Watch

What I’ve watched when I’m not reading.

A friend from college got me in the habit of saving my movie ticket stubs, and I have a glass mug stuffed with them, going back to the very early ’90s. I had never kept a running yearly tally before, until I was encouraged in 2007 by my pal Brent, who keeps his own tally of those sort of things.

Multiple viewings of a film are not counted in the total.

Beginning in 2020, I started tracking shows I’m watching, especially the short runs popular with Netflix, HBO, etc.
