I’ve been at 97/98% for a while now due to new theatrical releases jumping onto the list on a pretty constant basis. I have recently seen some of the new(er) additions that hit DVD such as Gran Torino, The Wrestler, and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, all of which I liked to varying degrees.

The three films on the current list that I have not seen are: Up, Star Trek, and The Hangover. The Hangover is the kind of movie I tend not to watch by choice. I’m interested in seeing “Up,” but I rarely go see childrens’ films in the theater because . . . well, the theater is full of children! Noisenoisenoisenoisenoise. Did see Finding Nemo three times at the theater though.

At first, I thought there would be some 20 second time period where not one brand new movie would hit the list and I’d be 250/250 and count this done, but after having this goal for as long as I have, I don’t think that will happen. Part of me thinks “Oh just go see them and be done with it all because if you wait, new theatrical movies will come onto the list and you will never see 250/250.” I’d have to go to all three alone. (Sigh.)
