I did a column there for years. <br /><br />In truth, I don't really need to reintroduce myself to anyone. People ask me frequently how I found the time to do all of this. The answer is pretty simple. I don't watch four hours of television per night. I don't watch any sports. This is my one thing--I watch about a movie a day, which takes (usually) 90-150 minutes. That's far less than most people's television time. I do a lot of this while waiting for my girls in ballet class. I do a lot at night when everyone else is asleep. It's affected my personal life some (of course), but far less than might be thought.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-91529500735380901662013-11-26T07:54:36.410-06:002013-11-26T07:54:36.410-06:00There are a few I think you should watch.

When you mentioned a long...I like this film a lot. When you mentioned a long time ago you were going to end with it I knew it was a good one to finish with. They made a sequel many years later, but it got mixed reviews and I never watched it because I didn't want to take the chance of it bringing down the first film (although I can usually separate original from sequel when this happens.)<br /><br />A few days ago I tried to find a masthead image for the local Dekalb newspaper, but either no one has ever uploaded one to the internet or it's an online only paper. I was going to use my rudimentary photoshop skills to place your photo from the club page under the masthead with the title "Local Man Achieves the Near Impossible."<br /><br />As I said back when you were congratulating me on finishing it, I consider your accomplishment far more impressive than mine. You not only saw every film, but you wrote reviews for every one, too - even the ones that sucked. And the reviews weren't a few sentences or even a couple paragraphs; they were full reviews.<br /><br />So congratulations. Re-introduce yourself to your wife. Have a Happy Thanksgiving. And best of all, sit around not knowing what to do with your free time, then pester your wife for attention until she says something like "Why don't you go watch a movie?" :-)Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-10306688099621580712013-11-26T00:34:17.472-06:002013-11-26T00:34:17.472-06:00Been a good run, Steve.
