70) Cat People. During the planning stages of the project, I was a little concerned about being able to find that many movies that I hadn't seen, but as it turns out I could probably just watch Turner Classics all day long and that would cover it. And I really wouldn't mind only watching TCM either. This was a totally weird movie from the 40s, but I enjoyed watching it anyway. I'm not sure about the whole "allegory of sexual repression" angle, cause if that's the case it just doesn't really work. But I did like that they never actually showed her turning into the monster or even really gave you a definite idea that she was one until the very end. There were also some genuinely spooky sequences (the first time she follows Alice especially) , so for the time it was made and released I'd say this was pretty darn good.

70 down, 930 to go.

I started watching Berlin Express last night but never got a chance to finish it. Charity came over and I think she was bored to tears watching it, so I stopped it and we watched The Gilmore Girls instead. Van called right as it was finishing and we talked for a pretty good while and after he hung up I watched One Tree Hill. It was strange to watch though. After the winter hiatus I didn't really even care to watch it anymore. I just didn't care about any of it, so I think I might drop it from the rotation. Haley's sister is completely hot though. Anyway, after OTH I started in on Berlin Express again but I couldn't keep my eyes open so I'll have to finish it tonight.

Foolish Side Project Update: Monday night I was too tired to start another movie so I put in the first episode of Alias's second season. I barely managed to stay awake for the whole episode, so I might start back in on the foolish side project, just watching an episode a night or something.
