I Made a Movie Montage

“If you can paint, I can walk. Anything can happen, don’t you think?”

You might remember that I made a television montage last year to lead into The Television Project: 100 Favorite Shows. I decided to do the same for my favorite movies. I haven’t decided if I’m going to write essays for them yet. Right now, it’s just video editing because that relaxes me. YouTube blocked it, but you can click on any word in this sentence to watch it, if you’re interested. I’ll also just paste the link below as is. If you’re interested. I’m trying to be very deferential here. Much love. We’ll talk about High School Musical: The Musical: The Series again this weekend.
