100 DAYS HOW TO

Okay so before I formally post my first movie thoughts I think it's time to introduce the MECHANICS of this Madness that I've just subjected myself to. 


(And if you have caught on to the fact that I'm really very lazy and am now stalling because I don't know why I've gotten myself involved in doing this then congratulations! *Here, have a confetti*)



I gotta be honest with you. I thought I could just pick whatever movie I liked or feel about talking about and just post what I thought about it here but that isn't much of a challenge now is it?

Nope! So what I'll do is get a jar or whatever and write about 30-50 movie titles in tiny pieces of paper and drop all of 'em in the jar. And then every day for the next 100 days, I would pick a paper, watch/rewatch the movie/film and write down my thoughts then post it here. Sounds fine right? 

Sooo here goes,

the CONTAINER!

I can't find a nice glass jar so this would have to do instead *meh shrug*


Torn up pieces of
 RAINBOW index cards... so pretty :D

Okay so I have to confess, I know I said about 30-50 movies only but I got carried away, 


Movie Titles!

And I was so awesome at cutting the paper into tiny pieces I forgot I was only supposed to prep 50 pieces more or less...


Let's Roll!
I mean FOLD :P

The final count ended up being 64 titles waiting to be picked in there >>


Into the BOX..er...used cup noodle container
that sounds dirty but I washed and dried it before using it.

Now that we've established how I will randomly pick the movies in there I have to say that most of what I wrote in them are movies that I have already watched at least once. Although, I did wrote in flicks I've been meaning to watch but have repeatedly looked for excuses not to, so YAY I'll finally get to watch them sometime within the next 100 days *Hooray me!*

Also I have to say that the films in there aren't exactly all from Hollywood so I get to give myself one point for being slightly universal, GO ME!

In case anyone is wondering as well why I only have 64 Titles in my 100 Film Challenge, it's because I am hoping that by the time I get to Day 64, or maybe even before that date, you guys, anyone reading this blog really, will leave a comment on what movie I should watch next. I promise to include it in as long as it's not yet already written in and as long as it is not porn. I'm trying to do something wholesome here so please, no nsfw content okay.

Oh and it's also because I have some movies I'm planning to see this next few months so I have to keep some slots open. You can suggest some short films as well. I would probably do a compilation entry on short films in one of the hundred days, who knows, but I'm keeping that option open.

I do have a back up plan though if no one would suggest a movie in the comments section but my back up plan wouldn't be nearly as fun...so comment away okay!

Before I end this post I would like to say that I don't intend to rate these films from 1 to 10 because I'm not really a reliable source for something like that.

I would probably put like stars instead like in Kindergarten when the teacher would give away a star if you did good, two if you did great and three if you were excellent. Hmm, well that's a good thought.

*Weighing pros and cons please hold*

Three Star Ratings it is then.

I NOW OFFICIALLY START THIS THING.
10 17 2015 UNTIL 01 25 2016


* Okay so I didn't really realize how time consuming this whole challenge thing would be so I had to push it back to three days later as prior engagements got in the way. Oh well, c'est la vie. *
