Seems having a DVD player, a TV monitor, and an iMac will ruin a fella's literary intentions and pretensions. My Reading Challenge at Goodreads has not lived up to expectations (31 of 48 for 2014) while my Netflix queue has never been more expansive, eclectic, or low brow. Movies in theatrical release were mostly watched at the Picture Show in Prescott, AZ. Among my viewing treats, classics, and mistakes:

I also watched Seasons 1-3 of Game of Thrones (no spoilers for seasons 4-5 please!), Season Five of The Walking Dead and Archer. There were a variety of episodes of MST3K, Rifftrax , The Film Crew, and Cinematic Titanic as well.
There are worse ways to escape a rough day and the prospect of a sleepless night, but the classics are certainly collecting more dust on the bookshelf.
[Update: I'm concerned that someone might consider this a list of movies that they should see. No, not true at all. Thus, those now tagged with an asterisk may be skipped without risk.]
Thanks for the list. I've made some additions to my to view list on Netflix. Watched "Escape" last night and loved it.
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid my two older daughters (14 & 11) watched "The Wall" and weren't happy with its lack of what they view as a definite conclusion. And of course I got to listen to repeated moans while the deer rolled endlessly down the hill.
I liked it though....
Be careful, they're not all good...
DeleteI noticed. We have different tastes, especially when it comes to horror films. And of course, I have to also be wary of warping my daughters too badly. They did enjoy Buckaroo Banzai and Firefly.
