One being Eyes Wide Shut, of course, since you know I love that film. The other being Barry Lyndon, which was pretty freaking boring in my opinion. I can't remember much about it.Justin Garrett Blumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15137911263603130588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1551842705499192006.post-11710467406863883662011-07-26T17:55:36.990-05:002011-07-26T17:55:36.990-05:00I liked 2001.
