Feel free to add your own ideas.

Rick gets a large gold star wall adornment, a leather caiman rustler hat with caiman claw trim, along with a statuette depicting caiman-human history in honor of posting the funniest first thing in the morning seen post.

Steve gets various whirlygigs, hanging and tabletop, all spinning and abstract, in honor of his comic genius.

White Feather gets a toy teddybear armed with a toy gun of his choice -and- a wand. Said bear is complete with jacket with pockets overflowing with cash.

Emmett gets a full scale large table top geographically correct model of this region, fitted out with flood capabilities and earthquake shift buttons and tiny toy fish that actually stream through the flowing waters.

The Fire Inside is set up with a film festival of his choice that he organizes and presents. To the rest of us. And we have to watch without whining.

Help me out folks, we have many more awards to dream up.

I would enjoy hearing what

I would enjoy hearing what TFI would choose as his film fest choices. Here's one I'll throw out to TFI, which is very unEvergroove of me but I still like it, what do you think of The Wild Ones?

Do you mean The Wild One

Do you mean The Wild One with Marlon Brando?

Oops. I meant The Wild Bunch

Ok, in this film festival

Ok, in this film festival would I be going for my all-time favorites or movies I really enjoyed because they were so different?

Like Enternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Se7en. Both of them are two of my favorites but I wouldn't compare them in the same way and put them in the same category together.

Your choice.

My vote would be that you totally get to design it anyway you like. In fact, I wish I had enough funds, I'd help make this happen, I love the idea of an Oly Blog film festival with you starting it off.

We'll just pretend I had to

We'll just pretend I had to subject people to ten movies of my choosing. They would be (in no particular order):

Se7en

Gladiator

Heat

Dazed and Confused

Tombstone

Suicide Kings

Office Space

Full Metal Jacket

Mystic River

Blow

The picks don't exactly scream "film festival" so I suppose this would be more of a "movie at the park"-type deal.

Heat

Glad to see that you're a member of the club. That movie is one of the best ever. Surprised to see how many of my favorites are on your list as well. Equally surprised to see Blackhawk Down not on your list, best war movie of my generation.

I've been told by two

I've been told by two different people from the military (one who was actually in Iraq) that Black Hawk Down is also a pretty accurate portrayal of urban combat.

It's a great movie, I just tried to limit myself to ten without doing a Top Ten (as to include movies like Suicide Kings and Dazed and Confused.)

We Were Soldiers is a good war movie, too.

The Fire Inside's Movies at Park Oly Blog Festival

Intriguing list, I haven't seen all of them and will make a point of doing so.

Cool...............

Cool.

Make the gun a belt fed .50 cal.

Pockets overflowing with cash is a good thing. .50 cal rounds are about $5.00 a piece.

Can the teddy bear be a grizzly???? I have an image to keep up!!

LOL

So Sarah, is the personal icon you have chosen meant to convey something about you???

»

Grizzly it is

Me, a devil duckie? Quack! Nah, not chosen to specifically convey something about me, just a fun April Fool's Day image. Devil duckies make me laugh.
»

I've been looking for a map like that

The weird thing is that I really do want a map like that. Really.
»

I knew that

I knew that, in some weird way. Maybe because I was tired and a bit goofy, I tuned into some cosmic knowingness.
»

Actually I have friends that

Actually I have friends that were there and said the set streets were like a carbon copy,,,,,,great movie,,,,,,as many on your list TFI.
