NOTE: YES, WE KNOW BEN AFFLECK ISN\'T EVEN IN THIS MOVIE. WE JUST LOVE USING PHOTOS OF HIM. SO THERE.
First you need to select a movie from the press screening list you receive each week. In this case, How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days. See? That was easy. As it turns out, the screening for that movie is three days away, so in the meantime just lie around and wait. You may want to watch TV. I recommend Blind Date; it\'s a great way to clear your head of any thoughts that might get in the way of you judging the movie.
So your three days pass, and now it’s time to work. While sitting in the theater, clear your head of any thoughts you might have, and then-- watch the movie. Good, the movie is now over. You really enjoyed it. You\'re thinking of all the wonderful things you’re going to say about it in your review. This is where you need to stop! You are still six days away from your deadline. There\'s no need to rush it. Go home, get a good night’s sleep, and have a clean start in the morning.
It\'s now the morning of the fifth day. Why don\'t you sleep in? You\'ve earned it! You worked hard last night, watching that movie. You still have five days. That\'s plenty of time to write your review. You can start it tomorrow.
Day 6: I\'ll do it tomorrow.
Day 7: I\'ll do it tomorrow. Really!
Day 8: Shit, I forgot! I\'ll do it tomorrow.
Day 9: Zzzzzzz. RING! RING! RING! “LEAVE YOUR MESSAGE.” BEEP. “Darby, it\'s Wayne. I need that movie review.”
Day 10: Okay, today is the day we write. Let’s see, what movie did we see again? Oh yeah, How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days.
You now need to find a clever way to review the movie while keeping the attention of the reader. This can be difficult, seeing as the general reader has the attention span of a two-year-old.
It\'s now 11:45PM on the tenth day. You should just be finishing your review, and will need to email it to your editor.
Congratulations, you just wrote a movie review in ten days.
