While 2012 didn't match the Film Club fervor level of 2010 and 2011 (at least for me!) there were still some good moments. I enjoyed John's recap. I apologize for bringing my girlfriends into the mix but loved seeing all the controversy they caused. I look forward to discussing Season 2 of Girls and Lena Dunham's new book in the coming year.
Other 2012 stuff
I recorded all the books that I read in 2012 HERE.
The Acoustic Blues station on Pandora and BB King's Bluesville on Sirius were my most listened to radio stations. My favorite albums from 2012 are by Fiona Apple, Jack White, and Godspeed You! Black Emperor.
I also listened to a lot of podcasts this year. Currently, I try to listen to most episodes of:
- Star Talk
- The Coode Street Podcast
- Sword & Laser
- Bookworm
- Nerdist
- Philosophy Bites
- Notebook on Cities and Culture
- WTF
- Free Speech Bites
- Filmspotting
December 2012
I watched 18 films in December and didn't write a single word about them. Two got a quick Boo though. Here's the list and their 5 star rating. Most of the films that are worth talking about have already had lengthy discussions that I missed. If anyone wants to revisit any of them, I'm willing. My New Years Resolution (well, one of them anyway) is to rededicate myself to Film Club.
