Everyone loves lists Books, Movies and so on

My Online Aggregator

People Love Lists

I've added a new feature to this blog - a List of Lists.

Basically, it's a list of movies, books and so on that I find good (or bad, as the case may be).

What's the point?

Well, there is no point. Just something I was curious to do. Lists such as this are telling: A few items in a handful of categories and you can get a pretty good idea of an individual.

• Conservative vs. Liberal - Likes Sontag or the movie The War Room, probably liberal. Rates Michael Moore's books/movies/TV as overrated crap - probably conservative.


• Intellectual vs. Not - Lots of foreign movies? Loves NPR? Probably an intellectual (Note: Intellectual != intelligence; it can equal pretentious). Dude, Where's My Car? or anything with Chris Farley on favorite movie list? Probably not an intellectual.


• Techie vs. Not - Has a Computer Book or Web Sites category? Techie. Lists "the Internet/Web/e-mail" as overrated or annoying. Probably not.

This list is a work in progress; items/categories are not carved in stone (in bits, ya know?).

Another tool - PHP/mySQL back end, which pushes static pages to the front end (this site) - developed.
