October

We are officially in the final stretch of 2012, everyone. Here it is, the middle of November, and I’m finally finished writing up my movies from October. I need to get caught up here!

My goal of 300 movies in 2012 is looking like it’s doable, but it’s going to be tough. I really envy those of you that tackled a movie a day, I think I could watch a movie every day but writing about it too?! No way. I’m sure you’re all aware of how much time I spend reading through your various blog entries so I hope that gets noticed as a huge investment of time. I could very easily just watch movies and then instantly write about them but I think the reviews would feel sterile and I’m sure I wouldn’t have near the amount of awesome support you guys give me in return. Seriously, this site has been an absolute pleasure to run and I hope you feel even an ounce of the gratitude you all deserve. Thank you.

With the holiday season fast approaching, you’ll probably see a shift to my regular holiday scheduled movie watching, but I’ll try to keep things diverse, like they usually are.

Now is the time for me to brainstorm my goal for 2013 – Please help me out if you have any good ideas! Doesn’t have to be long-term goals, I could have monthly goals too.
