As most of you know Steve loved watching movies. It was one of the ways we kept in touch all year talking about what was coming out, what did you see, and so on. After Steve lost his battle with Muscular Dystrophy on Christmas Eve 2021, I have really pushed myself to watch movies in his honor. Always looking for challenges to keep me motivated, while looking for things we would have enjoyed together I decided to come up with my own challenge to honor Steve. While keeping it simple by outlining the topics he would have loved.
The rules are simple: try and watch a movie that coincides with that week's theme. Feel free to be loose with the rules. If you miss a week that's ok nobody will be upset if you make it up the following week. The idea is simple: try something new, and think outside the box. That's what Steve and I did for each other.

So sorry to hear about Steve. I know you guys were close. But I am relieved you survived the pandemic. I will attempt to watch something with Steve in mind.
ReplyDeleteThank You it has been a year thats for sure.
DeleteTurns out I have watch Banshees of Inerish, Glass Onion and Everything, Everywhere all at once so I am good on the Golden Globes.
