The end of the semester can’t come soon enough. There are no less than 20 films that have either been released recently or will be out by the end of the year that I really want to see. I’m well aware that some of these were said to have sucked (like God of War and Elizabethtown) but I don’t care. I’ve seen Julie Taymor’s Titus twice in the last four days and I want some awesome films now!
My current in-theater (or by the end of the year) top 20:

1. The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
2. Memoirs of a Geisha
3. Wallace and Gromit
4. King Kong
5. Aeon Flux
6. The Ice Harvest
7. Syriana
8. Capote
9. Everything is Illuminated
10. Good Night, and Good Luck
11. Shopgirl
12. The Family Stone
13. The Producers
14. The New World
15. Munich
16. Casanova
17. Elizabethtown
18. Jarhead
19. God of War
20. Proof

Not to mention the new Muppet Wizard of Oz, which is out on DVD, or the fourth season of Batman: The Animated Series… And the complete collected Buffy: The Vampire Slayer and Friends boxed sets…
Mmmmm, yes. Remarkable how I’ve been studying this stuff all semester and the first thing I want to do once I’m freed from all of this paperage is consume more media.
