I'm almost 33, and as a teenager I was heavily into movies. Like I would watch many per week alongside reading a lot of books. I don't really know what happened as I got older but I stopped watching movies and typically I only watched a handful per year and they were always old favourites of mine so never anything new. I recently got into a reading rut and I moved house a few weeks ago, so I didn't really feel like just re watching a TV show or watching YouTube. I decided to get back into movies again and actually re-establish my tastes as a 32 year old woman because for new movies I had no real idea what I would actually like.

In the past few weeks I've watched The Substance, Abigail (2024), Room (2015), Anora, Femme (2023), Bugonia, The Favourite, The Piano Teacher (2001), Promising Young Woman, Exotica (1994), Arrival (2016), and Pillion (2025).

The ones I absolutely Ioved were The Substance, Anora, The Favourite and Exotica. Ones I liked were Bugonia, Room, Pillion, Abigail, and Arrival. I also think I discovered a new favourite director in Yorgos Lanthimos - I seem to really vibe with his stuff so that's really fun :)

I really disliked The Piano Teacher, which is shame because it seemed so interesting but I just didn't click with it unfortunately.

But I just wanted to share this because I'm really excited about getting back into an old hobby of mine, and here's my Letterboxd if anyone's interested in adding me :) https://boxd.it/8JZYp

First pic is from 7th June 2025 where I weighed 247.7 pounds, and the second pic is from today where I weigh 207.1 pounds. Still a long way to go but looking at the difference like this is awesome :)

Edit: My mother in law is getting married at the end of August if you were wondering, but I'm sure you weren't lol
