On the decline

 Day 215


June 1st, 2024


I think the time has come for me to admit to something. Watching the movie repeatedly has taken away my love for film. It is a part of my daily routine, which is not a problem, but investing my time on this between writing and watching is taking a toll on my mental state. Not to mention, I am also watching Child’s Play every day on top of the main focus of FvJ.


It's like I want to enjoy movies, but this project has sucked that out of me. At this point, I feel like I am coasting until we reach the end. When the dust settles, I will ask myself what the hell did I do with my life for an entire year. I have been documenting it through this blog: the good times, bad times, and low times. 


I have found solace in these two movies in a peculiar way.


One month ends, and another begins. I asked myself if this was worth it. In ways, yes, and in other ways, I wish I would have stuck to a movie and zero documenting. People I hope are reading this, and I hope, in ways, are enjoying my two cents on FVJ. Or they are people who are vested in my mental decline… haha. I'm just kidding there. 


Five months remain. Summer is here, and I have a lot of other projects to keep me occupied that will soften the blow of Groundhog’s Day syndrome I am suffering from.

Holding onto a memory

-
  Day 310 September 4th, 2024 As a child, I believe that my experience of being frightened by a My Buddy doll is what has instilled in me a deep appreciation for Chucky. It's a memory that has both positive and negative aspects, and over time, I've come to value its impact on my life. Since 1988, I've held onto a vivid memory. Over time, I transitioned from being terror-stricken by anything related to horror to developing an appreciation for horror films. In the initial stages of this project, my primary focus was on Freddy vs Jason. However, after 300 days, I found it necessary to diversify and acknowledge that I've also dedicated a significant amount of time to watching Child's Play.

Completion anxiety

-
  Day 312 September 6, 2024 I've just realized that as the deadline approaches, I need to watch the Spanish version of Child's Play in order to fully complete that part of the project. On another note, I'm still making progress with listening to the book. This will certainly help me when it comes to reading the final four scripts, as I'll have a better understanding of the background and context.
