For your Saturday evening or whatever statistical roundup I’d like to offer the ten movies of 2013 which made my list here, and some useful data about them.
Movie | Did I See It? |
---|---|
Iron Man 3 | No |
Oz The Great And Powerful | No |
Turbo | For Some Reason Yes |
Metallica Through The Never | Wait, What? |
Top Gun 3D | Did I make that up? |
Admission | Dear Lord No |
Free Birds | Come on |
Fast Times at Ridgemont High | [*] |
Snake and Mongoose | What? |
Star Trek Into Darkness | [**] |
[*] Not in theaters. My Dearest was horrified that I had never ever seen it, so got the DVD and we had a movie night with that and the classic 80s film Some Other Ubiquitous 80s Film I Never Saw Either And I Forget Which One But It Wasn’t Say Anything, and sometime we’ll get around to Raiders of the Lost Ark, which I hear a lot of people say has some good parts.
[**] We saw it in May but I only last week got why the other starship in it was called the Vengeance, which tells you how slow I am on the uptake.
I love the Did I See It column! Lol!

Glad you like it, and I can assure you, the information in it is quite accurate unless I forgot something.

I love this post, too! The list of movies I saw (or heard of) in 2013 looks almost identical to yours! But I have never seen and probably never will see Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

To be fully honest I should point out some of these movies I never heard of until I went looking up movies from 2013 to be on the list. But they all exist, I think, as things, and have some kinds of definite properties such as a basic movie-ness, probably.
I enjoyed Fast Times at Ridgemont High, although I’m not sure I’d say it’s something someone just has to see if they’ve missed it.

Much as it is to my disappointment, I also did not see Snake and Mongoose. I suspect it may, at some point, have been in a theatre somewhere in a neighboring country, but I missed it.

Possible; it was one of those movies that sticks to limited release. But it is coming out in downloadable form … er … this Tuesday. It’s about a famous rivalry in the drag-racing world, though, not about any particular literal snake or mongoose. Also the drag-racing world has famous rivalries, which I didn’t know but I suppose fits the whole idea that the drag-racing world has its own interests and legends and activities and whatnot.
