Last Post Of The Year?

[patentdragon]

Bit sneaky, this entry, as it covers me until next year *grins*, but yesterday, I actually managed to put a dent in a problematic Mission 101 Task, and chalk up another movie for

28 Watch one "classic" film for each month of my Mission (10/33)

namely From Here To Eternity (1953). So many of the movies that fit my criteria are either cowboy movies (which I have no love for) or war films (which I'll watch if they're any good) - this fits in the latter category, but From Here... was good - Frank Sinatra was particularly surprising as the hero's seemingly solitary friend in the world, and the whole setting, Hawai'i prior to Pearl Harbour, melted into the background until the very end as military men show themselves as either all too human, or all too inhuman. Definitely a "war" film for people who don't like war films. 8/10

I could possibly fill my quota for 2010 with some effort tomorrow - I should have sufficient movies "on file" - but naaah. It's not like I have anything special planned for tomorrow night - apart from sitting down with Scott Pilgrim and an onion bhaji sandwich - but I'm not needing any stress. Unlike previous years, we're not expecting anyone for "the bells" on what's going to be the last New Year at this address...

No. NOT going to be as "heavy" as it might sound. Goodbye "Year of Change", hello "Son of Year of Change"...

And finally... Here's a new Task!
