For me, personally, It would be Snatch. It's such a great movie that I could watch again and again. So many interesting characters and a unique style that sets it apart from so many other movies. There's just that extra something in that movie

What about you, fellow Lemmites? What is your favourite movie?

I had the pleasure of meeting Chuck Palahniuk at a signing some years ago.

At the time I'd been active in an IRC chat room associated with his online writing group. The guy who ran the website for the group had written a script and got Chuck's approval to run a contest. Buy a t-shirt for the site and you get one entry. Top prize, you get a character named after you in Chuck's next book.

So here I am at his reading/signing and I brought two shirts to have signed. And he recognizes this means there's stakes here.

"What's your name?" "Pronell Mordini." "...I hope you lose."

And I did lose, but I still got a good story. Also my real name is really awkward and I don't blame him one bit.
