@joelwmusic: update: had everything to do with that. Got on the free trial by accident and that doesn’t allow you to download. Got off of that and all is well

Got an issue that started yesterday where I can’t download some of the videos. Don’t know if it had anything to do with my subscription lapsing. But I re-upped and now certain videos will download and certain videos won’t. Bombcast wouldn’t. Astroneer wouldn’t. Now Mass Alex won’t. However, we be trucking did and red dead is going now and the aftermath.

I never noticed how much the humans also looked like toys. Especially SId's sister *shudder

Not much to say about Toy Story. I never realized Joss Whedon helped write it. So that kind of blew my mind. I still adore Toy Story. I was laughing at every little thing again like I did when I was 6. But I'm ready to keep going to see movies I haven't seen. Which means it's time for Yankee Doodle Dandy with my first view of Blade Runner close behind.

Moving on to #99! A movie I was old enough to see upon its release. I'm about to re-watch Toy Story!

This is the Top 100 Greatest American Movies Endurance Run based on this list:

I did it. I watched #100 on the list and, good lord you guys, that was freakin' awesome. Ben Hur had so much going for it. I got about halfway through it before I figured out what was making it feel so impactful. The moments of silence. I don't know if this is accurate or not but movies nowadays don't let moments breathe like this movie does. So much staring but the tension is so good. Sure, that's probably why the movie is 4 hours long. That and the 20 minute overture. As a Christian I feel kind of ashamed that I've never seen this before as it ties so closely to my faith, but I think the movie stands on its own and I didn't start this list to preach to anyone. I have more thoughts but I kind of want to see where the discussion goes. Did anyone watch or have any thoughts that you can remember about it?

Yea I was tired of waiting on a possible 20 year anniversary list.

Don't know about all of them, but I will try and track down other means if that doesn't work.

renting on Amazon. 4 dollars. can download on phone at work. got a hookup to play on tv. Not the greatest solution but it will do.

Also, I have no Idea how long this will take. I don't want to draw it out too long but i can't see me doing more than 1 or (MAYBE) 2 a week.

I'm watching the Top 100 Movies according to this list:

http://www.filmsite.org/afi100films_2007.html

I would like to have some conversations about them as I go. Why is it on the list? Does it still work today? What makes it good? Stuff like that.

I'm starting at 100 so over the next week or so if you can carve out a chunk of time please watch Ben Hur

P.S. if you don't have time to watch and/or rewatch that doesn't mean you can't chat in here. I just don't want to be alone. Lol

P.P.S. My start date is hinging on whenever my girlfriend finishes binging Orange is the New Black, but based on her dedication we should be able to watch the first movie this weekend.
