ooooho I love Zooey Deschanel! She was great in almost famous but my fave of her movies is a tie between Eulogy and Hitchikers guide to the galaxy. I didn't like this one movie she was in but she's just so cool and has this average person but also rocker air about her y'know? Plus I love her eyes!

You should watch All the Real Girls. Her best role imo. And a good movie.

You guys should check out our Zooey Deschanel thread

Anyways I watched All the Real Girls today and it was alright. Zooey was lovely like usually and her performance was pretty impressive as well. ATRL is worth checking out if you like Zooey

Only watched 5 for the month of September, and 4 were fairly crap, and the other I had seen before..

Still watched a shit load of stuff for the month, but that was because of all the tv shows returning and they don't count..

We're heading toward the end of year!

...And I definitely still have to watch 19 movies to hit 50. Apparently I'm bad at this game.

Tuffty · « **Reply #109 on:** December 13, 2008, 02:28:03 PM »

^ You're slightly better at it than me. I have 20 to watch by this month

shirenuファクトリー · « **Reply #110 on:** December 13, 2008, 04:28:25 PM »

Thanks to the challenge I've watched much more movies this year than I usually would.. And I'm now at 78

I also love that there's actually a list of all the movies now... So that at the end of the year I can make some kind of sum up of the movies I've seen, wohooo

I hope I can do this again next year...

Guchi_Jnr · « **Reply #111 on:** December 13, 2008, 06:05:50 PM »

^ Totally!!

I've watched way more movies this year than I have ever before, and it's solely because of this thread..
Haven't added my November movies yet (been lazy, and I'm far too pissed to do it right now), but I only watched a handful, so my total for the year so far would be in the low 90's..
Have the last 6days of the year off, so should be able to tally a 100 by New Years..

Oh hell I totally forgot about this.

boykun · « **Reply #113 on:** December 21, 2008, 10:23:31 AM »

Almost the end of the year.

So far I've watched 104, and will most likely stay that way.

iacus · « **Reply #114 on:** December 22, 2008, 04:35:32 AM »

Thank god netflix keeps a list of all the movies you rent from them. Otherwise I never would have been able to remember all those movies.

I had a big drop in movie watching over the past couple of months. So instead of last years 230 something movies I have a far more modest 157 this year. I have another 4 movies sitting around that I'll probably watch before the year is up too.

boykun · « **Reply #115 on:** December 31, 2008, 05:58:48 AM »

I managed to watch a few more, but I forgot I watched two movies twice and counted them. So that brings the total to 105, lol.

I actually have Tokyo Gore Police waiting to be watched. One more day in the year, maybe I'll just save it for the first movie of next year.

tenkei · « **Reply #116 on:** December 31, 2008, 06:48:40 AM »

sadly i didnt keep track after june something or other... but i had already hit 200 by then lol. in the last half of the year i didnt watch NEARLY as much as the first half, maybe only 50 in the last 6 months... anyway, hopefully i can keep track for 09, it was fun while i was doing it

daigong · « **Reply #117 on:** January 01, 2009, 01:22:04 AM »

Yeah, I totally ... lost count this year. Probably cuz I was watching more sports 24/7. Gotta get a good DivX playing DVD player! Loved SHIRENU's move wrap up on livejournal tho. Always a good read
