Well, yes and no. I didn't make it to 12 movies this year in the theater. In fact, even with the plan to see Aquaman with a coworker still in flux, I still didn't make it.
Without trying, I became a big reader. Not like those real people who read, but someone who now reads more than she used to. I bet if I looked back, I made it to twelve books this year. The portability, the fact that I can stop and start when I want, and there is not a designated space specific to where it must be consumed all contributed to my more frequent reading.
Even though reading is fundamental and it's better than movies (if you believe your teachers) is that it still keeps me on my ass. I'm not advanced enough to read a book while on a treadmill. Or like the guy in Cotsco who was watching football while moving thorough the isles.
So what movies did I see? Well here we are:
1. Black Panther 2/18/18
2. Ready Player One 4/1/18
3. Avengers: Infinity War 4/29/18
4. Deadpool 2 5/18/18
5. Solo: A Star Wars Story 6/1/18
6. Ocean's 8 7/3/18
7. Mission: Impossible Fallout 7/29/18
8. Bad Times at the El Royale 10/21/18
If I wanted to bulk up my time at the theater, I could count:
Jim Henson’s Holiday Special
Featuring Emmet Otter and Fraggle Rock
I suppose I could count that as two if I really wanted to. Sadly, it would be cheating and not winning. Double boo.
I'm okay with it though. It's about doing something fun and I didn't have the urge to see everything out. Here's to 2019 being more tempting.
