so one of my resolutions (if that’s what you want to call it) is to catch up on all the good movies that people have been telling me i should watch. Because i am painfully behind on my movies. like, really behind. (i still haven’t seen titanic) but i am getting there. and with help from the killingworth and henry carter hull libraries, I will achieve my goal of spending countless hours staring at my computer screen. so, here are the movies i have watched in their entirety (in the order in which i’ve seen them) so far this vacation:
1. the spirit
2. capote
3. blow
4. brokeback mountain
5. the curious case of benjamin button
6. the graduate
7. fight club
8. the virgin suicides
9. 28 days later
10. sin city
11. the royal tenenbaums
12. the godfather
i was not aware that the godfather is a 3-hour-long movie. i was not prepared for that.
and i’m pretty sure that i’ve watched at least two other movies, but i couldn’t remember for the life of me what they are. damn.
in other news, i’m listening to modest mouse’s good news for people who love bad news album and i really like it.
and two more godfather-related fun facts for you: 1. francis ford coppola’s daughter, sofia appeared in the movie as the little baby boy in the baptism scene. 2. francis ford coppola graduated from hofstra university.
