Okay.... so here's the problem about this. I looked at my list and I mean really looked at it. Its faulty. And when I say fault I mean faultier than my internet connection or this site which never let's me on to post (seriously.... I had to confirm my password 4 times before I could get on today... I hate blogger sometimes.) But here's the deal. My zombie movie list has a few movies on there twice under different titles, sometimes under the incorrect title (perhaps a foreign title from before it was dubbed or just the second half of the full title.) and there were three or four movies that I have reviewed that weren't even on the list. Also some of the movies listed well, aren't zombie films. Sure there are the iffy regions like After Sundown, they could have been zombies but they were more likely vampires but it was on the list anyway, and that's one thing. Then there are other movies though.... like The Bunker. That is not in fact a zombie film at all.
Thanks to the list being well, you know, I thought maybe I could just find another list online. I WAS WRONG. The only complete list of every zombie movie that I have found was from wikipedia (which is iffy enough) but it had all the same problems mine did but there were about 5 times as many movies. So I looked at this outrageous number and decided I would consult the only thing I could..... my contract.
Now for those of you who are new on my blog let me give a little refresher course, I signed a contract in February 2010 saying that by the end of January 2011 I would have watched the entire list of zombie movies. So I went back to see the exact wording of it. It said I would watch all 322 zombie movies by February 1st 2011. You see my problem? The list that I signed my contract for was different than the list I started the blog with (which if you remember had 517 movies on it)
This entire blog was built on a crumbling foundation.
So here's the deal, November's almost over and that means I have two months left. I'm going to a different school now and am no longer in contact with the friend that gave me the original list or the people I was going to get a trophy from. I have no way of making a new list that has any accuracy and no way of getting the original list.
What am I going to do?
I am going to leave it up to you guys. Let me first summarize the situation and then I'll give my options, then my email so you can send me your opinions.
Situation: I started this for the prize and realized it was more for the experience than the journey. Well, now I'm not getting a prize and the experience is becoming more stressful than enlightening since I have less time now and no list to cross things off of, I'm seriously doubting whether or not it's worth it.
OPTIONS:
1) I'm reluctant to say I gave up on the list but I could "resign" my post from this task until further notice (meaning I get a new list or find something else stupid to do). Keep in mind that once I have stopped working on My Year Among the Undead I will be free to do other kind of reviews. I could finally start mt B-Horror movie reviews (which is why I was picked for this in the first place) or do a Free on Netflix review. "resigning" this task would leave me time to do more stuff like that.
2) I could finish out with the movies I have in my Netflix queue and call it quits. That's a majority of the zombie movies as well as a majority of the movies on the list and as far as finishing goes I think it's as close as I'll be able to get.
3) Something else.
4) That's right I didn't really have a third one but if you can think of something else you can send it to me instead of a vote for one of these two things.
