I would see a movie, and eventually the ticket would make its way into my drawer. In my Arrested Development<\/I> fuelled “Alex Vista” excavation of 2009, I cleared them out and entered them into Excel. 89 tickets later (that’s including both Sydney and Japanese Film Festivals), it’s not right! I can’t have seen nothing in January! I recall that, just as Bolt<\/I> was my first movie of 2009, I Am Legend<\/I> was my first of 2008 (preliminarily, I’m saying 2009 has set a better precedent).<\/p>\n
In the Final Push tomorrow (or “Once More Unto the Breach”, if you will), I will attempt to liberate January and a few others besides. I mean, 2008 wasn’t 2008 without Juno<\/I>, There Will Be Blood<\/I>, Atonement<\/I> (also a 2007 movie for me!), No Country For Old Men<\/I> (again, a crossover year hit), Charlie Wilson’s War<\/I> or even Kung Fu Panda<\/I>. Those are just the ones I remember<\/I>! This cannot rest!<\/p>\n
I’m doing this for you<\/I>, faithful reader. But seriously, you can stop holding your breath. Self-inflicted brain damage isn’t a good look.<\/p>\n

I made a vague resolution that 2009 would be my exciting year of reinvention, which included kicking Batrock into shape and making it a consistent and entertaining website that I can eventually use to enslave thousands of fans and get them to do my bidding.
