The Demise of Cafe Nostra???

Until tonight, if anyone had asked me where the best place in Dallas to get pizza is, I would of answered unequivocally Cafe Nostra. That changed tonight when the part of Lower Greeneville on which Cafe Nostra resides caught fire in a massive six alarm inferno. I'm left wondering if I will ever enjoy the greatness that was Cafe Nostra again. (On the positive side, it was expensive...and extremely fattening. I would gain an average of 3-5 lbs. everytime I ordered it. It would take me days of watching what I eat in order to "work" it off again) Even if that part of the building was saved, I have a feeling that Cafe Nostra itself will be shutdown for quite awhile. Maybe I should remove their number from my phone now...

Watched Good Morning Vietnam with my buddy, Daniel, tonight. He had never seen it before. That is a travesty. At least he's seen The Princess Bride though. I don't have to quite hang him yet. At any rate, he thought it was greatness, and now he understands why it was a crime for him not to have seen this excellent Robin Williams movie previously.

A handfull of lesser considered or oft forgotten movies that everyone should see:

• American History X
• Good Morning Vietnam
• The Princess Bride
• The Rocketeer
• Lean On Me
• L.A. Confidential
• Princess Mononoke
• UHF
• The Man Who Would Be King
• Tommy Boy
• Fiddler on the Roof
• Tron
• Slapshot
• Moulin Rouge
• Labyrinth
• *Run Lola Run
• *Blazing Saddles
• *History of the World - Part 1
• *Spaceballs
• *The Producers

Edit: * These added later

This is not a definitive list of great and often ignored movies, mind you, but these movies do generally have a special bit of greatness in my opinion. I'm also pretty sure there are a bunch of movies that deserve to be on this list that are not here at all. Probably a bunch I haven't even seen...

This is my new mop. George, my friend, he gave me this mop. It's not as good as my first mop, I miss my first mop, but it's still a good mop. ... Because life is like a mop. Sometimes it's full of dirt and crud and stuff, but you've got to clean it out. And sometimes, you've got to really scrub, and if that doesn't work, if that doesn't work...you can't give up. You've got to run to a window and yell, "Hey! These floors are dirty as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore!"
