wil, it does. And I haven’t been able to bring myself to see the movie that came out a few years ago because I am worried it isn’t any good.

Sylvia, I am sure you don’t listen to all Wagner all the time. C’mon, what embarrassing singer are you hiding in your classical closet? And thanks!

Biblioatrist, it’s a fun one. Emily is good at making them up.

Dark Orpheus, Thanks! Keeping track of both styles in different classes in one semester would make me very confused. Yup, Manilow. And yup only drunk when I turned 21. I didn’t like the taste of alcohol very much and I have alcoholics in my family so drunk never was appealing but I wanted to know what it was like and I knew if I didn’t do it on my 21st birthday I never would.

Litlove, thank you, you are so sweet. You and I can do Barry Manilow karaoke sometime but I have to warn you, I’d be like one of those terrible American Idol audition singers that your son and I like to watch

Verbivore, Hi-ho Silver, away! And thank you.

Emily, you do have me beat with Mr. Greenjeans. And you’re right, Across the Universe is full of lovely eye candy. I am certain you and I could have fun movie conversations and we’d both understand the other very well

Courtney, thank you. Maybe we could have a Godfather marathon weekend or something. No doubt Schindler’s list will finally get mailed to you when you least expect it.

Bibliophylia, LOL! I’ll let you know. And thanks.

J.D. perhaps one of these days I will get around to seeing the Godfather movies. As for Barry Manilow, I am so deluded that he could possibly be embarrassing that I had no problem admitting to a concert and my fondness for him

Kurt, excellent! Thanks for the link!

Carrie, thank you, you are very kind. Glad to find another Manilow fan! When he was on Dancing with the Stars last season I was in heaven

Susan, thanks! Barry Manilow still does concerts, you haven’t missed your chance yet! I’ll probably get around to seeing Brokeback Mountain one of these days but no telling when that might be.

I bought every Barry Manilow album I could get my hands on in high school but I never got a chance to see him in concert.

The only movie I’ve seen from your list is Brokeback Mountain.
