These are the matchups I don't see dictations for yet.

zarodinu and I lost touch over the 4th holiday, but I have sent him a possible film title.  I haven't heard from him whether or not he's already viewed it so I'm waiting for that to post the assignment.

My bad, I am watching Places in the Heart, Ned already watched Together and reviewed it.  He may also watch Woman in the Dunes as a bonus, my bad guys.
I’ve lied to men who wear belts. I’ve lied to men who wear suspenders. But I’d never be so stupid as to lie to a man who wears both a belt and suspenders.

gman1050 gets to watch one of my favorite films ever and realize why The Beatles are just a blip on the radar when compared to this man...

I already knew that. How could the beatles compare to Dylan?

FLY in turn gets shown why his opinion on Miyazaki is completely wrong:
I actually consider a lot of movies to be life-changing! I take them to my heart and they melt into my personality.

Good, Dylan is the man. I also like how you capitalized his name and left that other band in all lower case letters, it subtly highlights their inferiority.

I think Miyazaki is really talented, I just think that he's not some sort of God. I think I wrote in my Ponyo review that he's like the Pixar of Japan, except unlike Pixar he has not produced one of the worst films ever made and instead of having a stable of decent to good films he has a line up of good to great films with one or two approaching truly spectacular. However, some of his films, namely Spirited Away are, despite being good, vastly overrated.

I wonder if Ashitaka from Princess Mononoke could beat Stallone from Over The Top in an arm wrestle...

I can only hope. It's better than Porco Rosso?
