Split Infinitive

Thus far, 2005 has been one kick in the nuts after another.  I haven't been to the theater since X3, and I didn't bother with most of the other films that came out earlier in the year.  After this weekend (PotC2 and A Scanner Darkly), I'm looking at another long, dry stretch.  Wake me up when Brick and United 93 hit DVD.
Please don't correct me. It makes me sick.

Mr. Joshua

United 93 was very intense, I honestly have left a theater emotionally taken back this year by only one movie, the inconvenient truth, best documentary this year by far.

what do you mean? in australia? where do you live that you can't get those same ten movies at your local video store?

while one may be able to rent them, one may not find those movies topping the list of most rented and picolas would love to work at this mythical place. I believe that was what he meant.

edison

So I guess I was right. Such a place truly is mythical.

picolas

now answer my questions in the new world thread please.

what made you think flagpole's list was most rented? did u think his theatrical list was a box-office list too?? this is completely bizarre. no one else's list has been about that, or misunderstood to be that, the thread is not about that.
under the paving stones.
