quick poll question for the flist

How do I make a poll but put it under a cut?  There will be a "Yoshitsune character death" poll, but that would be spoilery, even though i won't be including names...

movie: Double Wedding

Double Wedding is my second non-Thin Man exposure to William Powell and Myrna Loy, the first being Libeled Lady.  Powell plays Charlie Lodge, a "Bohemian" who literally lives his life any way he wants to.  He lives in a trailer in a parking lot, wears a fur coat(that looks like a woman's fur coat to me) and writes scripts and paints potraits.  When he gets a phone call, the bar across the parking lot will shoot a bee bee gun to ring his gong.  His friends Irene and Waldo, who have been dating for years, are going to be the leads in his new play, but their schedule is centered around the whims of Irene's micromangaging, high-powered businesswoman sister, Magrit(Loy).

This exchange probably sums up Charlie and Magrit's personalities better than anything I could say:

Magrit: One should know everything in advance and plan accordingly.
Charlie: One should know nothing in advance and plan accordingly.

proof that stacked discs are evil

Saw Season 5 of Smallville for $22 at Wal-Mart on an emergency run last night (yes, I check the DVD section on emergency runs...just in case) opened it just now, and disc 4 flopped right out.  Thankfully, it only flopped out into my lap, but still...

*hates stacked discs even more than flippers*

In other news, the next thing I watch will have NO death.  Even bad guys can't die.  It will involve crossdressing stalker girls and highjumpers.  Or amnesiac socialites.  Or weird Japanese high school orchestras.  Or puppies.  Or little kids.  Specifically, little kids who do not die.
