Hi,

My name is Patrick, you may know me from junnnktank, alchemy, flickr, twitter, the cadre, one of my failed attempts at blogging, or god forbid, real life. For the most part I go to school, but you can also catch me working at my part time jobs, taking a lot of photos, running, and/or hanging out with friends/the internet.

Recently though, I have taken on a new challenge. I am attempting to watch as many classic/famous/awardwinning/popular/obscure movies as I possibly can. The idea for this challenge came partly out of the need for a new form of procrastination, partly out of being bored of watching TV shows, but mainly out of genuine interest. For this I am picking my movies to watch from some semi-notable lists, like the IMDb top 250 and the countless AFI lists. That being said, if you read this, and think I should see a movie, let me know and I'll definitely look into it.

I have always loved watching movies; one of my first memories is going to the theatre for the first time to see The Rescuers Down Under when I was two years old. Since then I have watched countless movies, but I've never taken on anything quite like this.

It should be noted that I am not a movie critic by any stretch, I actually find it laughable that people can make a career out of shitting on the hard work and determination of others, but I definitely have an opinion on every movie I watch. And thus, my plan is to watch as many movies as I can and instead of just tweeting about it like I was, I will write my thoughts and opinions about them here. I can't promise a thorough academic breakdown of themes and characters or any of that crap, but I can tell you if I liked the story, who was good in it, if I liked how they filmed it, or any other interesting facts I dig up while watching them.

I'll try to keep this blog focused on movies, but I don't have another blog, so chances are I will be talking about funny things that happen in my life, posting photos, talking about music, or complaining about shitty things. If you don't like it, then you can suck it. My blog, my rules, suckaaaaa.

Cheers,

Patrick
