MEMES:10 Days of TV· ThemedParty · Top 20 Most Attractive · Top 10 Buffy the Vampire Slayer Episodes · IMDB Top 250

This year (2012) my sister and I have pledged to watch every movie in the IMDB 250 movies list. Naturally this went from simply watching them to making graphics for them and rating them ourselves. Of course we haven’t done them in order but oh well.

So, links:
