Greetings Salutations and Good Morning!
Welcome to The Bumblebee ProtocolBrought to you by the nearest Band Name Generator (Story coming soon!)
In 2009 almost everyone I knew who had a Facebook account was using the Living Social application to take mini quizzes (memes) about almost every topic imaginable. These quizzes were insanely popular because not only could you tell the world, for example, what kind of superhero you were, but you could create your own quiz for your friends to take. By August of that same year it had reached fever pitch. I couldn’t log onto Facebook without seeing quiz after quiz from every single one of my friends.
Which Character on House M.D. Are You?
What Color is Your Aura?
What Animal Are You?
Initially I was against these quizzes, mostly due to privacy issues, but also because they were a giant fad and I had better things to do with my time. (Like write my thesis). However after some exploring I found a few quizzes I thought I could relate to and I also didn’t see anyone else posting them. One of these was a documentary type application where you list the last five movies you watched.
So at the end of August I posted my first batch of movies. It was then that I got the idea to keep track of what movies I watched for an entire year. I would post them on Facebook as well as write them down on paper (just in case Facebook screwed up). After a year had come and gone and I looked at my list, I noticed a few things:

Which Character on House M.D. Are You?

Initially I was against these quizzes, mostly due to privacy issues, but also because they were a giant fad and I had better things to do with my time. (Like write my thesis). However after some exploring I found a few quizzes I thought I could relate to and I also didn’t see anyone else posting them. One of these was a documentary type application where you list the last five movies you watched.
So at the end of August I posted my first batch of movies. It was then that I got the idea to keep track of what movies I watched for an entire year. I would post them on Facebook as well as write them down on paper (just in case Facebook screwed up). After a year had come and gone and I looked at my list, I noticed a few things:
- I’ll watch pretty much any movie except for ‘chick flicks’ (there are a few notable exceptions)
- I only watched one movie more than once (marked with a #)
- If I haven’t seen a movie before, and it interests me, the 'critics' tend to have no influence on my final decision. (again exceptions always exist)
- Except for three movies on this list, (marked with *) all of the movies were either viewed in the comfort of my own home, or with friends in their homes.
- The three movies marked with a * were viewed in the theater.
