2016: The Stats

Well, here we are again. Time for the stats concerning my film consumption last year! Why are we doing this, again? Because I love stats!

I have to admit my movie-watching has been less than impressive last year. I'm way behind my dream goal (365 films) and my realistic goal (more than 300), but that's because I've watched a ton of TV. This, however is not the time for excuses, this post is just about the raw numbers, and here they are:
