Now to see if he agrees…..

Here I am procrastinating but hopefully this will all work out for the betterment of all so if that’s not a good enough reason to keep going I don’t know. This all began when my main man suggested to me that we start a classic movie club just he and I. As a couple who generally spend a lot of time at home (2 young kids and my shift pattern doesn’t leave much room for a hectic social life) we watch a lot of tv and watch a lot of movies. However, as a couple we are very different…kinda like an opposites attract but not quite that extreme. This means the movies I like and the movies he likes are often very different and my poor main man is generally the one who gets the short straw and has to watch the chick flicks while I resolutely refuse to watch anything super violent or by Tarantino. So maybe a classic film club just he and I is a good idea….however his first suggestion of basic instinct is a bit suspect given all it’s famous for……..

So I’ve taken this idea and run with it and changed it (not like me at all). I have decided instead that we will make our own top 100 movies picking and choosing from various lists available and that will be our 2019 challenge. Now whether main man realises that this means we will need to watch approximately 2 movies a week in order to achieve this is a whole other matter hence this blog.

Let me explain.

Another way myself and main man differ is I am a binger of movies/tv shows/books anything like that. I have watched many a whole series in one day (first season of lost, the good place, queer eye the list could go on and on). Main man is more of a slow burner kinda guy (we never finished the first season of game of thrones because one episode before the end he decided he “just didn’t fancy it”). So maybe if we have this blog it adds a certain amount of expectation that things need to be done.

There are other elements which I want to bring into this besides just movies but I think this post is long enough and I also have a lot of cleaning to cram into the 1 hour left before I have the pick up the bambinos so here is (hopefully) the start of a new adventure that won’t be life changing but will be entertaining (although depending on what main man picks for his movies we shall see!)
