Resolving to have no life or how I decided to watch at least 365 movies this year.

You ever get the nagging feeling that you should do something, but just never get around to it? That is pretty much how I've felt about this blog for months. Now starting a blog right as university really got busy probably wasn't a smart idea, and I would say that partially explains why I only posted on here once. I guess I have had plenty of time to post on here since school ended in April, but I kind of figured that I had let it go for too long. 

Obviously though I have decided to post on here again, but this time I have a purpose in mind. This year I decided that my New Year's resolution would be to watch at least 365 movies or one per day. Kind of a ridiculous idea, but I basically have no life already and am sure that I watched at least 200 movies in 2008. Sometimes you just want something to work for. Sure I could do something productive, but I figured this would be something that I would be more likely to succeed at (also it would be something that I enjoyed doing). If I do fail I feel that will be a different kind of success since hopefully it means that I have gained a life. 

As well as watching the movies I figured it would be good to write about them which will serve to document the process, as well as maybe telling people which movies they should see and which they should avoid. The write-ups will include when I watched the movie in question, whether or not I liked it, interesting facts, etc. Not all movies will receive an extended write-up, for example I figure that most people have seen Finding Nemo so in those cases I will keep it brief. I also intend to keep major spoilers to a minimum and will figure out some way to write about spoilers so that only those wish to read spoilers can do so (probably just highlightable text). I would also like to encourage comments, if people actually end up reading this. I'm not going to bother to give the movies any sort of arbitrary star or number rating, but will just say whether I thought it was worth watching and possibly whether I would watch it again. Also, I will be counting movies that I have already seen, but will try to focus on watching movies which I haven't. Finally, though the majority of posts on this blog will be related to this project there will probably be a few unrelated posts, since I also watch tv/read/listen to music.
