In 2022, I watched 97 movies I had never seen. Obviously then, I came up short on my annual 100 movie goal. However, I did watch all seventy hours and fourteen minutes of Game of Thrones for the first time, so I'm choosing to call the year a success.
An Overview, 2022:
Everyone loved it and they were right: Don't Worry Darling Was most surprised to love: Luca, Bullet Train Movie I laughed the hardest at: Everything Everywhere All At Once
