From 2020 to 2025 I watched 2370 movies.
In January 2026 I watched another 35, for a total of 2405 movies.

This month:
* Wrapping up Fincher.
* More 1957.
* Barbra Streisand, probably.

The movie that dares to ask, what if somebody wrote 1941's "Citizen Kane" and that somebody's name was —

#40, or #2410, 2020 David Fincher picture "Mank."

Surely, you might think, 1941's "Citizen Kane" was only directed? No, says 2020's "Mank," it was written also.

@Alexis No one *writes* movies. Surely all movies are only directed? A script falls out of a coconut tree and then someone directs it, we call this person the auteur, no author involved.

@kurt Well, no wonder I can't get a movie made, the nearest coconut tree is *thinks* probably on a South American island somewhere.
