I tried to go see it tonight, but it was sold out for the 7 AND the 9 shows. argh!

wow. really? the theatre was practically empty when we went to see at the 4:40 show.

I was just going to post something similar to this! :) I guess it's officially pre-Oscar movie watching season.

Okay so I am thinking of doing this 100 movies in a year thing.. but am cuirous as to the rules, specifically..

- Do they have to be movies I have not seen before?
- Do they have to be movies watched in a Cinema, or can home video count?
- Do I have to post each time I watch a movie, or can I update sporadically?

there aren't really rules per se. it's however you want to do it. personally, i think it's cheating to count movies you've seen before, but that's probably just me.

if i had only counted movies i'd seen in the theatre, it would have been, like, two movies. so yeah. home video/dls count.

i add a movie each time i see it because i want an accurate reaction to it. if i wait, i'll probably be more forgiving about what i'd seen.

Cool. I think I will go for counting only movies that i am watching the first time, as like you say, any reaction/rating is not so fresh otherwise.

Hey you, long time so I wanted to wish you a happy new year and say I miss talking to you. as well as saying that I really want to see Juno, so thanks for the heads up rating ;)

hope you're well :)

[tiggz.livejournal.com]

Juno is just a really sweet movie. i hope you like it.
