1000th post: 40 for 40

Today marks my 1000th post on The Agitation of the Mind, as well as my 40th birthday. The gimmick was too good to pass up: I took 40 DVDs, all staples of the collection, and took a screengrab at the fortieth minute. (If you’re wondering why John Carpenter’s ‘The Thing’, one of my absolute favourite films of all time, isn’t represented, it’s because there’s a fade to black at exactly forty minutes.)
