10 Sitcoms

Sitcoms have one way or another been a huge part of my life.  In some cases they have just been time-wasters, distractions and procrastinating tools.  But others have had a huge effect in my life, if only for the way that they have influenced how I act.  Because of Seinfeld I went through a phase of ridiculous shouting, because of HNTLYL I went through a phase of slapping/stroking people.  Behaviour that for me is quite hilarious, at the very least in a 3rd-person, detached from myself sort-of-way, but actually is quite antisocial and very rude.  Kind of charming, but in other ways completely obnoxious.  I also think that I got my falling in love with unattainable girls flaw from sitcoms, but I can't quite place where that would fit with which sitcom right now.  (Perhaps Samantha Who? There was a girl at my university who had the same hair as Samantha Newly.  I asked her out but she kept fobbing me off.. Her loss, or so I tell myself)

10 Movies I haven't seen but want to or should do

This is not a mission statement.  I don't have a mission. There are very few things in life that I am sure about, let alone a mission. I am a reluctant blogger, and I am not even sure how much I will follow this up, but I will try and post an update every week. Let's see how long that can continue for.  This half-arsed list, demonstrative of my half-arsed desires, is perhaps a good place to start with.  These are all films I have at one point expressed a desire (even if only inside my own head) to watch.  Perhaps this blog can become a document of my own commitment and boredom.

The Godfather Part 2
Inglourious Basterds
Breathless (A Bout de Souffle)
Lady Vengeance
Citizen Kane
A Clockwork Orange
Eight and a half
Tron
Indiana Jones
Mean Streets
