Introduction Oh please, you know I'm that person who lives to make other people watch her favorite movies, and pleads and annoys and cajoles you to watch just one more clip of funny snark from Logan Echolls, or awkward pauses from Bill Haverchuck, or sweet pop culture references from Lorelai Gilmore, and just when I've pushed you past the point of wanting to kill me, I make you watch just one more and blow my opportunity to make you watch anything else for years to come. And if you don't know what all those examples are references of, I obviously haven't been annoying you enough!
