Reason? Who said anything about reason?

An Organized Randomization

I was asked last night if the films that I review are simply random viewings done by a roll of a die.  I informed my inquisitive friend that my choices are random, but there is somewhat of an organization to it all.

My wife and I have accumulated a large number of DVDs over the years and we keep them in one of three large binders in an attempt to organize them all.  At times I will take a smaller DVD carrying case and pick 10 films that I would like to watch in the near future.  They are a mix of films that I love, ones that I have forgotten about and others that I have simply never seen.


Aside from my DVD collection I have also done a lot of searching on Netflix for films that intrigue me, but I do not want to go out and buy them.  Netflix is smart enough to have "My List" where I can add and organize the films that I want to see.  Using these two methods I have a huge selection of films that I am interested in and I can watch at any time.



As many may have noticed, I do go to the cinema quite a bit too.  I enjoy the experience of going to the theater and spending an evening with a crowd of people watching a big movie screen.  I always attend with my wife, so the movies I watch on the big screen are usually animated or produced by Disney in one way or another.  The theater experience is by far my preferred method of consuming film.


That is a brief explanation of my method and madness.  I hope that helps.
