I did, just not from when it was and who was in it and what it was about. I knew it was an old movie.

You know, I was thinking that every once in a while we could do a not-so-serious staff picks, for a little bit of humor.  Like what the name of the fifth TMNT should be.  Or sci-fi/fantasy convention pick-up lines.  Or something.

Would I be ridiculed for choosing The Nightmare Before Christmas? I know it's only scary to 3 year-olds, but it's my favorite Halloween movie.

No, no ridiculing. That would be an appropriate choice.
Just remember. 3 picks maximum, 55 words per pick maximum.

How could we ridicule you for picking a Tim Burton piece, MoD?  I think it's a great choice.

'Cause it's not scary. Which is supposed to be the theme.

But I'll recommend it. Because--IT'S REALLY COOL!

Saint, is that 55 words per review or for all 3?

And are you sticking to it this time?

I just don't want to be the only one who follows the rules, and then my reviews look dinky and small next to everybody elses. Even yours.

I didn't (65, 61 and 91 respectively). AND my submission was late.

I emailed it to pardol at saintehlers dot com, Saint, in case there is time to get it in.
