Welcome and Rating System Overview

First, I would like to thank you for reading or at least "just visiting" as you find your way around the internet.

A critical note before reading is that, as I have mentioned in a previous post, I hate the "four star" rating system it seems really in effective in actually characterizing the quality of a film therefore, I will use metaphors as ratings. Often these will relate to incendiary devices because they seem to explain movies very well. I am not sure why but it works so....yeah. At least it does give new meaning to the phrase "crashing and burning".

Anyway, leave comments (please keep them appropriate) and I hope some movie buffs out there decide to join in from time to time.

Day 1 and Rating Info - Bruce Willis Challenge

Since the initial post I have completed 4 movies. Fast Food Nation, The Astronaut Farmer, The Jackal, and Twelve Monkeys. I have seen all of these before but I didn't actually know that Bruce Willis was in the first 2 of the 4 listed due to his small or arguably minuscule, roles in both. Nonetheless, I re-watched them and below are very short synopses of the aforementioned titles and I feel the need to describe how I will rate each film. After all what is a film blog without a rating? I typically dislike the 4 star scale because it seems arbitrary and a rather perfunctory measure. As all it does is, in reality, is satisfy our need to "chunk" information which is made easier through the enumeration of exogenous variables, but I digress. I will rate my movies on a scale which will metaphorically reference a relative heat index or really anything incendiary or lack there of, in other words a kind of "hot or not" scale.

Remaining

Movies - 70
Days - 13.5
