““It’s about fiddling!” she says excitedly, ignoring my well reasoned arguments. “And probably dancing!” On a scale from 0 to 10, where 0 is how much I like dancing movies, and 10 is how much she likes dancing movies, she ranks a 10.”

Best… 0 to 10 joke… ever.

There seems to be a law that says that every quirky Oirish movie has to have Colm Meaney in it.

Thanks for the advice.

Recently, upon our returning from the bar under the influence of one too many whiskey shots, my boyfriend seized my Netflix movie, ripped it in half, examined “Mrs. Dalloway” for a few seconds, and whipped it across the room like a frisbee. I wasn’t even gonna make him watch it.

The Warriors is great literature! It’s a remake of Anabsis by Xenopon — http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anabasis_(Xenophon)
enophon accompanied the Ten Thousand, a large army of Greek mercenaries hired by Cyrus the Younger, who intended to seize the throne of Persia from his brother, Artaxerxes II. Though Cyrus’ army was victorious at Cunaxa in Babylon (401 BC), Cyrus himself was killed in the battle, rendering the victory irrelevant and the expedition a failure. Stranded deep in enemy territory, the Spartan general Clearchus and most of the other Greek generals were subsequently killed or captured by treachery on the part of the Persian satrap Tissaphernes. Xenophon played an instrumental role in encouraging the Greek army of 10,000 to march north to the Black Sea. Now abandoned in the middle of the hostile Anatolian plateau, without communications and supplies other than what they could obtain by force as they went, the 10,000 had to fight their way northward, making ad hoc decisions as to their destiny.

So, rent The Warriors and rest assured you are getting culture!
