Tired, as a word, is a complete failure in getting across how completely lacking in energy I am today. This weekend was... tiring, in the deepest, most profound sense that that word can convey.

So, with that in mind, my posting today will probably be scarce. Sentences are just too taxing.

But here's a fun, debatable list of The 25 Most Shocking Movie Moments Ever. These lists are inevitably a failure, but hey, it name checks Hitchcock and Miike, so I'm down. I've not seen every film listed, I've missed out on seven of their choices, but otherwise I like what I have seen.

Do you know the shocking moments of all the films? Even the ones I haven't seen I seem to know what the surprise is. It's interesting how those moments enter the pop lexicon, even if you haven't seen the film itself. I know plenty of people who've never seen Psycho but could identify it's surprise... and probably the chords that accompany it.
