Keep them coming. Soon I will come up with a plan of what I'm gonna do. I'm leaning towards just doing simple stuff like top 5s, quizzes, etc for now, until the new year or so, and then kick off some new lists, like Hitchcount and the Alphabet project, in 2008. Unless inspiration strikes me. Stay tuned. I’m loving all these ideas. Keep them coming. Soon I will come up with a plan of what I’m gonna do.

The task was to watch a movie whose title started with a specific letter and work my way through the alphabet. And I tried not to pick obvious choices and I never picked a movie I had already seen.

I will implement some of these ideas over the next week or so. Excellent; I knew I could rely on you.

You could even give people a reason to visit daily, if you chose to reveal your picks one each weekday. Something else you should do is a top 10 movies of the new millenium so far.

I'm liking the Hitchcount idea a lot, but I might put it off until the new year, and work some of them into my Resolutions. I know you think TV sucks, but I might have to write a couple of things next month when the new season kicks off. As for random stuff, I like those ideas of random reviews, stuff I'm looking forward to, etc. What do you think of doing a top 5 every week or so? Then I could get user participation too, and we could get some discussion going... Those are all excellent suggestions, Ze.

I've seen 27 of them so far, and there's always something completely amazing in every single one. TV sucks, but you already know that. Quizzes are good if you're giving away prizes :P Other than that, just keep the posts coming, so people won't lose interest. Simple stuff like a random thought on whatever or a screenshot + quote of a movie you love are always nice. Also random, simple thoughts on the movies you watch wouldn't take you as much time as page-long reviews (though you should still write them when you think the movie merits one). How about a "looking forward to..." section? I never know what's coming up. Surely, you can make it work. Hitchcount would be awesome, because really, they’re all worth watching.
