I'm also impressed by how closely you've tracked all your viewings.

I'm a fast typist, so if I'm just writing extemporaneously, it goes quickly, even if it does have a long word count. <br /><br />I am, actually, the unique case of a person who's ranked every movie I've seen -- or damn near close to it. For 20 years now I've been keeping a list of all the movies I've ever seen. If the list was not comprehensive when I started it, it has become so in the interim, as I have gone on to add every movie I may initially missed, bu then remembered seeing at some point in the intervening 20 years. Then, when I started up with Flickchart (www.flickchart.com -- you should check it out if you don't know what I'm talking about), I got the opportunity to load all the films from that list, and have fine-tuned their rankings over time with a series of duels. Plus, in the course of adding films on that site, you ultimately click "Haven't Seen It" on thousands of films you haven't seen. None of those thousands of films reminded me of a film that isn't on my master list. <br /><br />In reality, I'd say there are probably ten films I may have seen at one point or another that aren't on my list. But it may be only five. And that's close enough that I'm comfortable with it. <br /><br />I will read that piece of yours on the Indy films. <br /><br />Thanks for the comment!Derek Armstronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13750747272647975591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7877371347086447490.post-79391548375538499482011-08-27T00:54:02.680+10:002011-08-27T00:54:02.680+10:00Yeah, you didn't exactly give yourself less ma...Yeah, you didn't exactly give yourself less material to write, despite your illness. But until recently, who am I to talk about blogging brevity.<br /><br />I like your experiment; it's a perfectly valid way of picking projects, and I like the spontaneity of it. I guess the big flaw might be - have you really ranked every picture you've ever seen? I don't even know the name of some pix that I caught on a Saturday night at 11 when they was only NBC, CBS, ABC.<br /><br />I join you in your love of Indy. One of my first super-long posts was my idea to compare the action content in each of the first 3 flix. It took a lot of work, but was a labor of love. Raiders could easily be my #1 film (I don't think about ranking a lot); I set the theme as my ringtone once, I hum the music to myself, and I find Lost Arc especially to be always watchable.Thaddeushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17414047155226211676noreply@blogger.com
