Hey! Let me
start by introducing myself. First thing, and probably most pointless since you
don’t know me personally – and probably never will – my name, which is
Anna. Anyway, I’m one of those
people who, when bored, watches movies! I’ve actually been like that for my entire life. Up until I was about fifteen, I was convinced that I was pretty
much just frying my brain and killing every living cell inside it…turns out I
was surprisingly wrong about that. I realized that when I watch movies, I
don't just watch them, but I kind of analyze them. I mean yeah, there's the
occasional time when I just plop down on the couch and intellectually die
for a few hours, but mostly, I overwork my brain and end up watching movies in the strangest ways. (At least compared to most normal people I know...)
So as the time
for looking at colleges came around, I had to think about what sort of programs
I was looking for. You know, the fun stuff. And, while I was interested in
English, I kept thinking back to film. (Weird). So I visited some schools, blah
blah blah, and when it finally hit me that I could actually study film I was all like, "oh...duh." Basically, it was a eureka moment when I finally came to the conclusion that watching
movies wasn’t just something I did to waste time, but it was, in fact, a legitamate interest of mine. So, there you have it, I had discovered a newfound interest!
Anyway, I got
all cozy at school, eating lots of yummy microwavable meals and going to class (all of the stuff any normal college student would do) but my procrastination "skills" were still an issue. Every time I
put something off, I would find myself watching a YouTube video, or ten, online. The whole
concept of reviewing or simply talking about something to a camera – but really
to, like, billions of people – just seemed so cool. So I started to think, maybe I should to that. But then I
remembered the billions of people and thought, ehhhhhh or not…I kept thinking of some way that I could chat about stuff
I’m interested in (like movies) while not having the entire world see my
oh-so-wonderful face. (Ha. That was a joke.) Okay
time flies…time flies some more…time - oh wait! That was when I said to myself, why not a blog? It was funny because
I had already started one for a different subject but I had never even thought
of blogging about movies. (Believe it or not, this realization came to me about five minutes ago.)
So that’s my
story. At least the one of how I happened to start this little project. What’s
the project? Well don’t hate me, anyone whose already done this because I’m
sure there are many who have, but I’ve decided to take it upon myself to go
through the alphabet and watch one movie per letter and, well, talk about them. I will be picking them at random so there will most likely be a few that I have already seen. I may hate some, I may love some, who knows, but I've made my rule and I must watch them no matter what. So lets see how this goes, shall we?
