I get you on that point. I haven't been enjoying film watching as much lately either, but I've been trying to use various tricks to keep up and not fail at the hobby. Challenges help, as I like those stats. The rankings/top 500 club stats help. But not always. So sometimes it boils down to watching a film to complement my moods. Like if I'm generally pissed off, I'll watch something with tons of guns/explosions. High times are usually met with terrible films (because that's how they're most fun). Docs come up when I want to learn something (or be challenged/pissed off). Wife is also getting into writing and is enjoying watching some classics for the storytelling elements (she's even starting to rate films!!!), so it's fun to rewatch some of the classics.
The progress along the way is as satisfying as the ultimate end-point. Updating in a month and seeing numbers go up in most or all columns will juice me up.Onderhond wrote: ↑August 4th, 2020, 10:06 pm I think awards are a better stimulant than this mega-challenge. If you're really going for this, it might be a thing that burns you out rather than gives you energy. This is more something for the long, but maybe that's just because I'm way behind on almost every list. Then again, looking at sebby's stats he still has 65 lists to go to get into the club, that's quite an uphill battle.
Then again, I'm more of a "slow and steady wins the race" guy anyway. Could be that people really get the hang of it again when shooting for the 500 club![]()
Of course, best to look for low-hanging fruit first then, because you could just as well work on a single list for a month and see only 1 list flip from one column to the next
Yeah I've added a dozen or so films from lists on which I rank 500-600 on my watchlist for this month, so the top 500 # should increase. I guess I could also platinum a few IMDB lists, but that's a kind of pain I'm not ready for. Platinums have never really held great appeal to me anyway, for whatever reason.
Something else you could try (although it'd require some up front investment on your part) is to make a guerrilla drive-in. Get a projector, FM transmitter and generator. Find a spot and invite some folks. Nothing to reinvigorate the cinema experience like a fun night at the drive-in.sebby wrote: ↑August 4th, 2020, 10:30 pmThe progress along the way is as satisfying as the ultimate end-point.

Hey brain, please give me rewards for watching certain films. Trick me into associating film-watching with happiness again as I get closer to this somewhat arbitrary top 500. And maybe from there I get back to where I used to be re enjoyment of film.
All that out of the way, here is my little table of progress. Make me happy, statistics! Or else I may give up on a thing that I have loved for 3 decades. No pressure!

I tend to get pretty obsessed with lists too. Although I also watch stuff I have sitting around the house I haven't seen yet that I bought. And I watch stuff for challenges. So I usually look for the intersection between at least two of those three factors when I'm picking stuff to watch. And with so many lists and me buying so much crap and with three challenges every month, my well doesn't really ever run dry.mightysparks wrote: ↑August 5th, 2020, 3:03 pm+ 1.

one list down, one to goxianjiro wrote: ↑August 5th, 2020, 9:16 am Well, things have improved substantially now that I've got a flow of discs again - only two lists keep me out of the Top 200 club: the new Russian list (#211) & EuroHorror (#213). Now all I need to find are three films but didn't have much luck with the library search for Russians I haven't seen yet. EuroHorror is a no-brainer but the Russian list will probably be a touch more work.

not sure what happened when I checked this - the Turkish list didn't show at the bottom even though I'm #466 - so, still have two lists keeping out of the Top 200 Club.xianjiro wrote: ↑August 9th, 2020, 3:42 amone list down, one to goxianjiro wrote: ↑August 5th, 2020, 9:16 am Well, things have improved substantially now that I've got a flow of discs again - only two lists keep me out of the Top 200 club: the new Russian list (#211) & EuroHorror (#213).

Onderhond : can you add the sum of all the rank of a user ? this could be an excellent number to monitor in the future i guess.Onderhond wrote: ↑October 19th, 2020, 11:47 am Made a little script to keep better track of my Top 500 stats:
You can adapt the different steps (let counts) and the aim (let aim) at the top of the script.
The overshoot number is the number of positions left to get a Top 500 on every list. It's nice for people who like to have constant progress.
Small disclaimer: I use the ranks listed on the page itself, which can take a while to update, so it doesn't necessarily show the current situation (i.e. if you check a film, don't expect the numbers to change right away).
