It's taken me years to accumulate a satisfactory collection of movies.

Because I can't remember anything, and because I get asked for film recommendations, I'm building a list.

Though I was working on a script I'll do things manually. It's got a more personal touch to it.

I'm still not entirely certain how to organize/label films, but I'm fairly satisfied with the latest incarnation. Yes, I intend to do my own thing.. fuck the world.
