25. Educated by Tara Westover (AB)
26. Lust and Wonder by Augusten Burroughs (AB)

I didn't count Sing, Unburied, Sing. I listened to the whole book on audiobook, and I'd be damned if I could tell you one thing that happened in it. I don't know if I was too distracted, or if I couldn't absorb the reader's voice or what. I just can't count that as a book read.

[LoathedVermin72]

I just counted and I've already watched 56 movies this year. That's just stuff I haven't seen before. If I were counting stuff I've already seen, I'd say add another 15-20 or so.

I'd recommend giving Sing, Unburied, Sing another shot. It's a heartbreaking story and beautifully told. One of my favorites in a while.

[lennytheweedwhacker]

you have the last jedi twice

[epilogue]

I watched it twice, Lenny. Once back in January and then again the other night.

that doesn't count

water isn't a soft drink

The thread isn't 50 different movies in one year, Lenny. If I watch The Last Jedi 50 times, that still counts.

[epilogue]

Welp. Just read the OP and it turns out, it doesn't count. Sorry, Lenny. You were right and I shouldn't have doubted you.

It's clear we're all writing our own rules for this thing, but yeah, I thought it was "new to us" things.

Joe you just watched the Star Wars prequels for the first time this year? Where have you been?

[epilogue]

Joe you just watched the Star Wars prequels for the first time this year? Where have you been?

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.... these movies have to be seen for the first time ever to count? Not just with in the year? I get not counting the same movie twice in one year, but all brand new, ever seen, films? That's fucking stupid.

I mean, that's what I'M doing. Who gives a shit if you watched The Phantom Menace for the 8th time? We're just gonna make fun of you for that shit anyhow.

That’s why I’m not doing it. I understood it to be new materials only.
