My year of DVDs

So it has come to this. My Opus, my grand triumph in blogging. From this Thursday to next December, I'll be watching and writing about one of my DVDs. Eventually, almost every disc I own will be covered.

Before I start, here are the rules:

1. Special Features Discs are not counted.
2. As The Simpsons Season 1, Disc 3 is one episode, and the rest special features, "Some Enchanted Evening" will be watched at the same time as Disc 2.
3. For The West Wing Seasons 1-3, Each side counts as one disc.
4. Discs will be watched on Monday, Thursday, and Saturday normally, although there is no formal pattern other than three posts a week.
5. Gettysburg and Gods & Generals each count as one disc, even though both are double sided.
6. The order has been chosen by random, except for two exceptions:
a. Primary Colors will be watched on Feb 4, Ahead of Super-Duper Tuesday. Unless Amazon doesn't get it here by then. In that case, it will take its place in the rotation.
b. Due to their length, Gods & Generals and Gettysburg will be moved to the nearest Saturday to their random position.
7. TV Shows that will be included: The West Wing, Futurama, The Simpsons (Seasons 1-10), 30 Rock (Season 1), Star Wars: The Clone Wars (Vol. 1), Arrested Development, Band of Brothers
8. Movies that will be included: Star Wars: I-VI, Star Trek II, Star Trek: First Contact, Network, Letters from Iwo Jima, Superbad, Ratatouille, Little Miss Sunshine, Syriana, Good Night & Good Luck, Glory, Gettysburg, Gods & Generals, The Simpsons Movie, Futurama: Bender's Big Score, The Big Lebowski, Hudsucker Proxy, Fargo, Raising Arizona, Idiocracy, Office Space, South Park: Bigger, Longer, & Uncut, Team America: World Police, Jurassic Park 1-3

The fun begins on Thursday with Disc 2, Side B of The West Wing: Season One.
