one day when i was having my lavatorial musings, i suddenly happened upon the idea of watching one movie per day for one whole year. i know i could do it. i would only have to devote two hours, give or take, to my filmlust every day. but as the time where the cliche image of an old man and a baby personifying the year switch is used again got closer, i realized that with work and family, i may not be in the expected liberty to accomplish my self-imposed task. plus i would rather get my shut-eye recharge or have high quality time with my wife and daughter than watch a pinoy movie with a song-and-dance routine in the end. (not that i was actually planning to include such an abomination in my watchlist)

and so i trimmed the proposed 365 films to 169. i remember back in high school when i had the temporary amentia to run for batch representative and lost, the number of fools i fooled into voting for me was 169. 169 is also 13 multiplied by 13, which is my favorite number.

so here's the dealio: 169 movies in 2011. doesnt matter if i've watched it or not, but the unseen would be prioritized. part of the project is to tweet a quick review after each viewing, also to keep track of progress. when the desired number is reached, nothing special will happen. i would simply lean back, relax and enjoy the priceless bliss of  not having done it for any particular cause.
