Now, it's time to take this infatuation to the next level. Despite not being very good at it, I always liked writing, and since I love watching movies so much I decided to start my own film journal of sorts as a hobby. Believe me, as much as I enjoy watching, reading and writing about film I have no intentions on giving up my full time job. I'm about to embark on a journey that will take me years, maybe even decades to accomplish. As my collection continues to grow, I have had a problem keeping tabs on what I already own. That's where this blog comes into play, I hope to eventually review every single movie in my library, one at a time. The goal, is to have something new posted every day.
Let me reiterate, this is a journey through the world of film, and there's no telling what I may encounter along way. I welcome you all to follow along through this never-ending journey, and feel free to give your own thoughts in the comments field. Oh, and if you share the same crazy behavior as I and others do, check out the message boards, we're a close-knit community of film lovers who not only support one each other's collecting habits but also enjoy discussing film.
Hi Mike, good luck with your journey. I started something similar almost two years ago because I was struggling to find a job and I just needed something to keep me busy. My goal was to review a film every day for at least a year, and I still can't believe I've been doing it for almost two years.
ReplyDeleteI also like writing and being able to combine two of the things I love, writing and movies, is amazing. Not to mention all the amazing people, fellow bloggers, I've met thank to my project.
I really wish you all the best, and hope you'll enjoy this experience.
Oddly enough I too had this idea when I was unemployed nearly two years ago. I was watching roughly 500 movies a year back then though many of them were re-watches. Now that I'm working again, it's been difficult to find time to watch as many movies as I once did. I've never been too keen on seeing new movies on the big screen, so a lot of the movies you'll see documented will be older flicks (with one or two new releases thrown in for kicks).
