To Start This Off
Hello, welcome to my start of this never ending task I am about to begin. I'm going to set the rules that I will have to follow. I know rules sometimes means no fun, but think of it this way every drinking game has rules and that makes it more fun. Unless your playing by yourself, or you just drink to everything. In both cases you may have a problem.
That's kinda what I have. I have a problem with watching a movie and then having nothing to show for it. Some movies I have seen make me want to run out and buy every copy then climb the nearest skyscraper and start throwing it down with little parachutes so that everyone can enjoy it. Then again sometimes I see a movie and I want to run out buy every copy and climb the nearest skyscraper and throw them off without the parachutes.
Well every game has to have some ground rules and so I am going to set some for this one. Without them then I will just be some guy watching movies and throwing my opinion out there.
I have an ever growing list of movies spanning time and genres and I am going to select a movie from this list which I will then have to review using a 1 - 5 scale.
1) being I watched this movie from start to finish. (maybe not counting wondering way to pee or get a beverage) This means that I have lost time from my life and I wish the movie could give it back.
2) This movie is worth catching on Tv but its must never ever be paid for, paying for your cable or otherwise may even be too much.
3) Its in the movie I may not have liked it but I may very well understand its appeal to someone.
4) This was a good movie you should consider seeing it because I enjoyed it...but would not buy it.
5) Holy shit did you see (BLANK!) this is the best damn movie ever here take my wallet and go see that shit like 5 times and call me during the 4th time. FUCK YA!
That is my scale 1 being boo, 5 being dont speak to me till you see this.
Second rule if I have seen the movie before (about 25% of the movies on this list I have seen) if and when this happens I must make a review on pure memory. I cannot watch this movie again until I make a post telling how I felt about it. Roughly how long ago I had seen it and a few specific details.
I may very well come across a movie that is not available through Nashville Public Library (where I get most of my entertainment) If and when that happens I must try to find the trailer or some other non-review based information. Then I must make a review on this with limited information. Then if later I do in fact see this then I will go back and see how far I'm off.
I can stop a movie but I then still have to do a post listing the reasons this was not able to keep my attention.
Finally If more than five people suggest that I must see a movie then I have to actively try to see it as soon as possible. (ASAP)
Hopefully this will be fun for me and fun for anyone who reads this.
Cheers
John
