@achewood I am composing a tone poem about eagles, lawnmowers, and Ted Nugent. It is composed only of the sounds of those things.

I have seen enough films to know that the only acceptable arguments for best all time movie are The Big Lebowski and The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.
I haven't seen The Birds, either, but my understanding is that it's a pretty bad movie. Psycho, Rope, and Dial M for Murder are worth your time, though.

(I have never seen a Hitchcock film and don't know anything about him.  I have heard his name.  I can also guarantee The Big Lebowski is a better film.)

You are now officially a dumbass.

Our costumes were pretty basic:  a witch and a black cat.  The missus did a nice job on the witch's face paint, though.

What was unusual was being in the Caribbean for Halloween.  The hotel did absolutely nothing to celebrate (there weren't that many kids staying there, from what I could tell).  We dressed them up in their costumes and took them over to the main bar/restaurant, where they ate pizza, gave glowsticks/bracelets to the staff, and generally enjoyed being the center of attention.  A few complete strangers bought them candy from the hotel gift shop.  So they had a good time, despite no proper trick-or-treating.

plus, being in a tropical place during a chilly time at home would be rather pleasant, in and of itself.

And Halloween was saved! Hurray! Your little ones are super-cute, Mr. The Mayor.

Oh man. Rope is so freaking cool. Two guys kill a buddy, stuff him in a trunk, and proceed to have a dinner party (including corpsey's girlfriend) RIGHT ON the trunk. Almost the whole movie done in a single tracking shot. InTENSE. But yeah, watching that man get high was good too.
