TBWCYL Day 73 - Collection

Today's task was not something I need to do. With a collection of comic books that hovers over 7500 strong, the last thing I wanted to read when I opened 'The Book' up to page 73 was "Get A Hobby". There was a list of hobbies to choose from, of which 'Count other peoples teeth' and 'Organize Fires' were just a couple.

So, I decided to go for the hobby on the list that wouldn't cost me anything, 'Set out to see all films with Morgan Freeman'. Luckily, not only have I already put a big dent in this hobby over the last 20 years, but I also have Netflix so I won't have to spend any money to work on this. So, below is every film that IMDB lists to have Morgan Freeman as a cast member of it. I took out all of the TV episodes he has been in and left me with 73 film, a few of which have yet to be released.

The titles in Bold are ones I have seen and any with an * are ones I own. It does strike me as odd that Morgan Freeman made so many movies with Ashley Judd. I guess he didn't learn from his mistakes.

That is all,

Organise fires? Isn't that Arson? :/

My prediction: You will be sick of the sight of Morgan Freeman within a fortnight

How can you get sick of him. He has that grandpa quality that makes me just want to give him a hug and listen to all of the insight that he has to offer in life. I want to be his Andy Dufresne.

Girl Interrupted said...

Hmm ... fair point.

(Shawshank is arguably one of the best films ever made IMO)

Ok, new prediction: You will be sick of the sight of Ashley Judd within a week ... no, wait ... make that 2 days
