Let's get into my 2024 in film!

Broad strokes are I logged 118 movies on Letterboxd.

I was pretty consistent throughout the year, and I leaned heavily into weekend watches.

I watched as many films on Sundays as all weekdays combined!

I started the year with Dream Scenario, which I expected to love but only kinda liked.

Hit movie # 50 in June, Mr. & Mrs. Smith was inoffensive.

Movie # 100 was The Substance which freaking ruled.

Last movie was Anora, which also ruled.

As usual, I favored watching new movies this year, accounting for 84% of all movies watched.

And I tried to get as many new releases in the mix as I could, with this accounting for 34%.

My most watched actors surprised me this year, with a 5-way tie at 4 movies.

David Dastmalchian and Ritchie Montgomery are the biggest standouts as I literally don't even know who these guys are 😂

In terms of my outliers in length/scores, let me just say I believe Madame Web is better than that average implies.

And my most obscure movie watched was also the worst I saw all year.

Finally, things I ranked higher and lower than average…

I Saw the TV Glow and Pacific Rim are so good, how dare the averages be simply “above average”.

I stand by all the lower than average scores, none of these worked for me at all.

Phew, what year!

@mako Letterboxd 😁

@matt That poster for The Substance makes my skin crawl.

@mako @jarrod Yeah, they typically have mini-series on Letterboxd, but not normal shows. I've seen them say TV show tracking is something they're working on, but no idea if it will see the light of day.

@jarrod It's good to know this feeling is coming before starting it 😉

@matt Thanks for the heads up!

@matt I recognize David from Oppenheimer, the hired agent that writes the damning report.
