Books
1. Candide - Voltaire. ★★★★★. Simply sublime, I adore the satirical nature of the book.

Movies
1. One flew over the cuckoo's nest (1975) ★★★★★. Really loved the amazing characters, I was rooting for nurse Ratched though.

3. A Most Wanted Man (2014). ★★★★★. I really miss Philip Seymour Hoffman, what a great movie showcasing the depth authorities can go to try and stop terrorism.
4. Fantastic Beasts and where to find them (2016) ★★★. It was definetly better than philosopher's stone.
5.Oldboy (2003). ★★★★★. Simply Amazing with an incredibly fucked up ending.
6. Nocturnal Animals (2016). ★★★★. Great characters with some amazing cinematography.
7. The Omen (1976) ★★. I was promised some riveting horror and all I got was a serviceable supernatural drama.
8. Suicide Squad (2016) ★★. Could do with some good writing.
9. Westworld (1973) ★★★★. Great SciFi movie that still holds up after 44 years and has given us a great TV show.
10. Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991) ★★★★. I was surprised to enjoy Judgement day, what a great action movie.
11. Moana (2016) ★★★★. I enjoyed this movie inspire of it being a musical.
12. The Raid Redemption (2011) ★★★. I enjoyed the fight scenes, had no clue which character was who or the story of the movie.
13. Sudden Impact (1983) ★. There was no reason for this movie.

shit, gotta update 2016, missing 2 or 3 months :eek:
I mentioned this in the other thread, but if you update your claimed 2016 post, please do it by January 7th, so I can do my final graph.

For graphs this year, I'll keep doing them if no one else minds. I should clarify how I deal with updates or the lack thereof. I'll browse every claimed post and take your numbers monthly (I keep links to each post in a Google Sheet). I will not use your monthly updates, just your claimed post, so try to do both. Also, if you don't update for three months, I might flag your name and stop looking at your profile for a few months just so I don't waste my time. If you decide to jump back in after a few months being absent, just PM me to make sure I haven't flagged you as having dropped the challenge and I'll check again.

kinoki

Illness is the doctor to whom we pay most heed; to kindness, to knowledge, we make promise only; pain we obey.
If counting a 500+ page book as 2 (I tend to read doorstoppers when I do) , what's the accepted format for tracking it?

Or is it:

Or, if you're using BBC lists you can just add a line saying "counted as two" underneath.
 
For graphs this year, I'll keep doing them if no one else minds. I should clarify how I deal with updates or the lack thereof. I'll browse every claimed post and take your numbers monthly (I keep links to each post in a Google Sheet).

Thanks for doing this. Always my favorite part of the thread, though admittedly it was a pain to update. Hope you have a better method!

My 52 games post

Think I'll sign up this year! Hoping it'll push me to finish more books. I started a tonne of them last year but ended up not finishing too many of them. I'm going to be counting one season of TV as a movie since I watch way more TV than movies and generally prefer TV. Ratings are from one to five stars with no half stars. Good luck everyone!

Just a reminder to all the new people this year to read the OP. Most of the questions that often come up are answered there and there are plenty of good tips and advice.

Most of all, remember this is a personal challenge, not a competition, so as long as you think something you read or watched is acceptable under the "rules" outlined in the OP, go ahead and count it.

The only reward you get for finishing is a sense of accomplishment, so if you want to lie to yourself or bend the rules to include a film you already watched or a 20 page short story, go right ahead.

I'm in! May I shall consume a lot of media I've missed out on in previous years! First year I'm doing this, signed up for the 50 Games challenge over at Gaming too!

Richie - 0/50 books | 2/50 movies

Movies:

1. Forrest Gump (Jan 1).: Yes, believe it or not, I hadn't experienced this movie in full before. There'll be tons of movies considered iconic or classics that will appear in this list later on, heck, it's why I took the challenge in the first place. I watched the first hour of it last year but left it incomplete; decided to watch it from scratch and follow all the way through for once and all. What can I say, I found it a very commendable film. The cinematography is gorgeous and often meaningful (such as that shot with all the birds flying after Forrest walks away from a certain grave), the direction the masterful, the acting top notch. It was easy to get engaged. Some laughs, some great emotional displays, damn, that voice breaking...There's also some minor annoyances, nothing that actively irritated me but just some details that left themselves open enough to be interpreted more cynically than likely intended in the back of my mind. All in all however, a grand movie to begin this challenge with.

2. Raising Arizona. (Jan 8): Gal pal found out they were gonna show it at our local botanic park and invited me over. I approached with some skepticism; The Big Lebowski gave me more boredom than it did fun, and as far as I knew that had been the Coens' comical highlight. It was thus a great relief and a pleasant surprise to discover in Raising a much funnier film, entertaining characters whose misadventures are easy to engage with, and setpieces that are as chaotic as they're hilarious (that whole Huggies sequence was an instant classic). An absolute steal at the $1.17 USD it cost to watch it live alongside a continuously laughing audience.

BONUS: (I decided I'm not gonna count movies that just got released on theaters around my town in this year's countdown, but hey, will still mention).

-La Vache (Jan 6): This is a 2016 French film that screened in very limited locations in the city this past Friday. Ostensibly a comedy, albeit it caused more smiling than it did chuckling and there's some stretches where not much goes on. Lighthearted fun fare, felt it could have achieved more even with its thin premise, but eh, not bad as a break from the routine of American cinema.

Currently reading: Death with Interruptions, by José Saramago.

Live by Night- fantastic book. Love Dennis Lehane's writing.

Movies:

Calvary: Brendan Gleeson is a great actor.
Should get around to watching the Guard since the same director did this film.

Live by Night: Not as good as the book, but I still enjoyed it. Probably Affleck's first flop though, based on the box office.

Star Wars: Rogue One- I was pretty hyped for this and it didn't disappoint. Great film and really ties in to Episode IV in an amazing way.

Silence- This movie was intense, but definitely worth watching. I'm normally not a big Andrew Garfield fan, but I thought he did a great job. One of Scorsese's best.

Books:

1. Prisoners of Geography - 1 Jan
Pretty good beginners introduction to geopolitics today. I don't know that much about it so I can't comment on the accuracy of his statements but he seemed to know what he was talking about. Sometimes veered away from geography though, especially in the Middle East chapter. ★★★

2. Seven Deadly Frauds of Economic Policy - 2 Jan
This was in the essential reading list in the linked post from the OP. It was well worth it, a pretty fantastic run through of monetary systems and the fallacies current governments adhere to. Really puts into perspective how unnecessary many contemporary problems are. ★★★★★ Edit: I did further reading based on what it said and have found reason to believe it makes some fallacies of its own. But still gonna stick to my original rating.

Movies:

1. Green Room - 1 Jan
This was pretty intense. The setting was fairly unexpected for me as I knew nothing about the film going in other than it was violent. Very understated. ★★★★

2. La La Land - 18 Jan
Pretty funny, pretty people, pretty pretty. This was really well made in my opinion, and I identified with Goslings character super hard so I was easily drawn in. ★★★★

Solid animated film, good animation and humor. Plus Raven is the best.

An enjoyable movie. Good characters and acting, but the plot falls a little flat.
★★★

Funny, well-written, and visually stunning movie.

Well, I failed miserably with 3 books and 19 movies last year - but ah well.

Viridian6 - 6/50 books | 15/50 movies

Books:
  1. Before They Are Hanged - Joe Abercrombie - 25 Jan - ★★★★ (>500 pages)
    Good second entry in the trilogy, with more of an overall plot this time.
  2. Slade House - David Mitchell - 15 Feb - ★★★
    His worst book. His writing is as good as always, but neither the plot nor the characters felt substantial. Basically DLC for The Bone Clocks.
  3. Last Argument of Kings - Joe Abercrombie - 13 Jun - ★★★★ (>500 pages)
    I've heard that Abercrombie deliberately wrote this series to subvert the usual fantasy tropes, and the bleakest of payoffs arrives with this final volume of the trilogy. Feels like he's just getting started with the First Law world though. Some of the characterisation here came off as inconsistent with previous entries.
  4. Romeo and/or Juliet - Ryan North - 16 Aug - ★★★
    The second of Ryan North's conversions of a Shakespeare play into a choose-your-own-adventure book. This one felt lacking compared to the first, with none of the "alternate" routes being as crazy. Entertaining enough though. Liked how you had multiple chances to get a happy ending just by applying common sense.

Movies:
  1. Star Trek Beyond - 1 Jan - ★★★
    Plot was really simple compared to the first two films. Comes off as a standard Hollywood action movie in the Star Trek world.
  2. xXx: Return of Xander Cage - 29 Jan - ★★★½
    Randomly watched this one with some cousins, didn't see either of the first two films. Pretty good action! Would have rated it higher if not for a certain plot twist which made the film much less entertaining.
  3. The Lego Batman Movie - 26 Feb - ★★★
    Good first half, took itself too seriously in the second. I really liked all the small references to other Batman media.
  4. Logan - 19 Mar - ★★★★½
    A very different kind of X-men movie, slower paced and more about character drama. A sense of loss permeates throughout the film. Reminded me of No Country for Old Men.
  5. Beauty and the Beast - 26 Mar - ★★★½
    I guess it's good. Having watched the original I pretty much knew how things were gonna go down, which took some fun out of the experience.
  6. Get Out - 5 Apr - ★★★★★
    A masterpiece. The best horror film I've ever seen. The pacing and escalation are perfect.
  7. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 - 1 May - ★★★½
    Entertaining enough, and the cast can be funny. Didn't like the antagonist.
  8. Detective Conan: The Crimson Love Letter - 21 May - ★★
    Only the second Detective Conan movie I've watched. The plot wasn't very interesting, and the romantic sub-plot wasn't even resolved.
  9. Wonder Woman - 10 June - ★★★½
    Excellent cinematography. Found the plot a bit dull after the first act.
  10. Transformers: The Last Knight - 28 June - ★★★½
    After all the scathing reviews I was expecting this to be "so bad it's good", and this was the case for its ludicrous story. Apart from that, it was genuinely funny and entertaining for the most part, more so than any of the previous instalments.
  11. Spider-Man: Homecoming - 08 July - ★★★★
    Pretty damn good, Tom Holland nailed it. I'd still rate the original Spider-Man 2 higher if only because fighting Dr Octopus makes a better spectacle (Vulture is the superior character though).
  12. In This Corner of the World - 23 July - ★★★★
    Anime film set in Hiroshima during WWII. Beautifully animated with plenty of heart.
  13. Dunkirk - 29 July - ★★½
    Another WWII movie! Much unlike his usual work, Christopher Nolan chose not to give any of the main characters much personality beyond "let's get on with it", which is understandable but makes for dull viewing. It's like he tried to make a documentary of an AAA movie. Cinematography was excellent.
  14. It - 16 Sep - ★★★★
    Generally good adaptation of the novel
    half of it that is
    . Great acting from some of the kids, I much preferred watching them play off each other to the generally predictable or hokey horror sequences.
  15. Kingsman: The Golden Circle - 30 Sep - ★★★½
    Not as well written as the first one and frankly they went too far with the wackiness this time. Most of the new characters were underused. Still entertaining with some cool action sequences.
 
Doing this for the first time. Motivating me to work on backlog

Charles Alan Ratliff - 3/50 books | 48/50 movies

Last year I doubled my book count from the previous year, reading a total of 8. That's a lot for me. I did exceed my movie goal, watching a total of 58 in 2016. Now let's see if I can do both goals in 2017.


5-star scale. No halfsies.
