2015 MoFo Challenges

This is an idea I came up with. Instead of New Year's resolutions, or in conjunction with, I thought we could challenge each other with things to do in the year 2015.

The challenges can be anything from something you want someone to watch, read or do. Obviously, if you want someone to really complete the challenge, it shouldn't be something crazy. When anyone completes a challenge they can come back here and post about it.

Try not to overload one member with too many challenges. Let's spread the love around.

Letterboxd

Challenge accepted!

I remember you posting about how you should watch more of his movies. That's how I want this thread to work. If people say they should or want to do something, I believe the likelihood of them actually doing so will be increased if they are challenged.

Also if you really think someone will like something but needs a little nudge to get them to see/read/do it.

I could tell you put some thought into it. I will try and do the same.

I want everyone to get a challenge, so everyone start challenging! Be creative. It doesn't have to be movie orientated.

Love this idea.

I'll certainly be challenging a few of you as well.

Cool idea! I'll think of an interesting challenge for someone.

Suspect's Reviews

I'm hoping to check in tomorrow and see lots of challenges going on.

I'm not going to make any sort of rule, but it would be nice if this had a sort of pass it on thing going so that when you get challenged you challenge someone else. That way the most possible people will be involved.

I think we should limit it to three challenges per person to do, mainly because of time. And as always, make them realistic to complete.

I challenge EVERYONE (including myself) to not log onto Movie Forums for a whole month. No posting, no reading. Just take a vacation from it.

Yeah, I mean if someone gives you something unrealistic, obviously it won't get done.

Also it would be helpful if someone wants to be challenged to say so. That way other members will know to give you one.

1. I challenge Sexy Celebrity to commentate on three full-length Asian movies he watches completely and in their original language.
2. I challenge Mr Minio to not make any kinky remarks or use any kinky or reaction images/gifs/videos for a month.
3. I challenge TokeZa to watch four American super hero movies that he hasn't seen and report what he thought.
4. More later.

I won't do that. And I damn well hope all my Mofo friends will follow my lead. Except SC, he can.

Suit yourself. You don't have to do it. But I have challenged you and everyone else to.

Only three? I will try.

I challenge Sexy Celebrity to NOT create a new thread for an entire YEAR. You may only post replies.

Did this in september and october. Though I am not that interested in movies overall these past few months.

I challenge Sexy Celebrity to post a picture of himself in a leopard-print thong.
