That's too bad. I honestly believe some of my best writing was on Yelp. I still go back and read them, because I have a short memory, and they make me laugh (because I forget what I wrote).

Then they demanded too much and paid too little, so I began doing Trip Reports on PCF.

This goes heavily against Poker Zombie's original one movie rule and may be off topic but...

War movie—- Full Metal Jacket.

My personal favorite of all time.

I feel like "Stanley Kubrick films" is its own category. That's my favorite one of his, partly because it's the least weird, and partly because of my time in the Corps.
