2023 doesn’t sound like a real year. It’s a title card on a science fiction movie, citing a far off year in the future. Hell, X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014) took place in a dystopian 2023. The wasteland established in Terminator 2: Judgment Day is 2029!
What I’m trying to say is that a lot of movies predicted the 2020s for some type of apocalypse and if we’re going to get those long overdue movie watches checked off, we’re going to need to pick up the pace. Watch the movies! We’ll never reach the end of our lists, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try.
Push play.
Stop browsing your 27 streaming services for another limited series and make a conscious decision to watch a great movie.
Unwrap that Blu-ray. Check out the new Sight & Sound list, AFI, BFI. Open up a Danny Peary book and look for a movie you didn’t know about. Listen to podcasts like The Movies that Made Me or Pure Cinema and jot down their recommendations. (The Cinema Shame podcast talks about some good movies, too — I’m just saying.) Open up any movie book and see what shakes out! There are so many ways to approach your year in moviewatching that go beyond mindless scrolling.
Do me a favor.
Right now — go on Twitter or Facebook or Hive or into your neighborhood cafe or wherever you interact with other humans and ask people to tell you some movies they love. These are real humans sharing their love of cinema with you. Pick one of the titles they mention and just watch it. After you watch it, tell them what you thought. Tell that that you watched it. These are simple interactions, but ones that make real connections.
Tag us on your posts at @CinemaShame or #CinemaShame. We definitely want to hear about your adventures in cinema. And if you make the effort to write up your 2023 Shame Statement make that your January movie — your first assignment of the new year. You’ll definitely get a RT and perhaps a mention on the next episode of the Cinema Shame podcast.
To participate in the Shame Statement party, create your list of 12 and post it on your blog or favorite signpost. Cinema Shame will share it. Feel free to add some background details for your picks, such as why you are picking it or the reason you haven’t had to chance to view this particular film. When you watch them, maybe write about your experience. Maybe send a few tweets. Call and tell your mom.
And while you’re here, subscribe to the Cinema Shame podcast wherever podcasts are found: Apple Podcasts / Stitcher Radio / Spotify / Google Podcasts / Amazon Podcasts. This year will be a big year as we’re mixing up the format and adding some more permanent co-hosts. Kris Myers (@kris__myers) and Allan Mott (@houseofglib) will join James (@007hertzrumble) in the Shamequarters.
Take us along on your cinematic journeys — and may we avoid that coming apocalypse by watching great movies instead of plotting our own self-destruction.

Michael is ready for 2020 to be over… Light and entertaining is my goal for this month, movies that will wash over me, release all my stressors and toxins from this crazy year. I’ve heard really good things about Andrzej Zulawski’s “Possesion” maybe it will put be a great way to start the season. Who knows maybe intense horror movies will give me a break from reality. I’m excited for this month, maybe watching “Fade to Black” (streaming on Shudder) last weekend really got me pumped for some horror related cinema. It could be the excitement of only 3 more months left in this year, which I think everyone is excited to close the books on 2020.
So what will be some of my cinema shames for this month? There are a lot of options, horror has been a blindspot but I’ve been working my on it the past few years. Last year I knocked out the Friday the 13th series, excluding the reboot. It had some highs, lot of lows, and parts where the bottom fell out (Jason Takes Manhattan…more like Jason takes a mediocre cruise). I think taking care of the other big horror series, Halloween, would make an interesting comparison. I’ve seen more of the Halloween series than I had thought, so only three I haven’t seen (excluding the Rob Zombie directed ones): “Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers,” “Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers,” and “Halloween: Resurrection.” I got a feeling these are not the cream of the crop. This may be a good time to finally sit down and watch Jordan Peele’s “Us” and this year’s release of “The Invisible Man.” I did notice it might be a good time to finally open the blu-ray copy of Franci Fodrd Coppola’s “Dracula.”
Let us know what you are planning to watch during the month of October. And I’m definitely looking for recommendations. Let us by emailing us at cinemashame@gmail.com or on twitter @CinemaShame.
