Weekly Roundup Part 2 of 2: Three Hour Movies and Spoilers

I thought that seeing A Clockwork Orange would be the last obstacle toward seeing all of the AFI Top 100 movies.  There aren't any other Big Hairy Movies that I'm scared of on the list.

But like a classic monster movie it's a case of conquering one monster only to find another one taking its place...my obstacle now is The Attack of the Three Hour Movies.  I fought hard and made it through a record 6 movies this week with 6 left to go...but man oh man they're all long suckers.

Weekly Round Up Part 2 of 2: This week's AFI top 100 movies

Friends, I have now seem 88 of the AFI top 100 movies including a whopping three of the movies that were on my "I haven't seen this and I never want to" list.

Weekly Round Up Part 2 of 2: this week's AFI movies

The good news: I've now seen 83 of the AFI top 100 movies, which brings my "grade" to a solid B.  My new goal is to bring my score into the mid 90s and lock down the A.

The bad news: I feel like I'm getting to the point of diminishing returns with this project.  I saw five movies that I hadn't seen before and of those two were good and three were pretty slow going.

Weekly Round Up Part 2 of 2: a lot of AFI movies

Continuing on from last time, I knocked back a whopping four more movies on the AFI Top 100 list last week.   My "grade" is up to a 78 so I'm rocking a C+.  While I haven't loved every single movie, I am very happy with most of them and it's a nice shakeup to trying to find something on Netflix.

Weekly Round Up: Buffaloed

 

A weekly round up: eats, workouts, watches, and reads.  In this week's edition I made buffalo tofu for the first time, really kicked my strength training up, saw another one of the AFI top 100 movies, and listened to an incredible audio book.
