Untitled — 2 years ago

Why the heck is Predator on this list? I’d hardly call that a “movie you’ve never heard of”.


Done! — 3 years ago

And completed a bit over a year later.


Halfway Done — 4 years ago

Added the first half of this list in order to burn off nervous energy during the Pats/Chargers game. Second half to come during the second half, I suspect.
