hyphenated last names

Idle question:

Yesterday someone asked me if my husband and I have the same last name (we don't), and then asked why we didn't combine the names with a hyphen. We rejected that pretty much out of hand; I just don't care for it.

The practice has been around long enough that people who were born with hyphenated last names are now, potentially, marrying each other. I assume that no one hyphenates the hyphenated names, but I wonder what the most common practice is: keep your own, both take one set, or ditch all the hyphens in favor of something simpler?

IMDB movie meme

From rani23. Apparently this is a list of the top 100 movies (of all time? judged how?) from IMDB; I've seen the ones in bold.

I'm not doing the BBC book meme that's going around, because that particular list of "100 best books" just seems too wacky. It's got a mix of classics and modern fluff. I mean, much as I enjoyed Good Omens, for example, I would have difficulty counting it -- and several other Pratchett books -- as among the 100 best books out there. And I'd certainly have trouble believing that every single Harry Potter book belongs on that list.
