More lists
Dec. 10th, 2014 12:38 pmI guess I just like lists. This one is for remarkable people that I hadn't heard of before. In some cases this will be because in some respects I live under a rock.

to-watch list
Oct. 14th, 2014 10:36 pm..And as a corollary, as I'm building the "stuff I've already seen" list, I'm finding things to add to the "watch" list.

movie list
Oct. 14th, 2014 10:29 pmEveryone will want to ignore this, I'm just trying to build a list of every movie I can think of that I've watched. It will take probably weeks to months before it's anything like complete, not because I've seen a lot of movies, but because my memory isn't that great. Which is the reason why I want to build the list, so I can choose better which other movies to watch. This will also include every film/video title including episodic TV, documentaries, etc. It's currently in utterly random order as I think of movies or see things in lists that remind me of movies.
