fdbef2874c Update haveWatched for IMDB 250 movies
It's been awhile since I've updated this list, and I haven't stopped watching
movies. Adding movies like "The Help", "Three Colours: Red" (and the whole
trilogy for that matter), "The Elephant Man", and others. All worth watching.

ef40622a87 Mark Dangal as watched
Many Bollywood movies have excellent acting, excellent directing, excellent
storytelling, but in my opinion, they spoil this with unnecessary musicals
interspersed throughout the films.

Dangal is a notable exception here. Overall, I'd say that this movie is
appropriately rated!

1e82ea4b26 Mark Hitchcock's Vertigo as watched
Watched the famous "Vertigo" with the timeless Jimmy Stewart. Overall I'd say
that the film is overhyped, but worth watching nevertheless.

c36ae072d2 Mark Andhadhun as watched
What a confusing movie this was... I may need to watch it a second time to
better understand what happened, but I found watching it once already so
exhausting that I'm not sure I'll ever watch it again.

d3a337199a Create SQLite database from unwatched movies in imdb-top-250.org
The astute observer may notice that the number of entries in db.sqlite3 is fewer
than the number of unwatched movies in imdb-top-250.org. I'm at a lake in
Germany with Mimi and Cullen, so we took the intersection of my unwatched
movies, Mimi's unwatched movies, and Cullen's unwatched movies.

2a44b26630 Create //todo-lists
In the beginning there existed only a generic //org directory... This directory
was generic enough to include any .org file regardless of its purpose, but
specific enough to disallow membership of other worthy files of the Markdown
ilk.

Then came the //playbooks directory, which robbed //org of most of its
inhabitants...

In the interim various .md and .org TODO lists existed scattered across the
landscape of the monorepo... some existed in far-away, exotic lands like
"travel-histlist"... These fractious tribes shared much in common with their
distant relatives, but the superficial differences granted the simple-minded,
draconian filesystem license to prevent them from mingling.

Then one day the monorepo had a new visitor: //todo-lists.
//todo-lists restored order to the monorepo, uniting all of the fractious
documents under one roof.

.md and .org files held hands and sang Kumbaya around a blazing fire for the
first time in history. All was well, and all were happy.
