Writing

The final counts are up. We have the following distribution of media for 2024.

Some of my biggest highlights I pointed out in another post.

I’ll leave that here again because it was a really fun list to put down.

• The film that I want to finish: Past Lives (2023)
• The weird film: Poor Things (2023)
• The cringiest TV series: The Curse, Season 1 (2023-2024)
• The book that resonates the most: The Psychology of Money (2020)
• The unexpected book find: Frostbite (2024)
• My RomCom of the year: Upgraded (2024)
• A great TV find: Ramy (Seasons 1 and 2). I still need to watch the 3rd season
• The cry-fest film: Suzume (2022)
• My good 90’s find: Go (1999)
• The most intense non-intense film: Challengers (2024)
• Unexpected horro series: The first four Ring movies from Japan. Absolutely better than the American ones.
• Best horror from this year: The Substance (2024)
• RIP Dame Maggie Smith: Gosford Park (2001)
• Hallmark Movie of the year: Sugarplummed (2024)

I’ll add in there I also enjoyed Quiz Lady on the plane ride home, although that was on January 1st.

I didn’t read enough books this year. They were mainly non-fiction. The highlights were Frostbite and The Golden Thread.

We saw Hamilton this year, our only musical. Totally worth it!

I tried to include video games, although I’m terrible at finishing them. Maybe I should add an “in progress” for some of those because I don’t always finish them.

In terms of TV shows, we’ve enjoyed the new Fallout show. Morgan’s really enjoyed Dune Prophecy. I watched all of the Good Place, which was wonderful, and has a bittersweet ending.
