Bees Love Truth

Well, last year we started out strong, but soon slipped from our proper moviewatching ways onto the HBO series path. You can tell when this happened: September and October. I may have to make a bar graph, if only because it's almost the exact opposite of 2007's pattern. Overall the count is 89 movies for 2008, which is somewhat better than the 50-something we managed last year. Hooray!
