:( - Hated it
Not gonna lie, it was a lot tougher than it seems. As somebody who works seven days a week, and tries to have something that resembles a social life, this was no easy task. I can't be sure if I will be doing this again next year, but I know one thing if I do: no zombies. This year was far too zombie heavy.
Final Thoughts:
Besides the gruelingness of the concept, this was a blast. I got to see some really great movies that I doubt I would have seen otherwise. I also was able to rewatch a few of my favorites, but in a different way than I normally do. Unfortunately, as there is always a negative to every positive, I saw far to many movies that were complete, unadulterated crap. But what are you going to do? Maybe next year I'll do more mainstream, obvious movies. Who knows? But, seriously, I watched too many zombie/zombie-like movies then I've ever wanted to. That'll have to change.
* - I gave a test run of this concept last year. I failed. Well, kind of. Yes, during the month of October of '09, I did watch 31 horror/Halloween/creature movies. But I cheated and watched a bunch in mini-marathons. It felt like cheating.
