(I haven't seen it yet, but) What did you think of Rise of Skywalker? Just in general terms (not asking for spoilers!) since I got the impression that a lot of people found it kind of meh/disappointing. I'd like to know your impression!

[flamebyrd]

You know, it's been several days and I'm still not sure. It did very few of the things I was hoping it would, but also only a couple of the things I was hoping it wouldn't do? I enjoyed it while watching but finished it being disappointed as a whole? But ultimately I didn't dislike it as much as I was expecting to.

You know, it's been several days and I'm still not sure.

This is exactly how I felt for 24 hours after watching The Force Awakens, so I feel you on that!

Thank you for your clarity!

this is random, but I really like how simple and nice this list is and I might steal you the idea for this year :D

[flamebyrd]

Thank you! I find it helpful for my own memory-keeping. Usually there's also a "live events" section where I list concerts and the like, but I didn't go to any last year.

In 2019 I tried to keep it up to date as I went along, although last night I realised I did actually miss at least one thing (the BBC Radio LotR adaptation, which I will add shortly).

...And just as I was going to post this comment I realised I did attend a live event last year so I'm going to add that too XD

xD I can see how filling it as you go would be helpful. And I like the idea I can look back and see all this in one glance, when I wonder what I've done of my year.
