This past week was crazy. I neglected the blog, while at the same time spending more time than I’ve ever in the last year on a singular post, that you’ll see sometime this coming week, which I hope is a lot better than I personally think it is. It’s this weird thing where usually I’ll take a couple hours (maybe a bit more) to pound out a review, thought, podcast and be happy. Or at the very least be okay with how much I can do and blame that I have so little time. While I’ve promised myself to do so many things while on this sabbatical I find myself drifting further and further away from those goals. Let’s hope I can get back on track quickly… because this is getting out of hand.
ALL IS LOST (2013) – play it alongside Gravity? 127 Hours? Life of Pi? Or all of them???
20 FEET FROM STARDOM (2013) – Pretty great doc, mainly in all the great music I need to hear.
RUN & JUMP (2014) – Meh… I’ll wait for Nebraska for more Forte drama style.
THE LOVED ONES (2009) – Internet, you’re wrong, so very wrong.
THE WAR ROOM (1993) – I never thought of viewing politics like this ever to be honest.
WHISPER OF THE HEART (1995) – so Ghibli has more than Miyazaki in it’s pocket I see.
MARVEL ONE SHOT: ALL HAIL THE KING (2014) – Fun little short, better than Agents of SHIELD.
KAZ: PUSHING THE VIRTUAL DIVIDE (2014) – Never thought I’d be this interested in this film.
THE PAST (2013) – Still thinking about it.
REWATCHED
SINISTER – “I like that you made the movies longer, they are better this way.”
THE TREE OF LIFE – “I wanted to be loved because I was great; A big man. I’m nothing. Look at the glory around us; trees, birds. I lived in shame. I dishonored it all, and didn’t notice the glory. I’m a foolish man.”
My count for the year of 2014 is updated to 37 First time watches (6 from 2014); 19 Rewatches; 56 Total Films
I call shenanigans at the inclusion of All Hail the King. What's next? Tallying up the YouTube clips we watched?
Short films count… if Castello Cavalcanti counts as it did last year then All Hail the King counts… Wouldn't you throw in Oscar Shorts when you watch them?
Short films totally count, but for some reason I don't see the Marvel One-Shots as "short films". It feels like they're post-credit stingers that have just stretched out in length.
Just me being the grumpy old guy I guess.
