No. 23 was Sarah Silverman: Jesus is Magic (2005, Liam Lynch).
“Who cares? Different religions. I guess the only time it’s an issue I suppose would be if you’re having a baby, you have to figure out how you want to raise your baby or whatever, which still would not be an issue for us. Because you know, we’d just be honest, and say ‘Mommy is one of the chosen people, and Daddy believes that Jesus is magic.’ ” Good gawd, I heart Sarah Silverman … speaking of which, she has a Comedy Central show kicking off this Thursday at 10:30. Can’t wait.

No. 22 was The Women (1939, George Cukor). Aptly titled, there are over 130 roles in the film, all played by women. In addition to the all female cast, every animal used in the film was a female and all of the works of art pictured on set were of the female form. Talk about estrogen!

No. 21 was Banlieue 13 or for us English speakers, District B-13 (2004, Pierre Morel)
Hey playas … these will be the final shots of the Alexis’ first time edition of Shot by Shot. The last shot will be posted on the 31st. That is also the last day of guessing. That means that you will only have 1 day to guess on shot No. 31, 2 days for No. 30, 3 days for No. 29 … you get the picture. Any of these shots which you are able to correctly identify within the first 24 hours of the shot posting from here on in will earn you a bonus point. Also, I’m plan on putting together a prize for the winner if that’s at all motivating. Thanks to all of you for making my first time so special … I’ll always remember it!

No. 20 was Pride and Prejudice (2005, Joe Wright) … the new one … the one that Moe hates … The one with Keira Knightley who always look as if she’s about to bite the head off a small canary… at least that’s what I’ve heard …
