Sigh.
Well, not that anyone's counting, but it has been a long time since I wrote anything whatsoever in this space. Reasons? Oh, I've got reasons:
- big fat family visit (BFFV)
- attendant whirl of activities
- attendant whirl of melancholy
- etc.
Paradoxically, now that the visiting/summer are over, and the droning has commenced, I kind of feel optimistic. I have lots of reasons that this is so, but let's leave that for now. For now, what I want to talk about is this:
I have not seen as many movies as I think I should have. Not in order, and as near as I can figure out, here are the movies I've seen in 2014 thus far:
- Wish I Was Here
- The Lego Movie
- The Monuments Men
- Cesar Chavez
- The Grand Budapest Hotel
- Chef
- Noah
- Veronica Mars
- Rio 2
- Draft Day
- Million Dollar Arm
- X-Men: Days of Future Past
- How To Train Your Dragon 2
- The Fault in Our Stars
- The Rover
- Edge of Tomorrow
- Maleficent
- Ida
- Locke
- Obvious Child
- Snowpiercer
- A Most Wanted Man
- Calvary
- Belle
- Gloria
- The Lunchbox
- What If
I have missed a bunch, and a bunch of good ones (The Immigrant, Night Moves, Only Lovers Left Alive, and also Step Up All In, which I can totally catch, and maybe later today, after the droning either ceases or I quit the droning, whichever happens first.). Also Boyhood, which I am determined not to miss.
Maybe I've seen more, and I just haven't kept track? Let me just say that I never intend not to catch the movies--I am a movie completist. But this year--this year kind of kicked my ass. Reasons? Oh, there are reasons. But I am going to do better. I am going to catch the movies this weekend hardcore. Boyhood at least and probably more. And Step Up All In. Because I am definitely all in for the dance movies, or I don't know what.

That is almost as many movies as I haven't seen. I look forward to the next installment when you whittle down the list for me. I'm like, five-movies-a-year girl. Help me make them count!
ReplyDeleteYou've still seen so many good ones, many I haven't seen.
ReplyDeleteAnd Boyhood won't disappoint--do it. Every minute is worth it. I'm confident it will restore your faith, if needed, in movies, movie-going, and LIFE.
Oh it makes me GIDDY to hear your voice! Welcome back HTMS.
