2007 movie stats
I was going to make a somewhat assy post about the arbitrary nature of both the new-year-resolution thing and the actual things I would want to resolve to do, but instead I spent like four hours trying to make charts out of my past year of movie watching.
First I made this, which was way too hard to make for what it is:
(That's number of movies viewed per month, with a low of 0 (February) and a high of 9 (August and September))
Then I spent forever on this bubbl.us thing which is unintelligible and humongous.
Anyway, there turned out to be 55 of them (51 unique movies), averaging out of course to be slightly better than one per week, which is pretty boring.
