It's Been a While...Again

Life has a way of getting in the way of the things you want to do, but I've finally done an update, adding over 40 new 1106s to the site, to put us at 825 in total. Thanks again to Jamie S. Rich for his tireless efforts. I'll try to be more consistent in my updates in the future.

Another Day, Another Update

We're just shy of 700 at this point, with another 26 on the pile. If I could recommend one, you should check out Extreme Movie. Talk about good timing.

The Devil + 1

I just did a major update of the site list, thanks as always to Jamie S. Rich's wonderful contributions, and we have risen to 667 images. The Holy Father will be happy that we are not Satan's plaything.

I also rewrote how the list is maintained, so I should be able to make updates much more efficiently. Praise be. Thanks for visiting!

It's Taken Over Half a Year...

But I've done another update and we're over 600 now (610 to be precise.) I really must give tremendous thanks to writer extraordinaire Jamie S. Rich, who has provided a vast number of the 1106 entries and without whom this would be a much smaller venture.

Boy have I slacked off...but 500!

It's been since March since I posted anything, but there have been picture updates, thanks in large part to Jamie S. Rich, who is more consistent than I could ever hope to be. We have now reached the 500 image mark and sit at 502 at this very moment. Now we shoot for 1000....

Four Hundred and Fifty

Another big update brings the total to 450 1106s, which is insane when you stop to think about it.

Thanks to all the supporters of this unusual effort.

It's Been a While

but we're back with a bunch of new images, and a few new guest curators. Currently, we sit at exactly 300 images in the collection, with Beowulf being the latest entry. It's not the most interesting image, but hey, that was kind of the point of the randomness in 1106.

Thanks to everyone who has visited and has had kind words to say.

A big bump

Some new contributions from Jamie S. Rich and a pile of DVDs wiped out personally has jumped the image count to 241. The collection is slanted toward the far end of the alphabet and comedy, but there's a good mix in there anyway, and as always, there's more to come.

More changes

I've added a tagboard for people to leave comments about 1106, and I've hidden the names of the films, so you can challenge yourself to guess what the movie is, and then move your mouse over the image to see the answer.

Current image count: 158

Another Guest Curator, More 1106s

Welcome aboard Paul Mavis, who has provided an 1106 of Two for the Road, bringing the total to 138 images at the moment, though my hard drive has a stack sitting on it waiting for me to add them in. You can see the WLegend at the top, which shows you how to tell who provided what 1106s.

I've also added links for Digg, Del.icio.us and StumbleUpon, for easy sharing of the site.

Thanks for checking it out.

1106 Museum breaks 100...and then 125

That's right, there's now more than 125 images in 1106, including people yelling, Hitler yelling, and at least one of the pointlessly random images I expected to get when I started.

Thanks for checking it out (if you do... otherwise, screw you.)

A New Meaning, A New Friend & Nudity

I've decided to change the definition of 1106, after some thought about what it is, in that I'm not really creating art, but instead finding and displaying it. So instead of describing 1106 as an art experiment, it's now a very specific museum.

We've got our first guest curator (see... museum thing works nice, right?) in the form of writer Jamie S. Rich, whose provided 1106s of Bloodhounds of Broadway and Two-Lane Blacktop. You can check out his site at http://www.confessions123.com/

Also, a milestone has been reached rather quickly, as the first 1106 with nudity has made it's way into the collection. A hint: it's a bit Weird.

Categories and Expectations

I've been surprised at how clean so many of the 1106 grabs have been. I expected more of the type I got from Borat than what I got from, say, Failure to Launch or Journey from the Fall.

I'm already seeing some categories emerge, like "People Driving," "Silly Faces," and "Looking Away." Unfortunately, I doubt that "Writing on Foreheads with Sharpies" will be too prevalent.

Wondering when the first nude 1006 will appear. Schoolgirl Report 2 came damn close.

Getting Started

1106 is in its larval stage currently, as I load in the first batch of screen captures. That means you'll see a lot of comedies represented to start, a) because that's the biggest aspect of my DVD collection, and b) I'm lazy and the comedies are in the top box of my collection.

Hopefully, as the site grows, people will check it out, and help the collection grow by submitting their own 1106s from their favorite films. But I won't hold my breath. Right now, I'm 1106's biggest (and only) fan.
