giant monsters all out attack week: the aftermath

I do this with the best of intentions, but some how always fall short. I believe last time I was called a slacker, maybe that's true. Regardless, I start a theme week, roll along just fine, then Saturday hits and there are just too many other things to do. I mean, it's 73 degrees and sunny! How can I sit and watch a movie when it's like that?

Ok, I know, it's not like I'm going to go outside and play frisbee or anything, but the motivation to blog leaves me when the weather turns nice and the week turns into the weekend. So, once again, I stop the week at five days and move on.

Now that it's over, it's time to rebuild and get on with our lives. Until, that is, that fateful day when Giant Monsters All Out Attack Week returns as all giant monsters do! Until that day, he's a recap to serve as a reminder of the horrors we've survived!

Day 1 : Eight Legged Freaks
Day 2: The Valley of Gwangi
Day 3: Gamera 3: Revenge of Iris
Day 4: King Kong vs Godzilla
Day 5: Jurassic Park III

dreamrot's favorite movies week: the end of the road

I wonder if exfiltrate is really a word...

That was fun. Wasn't that fun?

Those are just SOME of my favorite movies. I think I'll add to the list from time to time. You know, when I'm feeling lazy. Like today. Lazy. See, I was going to do a 7 day week and do 2 more movies, but I go to thinking...I really don't feel like it. I mean, it's already after 7 today, and I have to travel tomorrow. So, the week is over. 5 days is a week, right? It's a work week.

Here are links to the flicks we looked at, and trust me, this is a subject that we'll come back to in the future, I'm sure.

The Fifth Element
Johnny Mnemonic
Shaun of the Dead
Starship Troopers
High Fidelity

And now, I need to get back to Ratchet & Clank.

Wrapping up FILMuary 2007

Doh! I should have called it the FILMuary FILMtacular! That would have been so much cooler!

As a public service, I decided that perhaps I should try to organize the movies I did this past month. Especially since the archive is all but useless (that happens when you use the same title 28 times).

So, in chronological order, here you go:

1 Hammerhead: Shark Frenzy
2 Thank You For Smoking
3 Raptor Island
4 Arachnid
5 The Amittyville Horror (Remake)
6 District B13
7 The Great Yokai War
8 The Hitcher
9 Time Bandits
10 Frankenfish
11 JSA
12 The Host
13 Children of Men
14 Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
15 Borat
16 The Science of Sleep
17 Hollywoodland
18 Gamera 2: Attack of Legion
19 The Exorcist
20 Casino Royale
21 Open Water
22 Open Water 2: Adrift
23 Rodan
24 Attack the Gas Station
25 The Devil's Backbone
26 Imprint
27 Clerks 2
28 SARS Wars: Bangkok Zombie Crisis

Now that FILMuary is over, you know what I'm going to do? Not watch a movie for a day or two! Play some Jedi Outcast, or maybe that other game I bought that I can't remember the name of but am TOTALLY looking forward to. Oh! And I want to check out the first season of Dexter.

Other than that, I have a few ideas for some similar, if shorter term, events like this. Maybe on more of a "week" scale. Keep an eye out for that. There'll be one a month. At least for March and April. And March's will be sooner than you think. Maybe. It might be EXACTLY when you think. How the fuck do I know how you think.

Aside from that, it's back to business as usual, whatever that means.
