This is going to sound silly, but one of my favorite movies is the Coen Bros. remake of The Ladykillers. It got terrible reviews, and I didn't like it the first time I saw it in the theater.

But my oh my are there layers in that one. I've probably watched the movie over 20 times on DVD and still catch little bits of dialogue or scenery here or there that keeps the movie hilariously fresh.

"Many, many done tunkalow parzen, sheriff. MANY, MANY done tunkalow parzen."

"Many done what ma'am?"



But I like Tom Hanks overall more than Pacino anyway.

Have a plain home on the outside but eccentric on the inside, or eccentric on the outside and plain on the inside?

If it were a bad thing then I would guess that wouldn't happen in heaven in the first place, though I'm not a theologist or religious (in most concepts of "being religious"). I could go for the second option, as a matter of helping people, but there are some people who I don't wish to help and I imagine this "would you rather" doesn't give me much choice in the matter.

Would you rather

-Social advancements
-Technological advancements

Both options don't entirely exclude the other; just a higher priority or strength in such an area.

Would you rather have a sloth or monkey sitting on your shoulder speaking for you?
