Guess how many movies I watched in December!!

I am amazed I watched so many feature length films. 202 brand new movies. I actually only watched this in 30 days, the last day I was out of town. And truthfully I didn’t watch any movies on my birthday or the day after. I managed to finish off Jarmusch, Kurosawa, and Kubrick this month, as well as probably some others. I don’t plan on watching this many anytime soon again. I’ll probably just watch 100 a month from now on…

Also, short films don’t count for any points either.

So my score for this month was 33.5 in films, and 23 in TV for a combined total of 56.5. I am not one hundred percent sure I got that total right. I am doing it again this month and hopefully will beat this score.
