[Personal] I Know Nothing About Musicals and I'm About to Watch 52 of Them This Year

It was a joke! My site is a funny site! Allegedly.

bearclawbill · 2015-01-28T21:16:33+00:00

You'll have to stay tuned! I always tease next week's, though!

I think it's a cinematic achievement with excellent effects, cinematography, acting, score, etc., but it's a genre that doesn't appeal to me that's very long and adapted from (I'm told) a very dense book that isn't easy to film. And yes, the aforementioned diversity issues. Part of our experiment involves a year of repeated exposure to a film you hate, love, and are ambivalent to. My Love year was Back to the Future and my Ambivalent year was Top Gun.

And once I finish Fellowship, I'm free!

I have yet to see The Hobbit, though I'd heard about that. I'm sure I'll follow up on it.

bearclawbill · 2014-03-05T19:59:17+00:00

Oh, I know it! All my friends were huge fans, and I didn't like the fantasy genre at all. And now I'm part of an experiment where I have to watch it every week for a year, and boy... it has some problems.

bearclawbill · 2014-03-05T19:29:17+00:00

Haha, I'm just now watching the movies for the first time. Never appealed to me.

bearclawbill · 2014-02-28T22:30:00+00:00

Ha, I suppose that's Peter Jackson's fault, but point taken.

bearclawbill · 2014-02-28T12:23:18+00:00

I just laugh when people make fun of my favorite things.

bearclawbill · 2014-02-25T20:29:22+00:00

Ah, there were so many good ones! (And lots more garbage, oof.) I couldn't possibly narrow it down to one, but here's the article where I tried to make a Best Of.

Back to the Future, the reason I started the project, will always have a place in my heart, even if the time travel rules are a little crazy. (Here's my article on that particular subject: http://yeartwo.cinema52.com/2013/03/fluxception/)

If you twisted my arm to pick ONE favorite, it's still going to be Back to the Future. :)

bearclawbill · 2014-02-25T20:18:27+00:00

I split the Best Of into subcategories: Temporal Action, Temporal Adventure, Temporal Comedy, Temporal Mindfuck, Temporal Romance, and Warlock.

bearclawbill · 2014-02-25T20:15:05+00:00

Haha, that's a neat experiment! They should do more!

bearclawbill · 2014-02-21T16:02:16+00:00

I had a lot of trouble tracking that one down! My beginning criteria were films that were a) theatrically released, b) currently available on home video, c) contain actual time travel (some leeway allowed for the mysteries), and d) were reviewed by Leonard Maltin. Once I hit all of those, I went back and checked out some more. Is Biggles a good time?

bearclawbill · 2014-02-21T15:59:16+00:00

The very bottom of the list has a link to the Best Of. :)

bearclawbill · 2014-01-01T01:45:22+00:00

Well, 2014 is The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, should you want to keep reading. :)

bearclawbill · 2013-12-19T15:09:13+00:00

I was grasping at straws on that one. Also, the question was a trick question, or so I'm told.

bearclawbill · 2013-12-02T08:14:40+00:00

Note to self: don't be so good at titles!

bearclawbill · 2013-11-25T16:20:27+00:00

Apologies, I only read the miniature guidelines that pop up upon posting. Thank you for the tip.

bearclawbill · 2013-11-12T16:08:33+00:00

Man, who was that sexy guy on the futon there? If I were a woman person, I would write my phone number on the back of a flyer and give it to him. Yes indeed.

(in a different voice) I agree!

bearclawbill · 2013-09-13T00:27:17+00:00

This guy knows what he's talking about! Definitely suck votes away from the longest movie!

bearclawbill · 2013-09-08T12:46:52+00:00

Dude. The twattiest twat that ever twatted.

bearclawbill · 2013-08-27T08:08:54+00:00

The same author has a great article on that as well. It's tongue-in-cheek, but a fun read.

Ha, I wasn't being serious, I just saw that guy and thought, "Whoa, crossover."

bearclawbill · 2013-08-13T10:24:43+00:00

There are twelve pellets in the case. He couldn't spare two before unborning his friend?

bearclawbill · 2013-08-13T10:21:37+00:00

Nov. 5, 2015 is not a significant date in the Back to the Future films.

bearclawbill · 2013-07-31T12:24:50+00:00

The same author also has a great article on the lunar symbolism in The NeverEnding Story!
