4/26/06: If I want to keep the same movie-watching pace as last year, I’ll need to see 59 movies before the end of May. (And that’s just to catch up.)
All are DVDs owned by me, unless otherwise stated. I’m not putting in 59 titles right away because I’m saving at least 15 slots for Netflix, and I always choose those titles at the last minute. (I’m optimistic that I can see about 3 Netflix movies a week.) As I see them, I’ll add a note at the bottom of the page, and the movie will be removed from the main list and placed in small grey type at the bottom.
Also: If I’ve seen the movie before and I own the DVD, there’s an excellent chance that I haven’t watched (or even opened) the DVD.
/seen before/
UPDATE 5/24/06: This project is officially defunct, due to some unforeseen family issues that occurred last Monday. I’m going to keep this page around and try it (or something similar) in July or August.
