2017: The Stats

2017 was the year where I resigned to the fact that I can't watch 400 films in a year, while watching 700 TV-episodes. So I didn't. And I stopped feeling bad about it. Yay me. So, no complaints that I managed less than 300 films in the past year. Besides, the quality is what counts, right?

And so, we've once again reached that time when I have to come up with my lists of the best and worst film experiences of the year, but before we get to those: Here are the stats.....
