Lazy layout for now!
I have a very hard time watching movies, especially live-action ones. My
brain and attention span are much more suited to cartoons and shorter media.
I can watch 6 episodes of a cartoon in a row much more easily than I can
convince myself to sit down and watch even a single movie. However, there
are lots of movies I would like to watch eventually! Here is a partial list
of them! The green boxes are movies I've crossed off my list, and the blue
boxes are ones I still haven't seen.
I am by no means a movie buff (as explained above lol), so please don't get
mad if I mislabel genres or don't explain the movie very well. They are in
no particular order, either. Also, some of these movies might be a little
intense! Be safe and informed if you decide to watch any of them!
