but I decided that this would be a better fit. Rest in Peace ya’ old bastard.
And here’s a meme from Avitable. If you know me, you know that I love movies. Obsessively. As a matter of fact – I have an unpublished page here listing the movies I’m seeing this year.

I love George. He’s awesome! I can’t believe you listed 100 movies. Wow. I can never think of the names of movies or come up with them when I need to. Great list!

sniff. I can’t believe Ol’ Georgie’s gone. :(
The latest from Sanity,Interrupted……R.I.P. George Carlin
He was a great, intelligent, talented man.
Huge loss for society, imo.
The latest from Lilacspecs…Music Monday – Music From The Lowlands Part Deux
you have some of my all time faves on there. Especially Spinal Tap. And The Matrix. I remember having a spontaneous orgasm when I saw Keanu Reeves step onto the screen in all of the leather.
The latest from manager mom…To My No Longer A First Grader
That is so sad about George.. I heard it this morning and I was shocked at how young he still was.. well 71 young ya know.

And now, I feel totally naive for never registering the fact that George Carlin could die, nevermind DID. I’m sad, now.
The latest from Zoeyjane…Reverse Course
What an awesome bastard he was, too!
I went thru the list. It’s sitting by my computer at home to add any movie I didn’t see. (which is a lot more than 3)
The latest from April…Weekend Wrap-Up
I’m impressed by your movie watching, but you’ve never heard of Broadcast News?
The latest from Avitable…Movies, movies, movies
he was a funny dude
rip
The latest from rawdawgbuffalo…recess is on
:(. I love(d) George Carlin.
The latest from Shamelessly Sassy…Behind in the Teck-Naw-Low-Gee & Weekly Winners
I’m so sad!! We were supposed to see him the night we got into Vegas, but, what with one thing and another, we didn’t make it. ;-(
The latest from ali…26+ reasons to take a vow of silence
He is a funny, funny man. RIP
I saw the list in my EW too. I was kind of surprised by some of them. I think I’ve seen most of them too. Some really good ones in there.
The latest from Kathryn…Happily Home
Only 8 years old. My parents let me watch him on HBO. I mean, at least I never had to ask the big Ps what the heck he was talking about.
He will be hugely missed.
Cami was so sad and put up a clip too. I never saw him but from what you al say he sounds pretty fab.
The latest from Jo Beaufoix…Cherry Red Passion
I would love to see your list of movies to see! I have a page on my blog for movies I’ve seen this year, but I’m not including DVDs on there, just new releases. I think I’m up to 30 so far this year… Yes, I am a movie fiend. I’m stealing this list to see how I do… and probably coming out the other side with a list much longer than 3 that I need to rent!
The latest from Rachael…A Perfect Moment
I’m back. I wanted to say thanks for the love. It meant so much to me.
The latest from Jillian…10 things I hate about you
You’d never heard of Broadcast News? I believe it won best picture that year. There are many on that list I don’t agree with…isn’t that always the case with lists? Totally subjective.
Dude, where the hell is TOMBSTONE????
He was quite awesome! Not really many comedians who could connect with so many generations. Really, my mom and I don’t laugh at the same stuff at all, but he always had us rollin’!
Girl, you have seen a LOT of movies!
The latest from amy…Extreme Parenting
That list of movies is very impressive. I’m not even in the same league.
I was about 15 when Carlin’s Seven Words were first making waves. He was a real renegade.
The latest from Tara R….Gone in 15 minutes…
So much of his work was so honest and hysterical. Pissed we now live in a world with no George Carlin. It ain’t right.
