Films– An Introduction

Right...

The Plan:
As silly as it was for Kate to accept this challenge, I must admit she's plodding along with frightful abandon for everything non-literary. I therefore realized my need to start getting on with plotting her downfall.

Although I could have taken today to take the lead with ease, I found the more sporting alternative to be a planning session (also, I was and am a bit ill today and not up to acquiring any films just now). I spent a good chunk of time (prior to blowing chunks) researching which DVD rental service had the majority of my titles available for the best price. I concluded that the online video rental retailing giant, Lovefilm to be the best option.

I am going for the unlimited one disk rental at a time option, which should give me access to the online Lovefilm player. While it's unclear as to how many titles will be available with this method, it seems to be a good way to start.

If Kate continues to pull ahead, I'll have to up the anti a bit, and move up to the 4 disks at a time option!

I also plan to supplement rentals with charity shop DVDs, and indeed VHS cassettes, where available.

Labeling:
Kate and I both began with a list of 100 items we were to watch of which we had both already seen/read quite a bit of. Because I have seen 57 of my list items (an item being either a single film or a series), I will begin my list on number 58 and end on number 100.

A Note to a Very Special Lady:
You're so going down.
