What I don’t like about the Reaction Face entry is that you could (in theory) change the image by replacing it on the server with the same file name without editing your post. That said, I have saved your entry as is to my computer, so no need to worry about it and I love the concept/effort.

Academy Awards are on now; Vera Farmiga should probably stay away from fuschia.

I felt like making a leaderboard for this.

Do I get BP for being dead last? *lol*

For only seeing one of the movies nominated for anything (I think – I’m not looking at the list and Coraline is the only one that springs to mind), I’m not even a little surprised at my level of fail.

edit: oh, Up In The Air and the Harry Potter movie, too. Up In The Air is one that I can’t believe was nominated, honestly. And Harry Potter was only a tiebreaker question anyway.

The only nominated movie I’ve seen was Half-Blood Prince, and I’m not sure if even that counts since I took a half hour bathroom break in the middle of it.

Screw it, I’m not seeing a single new movie for the rest of the year. Given my performance in the pool this can only help me next time around.
