*Rewatches :)

- The ones marked rewatches are mainly only on here because I went out of my way to sit down and watch them, usually because there were others I wanted to watch (like the rest of the X-Men movies) that I hadn't seen.
- Limbo was very strange, but very good. I'm not sure if I talked about it on here after I watched it, can't remember. The kid in it was SO CUTE, too, omg.
- Speaking of cute kids, the guy in Paranoid Park is ridiculously pretty. There's one scene in it that was a little hard for me to watch. It's gory, but it's not like horror story gore, so it's pretty upsetting.
- Yes, you read that right: I had never seen Disney's Snow White before >_________>
- According to that IMDB page, Coming Out is "the first film to come out of East Germany to deal openly with gay issues." I don't remember thinking it was the most amazing movie I had ever seen, but it was good.
- I know comedy routines and all aren't exactly movies, but I counted them anyway :P
- I sort of hesitate to even refer to Exit Through the Gift Shop a documentary since I think it's more of just a movie told through documentary style, but at least there's tons of factual stuff in it about other street artists, like Banksy himself, Shepard Fairey, etc.
- I could SWEAR I saw The Swan Princess when I was younger, but I couldn't remember anything about it, and even when I watched it, nothing seemed familiar!
- I can't believe that after putting myself through The Evil Dead, I still haven't seen the second one, which is supposed to be the best, lol.
- I really only watched Clipping Adam for Evan Peters, and he was probably the best thing about it (along with Louise Fletcher as his grandmother). The acting of the other teens in this was HORRENDOUS, the plot was pretty predictable (although still pretty touching, as it's a relatable subject), and I don't understand wtf was up with the kid obsessed with clipping people's hair, other than using him as a plot device to highlight Adam's obsession with keeping his. Evan was brilliant though, and so pretty. I was worried from the description I'd read that it would be a little more religious than I would be comfortable with, but it wasn't at all.

*Watched current seasons only

Total episodes: 734 @________@ At least it was mostly 1/2 hour shows!

- I still don't know about 2 Broke Girls. I watch it because it's on after HIMYM and I'm usually too lazy to find my remote, lol.
- I'm woefully behind on Terra Nova and Pan Am, and I need to get caught up on Revenge now too, thanks to American Horror Story stealing me away from it XD I'm excited to get caught up on Revenge now though; I was already enjoying it, but I can see more of the Count of Monte Cristo parallels that are there and that's awesome!
