We went seeking greatness in movies, and were most often disappointed. We waited for a movie like the one we wanted to make, and secretly wanted to live. -Roger Ebert paraphrasing a quote from Masculin Feminin

Trying to stay calm
I'm really not trying to put the cart before the horse here but a moment of perspective is needed. Back in 2006 when I started keeping a running tally of the movie I saw and the first year I actually attempted to complete the 100 movies in a year goal, I managed 85 movies. Last year, 2007 I tweaked that up 88. As of last night I watched film number 89 for the year 2008. Unfortunately to see even close to a hundred movies in a year it requires one to see a lot of crap (if you live in a down such as I do where you take what they give in terms of indie or foreign fare. So 11 films left and I can finally retire this really sad goal.
