The Beginning of an "Era"

The undertaking of watching 365 movies in as many days is by no means an original one, but to make this as achievable as possible, I have created a series of rules that will assist me in coming as close to finishing the task as possible in this first attempt.  If you think it's all cheating... that's too bad, because in the spirit of 99.99% of blogging, it's all about me.

1. The goal is 365 movies in 365 days, NOT one movie each day.  There will undoubtedly be some times where life gets in the way, and since this is supposed to be an enjoyable undertaking, it will not run or ruin my life.

2. The movies do NOT have to be all movies I haven't seen before, though I intend (since I have SO many movies on my to-watch list) to make a significant percentage of them first-time viewings. To quantify this, let's assume no less than 90% (or 330-ish) will fit this category.  This also allows me to include movies I seem to watch every year (e.g. A Christmas Story).

3. A movie will only count once, regardless of multiple viewings.

4. Non-movie things that count as "movies" for the purposes of the game: complete seasons of television shows and TV miniseries.  These needn't be watched all the same day.


Other things to note:

1. If you are a friend of mine and you see want to help me in my quest by watching movies with me/going out to a movie/having a viewing party of some classic film like The Room, please do! I want to make this an enjoyable an experience as possible.

2. If you are more familiar with these blog-things than I am and know a why to improve the look of it (or have ideas as to what can make it neater!), please let me know.

3. It should be noted that each year I attend the Traverse City Film Festival in late July/early August and over the course of a week span, I see about 20 movies, but I may not have much of a chance to update while I'm there.


Thanks in advance for following and keeping up with my new adventure, and for any help and support you may offer in the coming days and months.
