A new year means new year's resolutions. While many choose to resolve to quit smoking, eat healthier, exercise more or whatever else, I've chosen a different route. I figure a resolution is basically just a goal you wish to achieve for the year, so I've made a couple goals for myself.
Resolution #1: Read (at least) 60 books this year. This sounds kind of steep and personally I don't know if I'll achieve this or not but I'm going to try. I read a lot but not as much as I should. I'm going to push myself to achieve this goal.
Resolution #2: Watch 150 movies (I haven't seen before). I don't know if I'm going to have a problem making this goal a reality as I've already watched 10 since the start of the year, but I'm going to do it. This one may make the reading 60 books goal a little more challenging but whatever.
-Within this resolution I'd like to achieve another goal. When I watch films from certain directors I like to seek out their other films and watch them all. I have one more film to watch for Andrei Tarkovsky, and I am currently working my way through the works of Werner Herzog, I hope to finish both this year.
-I will watch Das Boot this year, just you wait and see! All 5 hours of it.
Resolution # 3: Complete a film of my own. I don't care what it is, if it's good or if it sucks, I want to finish something.
-I aim to finish the film I'm making with my iPhone.
-I want to adapt my recently written short story and possibly film it.
Well, that about wraps up my resolutions. It should be pretty fun to try an achieve them. What are some of your resolutions? Any film related? Let me know!
My resolutions are to quit nicotine completely (which has been going alright), to eat healthier and to exercise more often. Reading more is definitely something I'm going to add to that list.
