Seriously, at this point I'm positive that I've driven away even the most tolerant reader I might have had with my inconsistency -or more accurately my consistent non-existence. Still, I have a blog, and I intend to use it!
Good News! I've been struck with an immensely brilliant idea. A unbelievably brilliant idea that will, undoubtedly, result in the following three things happening: First; it will either make myself immeasurably more dim-witted or immeasurably more cynical -probably not both, Second; it will cause The Fiance to vomit with rage, and third and most important; it will give me an angle that should give me blogs through -at least- the end of the year, if all goes well, it could get me through considerably longer.
At this point, you're probably asking yourself -well, you're probably not, because no one's still reading, but if I were reading, I'd be asking myself; "What is this brilliant idea he speaks of?! Could it be learning to use a semi-colon properly?!" No. It is not learning how to use a semi-colon properly; I have always been, and will always continue to be an artist that can't be limited by the rules of "proper punctuation"... myself and e.e. Cummings.
Anyway, my idea is this: IMDB has a list of the 100 worst movies of all time. I will -for your sake dear reader (funny side note here: I'm pretty sure my only reader at this point is The Fiance, and since we live together, and watch movies together, I will not be sparing her from anything) Anyway, for someone's sake, dear reader, I will ingest and report on every one of these 100 worst movies of all time! (another side note: some of these movies are way old, and foreign, and obscure, I may not be able to find them... I don't know what I'll do when I come to that, but I'll do something).
The list is here: http://www.imdb.com/chart/bottom
One more thing: I'm assuming this is a dynamic list. Because that could cause all sorts of problems, I'm going to stick to the list as it is right now:
So when does this start? This weekend I will watch The Mist -BTW, fantastic monster horror movie, with one of the most awful, rip your heart out, unfair endings of all-time. Seriously, I like the movie, but probably a good idea to stop 5 minutes from the end... as soon as he gets out of the Jeep turn. it. off! Seriously. So when I finish The Mist, I will return it to Netflix and my next disc will be #100 on the list; Meet the Spartans. The Fiance may quash this before it ever gets off the ground- But at least I wrote a blog.
I like your plan to give your blog a new mission. However, I think you should establish a timeline (you know I'm thinking Julie and Julia) That way I can hold you rigidly to it. So long as you don't destroy our marriage with your all consuming desire to complete your movie viewing and blogging according to your calendar.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I will not watch "It's Pat" with you.
Ohhhhh that is so sweet that you changed from "The girlfriend" to "The Fiance"! LOVE IT! I do have to agree with her on watching It's Pat though!!!
