Movie Night
FOUND by Spenser Ford
in Iowa City, Iowa
I found this list near the English & Philosophy Building. It has an interesting array of movies listed along with a few things to buy at the store.

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
This reminds me of a love poem that the stoner character "Leo" once wrote on "That '70's Show":
Rose are red,
Violets are blue,
milk
butter
eggs
bread
I have lists like this all the time...I start one list and then as I'm listing I remember another list I need to write so I leave a space and write it down below.
the thing is...in this case it appears to have been written by at least two different people. The middle one, which is barely legible, could have been written by the same person as the other movies, but maybe at a strange angle or while driving or something.
The rubber bands are for sealing the plastic bags of bread and lettuce to keep them fresh while waiting to be eaten.
What does that middle line say? Chanel? Engineer? Chance.
Yeah, that make sense. I don't get the ditto marks though.
"The Birth of a Nation" reminds me of Lillian Gish's autobiography that I read when I was in high school. Very interesting.
what's the word before eyeliner, and dittoed before chance? Does Chanel make eyeliner and chances?
that is a weird collection of movies ... classics? B&W?
I think that word is chanel. I imagine they make eyeliner - maybe chance is a perfume? what do I know.
I'm in way over my head - I do the same thing. Use one piece of paper for different lists different days. My computer table is littered with scraps.
I'm thinking that the list maker plans to find those movies (on DVD, natch) for those hard to shop for loved ones on her Christmas list.
I would definitely add Scrooged to the list.
I think the word before eyeliner is Chanel... they do make a perfume called "Chance"

great movie selection, though I wouldn't immediately consider Birth of a Nation a xmas movie unlike the other two.
Today I'm gonna buy me some rubber hands. Always.. err.. handy
great movies and oh yes, remember to take my ADD meds . . . .
Birth Of A Nation + Lettuce + Rubberbands =
Somebody's gettin' laid tonight!
@ I'm in way over my head here --
(from one wacko list-maker to another wacko list-maker about a wacko list made by an entirely different wacko list maker!)....
Ah-Sooo (she sez while putting on amateur handwriting-expert hat).... The letter 'e' is the same on the top segment of the list as on the bottom segment...
And, yes, I agree that the middle list-part *is* different – I feel safe in assuming it was written while driving. -- but, notice that THREE of the six 'e's are the same style as the other eeeeee's.
Aha!! Just now, to be fair and more well rounded, I scanned the Found again for similar lettering, not just the 'e'ees.... All the 'a's are similar. BUT -- the 'r's all look similar to 'v's. Seems like a clincher to me!!
(Btw, my "written while driving" opinion is based on my personal listing experiences. And, yes, @Nearly asleep, I take ADD meds, sometimes. Altho' I am another "wacko list-writer", I am most similar to the author of this Found -- in that I often lose my frigging lists.)
Hey, those are MY three favorite Christmas movies, too!
And I wish we had a picture of what happens when person #2 (with the shakey handwriting) applies his/her eyeliner.
If you read the first two movie title together they make a sentence (well sentence fragment). The birth of a nation, it's a wonderful life.
With mental pause I can imagine skipping from movies, to makeup, and then groceries.
Don't forget to add "Die Hard" on the holiday movie list!
Lists don't help me. i write lists, then forget where i put them.
That Chanel eyeliner is $72!!!!!!!
Maybe the price includes a make-up artist to apply it to the lister's eyes. (Judgening from the handwriting, they need all the help they can get!)
@ mona lisa ... you just need a simple way to keep track of where you put them. What about starting a list of all the places you put them?
Oh, wait ... never mind.
Now I'm hungry for a rubberband sandwich. (Hold the mayo.)
Librarian. That's an idea!!.....
oh yeah... never mind.
I goodsearched it - Chanel does make a perfume called Chance.
@camelia, I agree - the person tried to write while driving! I have many list like this... usually on the back of a receipt, part of an envelope, dollar bill, etc.
@ Amy - lol, my most recent list-while-driving was a list while NIGHT driving, over a sort-of mountain with traffic -- and I kept jotting things on a cardboard box on the seat beside me. There were items on TOP of items... and the list was rather important; how to pack my (semi-disabled) dad up to take a plane trip with me...
One entry had me stumped (poorly written, with another entry poorly written cross-ways over it). I kept hoping it wasn't vital -- finally figured out it was Rain Gear -- and yes, it was important!!
Birth of A Nation-Thats a pretty racist film
If it wasn't for the handwriting and the location I'd think this was one of my lists. ALL of my lists are random like this.
Movies, Cosmetics and food? Somebody's going to Wal-mart.
