So, I have a system when it comes to movies. It's completely pathetic and doesn't make any sense, but it is what it is. Whenever I discover a movie I love, I watch it over and over and over again until it completely takes over every part of my life. It seems as though somewhere deep within my twisted, insane psyche, I can not be content until my latest movie love fulfills all of my senses. Once I have gotten to a point where I sleep, eat, drink, dream, quote, physicalize and whatever else is needed can I finally move on to something else. And not just the content in the movie, but also all the information surrounding the movie: the producers, directors, actors, making of, history of the story, creation, and any number of worthless knowledge I'll never be able to apply to real life. There also is no rhyme or reason to how this happens--it doesn't even have to be a new movie; it doesn't even have to be a movie I have never seen. Sometimes I see ridiculously old movies--a silent, a film noir, a Golden Age musical; movies which everyone else was over one, two, three, five years earlier; or even movies I have seen before but only realize when watching it later how much I really do love it . . . and then the system of obsession begins. It's very freakish. Above are some of my current movie obsessees.
