Day 71: Things have gone downhill...

Going into Easter, I had a lot of momentum. Weight was coming off, walking was going well....

Easter candy was my downfall.  Once I started down the Eastery candy road, I couldn't stop. This led to stomach issues, which led to skipping walking on some days.  It was bad.  Hopefully I can get back on track starting now.

I only watched 3 movies during the last week or so.  Having watched the Star Wars Rebels, and having listened to the newAMC Jedi Council podcast (which is excellent) I decided to rewatch the Star Wars movies.  So I watched the original Star Wars: A New Hope.  It is the new special editions, so that was not as good, but that movie is still amazing.

I was then going to watch the Empire Strikes Back and two things happened.  First the NCAA Final Four came on, so I watched that Saturday while I walked.  I watched the first game in 10 minutes.  The second game between Kentucky and Wisconsin was a classic and took about an hour of walking to watch.  Then Monday night I watched the first half while walking.

Second, they announced that the Star Wars movies were coming to digital platforms.  I immediately put in my pre-order and decided to wait until April 10th to continue the Star Wars movies.

I did get to watch Cinderella (the orginal animated movie) with my kids.  I did happen to watch Cinema Sins "everything wrong with Cinderella" YouTube video the day before this.  Highly recommend watching both of these things.

Finally I watched 2007's There Will Be Blood with Daniel Day Lewis.  This performance was amazing.  He could very well be the greatest actor of right now, and possibly of all time.  I kept hearing this from numerous movie podcasts and I kept thinking "That guy from Last of the Mohicans?"  Yes. He is simply mesmorizing in this move.

Overall
Star Wars gets a 285 out of 291.
Cinderella gets a 200 out of 293.
There Will Be Blood gets a 280 out of 292.
