Queue Chaos Management

My Netflix queue was at ::gasp:: 334 movies!!! 334! There is absolutely no way I can humanly watch that many movies in the forseeable future. When I'm in school, I usually watch comfort shows and films for respit (usually repitions) and an ocassional new film (or old as it usually is the case). When I'm out of school, I try to devour as many films as I can. But my queue of taped films (those movies not available on DVD) AND my Netflix queue are overwhelming me.

So what did I do today? I cleared out my Netflix queue. I blindly took everything out and added 10 titles I really want to see. My queue is now clear for the addition of films I really want to see and those that were personally recommended to me. And this way these films don't get lost in the chaotic shuffle of my too long queue.

Anyone else have this problem? An itchy "Add" trigger finger? The constant need to add to your own to-be-watched list?

Here are the 10 movies now on my new shortened queue:

1. The Waitress (2007)
2. White Christmas (1954)
3. Whirlpool (1959)
4. The Bourne Ultimatum (2007)
5. The Treasure of Sierra Madre (1948)
6. Blowup (1966)
7. The Americanization of Emily (1964)
8. 300 (2007)
9. The Condemned (2007)
10. A Night at the Opera (1935)

Breaking the Code Boxed Set: Final!

Yay! It's so pretty. When I printed it out, pasted it together and assembled it I did a special happy dance of joy! I presented it last night to the class, with awesome results. Let's hope I get an A!

Check out my slideshow to your right. It contains an album of all the pieces of my project.

Breaking the Code Boxed Set: Web Banner

The web banner is complete. And I have to say, I'm really happy with it. The whole concept is Christmas/Winter and that the boxed set is the perfect gift if you've run out of ideas of what to get someone. I love it. I ashamedly stole the snowflakes off a particular website. Eek! I hope they don't find out.

Breaking the Code Boxed Set: Booklet

The booklet is complete! Since this is probably the most complex out of the 4 parts of the project, I'm very happy that its done. My project due date is Tuesday the 18th, so I'll be working on the boxed set slipcase and web banner until then!

I couldn't include the last spread because its an advertisement for a particular channel's website. On that last spread I suggest 6 other controversial classics from the 1960's. These include: A Patch of Blue (1965), The Children's Hour (1961), The Americanization of Emily (1964), Blow-Up (1966) , Lolita (1962) and Pressure Point (1962).
