I ended up with around 80 categories or so, and since I figured I would be doing one a week to go with weekly book reviews and hike descriptions that was plenty to keep me going.<br /><br />Since then I have added more as they occurred to me. I'm now at 125, although I have to admit I have not been able to come up with at least three movies I would recommend for some of them, so the actual number would be lower.<br /><br />I originally intended to have the readers of the blog pick the next category, but changed that plan when no one voted even after hundreds of views. Since then I've just picked the next category I've felt like writing about. Maybe if I get enough followers I'll try the voting thing again.<br /><br />In regards to Shutter Island - I saw the trailer and said I bet X happens. A couple of neighbors told me they had gone to see it. I told them what I thought was going to happen and asked them to just tell me if I was right or not, with no other details in case I saw it. They said I was right. Since then I've never bothered to sit down to watch it.Chipnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048087291064672035.post-43228101756377121652011-08-22T12:00:26.562+08:002011-08-22T12:00:26.562+08:00chip - thats a lot of planned categories. i also s...chip - thats a lot of planned categories. i also spotted shutter island though, within 5 minutes. the movie was incredibly dull after that.blahblahblah Tobyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13370451386116555733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048087291064672035.post-13282492891924976972011-08-20T04:20:35.959+08:002011-08-20T04:20:35.959+08:00One of the hundred plus planned categories I have ...One of the hundred plus planned categories I have is titled "Twists I Did Not See Coming." Dead Again would be one of them. Widow's Peak, Shattered, Unbreakable, and The Crying Game would be others. You may be wondering where movies like The Sixth Sense, The Usual Suspects, Fight Club, and other famous twist movies are. Well, I figured those out. <br /><br />I don't sit there and try to second guess a movie; for whatever reason my brain just comes out with where I think things will go. I used to score really high on pattern recognition tests (you know, "what number is the next in the sequence?") Perhaps I recognize patterns in the movie itself, or patterns from watching other movies.<br /><br />Heck, I figured out Fight Club and Shutter Island from their trailers. I have to credit having seen The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1919) for the latter.Chipnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048087291064672035.post-55630347489702181552011-08-17T23:33:13.640+08:002011-08-17T23:33:13.640+08:00perhaps a top 5 twists list for you some time chip...perhaps a top 5 twists list for you some time chip?blahblahblah Tobyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13370451386116555733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048087291064672035.post-24872980533636524862011-08-17T23:26:53.315+08:002011-08-17T23:26:53.315+08:00I saw Dead Again back when it first came to video....I saw Dead Again back when it first came to video. In fact, it was the first movie I ever saw Branagh and Thompson in. I didn't even know that they were British because they play Americans in the movie.<br /><br />I enjoyed the movie a lot. It made me watch for other movies by the two of them.<br /><br />And I also enjoyed the fact that the movie had not one, but two reveals that I did not see coming. Trust me, when you're watching movies with others and they can't even see what's going to happen in movies like Fight Club, it can get frustrating. To have a movie that's not obvious about its twist is refreshing.Chipnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048087291064672035.post-86500447062793555542011-06-21T10:11:51.391+08:002011-06-21T10:11:51.391+08:00no worries erin/initforthekills so long as i'm...no worries erin/initforthekills so long as i'm clear it shouldn't confuse my brain in future.<br /><br />ahmad - you are my first spam comment, congratulations. i feel like a real blogger now.blahblahblah Tobyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13370451386116555733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048087291064672035.post-78305559223094362832011-06-20T13:26:46.590+08:002011-06-20T13:26:46.590+08:00look up for latest movies review and trailers in y...look up for latest movies review and trailers in your cinema this June<br />here : http://adf.ly/1nuFqGMIEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01736313954074733342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048087291064672035.post-43298536533812035972011-06-19T10:46:06.491+08:002011-06-19T10:46:06.491+08:00I apologize, I did name/url the first time and wor...I apologize, I did name/url the first time and wordpress the second.Erinhttp://initforthekills.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048087291064672035.post-76354206778296969932011-06-19T07:49:30.681+08:002011-06-19T07:49:30.681+08:00hold on. you're the same person with multiple ...hold on. you're the same person with multiple id's?blahblahblah Tobyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13370451386116555733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048087291064672035.post-63622478264055954022011-06-19T07:47:36.214+08:002011-06-19T07:47:36.214+08:00thank you and welcome initforthekills. it's no...thank you and welcome initforthekills. it's not the costumes per se, crimson petal and the white is a different sort of period drama and i wanted to watch that. it may be my rebellion against the english upbringing but austen and bronte and dickens just make my head want to hide under a pillow. but yeah she wrote it and alan rickman is always high quality - see die hard for example! - so i'd rather watch her version than the one with keira knightley.blahblahblah Tobyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13370451386116555733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048087291064672035.post-84976068283220656232011-06-19T07:38:36.210+08:002011-06-19T07:38:36.210+08:00She was funny in a dry sort of way.

Now I'm afraid to watch it again because it might not be as good as I remembered it.
