 Day 150

March 28th, 2024


I've reached Day 150 of Freddy vs Jason, and it's been a wild ride so far. We're only 34 days away from the halfway point of this challenge. However, the second half of this challenge will be even more challenging. Starting from March 29th, I'll be watching scary movies halfway to Halloween and dedicating May to Vincent Price. By September 1st, I'll be fully immersed in Halloween movie-watching mode. I'm excited but also aware that I need to be more active and take advantage of the better weather that's coming.


I'm proud of how far I've come, and I've repeatedly mentioned that there's no turning back. As much as I've enjoyed adding Child's Play to the mix, I want to stay true to the original goal of this project, which was to focus on FVJ. However, I might start talking about the second movie I watch daily.


I know this challenge isn't for everyone, and adding a second movie was probably a bit crazy. But I wanted to make a statement, and I think I've done that. I'm thinking about adding three more movies to the list in 2025, which would give me five movies on the Letterbox list. To do that, I must select three movies to add to their list between now and September 1st. I'm up for the challenge!

Day 51

Day 51 December 20th, 2023  So again, I am just watching the movie for the sake of watching it. As much as I want to review more deleted scenes or sequences today, I am not feeling it. I am starting to wonder if this will take a toll on me mentally. It is like a daily chore like brushing your teeth or showering just to watch it. I know that I have a lot going on outside of watching the film, and seasonal depression is probably kicking in if you couldn't tell from some of the anti-Christmas stuff I was saying yesterday. For the record, I once liked Christmas, then I saw how dysfunctional my family became after my father passed away, and we were able to only get a handful of good Christmas Eve nights. It started going downhill after I had my colon resection. I do blame myself for the start of the decline. I ripped my brother's family a new hole because I took all my pain out on them. This was when I grew less fond of letting the kids do whatever they wanted. I did not yell at the

Day 106

  Day 106 February 13th, 2024 Someday this movie will change. Ah hell, who am I kidding it will not change. After 106 viewings I am surprised that I am not bored with the movie yet. I always find something new or try to view the movie differently. So, I guess changing things up in a way keeps this project going. I know that as this continues, I am bound to lose my mind. But who is to say that I haven't already lost my mind? Today's viewing was back to the basics. No 2x viewing, and no other thrills as in watching the movie in unusual places. Granted that I enjoy watching the film in unusual places. I feel I have one place to complete those viewings and that would be in the bathroom. Honestly, I do not know if I would ever do that. The less time spent in the bathroom the better. It also would raise questions as to what I am doing. Those would be the hard questions to admit to someone.  I didn't notice anything different in the viewing. Though my mind does play out a much bet

One hundred and nine days of agony!

  Day 109 February 16th, 2024 Hi Jethro! Today is a simple day of recollection. I did watch the movie but I wanted to pivot again from writing about the film and any crackpot theories I may have as my sanity slowly slips away into the abyss called Crystal Lake. I haven't been in the best of moods all week and I continue writing daily because I find it to be cathartic. I am not a fan of the Hallmark holiday and I am not a fan of the blood work results I received. One would think that I should just abandon the project and shift focus to myself. What if I were to simply ride the wave of consistency and start making changes for myself? After all, this is my one go at life and I would be pretty pissed if it came to an abrupt ending. I have battled MS for 25 years come March 10th. I also battle other ailments in life due to that and well, being lazy and not taking care of myself.  My father had his first heart attack at 42. We managed to get an additional 19 years, almost twenty before h
