I don't think I've seen a whole movie at all this year.

But when I do, I'll update this post!
Take a picture, trick. I'm on a boat, bitch.

I didn't like the CG blood either, but I read in an interview he did that because he didn't want reality, and isn't into wuxia type stuff, so he used CG blood to give it a surreal effect.

Well, that year went fast. Here is the final tally.

350 movies viewed in total.
316 new viewings.
34 repeat viewings.
7 new viewings in a theatre.
1 repeat viewing in a theatre (ROTS)

Favorite movie seen this year: My Left Eye Sees Ghosts
I probably saw better movies this year, but for some reason this one really hit home for me like no other did. Runner's up: ROTS, Memento, The Conversation, Rafifi, Dancer In The Dark, No Name On The Bullet, The Innocents.

Least favorite movie seen this year: Ju-Rei, The Uncanny
A shameless ripoff. So bad it made me angry. Runner's up: Dumb and Dumberer (a very close second), Seven Days In A Coffin, Horrorvision, Red Eye, A Tale Of Two Sisters

Other viewings that don't make the list because they aren't movies include the entire Twin Peaks series (too soap-ish, but excellent), the entire Genesis Climber Mospeada series (not great, but entertaining) and the second half of the Aura Battler Dunbine series (a huge disappointment).

So will we be doing this again this year? I hope so. Having this list online sure saved my ass when my old pc died!
