“And the left hand is kicking much ass. I mean, it looks like the right hand, Love, is finished. But hold on, stop the presses, the right hand is coming back. Yeah, he got the left hand on the ropes, now, that’s right. Ooh, it’s a devastating right and Hate is hurt, he’s down. Left-Hand Hate KOed by Love.” -Radio Raheem: Do the Right Thing

Naming the movie in which the ‘Love-Hate’ hands was originally from will get you 3 movie movie points points. NO GOOGLING!

I thought the number for LOVE would be much higher. Not surprised at the lack of HATE. (Love-76, Hate-8)

In the ’00s there were 19 movies with love in the title. This is more than the previous 3 decades combined. We are at 9 by the end of only 2012 for this decade. I’m sure we’ll be beating 19 by 2019. The decade with the least was the 80s with only 3. Most people were too busy loving cocaine and hating New Coke to care.

Firsts!
Love, Honor, Behave 1920
Hate 1922

(Once again- I use wikipedia’s lists of movies by year, which are probably incomplete and I definitely count wrong. Also I start in 1920)

Next week will be- Little vs. Big, I’m very interested in seeing what wins.
