In a post-script about the movie Bordertown, Castillo says,

A more provocative story about the Border today might be called:  When the $3 an Hour Jobs Closed Down and Headed to China Where They Could Pay Desperately Poor Women There Even Less, Also with No Regard for Their Health or Safety and Still Charge the American Middle Class Allegedly Under Seige by Immigrants Taking Labor Jobs in US the Same as They Would if US citizens w/ Unions and with Mandatory Testing for the Safety of the Products Were Producing the Goods and All the Maquila Bosses from Mayordomos to the Presidents, their families and CEOs Went Wee-Wee-Wee All the Way to the Bank.

I’m sure movie memes are a dime a million, but I’ve never done one. And I’m too tired to come up with actual content. And I like griping about how crappy the Oscars are. I saw this list at The Ballpoint Banana, it’s Oscar-winning movies. And I thought I would turn it into one of these list meme things.

Key: bold for movies I’ve seen, red for movies I’m never going to see (by virtue of Mel Gibson-ness, Dickens-ness, war or violence which I just.cannot.take), underlined for movies that I was dragged to see, *for movies I saw in school, italics for movies I might like to see, purple for movies that made me cry a river, green for I’ve read the book (or, at least, the book that the movie was based on).
