Only 100? That isn't even 10 per month. You work at a video store and get free rentals. You should shoot for 150.

Dude, 100 is still a lot. It requires time to watch them. I did the math and if all the movies were exactly 90 minutes (which they won't be, because I watch a LOT of long movies) it would be a combined total of 6 1/4 days spent watching movies. That's a lot of time.

ya, but I bet you usually spend like 10 days a year because of your love for movies. You have inspired me though, I am going to keep track of all the movies I see this year.

Since when do Shorts count?

dopplegl March 3 2007, 17:54:56 UTC

Why wouldn't they? Short films are as valid as long films. And this 'Short' was 40 minutes long, so it's not like I watched a four minute short and counted it.

Ok, you didn't say that in the post. Many shorts are only a few minutes, so I was just making sure cuz if those counted I had a few to add to my list. BTW you're an asshole for seeing Zodiac, I was probably gonna see if you wanted to go see it next week. Whatever though.

Ummm, A) How the fuck was I supposed to know that if you didn't ask me? and 2) It's David Fincher and Jake GYllenhaal, you of all people should know that there was no way I was going to wait. And C) I would totally see it again.

whoa... thats a great idea... i dont think i could do it, but 10 movies a month isnt that out of hand. i do a film podcast, so i'm watching them pretty often anyway... i should try and keep track from now on. very cool. cant wait to see Jesus Camp!

i tried the first 5 minutes of 'Sicko' yesterday, and wasnt up to it. no healthcare = guy giving himself stitches. no thanks.

Jesus Camp was really good but also frightening.

I plan to watch Sicko at some point in the future; it looks really interesting.
