I enjoy making lists. Whether it’s a movie, book, or album, I always jot down what I’m consuming artistically, so I don’t forget it. Even with my memory being fairly decent due to my age, it’s worth keeping track of these things—at least from my perspective—in case I want to look back at them.

Movie-wise, I’ve seen quite a few movies this year, primarily since I aim to see 300 movies by the end of the year. Though there’s nothing special about how many movies you view, I don’t watch much television besides sports, so I spend my nights or free time watching a movie. It’s a lot easier than it seems, most people are just initimdated by the movie format for whatever reason.

Regardless, for the first eight days of the year, I’ve had a blast so far in my movie consumption. I’ve been writing more at length about movies and music in detail on my Substack, but here’s a quick list of what I’ve seen so far this month, in case you’re curious. Talk to you soon.
