brianne, i'm so glad you're playing again this year. thank you, ma'am. it got you to watch a movie last year that you may not have intended to see.
ReplyDeleteand, girl, i've yet to finish my own damned challenge. keep that shit in mind, okay?
-Take that Waltz was depressing and good at the same time. I love depressing movies though, so take that with a grain of salt.
ReplyDelete-Thor, does it have Loki? If it doesn't have Loki it's not worth watching, lol.
-I read Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and wanted to poke my eyes out. I can imagine it would be a way better movie than book, but it's still super fucked up.
-Serendipity, awww. This will always make me think of frozen hot chocolate because they actually serve that at the restaurant. I make it at home and it's deeeeeelichhhhious.
-I didn't watch Seal Team 6, but I did watch Zero Dark Thirty. Those movies always get to me, despite all the errors because Hollywood.
I need to finalize my list, I keep forgetting! Glad you reminded me. Good list, good luck!!
