For a dude that prides himself in loving old movies, and by old movies I mean anything before 1980, Timothy H. Time has six new movie characters to four old ones. This is such a slap in the face to the 300 dvds he has from the 50s and 60s. While we're on the subject of list making, during the summers I worked at the fabulous DeLorme Map Company, T-time and I would make lists of everything and anything and then vote on them. One of our original goals was to end up with a master list of the greatest people in the world (actors, athletes, musicians, actual people we know, etc.) Due to the fact that I am now residing in CT this never happened, and aren't we all sad because of it.

39. Rod Farva- Kevin Heffernan- Super Troopers Farva: “Who wants cream? Nobody? Okay, no cream.”
38. Mitchell Goosen- Shane McDermott- Airborne Mitchell: “Mitchell Goosen at your service. Don't know what I want to be when I grow up. Don't care.
