:00.000-05:00I've never read Ulysses or Moby Dick... but then I...I've never read Ulysses or Moby Dick... but then I majored in psychology in undergrad, and now I'm in law school, so I'm not sure I should feel shame about that.<BR/><BR/>Maybe I should find a case that I've never read.Lorettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16015590974634693201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-81373867265087166252008-12-09T17:22:00.000-05:002008-12-09T17:22:00.000-05:00I tried NOT to watch It's a Wonderful Life, but Ju...I tried NOT to watch It's a Wonderful Life, but Justin and Cindy made me watch it last weekend.

First, it was that one volume my home library didn't hold that I told myself again & again I'd pick up the very next time I went into a used bookstore (but would inevitably forget). Then, once I finally bought a copy, I just couldn't bring myself to start it, almost as if after so much buildup I required a special circumstance to force my hand, like fate needed to intervene somehow. And I suppose this is it.<BR/><BR/>What do you think of these passwords? Any clues in there? I tried the anagram game with the new one ('adella courey') and didn't come up with much. Except "or a clue delay", which seems terribly appropriate.<BR/><BR/>As for 'Gone With The Wind', I don't personally believe you're missing much, though I know there are those (most certainly here in Georgia) who would wish to stone me at the mention of such heresy.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps you can find a new shame that is also Lost-related... surely you've read 'The Stand', right?Joshuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16966680209698093662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-51829535054261289622008-12-09T12:50:00.000-05:002008-12-09T12:50:00.000-05:00I've never seen "Titanic" or the one where Tom Cru...I've never seen "Titanic" or the one where Tom Cruise is the sports agent.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-81734640572388377892008-12-09T12:27:00.000-05:002008-12-09T12:27:00.000-05:00haven't read it either, but i think it's a good pl...haven't read it either, but i think it's a good plan to read it without the footnotes! good luck, Nikki....Crissy Calhounhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12649031326901904608noreply@blogger.com
