What movies are you watching?

Okay how

What level of attention are you paying to these 600 movies

[lennytheweedwhacker]

Argo and Anders are three people each.

[Anders]

Haven’t counted, but think about 450-500 were rewatches. Lots of classic movies. Of course I pay attention to each movie, but I’m sure there was a big difference between my attention to the top 100 new movies vs the bottom 100 rewatches.

In 2020 I watched about 300. Doubt the number will be bigger than that in 2022. 2021 was special.

I’m watching Zoolander now. Rewatch. It’s on in the background, I’m also playing a bit with my daughter, posting here, and chatting a bit with my wife.

Even if it was a rewatch, when we watched A Beautiful Mind yesterday, we just watched the movie, and my daughter was already sleeping.

[lennytheweedwhacker]

Zoolander deserves full attention.

[Anders]

I think it’s really funny. Seen it a few times before (2-3).

[Mickey]

I personally count re-watches unless it's very soon after (I watched a few movies twice in the spring in a span of 2-3 weeks because I was teaching them, that only counts as one). But I don't really count background movie. Still, that's impressive.

I give all my movies full attention, but I am basically never able to watch them in one go. I watch forty minutes or so, take a break, watch another forty minutes, etc. It's not ideal

[Anders]

With a one year old in the house, full attention can be difficult. Always need to keep an eye on her.

I’m almost exactly the same.

[Anders]

The final two movies of the year will be Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone and The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring (extended).

I think it depends on the situation for me--if I put a movie on at night I usually push through to the end but I have a hard time settling in during the day. I end up watching 1-2 movies a week just by having it on with lunch.

[Malloy]

Cluny Brown, love it so far

[Mickey]

I want to see a list of Malloy best-first-viewings of the year.

[lennytheweedwhacker]

I just want to see Malloy.

[Anders]

The first Harry Potter film feels like the most magical of all of them. Great casting as well.
