2012
In my mind I think it's still around 1998, maturity level only, and it's crazy to think it's 2012 (much less that 1998 was 14 years ago, but I digress.)
I'll bypass all that world ending talk and run on about something I actually care about which is movies.
I love them. I write them. And subsequently, I watch a ton of them.
With that said, I'm going to keep track of every movie I watch this year. Every single one. There are gonna be some I'm probably ashamed of watching, perhaps even owning, but I'm putting it out there regardless.
Hopefully it'll stimulate a nice conversation about film, either the ones I've watched, the ones I'm gonna watch or possibly you can recommend some. It'll also show that I watch way too many movies, but for posterity's sake, we'll just call it research instead of entertainment.
So let's do this: The list is below, I'll keep it updated and you guys supply the talking.
