| Let's not forget Ben Kingsley in "House of Sand & Fog." To me a wonderful movie even though I wanted to kill myself after watching it. One of the most depressing movies ever. |

Cool, I own like half your list but there's 7-8 I haven't seen. I've been looking for something to rent besides all the current garbage that inundates the shelves.
"Deliverance" is pretty intense, of course famous for one particular scene but also for the "Dueling Banjos" song.
Ahhh, "Grapes of Wrath" with Jimmy Stewart. He's in that and one of my other favorite holiday movies in "It's a Wonderful Life."
"Sexy Beast!" I love that movie even though it took me like the first 20 minutes before I gathered the accent well enough. Hard to look past Ben Kingsley as one of the best actors too (Sexy Beast, Schindler's List, Ghandi).
I first saw "Citizen Kane" in my History of Motion Pictures class at college. It was remarkable and I think a must see for anyone that cares about film because it sparked so much further development in later films.
I don't typically like Woody Allen but I thought Annie Hall was very good, very funny.
Anthony Hopkins in Elephant Man looks young. One of my most memorable lines too, "I'm not an animal!" |
LoL!! I'm not an animal!! I'm a man!! I'm a man!! Yeah man, I haven't cried as much with a movie as I did with Elephant Man...Niagra Falls, my friend...
Woody Allen is my favorite director. I've seen the majority of his movies (still haven't seen Midsummer's Night Sex Comedy or Take the Money and Run). The man is something else. He has two new movies coming out this year, so I'm a very happy camper.
Jimmy Stewart's Hitchmovies are the best. Rear Window, Vertigo, The Man Who Knew Too Much...all amazing films..
And I totally feel you: there's really nothing worth watching that's less than 30 years old. I just saw Gone with the Wind in its entirety last night for the first time. Talk about a great movie. Today I'm watching Mangnificent Ambersons... |

oh yeah....best decision I have ever made (even though I decided on a whim one day). It's been nearly a month since I've switched. I am nearly typing at my original WPM speed. The biggest difference that I noticed with dvorak is the fact that it's really comfortable. |

I run a lot of front end manual tests. (No automated tests yet)
I also write out test scripts.
I also do some back-end testing for the reports that are generated from our application.
A lot of tedious crap to do |

cool, i got into automated stuff this summer, we were able to get the test cycle down from 4 weeks (manual) to 4 days (automated)on an entire platform of products. it was pretty cool to play with big computers that had a ton of I/O.
we weren't able to automate everything but the stuff that we couldn't could be completed in the 4 days it took the automated stuff to run. although we did miss some bugs somehow. =( |

We're working on automating all of our tests. We'll eventually have it.
The one joy I have with being in QA in breaking the build...just a nice satisfying feeling. Our of the last four builds that we got, three of them were broken in less than 30 seconds (25 seconds, 10 seconds and 3 seconds)...and we were running manual tests too :wtf: :wtf:
edit: I just remembered that we automate our smoke tests |
