I don't have very many items to update as I've somehow been really rather busy lately, but I find the mega-posts after a week's worth of goals a little overwhelming and possibly slightly hurried. I was reviewing my list just now, though, and there are quite a few goals that should be completed this summer. I need to come up with 51 more, too. Arf.
022. (Re)watch each of AFI's Top 100 Movies - (010/100)
I took the opportunity of an unseasonably cold, gray, and blustery day to settle in and watch #91, Sophie's Choice (1982). I was entirely entranced by Meryl Streep from start to finish... simply could not.stop.watching her. The film was horrifying, touching, heartbreaking... and I loved every bit of it. I find it so rare to be truly touched by a movie - I tend to (unwittingly) keep a jaded distance from the story and characters when watching a film, as opposed to my complete immersion in books, so I was possibly caught a little off guard by how moved I was. I can not believe that AFI placed this one almost a full 10 spots lower than Titanic, which I am NOT looking forward to having to endure again. I might have to download the Rifftrax for that one, just so you know...
