  Yeah, felt the effects of it being drawn out so much.

• BrianSez Dec 23, 2012 1:59PM

  Ah – so you ended up being annoyed by the 3-way Hobbit split up

• Wick Dec 23, 2012 12:41PM

  Upon further reflection, I’m rating The Hobbit as Very Good, not Great. So pulled it out of the list.

• BrianSez Dec 16, 2012 8:28AM

  It has been a great year!

• Wick Dec 10, 2012 12:06AM

  29 with less than a month till New Years. May catch 2011’s final tally of 33.

• Wick Sep 1, 2012 10:35PM

  21 two-thirds of the way through the year. Shaping up to be a very good year.

• Wick Jul 1, 2012 12:34PM

  14 at mid-year, very good pace.

• Wick May 8, 2012 1:49AM

  Nine by early May. Good pace.
