What, you might ask, is the Insane Icon Project?

Well, back in 2004, I was inspired into insanity by an equally insane project that catatonic1242 was undertaking. Hers was to make five icons from each episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel the Series. My idea leaned more towards my own obsession: movies. At the time, I had barely 100 movies on DVD, so I thought that, while insane, this could be a fun, light project.

Presently, I own nearly 200 movies on DVD. Although roughly double the number of movies I had when I'd started, I am still determined to make icons from every single movie I own. That, my friends, is the insane icon project. Some number (there isn't a set number) of icons from every single movie I own. This is the information post on the project, so that you can all see how crazy I am. :)

( Movies already done. )

( Movie list and requests. )

I am actually alive! Yes, it's a miracle!

Lately, my icon-making tastes have shifted mostly toward RPG PB icons, and I just really wasn't in the mood for making pretty icons. But then I started missing my Insane Icon Project.

So I bring you the long-awaited, promised-long-long-ago Day 14: Star Wars Episode 4! I'll be watching the other two movies in the original trilogy hopefully within the next few days, as well, to make icons from them.

And maybe this'll kick-start me back into non-PB icons, hm?

Without further ado, the icons! 55 in total, including blanks.

01. 02. ( A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away ... )

Finally, another movie done for the Insane Icon Project! Sorry it's taken so long, lol. And yes, this isn't Star Wars as promised, but rather The Chronicles of Narnia - The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.

A warning for those of you on dial-up: there are 113 icons behind the cut, including blanks and textless. On the positive side, there's no animated ones this time. :)

This shall also be known as the Many Faces of William Moseley.

1. 2. ( Once a King or Queen of Narnia, always a King or Queen. )

Yes! Finally! I am finished with the Benny & Joon icons for the Insane Icon Project. This shall also be known as: The Many Faces of Johnny Depp.

Warning to those on dial-up: there's 59 icons (including textless and still versions) behind the cut.

1. 2. ( Because you know, it seems to me that, aside from being a little mentally ill, she's pretty normal. )

To those of you who don't read my regular journal, I have made some changes to the Insane Icon Project. I will no longer be doing all the movies in order. Rather, I will be giving those who read my regular journal an option to choose the next movie(s) via a small poll.

Coming up next: The (original) Star Wars trilogy.

As a warning to those with dial-up: there's 67 icons behind the cut. Though, if it makes you feel any better, I had originally taken almost 100 caps of the movie when I watched it, so compared to that, this is nothing. ;)

1. 2. ( Thirty, Flirty, and Thriving )

Yes, I have finally gotten back to work on the Insane Icon Project! Yay!

Anyway. Below the cut are icons from the final installment of the Back to the Future trilogy.

1. 2. ( Eastwood? What kind of stupid name is that? )

Coming up next is 13 Going on 30. Also, the list of doom has been updated with the latest additions to my DVD collection.

Here are the icons from the second installment of one of the best trilogies ever: the Back to the Future trilogy.

1. 2. ( Who you callin' butthead, butthead? )

Yes, it has taken me forever, but I finally have the icons for Back to the Future, part 1. Tomorrow or Thursday I'll watch and cap part 2, and hopefully it won't take me as long to make those icons. (Part of what took me so long was my POS laptop, and then when I finally resigned to using the desktop computer, I had to copy over all my fonts and brushes, and then I ended up having to reinstall PSP and re-download all my brushes. Not fun.)

Okay. So. I have 25 icons here for you, plus blanks. I think that's a new record for the Insane Icon Project (or even for any fandom posting at one time).

1. 2. ( You built a time machine in a DeLorean?! )

Once again, coming up next is Back to the Future Part II. Requests accepted (though please post them here) pretty much up until I post the icons.

Yay for England, where what we call soccer is called football, which makes more sense than our football, considering how much more often the foot comes in contact with the ball in their "football" than in our "football".

Anyway! Icons! Including four -- yes, four -- minimovies. And I reminded myself today while I was making all these icons exactly why I make minimovies so infrequently.

1. 2. ( Juicy Juicy Mangoes! )

Side note: Jon Rhys-Meyers = MROW.

Ehem. Anyway. Because my Back to the Future trilogy arrived in the mail today (yesterday, actually, as it is already after midnight), the next movie up is Back to the Future (part 1, I'll be doing each movie of the trilogy separately). Requests welcome, but leave them here, instead of in this post, please. Requests are welcome (for that or any other movie) pretty much up until I actually post the icons for that movie.

You know, I think I am quite possibly the only person in America who actually enjoyed this movie. It seems that the general American opinion is that it sucked, but I think it was good (which is why I have the DVD, duh). Plus, I'd love to have a bear like Teddy. xD that'd rock.

Anyway. Icons! A whopping 19 of them, plus blanks.

1. 2. ( Hey Joe, whaddya know? )

Coming up next: Bend it Like Beckham. Remember, if you have any requests for icons from any of my movies, just check out the original Insane Icon Project Post, find the movie, and leave a comment there (not here) about what you'd like. If I can, I'll icon it when I get to it. And even if you've checked the list before, check it again. I recently ordered a few movies that will be arriving soon, and I've already added them to the list. There may be something new there you want iconned.

This is a pretty good movie, but Adele (Susan Sarandon's character) drives me batty.

1. 2. ( he did heather locklear. )

Up next is AI: Artificial Intelligence. Requests welcome.

Behold, Tim Robbins in all his evil-genius glory. Also known as day four of the insane icon project: AntiTrust.

1. 2. ( You're either a 1 or a 0. Alive or dead. )

Coming up next: Anywhere But Here.

And thus I present to you the third installation of my Insane Icon Project: American Beauty. For those of you who haven't seen it, I highly highly recommend it.

1. 2. ( ... look closer )

Ta-da! Behold, what I decided to do instead of putting effort into my homework!

Day 2: 10 Things I Hate About You

1. 2. ( clicky clicky! )

All the posts related to the Insane Icon Project will be available in the memories page on my other journal (dantes_prayer). I'll be updating the "introduction" entry as I finish movies, so you can see there what movies will be coming up.

For those of you who don't read my regular journal, here's a rundown of the insane icon project:

Due to being inspired by catatonic1242's "Icon Project of Doom", which consists of 5 icons from each episode of BtVS and AtS, I have decided to embark upon a project of my own: icons from all of my DVD movies (all 67 of them). There will be no set number of icons per movie or any set schedule of when I will have the icons done. For reasons, see my journal.

So here is Day 1: The 10th Kingdom

1. 2. ( and here's the rest )

To see a list of the DVDs I own and to request an icon from a movie, go to my journal. I posted a list there. I will be going down the list in the order I have it in, so my next movie will be 10 Things I Hate About You, which I will get to in the next few days, and so on and so forth.

(small side note: If Scott Cohen wasn't twice my age . . . mrow. He's definitely gnaw-able.)
