Even before my girlfriend left town, I’ve been trying to find ways to entertain myself while she’s gone. Obvious on the list are working more, playing video games, going to the gym, etc. But I was also looking for something that might be a bit better defined.
That’s when it occurred to me that I own quite a few DVDs. Not quite as many as I used to (last year I went through my collection and gave away all of the ones I thought that I wouldn’t want to watch again … and it was a reasonably long list) but still a fair number.
Some of theses DVDs are ones I haven’t watched in years or in some cases since I bought them. It seemed like a good opportunity to take advantage of a bunch of stuff I’d already owned and have a definitive starting and ending point.
Really, the only thing left for me to do now is to a) decide what order to view them in and b) actually start watching them–oh and c) then write blog entries about them.
So, starting next week I’m going to try to do a weekly recap of the movies I’ve watched and how I feel about them and some various other commentary on the process. I don’t want it to be a daily thing but I think it’s reasonable that I’ll be able to watch at least a few of them a week and get an entry sorted out.
I’m hoping I can keep a total for running time and movies and keep it lively. The only real trouble I see down the line is that if I enjoy it I might start buying more movies again. Oh, and I guess I’ll save the Blu-rays for last (no matter how much I want to watch Inglorious Basterds again).
Anyway, hoping I can come up with a clever title/logo this weekend and get the ball rolling. Any ideas on a name or viewing order would be appreciated.
