Summer of movies...
It's the summer of movies for us, I've decided. We have not only watched 2 movies in the theater in the last few months, but joined Netflix. This goes way beyond our usually amount of movie viewing.
I decided that the best way to keep track of these was to tag the videos as I add them from amazon: Theater and Netflix. That makes it easy!
I had been tracking this type of thing at collectics, one of my MT blogs. But it's SO much easier to use Vox. I just can't see spending the time to make collectics continue to work with MTAmazon (the old version) that keeps timing out on me anyhow. (one of the saddest things about giving collectics up for the most part is that i love the design there!) I am curious about the netflix plugin suite, so I'll probably play with it, but right now, it's just easiest to add them here!
So why is this so unusual that we would watch so many movies? Well, when I was sick, I just didn't have the energy to sit in a theater for 2 hours. So we stopped going. And that kind of just continued on even once I was doing better. And during the TV season, I generally have SO many series I want to watch that I don't have time to fit movies in. It's so fun to be back in the movie/date mode!
I'm not sure if we'll continue with Netflix even once the new TV season starts. But it sure is fun right now, and we definitely are getting our money's worth right now (5 movies so far since Memorial day weekend when we signed up).

I haven't had my feedreader active for a long time, but shouldn't you be able to continue with collectics by pulling the relevant feeds from Vox?
That is what I am planning on playing with when 3.3 with feed-apps-lite is released, that is if I am still not able to get MediaManager to work.
Yep Sara, I'd at least pull my media feeds from here over to kadyellebee. Not sure if I'd bother with pulling it into collectics though!
I'm already doing that using a php script (magpie) to make kadyellebee show info from 5 blogs :) Feed-apps-lite might do that, too, I haven't played with any plugins for so long, maybe I should check it out!
Every summer is a summer of movies for me. In fact you could say my life is just one big season of movies. I have had a revolving door of Netflix movies coming in for 2 years now. I also am a big time movie goer. That has increased the last 3 years as I have a family member who works there and can get me in for free.
