It’s my thousandth post! Coming up on the four-year anniversary of my movie blog – I celebrated the first<\/a> and second<\/a> but missed the third – time to take stock of things.<\/p>\n

62% of my web traffic comes from Google image search and 99.9% of my comments are from spammers (much thanks to the Defensio plugin for auto-deleting those). So not a lot of regular readers. But let’s face it, if this wasn’t my own blog I wouldn’t read it either. I guess I will never be a famous film writer, damn it all.<\/p>\n

Almost half the movies covered here are from the last decade (that percentage will only increase in the next 11 months, what with my best-of-decade project<\/a> currently in progress).<\/p>\n

Included in the 1690 titles (including shorts):
\n8 by Takashi Miike<\/a>, Sam Fuller<\/a>, Charles Burnett<\/a>, Pedro Almodovar<\/a>, Howard Hawks<\/a>, Peter Watkins<\/a>
\n9 by Fritz Lang<\/a>
\n10 by Stuart Gordon<\/a>, Brian De Palma<\/a>
\n11 by Luis Bunuel<\/a>, Werner Herzog<\/a>
\n12 by Joe Dante<\/a>, Eric Rohmer<\/a>
\n13 by David Lynch<\/a>, Guy Maddin<\/a>
\n16 by Alain Resnais<\/a>, Jacques Rivette<\/a>, Agnes Varda<\/a>, Buster Keaton<\/a>
\n25 by Chris Marker<\/a><\/p>\n

Taking stock of big movie-list quests:
\nThe IMDB<\/strong> changed their search so I can’t simply list the top-250 films I haven’t seen, and it doesn’t seem worth counting by hand. Wasn’t such an interesting list, anyway. I’m around 427\/1000 (up from 380 in 2009) on Rosenbaum’s<\/strong> list (with 65% of his top 100), 554\/1000 (up from 500) on the They Shoot Pictures<\/strong> list (helped significantly by a site update which replaced some more obscure titles with popular ones), 266\/515 (52%, up from 47%) on the Criterion<\/strong> list and a piddling 10\/95 (13%) on the Eclipse<\/strong> list. Those should continue to keep me busy for a good while.<\/p>\n

It continues to give me pleasure to watch my little movies, write these little posts, and track them in my fancy, sortable index<\/a>. Carry on, then.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
