The Road To My 100th Review, Part I

Well, let's look at it this way: as far back as July of 2005, I never thought I'd post 100 of ANYTHING.

Flash forward to now, where I stand on a mountaintop of 99 movie reviews, realizing I have set a bar for myself so high that I'm going to have to pack oxygen with me when I jump.

Holy carp, people: I have one more movie review to go to mark my 100th; do you know what that means? Do you?

Well...neither do I, theoretically.

All I do know is that I have watched a lot of movies that have shaped my life, for good or bad, and have shared 99 opinions with you - my faithful few who have sifted through all of the rantings, the stupid video posts, the erratic links, the MST3K love notes and disco music. My gosh, I put a lot of stuff on this blog that I have no idea what I was thinking at the time.

Even so, when it comes to movies, I at least think those reviews through and make the most of every singe neuron that has fired off whilst watching everything from 2001: A Space Odyssey to Metalstorm: The Destruction of Jared-Syn.

(funny; I just realized my first and 99th reviews both have colons in them. Oh well....)

What I'm getting at is when it comes to getting this next movie review up, I'm going to have to be careful. This is a monumental occasion, you know. And as far as deciding exactly which of the 700+ movies in my collection I'll review, what kind of a movie blogger would I be if I didn't agonize over which one, exactly, it should be?

A comedy? I got lots of 'em. Drama? Several of them, too. Action? A bunch. Horror? Ooo yeah. Out-of-print movie? You'd be surprised. Chick flick? I dunno; does Showgirls count? No? Well no, then.

Looks like I have some thinking to do before I post my next movie review. Yeah, I know; when has that ever stopped me before?

Dope out.
