Books, Movies, TV Shows, Obsessions 2010
What I've been watching in 2010
Welcome to my list of everything I've been reading and watching in 2010. This is the first time I've done a list on LJ like this (*is nervous at the newness*) so I'm not sure how it will go. I watch so many films and tv shows it may end up impossible chronicling them all. But I will watch and read pretty much anything so if there's anything you think I might like, comment and let me know :D.
My Rating System (which is out of 10 because 5 wasn't enough):
10: Everyone in the world needs to experience it RIGHT NOW, I will love it forever, and I am in the process of founding a cult devoted to it.
9: Writing the fan fiction as we speak. Excellent and made of awesome.
8: Reading fan fiction. Pretty damn good. A solid piece of work.
7: Enjoyable for the most part, despite weaknesses. I probably won't be reading any fan fiction.
6: Okay, but I wouldn't want to watch it again.
5: The fan fiction is better than the original. Disappointing.
4: A bit crap.
3: Terrible.
2: Approaching meltdown.
1: BURN IT!
What I have decided to do with TV shows is do an average per month and then I will do an average over the year per show per season. Because I got to the end of January rating each episode I'd seen and I already hit #030.
