I do not necessarily agree with all of these, but I’d like to watch them all anyway. Supersize me above Farhenheit 9/11 and The Cove?  King of Kong is definitely underrated, as is The Kid Stays in the Picture, and no Mr. Death? Ones I’ve seen struckthrough.

Fun list, but the absence of “Gates of Heaven” is baffling.

Don’t agree with it all, but I edited to show my viewing.  A lot of good reminders that I have been meaning to watch.  Can’t wait for the next rainy/snowy day.

Hi followers or those who might follow me.  I just wanted to let you know that my real Tumblr is actually We Love Links.  I started it with a long-distance friend to share, well, links, back in 2009.  It’s the real repository of LKN’s thoughts, likes, reblogs, etc.

Eventually, that friend deleted her Tumblr account but didn’t realize that I was never given full administrative privileges (I could only post to the account), so now I can’t change the design template, which I sort of hate.  Apologies for that.  But I think the links and things I post are quite interesting, so there’s that!  I have been manning the post solo for at least a year now.
