It's 2023, which means this is #MovieThread IV: #MovieThread Lives!
In 2020 I watched 239 movies.
In 2021 I watched 391 movies.
In 2022 I watched 413 movies.
Which math says is 1043 movies, instead of the 1063 my own count was at, so evidently I'm: Not Very Good At Counting.
Is this even #MovieThread IV? Could it have been released as #MovieThread II in America?
Let's not think about it too much.

#214, or #1258, 2023's "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny."
Alex Daily!
in reply to Alex Daily! • • •Alex Daily!
in reply to Alex Daily! • • •It obviously exists primarily so the franchise and the character can go out on a high note, (I liked Crystal Skull,) but it's an Indiana Jones movie that looks and feels like an Indiana Jones movie, and it's a great time at the movies at that.
A lovely place to end it.
