Introducing Antriksh's (Film) Blog

In the last 8 or so years, I have watched and rated at least 1001 films* on IMDb. This covers all my movie-viewing experience to date since about the age of 16, maybe 17. In this time, the thought of writing down movie reviews, perhaps loose thoughts… something, has crossed my mind more than once. Usually, my internal counter argument was that it was too late to start now, that it would always feel somehow incomplete not having a written record of all these years.

Oh well. Hindsight is 20/20. I have grown to enjoy writing more than I ever have, over the last couple of years. And I figured 1001-movies-rated milestone was as good a time as any to embark on this journey.

My other concern was all this becoming a chore. That’s still a concern, honestly. And I’ll need to plan around it. I’ll try my best to pick and choose topics that don’t force me into a schedule, and I should be fine.

I’m getting into this without a solid plan. But at the moment, I feel confident about two things:

1. This will be a collection of essays.
2. Proper movie reviews will likely be uncommon.

At the time of this writing, I have genuinely just finished watching (and rating) 1001 movie titles on IMDb, but because I am unsure how far this will go, I am unlikely to publish this until I have at least one or two essays ready to go.

Just to etch this in stone somewhere:

Film 997: Frozen II
Film 998: Onward
Film 999: Toy Story 4
Film 1000: 2001: A Space Odyssey
Film 1001: Hamilton

* Feature films. Except any I may have genuinely forgotten to rate, but there are likely only a handful of those.
