I have set some basic guidelines for my 500 films goal:

1. At least 300 of the films I watch have to be movies I have never seen before, even as a child

2. I must write at least 100 words about every film I watch

3. I may choose the films I watch at my own discretion, however, if someone (other than a Chapman Professor) suggests a film for me to watch AND provides me with a copy of said film, I then MUST watch and write about that film.
