1st Sekidemy Awards (1/1/2008 - 22/2/2008)

Mayuko and I have watched 21 movies since Jan 2008. Most of them are rental DVDs at public library. Yay! it's free!!. Tonight we talked about the best movie and made a list of movies in order of "goodness". The winner is "Little Miss Sunshine".

One of the best parts of this movie is that Dwayne, the teenager, made this statement to his uncle Frank after leaving from the beauty contest at a pier:

Fuck beauty contests.
Life is one fucking beauty contest after another
You know, school, then college, then work
Fuck that.

Well, We also split 21 movies to 3 groups: "Must watch and let's get to talk about it", "You'll have a good time" and "Go on If you have a time".
