BEST MOVIE OF 2005 (and quite possibly of the last 10 years): While we're on Malick: 2nd best movie of 2005 that I just saw recently on HBO featuring the HOTTEST Mr. Darcy EVER in the history of cinema (loved it, loved it, loved it!

I love reading random stuff like liner notes and product labels (especially in the shower) and have zero tolerance for literary snobs.
