The Great Meme 2: Movies of 2012
...wherein I attempt to watch new movies this year and see how far I get.
Definitely less intense than the television meme, and I've got a better structure for this one, even, because listing by the day I saw it is pointless.
For the sake of argument, TV movies count (otherwise I would be shelling out ridiculous amounts of money), miniseries do not, and I'm thinking about letting film adaptation of plays count, because they're long enough and also because of the Tennant/Tate Much Ado About Nothing. (Tennant's Hamlet was on stage but filmed as a legitimate movie so hey).
Also, it's my meme and I'm allowed to make the rules.
SO.
