So, I’ve discovered that I am pretty awful at tracking my film habit. I equate it to what I imagine smoking is like. I don’t pay that much attention to how many films I watch since I just put stuff on subconsciously or head to the cinema on a whim. That said, I’m not always in the mindset to track my movies and try to be as organic in my viewing habits as possible But NO MORE, SIR. This year I’m going to do my goddamnedest (is that a word?) to track the films I watch in the theatres AND at home. I did alright last year tracking films in theatres, that is, the ones I paid for. It’s easy when you find a stub in your pocket, but I did piss-poorly on my Foreign Academy Award list (essentially I spent more time planning that post and formatting it than I did actually watching the list) and decided to try something different. Coming next week? My Blind Spot list, inspired by Ryan’s attempt to see those must-see films that somehow he missed. Sneak preview? The list has Hoop Dreams and Die Hard on it so far, this year is going to be pretty good.
My New Years resolutions were simple, stop procrastinating and write more, so hopefully this helps.
