#Blaugust2023 to Track a Movie

I track every movie my wife and I watch. We could use a service like Letterboxd, but my spreadsheet is plenty. We rate each movie we watch on a scale of -3 to 3 (the closer to zero, the more forgettable, bland, or unappealing). In 2023, we’ve watched 73 movies, with an average score of 1.73 (me) and 1.66 (her). The average release date currently rests at 1998, largely because we also watch older movies too.

Why? One, because we forget what we watch when we watch so much. Two, it reinforces an honest discussion between us to rate each film we watch which, admittedly, we would’ve done anyway but it is fun to tick boxes.
