Aight, babies. I'ma do this. 31 movies in 31 days. Now, the question is, "What movies to watch?" I'm letting my Netflixer Instant Watch dictate what I watch, the first 31 films in the list are the movies I'm going to watch. Here's my watching list.
1. Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. Not sure if this is actually a movie, or if it is a series. If a series, it's off the list. Fuck you Doogie.
2. OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies. Should be good. French spies are funny.
3. Futurama the Movie: Bender's Big Score. Actually have never seen this movie. Oh yeah, that's another rule I just made up for this. If I've watched it before, it no go on the list.
4. Year One. Jack Black, Michael Cera. Prolly won't be very good.
5. Only You. A romantic comedy with Marisa Tomei and Robert Downey Jr. I'm not sure why this on my queue, but it must be watched.
6. Housesitter. Another romantic comedy, this one with Steve Martin and Goldie Hawn. Umm...
7. Che. It's like 12 fucking hours. To quote Superpoop, mother of shitfuck.
8. Serenity. Not looking forward to this. Too many fanboys have popcorn-farted all over it.
9. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. A perfect movie for this experiment. I've kinda wanted to see this, but also kinda never really wanted to. Now, I must watch it.
10. Big Fan. Patton Oswalt. I should be laughing and laughing.
11. Syriana. Not sure what this one is again. George Clooney is in it. It is a Drama.
12. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Still haven't seen it, to my chagrin.
13. Full Metal Jacket. I'm assuming that the day after I watch this, I'll be telling people to suck a golf ball through a length of hose.
14. Taxi Driver. I should watch this movie when I have a headache, if my Japanese roommate Daichi has taught me anything.
15. Tyson. I will beat someone up.
16. Doubt. Ugh, don't really want to see it, cuz I think it's supposed to be INTENSE.
17. Inland Empire. Hmmm. Wasn't this originally shot as a TV series? Josh, does this count as a movie, or is it repackaged as one?
18. Brokeback Mountain. Insert gay joke. Preferably around the word "insert".
19. Dynamite Warrior. Finally. A kung-fu movie where the guy beats people up with dynamite. I assume. Hell yes.
20. Chocolate. More kung-fu. Fuck everything, the tag for it is "She's sweet but deadly". I'm betting people get their faces messed up bad.
21. Election. I think it was originally called "Triad Election". Quentin Tarantino called it "the best film of the year", so elements of it should have cropped up in his most recent movie.
22. Encounters at the End of the World. Werner Herzog film. There will be looooooooots of gently tracking shots.
23. Akira Kurosawa's Dreams. Judging from the title, and the fact he's Japanese, this will be a movie about tentacles fucking everybody left and right.
24. Labyrinth. It has David Bowie in it.
25. The Dark Crystal. It doesn't have David Bowie in it.
26. The Third Man. Also does not have David Bowie in it, but looks post-war noir-y.
27. The Man Who Knew Too Much. A Hitchcock flick. So, heartwarming family film with chuckles for everyone.
28. The Last Emperor. Didn't this have Brad Pitt in it? And a bunch of chinamen.
29. Beckett. UGH. It's period-piece, but old, so it won't really look period piece.
30. The Baader Meinhof Complex. I really hate the Germans, you know? Like, I'll make fun of other nationalities, but I really hate the Germans. Jawohl, I hate them.
31. The Edukators. UGH UGH. I must have added these to the list when I was thinking about impressing Katie with my knowledge of German culture. What assholes.
Now, I'm not sure if I'm going to be watching these through, like so, one after the other. It would be pretty hard to watch two German movies back-to-back.
And, I've decided to give it a try, and write 500 word reviews/responses to each movie. Oh jeezie, wish me luck.
