I like where (most of) the darts landed this time:

If any one wonders what I mean, well I think why I like the list is
obvious, however, if anyone wonders about my reference to darts, I will
explain this.

My theory about watchMojo (or MSMojo or <whatever>Mojo) top 10 lists is
that they make them by throwing darts at a wall with a bunch of titles
or names or whatever on that wall, then they do a 5 or so minute google
search on that name as the "research" for the script.

They might do it using a slightly higher tech method, such as using a
text file with a list of names or titles or whatever, and a PYTHON
program that selects 10 names at random.

They claim to survey a bunch of "WatchMojoholics" over twitter or
facebook or something like that, but based on the lists I see, and the
contents of these lists, I think that my "throwing darts at a wall"
theory is much more plausible.
