61*

I just saw my 61st movie of the year--not including movies I'd already seen. That sounds like a lot to me, even if it only breaks down to about 3 a week. Here's a little breakdown of the movies I've watched:

Of 61 movies:

9 were written or written/directed by Billy Wilder
13 starred Shirley MacLaine
23 were on Turner Classic Movies
7 were seen in theaters
13 were made in this century
1972 was the average release year

What does the future hold in store? Who knows? The Film Forum is planning a Billy Wilder festival for July, and there's at least 3 of his movies that I haven't seen that I plan on seeing, if I can motivate myself to leave my apartment. And my friend Sam and I are supposed to see The Apartment on the big screen, which will be a nice change from the way I usually watch it, on a dusty 13-inch computer screen, lying in bed with a cat standing on me.
