It’s live! (Well, I wrote it ‘live’.)
It’s Monday night! (Well, I posted it Monday night.)
It’s the January 2011 round-up! (At least that’s always true.)
Following the success of 2010, 2011’s off to a good start. For one thing I’ve got every review from last year posted — I didn’t manage that until August (August!) last year.
More pertinently, though, the film-watching is off and running. Though I started later than ever this year (the first three years I managed to watch #1 on New Year’s Day; last year it was 8th January; this year 10th January), I’m suitably far ahead as January closes. The target for this month is to reach #8; last year I made it to #12; this year, I’ve made it to #12 again. Neat.
If I continue at this rate (which never happens), I’d reach #100 in early September and have a total of 144 by the end of the year. I shan’t be getting my hopes up.
