Hurt Locker - Attempt #1
So I started this blog yesterday and was really excited and optimistic about my chances to be able to actually watch 73 movies in 81 days....and then i tried to watch my first movie. I was all set to watch the Hurt Locker yesterday and begin this blog challenge on a positive note...and about a third of the way into the movie I totally fell asleep. Now this is in no way a reflection on the quality of the movie (haven't seen enough to tell you if I think its good or bad), but more a product of the fact that i kept delaying watching the movie and so by the time i started it at 11:45PM, there was no way I was going to make it through the whole thing. I now realize that accomplishing my goal is probably going to be harder than i thought. My problem is that I am too easily distracted by random things (i.e. my roommate watching Michael Jackson's "This Is It," which I have already seen but was compelled to watch again because I love MJ). But I am not giving up yet, I will have watched "The Hurt Locker" by tomorrow and get one movie closer to my goal. At least that's the plan...let's see what happens.

told you...this is not going to work. I think you should watch the best picture winners from 1981. This seems more realistic....
ReplyDeleteIf you really had the discipline and dedication then you would not be distracted by random things. Artists dedicate their lives to producing these movies, have a little more respect.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds interesting(if u plan on following through). Hope this is not another "Julia & Julia" wanna be. Time will tell. Good Luck...I'll be watching!!!
