Yes, it's that time again, where you're challenged to see how deeply you can delve into your DVD Collection. The guidelines, once again, are as follows:
1. The goal of the challenge is to watch EVERY SINGLE TITLE in your collection (Extras are optional, but, like commentaries, are encouraged).
3. Commentaries are optional (but encouraged).
4. Television titles are excluded from the challenge (movies only folks... watch TV on your own time).
5. The CHALLENGE shall begin at 12:01am on January the 1st, 2008 and end at 11:59 on December the 31st, 2008.
6. This is to track theatrical releases only.
Those are the only guidelines. Use this thread to keep track of the titles you watch. Reserve your place in the thread and then just update that post with each film. Some have much larger collections and can't get through it, so they my decide to skip the extras and just do the films. That's entirely up to you. This is just for fun. No prizes involved if you finish. Just the satisfaction of knowing you watched 'em all. Enjoy.
Link to this thread in your signatures if you would like.
Once again, I'll just be trying to keep up with my 2008 acquisitions. (*) = 2008 acquisition; (#) means reviewed for digitallyObsessed.com.
