Movies and TV I watched in 2020
Down from 137 movies in 2018 to 105 in 2019 and now just 72 in 2020 — a lot of them were rewatch because sometimes I just need to see images that move, which explains why there’s lots of bad TV on the list…
Okay I did enjoy Emily in Paris as background noise when I feed baby Z and damn you Netflix autoplay.
I would like to watch more Japanese and Hong Kong cinemas in 2021. Would also like to travel there and hug all my friends.
I bold the ones I saw in theater. This just makes me sad.
Let’s all return to the cinemas in 2021 and pour hot butter all over the popcorn until it leaks out of the bag.
