Yes failure. I only saw 10 films from the list. Perhaps 34 films was a bit ambitious, then again sheer laziness did play a huge factor (overworking was a cause as well). As well as other films, both on dvd, cable, and in theaters. There were some distractions including Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Frailty, Gran Prix and three seasons of How I Met Your Mother. But I still intend to complete this list. This time I’ll treat them like my work objectives, where succeeding failure is the expected outcome.
How many films did I see in those 78 days? 32 total by best guess, well 33 since I saw Dark Knight twice or maybe not.
