SEOHYUN & LEE JUN-YOUNG AS JUNG JI-WOO & JUNG JI-HOO in LOVE AND LEASHES 모럴센스 (2022) dir. Hyeon-jin Park

As tomorrow is a new year, here is my top 5 movies of 2024!

Personally, I think 2024 was a really strong year for movies, so here we go!

(Also, honorable mention for The Holdovers, not out this year but I only just managed to watch it and I am OBSESSED, go watch it!)

1) Deadpool and Wolverine.

I mean...seems obvious..right? I love EVERYTHING about this movie. Literally. The character development, the story, the cameos, the acting, the editing, the soundtrack- I love it all.

2) Venom : The Last Dance

Also...kinda obvious if you know me. I love my lil black goop son and his boyfriend so much. It's insane. Again, plot was amazing, editing, all of it. The only issue is the very end, but if you just skip that, it didn't happen!

3) Sonic The Hedehodge 3

So, I saw this legit 2 days ago and it's all I've thought about since. Oh. My. God. Firstly, the best in the series so far- but also- Shadow? Jesus christ? No spoilers, but fucking hell I am STILL crying.

4) IF

So, honestly, an unexpected one, but so good? One of the best kids movies I think of this year. The idea is genuis and something I've never really seen in a kids movie. Also, Ryan Reynolds, my boy.

5) Wallace and Gromit : Vengeance Mist Fowl

A classic. Instantly. I mean, I'm british and it's Wallace and Gromit.....what more can I say? The animation was simply incredible- like- the best Aardman have done so far. Plus, my boy Feathers Mcgraw is back.

As you can see, I really like the 3rd movie in a trilogy.

I always say, sequels will (mostly) be better than the first because they have established everything and the actors know what their characters are.

I've referenced before how I have a big google document to keep track of every media I've ever seen in my entire life (just for reference because I like to track everything possible lol… I am the Data Collector), but recently as I was updating it, I thought of actually evaluating them to find out random percentages (like for example, out of Total Shows Watched, what percentage did I finish vs. stop watching, what percentage did I like or dislike, etc.)...

Evaluating these things is made easier by the fact that I already place everything on each subsection of the list into 6 broad ranking categories, so I don't have to go back and guess to figure out how I feel about them or anything. The categories are: Ranking 5 - overall best* (despite some criticisms of course because I'm too much of an Analyzer to ever find anything Perfect lol) Ranking 4 - more positive than neutral, but not good enough to be 5 Ranking 3 - either the good + bad negate each other, OR it's just not memorable/interesting in any way enough to be ranked higher or lower (this is the Default category ALL things are placed in if no other rank applies) Ranking 2 - maybe a few redeemable elements but largely more negatives than positives Ranking 1 - So bad that it circles around to being fascinating to observe in some way (not necessarily Funny, or Good, but just interesting somehow) Ranking 0 - Bad in a genuinely frustrating or obnoxious manner

*("best" primarily defined here as most interesting, rather than most good in a technical sense, or some other measure. I tend to value more highly whether there's something novel or thoughtful about the worldbuilding, tone, writing, base premise, etc - than about whether it's actually executed perfectly.)

And here's the amount of shows that have so far been placed into each category -

TV shows ~ Rank 5 (highest) - 20 shows ~ Rank 4 (mid-high) - 28 shows ~ Rank 3 (neutral/default/meh) - 114 shows ~ Rank 2 (mid low) -33 shows ~ Rank 1 (low low but intriguingly so) - 14 shows ~ Rank 0 (iredeemably low) - 2 shows

This would make for a total of 211 TV shows overall. However, there are 57 shows within these list marked as "didn't finish" (typically meaning I quit on the very first or second episode - but log them still to keep a record that I at least had a brief view of them).

So my total of genuinely fully watched shows would be more 154. 211 Total, but a More Accurate Total of 154.

Counting them all and using the Total Number Of The List (211) -- that means roughly 9.5% of all total shows I have ever watched (or at least attempted to watch) have been Mostly Good, 13% have been Moderately Okay, 54% have been either entirely Forgettable or some mix of good + bad that lands them right in the Neutral Middle, 15.6% have been Mostly Bad, 6.6% have been Bad (but in an interesting way), and 0.9% have been Terribly Bad.

Additionally, I didn't even get past the first two episodes of about 27% of the total.

Sooo, discounting ones I didn't finish, my total TV shows ever watched in my life would be about 154 (maybe give or take a few, assuming I might have forgotten some from very long ago).

But instead of entire life, let's just say this is the total for 'About 20 Years' (so, not counting very early childhood when I likely wouldn't remember things I saw/have no detailed recollection of them (like for example, I'm sure at some point when I was like 4yrs old I must have seen an episode of Spongebob or something, but I have zero distinct memories of it, can't quote anything of it, and barely recall the premise - so I don't count it on the list, etc.)).

In that case, 154 divided by 20 would be roughly 7.7 shows a year.

Which is actually surprisingly low considering that I often have stuff on in the background for hours whilst I make sculptures and do costumes and stuff (maybe I should have also marked some distinction between 'things I fully paid attention to' and 'things I kind of half listened to whilst sculpting', but that would further split the categories too much probably lol), but I guess a lot of that is youtube videos or random documentaries, so .. eh.. maybe I get it being lower.

Now, doing the same thing for movies-

Movies ~ Rank 5 (highest) - 4 movies (3.4% of total) ~ Rank 4 (mid-high) - 12 movies (10.3% of total) ~ Rank 3 (neutral/default/meh) - 91 movies (78.4% of total) ~ Rank 2 (mid low) - 8 movies (6.8% of total) ~ Rank 1 (low but interesting) - 1 movie (0.8% of total) ~ Rank 0 (irredeemably low) - none in this category (0%)

That makes 116 for a Total (Actually Remembered) Movies Watched In Lifetime (Or At Least In 20 Years).

116 divided by 20 is roughly 5 or 6 movies a year (I feel this has probably been skewed though by adding everything since like elementary school onwards, as I remember a lot more movies from child/teen years.. Whereas, the past 3 years I feel like I've barely seen maybe even 5 movies?? lol). I also have "Didn't Finish" marked on 18 of them. Which means I quit halfway through about 15% of the total movies.

So, a for broader summary stuff..

I seem to be less forgiving to movies than tv shows, by far. Which makes sense to me, I guess, because I love elaboration and details, so "short form" things that only last an hour or two are often lost on me a bit. My biggest complaint with movies is indeed usually walking away just wishing there had been more exposition, more scenes where characters are doing nothing, more "mindless bantering" conversations, more Quiet Downtime and Lore Elaboration and so on lol, so... of course most 1-2hr films end up feeling a bit Not Enough To Draw My Interest/Nothingy to me.

If you count 5 and 4 as "like" and rankings 2 to 0 as "dislike", then for TV shows I at least somewhat liked 48 of them, and at least somewhat disliked 47 of them.. So it's almost exactly the same lol. I'm just about equally as likely to find something bad as I am to find something redeeming about it. But overall, the largest chance is that I just won't really care much for it at all and it will be tossed into the 'neutral' pile, forgotten forever. Movies have a bit better of a balance, "liking" 16 of them, and "disliking" only 9 of them. So I'm slightly more likely to enjoy a movie than to find it annoying - though still VASTLY more likely to just not find it anything in particular, possibly not even finishing it.

ANYWAY.. this is vague and literally pointless, but like I said, I just really find information fun. Like my document where I've rated every apple flavor I've ever tried (like 40 of them now?), or reviewed every oreo flavor (32?), or ranking data from my entire 10 years of Trying To Make Friends process (out of 100 people, roughly 8% chance of a moderate compatibility, 3% chance of high), or etc. etc.. I love to have random pointless things to analyze I suppose lol.

I doubt anyone tracks things in their life in this same exact way, but I'd be interested in hearing any at least somewhat similar data !!! (like, how many TV shows you watch a year on average, and what percentage of those you like vs. dislike (if you keep track of that sort of thing), etc.)). I guess it might be easier with movies, since I think some people use those websites where you curate a list of movies you've seen and you can rate them or something, so maybe the numbers are already available on those places. :0

sometimes letterboxd is THE stupidest fucking community in the world i swear to god. tell me why i have to see a whole garden variety of 0.5-1 star reviews of a movie with an openly queer protagonist who, over the course of her coming of age narrative explores and reaffirms her queerness and remains openly and happily queer, that are all calling it an "anti-gay narrative/propaganda". be so fucking serious right now. does anyone in this thread do mushrooms

[atomicradiogirl]

my top 5 movies of 2024 (in no particular order)

1. fight club

i have pretentious film bro taste and i hate it. but genuinely this might be my favorite movie ever, it’s amazing and it frustrates me how misconstrued it is by most of its fanbase.

2. jacob’s ladder

this movie is so so so so so good!!! i’ve been meaning to watch it for a while, and i finally got around to it and it did not disappoint at all. the story is great, the plot twist was kind of predictable but still very cool, and it left me with a deep sense of dread which is the mark of a good movie in my eyes

3. longlegs

lee harker save me… this movie is awesome. nick cage’s acting is actually phenomenal (like, some of the bets i’ve seen all year), and maika monroe was also great in it. the plot is exactly what i love in a horror movie, it’s like a new silence of the lambs but with more religious imagery

4. snatch

this one is just. such a fun time. i was going to put hot fuzz on here, but i realized i’d seen it before 2024 so i chose this instead. it has all of the fun pulp fiction does without the frustration and discomfort i get from that movie. i firmly believe everyone should see this movie at least once, it’s an amazing time

5. the silence of the lambs

do i even have to say anything. it’s so good. go watch it.

yesterday (06/12) was the anniversary of me watching top gun for the first time so here are some of my favorite personal reviews

i saw tg and tgm in june & didn’t think about tg for two months. i wrote the epilogue for wwgattai on august 10 and THEN rewatched it on the 11th & that’s when i knew there was enough potential to start writing wwgattai for real

a lot can change in a year. :)
