Space!

jet_li_wannabe came over last night, and we finally got Elayna's old furniture moved over to hotcoffeems's. We spent about an hour over there chatting with hotcoffeems, dreadalus, and the Boodge (ok, "chatting" might not be the operative word there). Good conversations and cute children always make for a fun evening. We then headed to Caribou, caffeinated ourselves, and hung out and watched the game while playing Heroclix. I got my ass soundly handed to me -- note to self: veteran Hulk and veteran Iceman are nasty together. I also got to try LJ-less Tracy's nifty strawberry-kiwi dessert cake. Was quite yummy.

I've now got two episodes of Good Eats waiting for me on the Tivo, but I think I'll hold off on those until tomorrow. I also now have Alton's book. But now to watch the latest Futurama before work. Life is good.

Do you like scary movies?

Edit: All questions have been answered correctly in comments now
This has been going through my head after a conversation or two over the past couple of weeks. Basically, for all the star power currently brought to horror movies (with pretty much every WB actor given a lead part in one nowadays), there are plenty of movies that launch the careers of many a young star. And since I watch horror movies obsessively, I figured I'd post a little quiz to help edumacate folks and test their knowledge. I omitted films like the latest Texas Chainsaw Massacre flick (which was shelved and wasn't released until the leads hit the big time), as well as films that are star-powered from the beginning (like any of the Scream flicks, or the classic Alien).

I thought about doing this as a poll, but I like discussions better. That means, of course, that folks who see this first have a better chance at getting the answers (since once someone posts an answer, it's visible to anyone). If you use the IMDB, you suck. Seriously (I only used the IMDB for the supplemental material in questions #10 and 11). If you don't know it, don't look it up -- let someone else get the chance to show off. I don't expect anyone to know all of these, but I'm pretty sure that there are three or four of you who know most of 'em. If by some fluke they all haven't been answered by tomorrow, I'll post the answers.

And the first two are gimmes. If you watch horror movies at all, you'll know 'em.
