The Challenge.

Every year, December 31st comes around and every person that you know, from the check out lady at Wegmans to your dental hygienist, asks the same tedious question, "(insert name or patronizing nick name here), what is your New Year's Resolution?" Now, it does not matter what your answer is, because either in their head, or outwardly, the person who asked you is questioning as to whether you can complete your intended task. Most people say that they want to loose weight, stop drinking caffeine, eat more healthily, exercise more, or something like that. I personally heavily rely on coffee, and while I exercise every day, I just happen to really enjoy a variety of different foods, all bad for me. Instead of resolutions that directly affect my physical wellbeing, this year I have decided to do something completely different. On January 1, I got a Facebook notification from the Syracuse Obscure Cinema Society, where one of the members proposed this challenge. I will be watching 365 movies in the year 2012 and keeping this blog as my movie diary. They will be old, new, Hollywood, foreign, blockbuster hits, indie films, short films, animated movies, experimental films and movies from any genre, as long as there are 365 of them. It is now January 3rd and I have watched three movies, so I am on track so far, but we'll see as the year goes on! Wish me luck!
