Great List, Preston!

Happy Friday everyone! I would like to close out the week with this “oh so relevant even today” list created by one Preston Sturges:

  1. A pretty girl is better than an ugly one.
  2. A leg is better than an arm.
  3. A bedroom is better than a living room.
  4. An arrival is better than a departure.
  5. A birth is better than a death.
  6. A chase is better than a chat.
  7. A dog is better than a landscape.
  8. A kitten is better than a dog.
  9. A baby is better than a kitten.
  10. A kiss is better than a baby.
  11. A pratfall is better than anything.

I cannot, however, take credit for this find; it was included in the Guardian newspaper’s list of cinema trends for 2013. Be sure to check out the full list.
