Two Down 98 More To Go:
Before I go into why I chose Woody Allen's Manhattan Murder Mystery as my first movie in this project I'd like to take a moment to talk about why I decided to start this blog in the first place. I write this in the hours before the Lost series finale (I'm sure one day I'll look back on this post and think, "Man, that was ages ago and boy were we wrong about that smoke monster."). I started watching Lost in the sixth season with only recaps and Dave's Lost knowledge (and incredible patience) to guide the way. I finally decided to watch not out of curiosity, but because it was a huge pop culture event that I wanted to be a part of and because it would give Dave and me a scheduled time every week in our busy lives that we knew we would see (or at least really try) to see each other. It was our first relationship ritual. I am not sad that Lost is going to be over, but I am sad that our first ritual is coming to an end. Which is part of how this whole idea was born. I wanted a new relationship ritual.
