 30 Movies in 30 Days: The Ultimate Challenge
I remember when loyalfromlondon started this at BOM. If there wasn't the BOM revolution going on, this would have been 100% successful. It was really fun to try and watch atleast one movie a day for 30 days, and that's why, I think we should continue it here. Whatever movies you want, but atleast one each day. It's nothing you really have to commit to, but it'd be fun if we could get a lot of people and possibly discuss some movies.
So, who's up for it? We can all sign up, and possibly start sometime this weekend. If no ones interested, I'll just do it on my own, but it'd be cool to see a lot of people trying it, atleast. Let's go for it!

Anyone else interested? I was thinking of starting Friday-ish, since that begins the weekend and most people can see something to atleast start off the 30 days. Come on, guys!

I will. The recent number of DVD's I bought should keep me busy, plus I am going to Best Buy tomorrow.

Lets bring the challenge few notches up. I would suggest we should rent and watch the worst of the worst. I have a few titles in mind such as Leprechaun:Back in the Hood and Bones

Not at all. Watch whatever you want. New, old, repeats, whatever. Just aim for one every day.

Yeah, not long though. What you would usually write in the "Grade the last movie you watched" thread is fine.

If work wasn't too busy at work, I might be able to try. But now I only have weekends. Like tonight is a free night but I am passing on movies and tv and off to the bar.
Then again, that is only 7.5 per weekend.
- 1 to 2 on Friday
- 3 on Saturday and Sunday.
But for now I am passing, I have to save my strength for Lecter's most movies in 2005. That is my contest where I am going to kick some ass.

Ill raise the bar one bit for you folks. I'll watch the worst of the worst in b-movies located at your favorite blockbuster shelf. In doing so, it would prove I have no life :wink: and have a high tolerance for crappy movies. I'll start with the Python vs Viper movie and then move to Leprechaun Back in the Hood
