Movie a Day by the Bay
 
Inspired by Rhys Bell Ding, I am going to try and watch a movie every day for the year. I need to get back to watching movies and I have developed a bad habit of watching movies in pieces, so maybe structuring it like this will force me to get back to watching movies in one sitting.

We'll see how far I make it.

Awesome endeavor. Good luck Swan. I would love to join you, but know it would be in vain.

Oh, and you still better be up for some Office commentaries every couple of weeks. ;)

Absolutely I am.

I get into the habit of watching movies in parts as well. Though one thing i like about cable and commercial breaks, is that if two or three movies i like are on at the same time and have different commercial timing, then i can watch two or three movie simultaneously(doesn't always work out perfect).

Re: Movie a Day by the Bay
 
I wish I could watch one a day. On average, I probably do, but that's because I will watch two or three some of the days.

By the way Swan, we need to do another commentary soon.

Hell yeah dude!

Good luck on your movie-watching voyage Swan. :up:

My count for 2014 was 417 movies. Which means I could do one of these kind of threads but because I write my reviews which can sometimes take a while it would end up a bit of a mess. And also I'd want to try and keep some of my scores secret so people couldn't work out what may appear in my new favourite films list that I'm hoping to maybe get done at some point this year. You know, because it will be a really big deal for everyone. :p

But yeah I'll definitely be keeping an eye on what you're up to Swan

Thanks man! :) It'll be a great year!

BlueLion 12-31-14 10:45 PM

Cool. Just remember that I have you on Letterboxd so I'll know if you're lying :D

Good luck Swan, I think this is a tough task. I've seen over 500 movies this year, but some days it just doesn't happen. Sure I could do it, but it would really wear me down.

Re: Movie a Day by the Bay
 
I thought you saw well over 500 cricket. You were on a torrid pace for quite sometime.
