Well its the end of the year(nearly) and my goal of 1500 is done and gone but 1k is still in sight. So im going to make a thread of showing me drawing near. There is something like 44 days left and I'm 127 short, so somewhere around 3 a day will be needed to reach this goal.
# 873 - March of the Penguins 2005 ( cool documentary about penguins and how they do their walk and raise their young. Pretty crazy they can dive 1700 feet)
#874 - The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo ( I thought it was pretty good, some have it was a little to predictable but it didn't bother me what so ever. )

#874 - The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo ( mini review incoming after watching it)
I wonder how that movie is, I have seen the swedish version so I await this one eagerly.
Just one thing I get a little annoyed with(if its the same movie Ive heard about)
Is that the actors have tried to get a swedish accent, all except one. Daniel craig will still have his brittish accent.

3 movies a day would seem more like a chore than enjoyment to me.

3 movies is pretty light for me. Remember I really love movies :D. It only becomes a chore if a lot of stinkers are in a row or similar movies. But i tend to pick from all types of genres, the quality is here and there though

3 movies a day is very light, well for me as well anyway. i spend alot of time streaming movies and documentaries so between work and watchin so much stuff it leaves very little time for sleep. but then again atleast my body is relaxed while im layin around watchin stuff. i think im currently following 40+ tv shows a week that are airing now.plus all the movies and documentaries i watch its just unbelievable the time spent in watching everything. thank god for the handfull of amazing streamig sites that have everything u can think of, and im part of the staff on one adding shows/movies to the site so if there isnt sumthing i want on there i either kno where to find it out there or can ask for it and another staff member will get on it asap.

If were talking in terms of TV/Movies watched while doing *other* things… then I sure do watch a lot lol Ive always got a TV on while Im gaming, or my laptop streaming while Im using my TV… and at work my iPod is loaded with all sortsa stuff. But in terms of *just* watching… yea, 1 movie at a time is my max xD If I had to pick video games or TV…. Games all the way :)

Lost a little momentum cause of sports, but thats the usual :P. Did however pick up Serpico, The Man who shot Liberty Vance and Catfish at the library.
#876- Crazy Stupid Love - Went to the 2 dollar theater for this, I thought the beginning and end were interesting and funny, whilst the middle just was blah blah.
#877- Last Man Standing- Bruce Willis western where he's driving along in West Texas and gets stopped by one gang in this hick town over run by 2 gangs, then he works back and forth between each the gangs and whilst the story goes on he eventually kills basically both, I liked it. In the lower end though of movies I liked with Bruce Willis playing
#878- The Naked Lady - from 1948, a movie where a model is killed and detectives search for the killer and go through several shady characters. Its decent
#879- Serpico - Good early Al Pacino based on real events, goes about telling of the Frank Serpico story about how he wouldn't take money and how he testified against others.
#880 Inside Serpico- 13 min documentary that talks and tells about some the details of Serpico. decently cool
#881 Now! - short from 1965 that puts stills and news coverage together. Can be seen here.

#882 Glimspe of the Garden - short from 1957 that scans a garden.

Welcome to Google Docs (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Arn3H-X8tjp1dHFvd3Q2clg0NENuNFV4Yktsd2FZR1E)
I think i might go for a shorter goal of say like 400 regular and 250 shorts. Or something this year.
