Spirited Away. We all need to be as courageous and kind as Chihiro.
In honor of Hayao Miyazaki's birthday, what's your favorite Studio Ghibli film? Doesn't have to be the one you think is "the best," just the one that nestled in your heart. Mine is Howl's Moving Castle.

Off the top of head without proper reflection.

Lord of the Rings, most certainly. Or, if I really wanted to prove the point, the Silmarillion
Ok, everyone, what book is sacred enough to you to get sworn in on?

It was Cult Movie Night at the Enzian on Tuesday. I love when Bruce and Selina see each other Shrek's party dancing to a Siouxie and the Banshees song which I have danced to.

Is it just me? This belongs in a museum.
George Washington’s rendering on the $1 bill may be the most widely distributed portrait in U.S. history.
And now one of the original painted portraits can be yours, if you have 500,000 to 1 million Washingtons to spare.

George Washington portrait that helped inspire $1 bill will go to highest bidder
This George Washington portrait by Gilbert Stuart, commissioned by James Madison, has a colorful history. Now Christie’s in New York will auction it in January.

FYI. John is joking.
Personally Celsius is better for water temperature and Farenheit is better for air temperature. That is just me. I do have posted it note at work to help with conversions with key numbers.

(for the avoidance of doubt I don't really call them "victory" and "socialist" units, also I don't quote tweet to dunk on people so don't you do it either, also also I know US scientists will often use metric in their social media because it reflects their professional lives, JEEZ SO MANY CAVEATS)

During Rise of the Planet of the Apes hearing a person's reaction to a big plot reveal.
Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?
Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.

It was hands-down one of the most memorable theater-going experiences I can remember, a collective 30-minute butt-clench/armrest-grab for the final climb. And we knew he lived! Wild.
