The Bomb Shelter

Internet Movie Database

I've been spending a great deal of time on the IMDB lately.

One of my buddies, Dr. Teeth, has been trying to get fired from his day job for a few weeks now, and to pass the time he decided to compile a list of every movie he's ever seen. Well, that's not entirely true. His girlfriend asked him to do it, and he's just using the free time he's giving himself at work to do it.

Anyway, long story short, a whole bunch of us are now following in his footsteps to see just how many movies we've ever seen.

I'm actually quite disappointed. I started in 1960, and by 1981 I'm only at maybe eighty or so movies. Granted, I have seen some movies from before 1960, and I'm not yet going through foreign films, but I still thought I'd seen more movies then that.

On the other hand, I'm coming across movies that I have seen that I'd have never thought to list if I was going just by memory. Like, say, Condorman. Or The Jerk.

So this is my tip of the hat to the Internet Movie Database. If anyone ever wants to follow in the insanity and list every movie they've ever seen for their own peace of mind, it's definately the place to check.

Just try not to get distracted by all the porn titles.
