Overheard "Reel" New Years Resolutions


Briony: I promise to stop embellishing the truth.


Sweeney Todd: I will have vengeance


Robert Graysmith: I will stop obsessing on serial killers ... or, to be more specific I will stop obsessing on serial killers as soon as I finish this book.
and all the other ones I borrowed from the library. Really I will.
OK and the ones I ordered from Amazon. After that I will stop. I swear.


Leonidas: I vow to schedule that appointment with the otolaryngologist.



Agnes: I will no longer let the men in my life define me!


Plainview: I will drink all of your milkshakes

You mean fictional versions of dead actual people? Hm... not really, no.

My sincerest apologies, I never wanted to move away from the lighter tone of this original posting and realize now the last bit of comment was in poor taste.
