That's quite a feat. I really love Dr. Strangelove, you must've seen it in your quest for completeness right?

We just re-watched it a few weeks ago and the practical creature/gore effects are so fucking amazing. Jessica was so in awe of it that it nearly drove her to cry tears of happiness.

Judging from the movies you said she liked, perhaps the John Hughes teen movies would be more up her alley. Or Labyrinth.

Fortunately, Jessica and I have nearly identical movie taste, so we don't have to worry about suffering through each other's movies. For the past five or six years we've actually been on a quest to watch all the most notable movies in chronological order. From the silent era on up. Now that we've finally made it to the early '80s, we've broaden our selection to include every genre movie that's notable or interests us. Yeah, we're a little insane, but it's good research and it's interesting to see the evolution of film.

Oh yeah, she liked Labyrinth well enough. I'm forgetting a lot of movies - we watched them almost nonstop when we first met and until we had our kid. Now movie time (together, at least) is a rare and wonderous thing, but we can still watch an episode or two of a TV show on a more regular basis.

It's clear that watching all those movies has had a great effect on you and Jessica, at least in terms of the details (big and small) in the comic! Just the collection of robots alone was great.

Oh yeah, we saw the Kubrick classics. We didn't like Dr. Strangelove as much as we had expected, which I feel a bit guilty about as a huge fan of the Fallout series. I think it might have been hyped up to us too much or something. However, we ended up really liking Barry Lyndon, which was a Kubrick movie neither of us had even heard of before seeing it. Lolita was good, and 2001 was awesome, with the exception of the drawn out sequence at the end where it just shows psychedelic landscapes for like 5 minutes.

Thanks. Now that we've finally gotten into the '80s, we can feel a bit more justified in our insane movie-watching quest, since it can now all be considered "Satan Ninja research."
