2024 Letterboxd Stats!
It’s that time of year again, although I have been a little slow in posting to check out the Letterboxd stats for the previous year. I love these stats and find it very interesting to keep a check on which films I have watched. Something interesting for 2024 is that I didn’t watch many films multiple times, feels strange to have only logged When Harry Met Sally twice!
I actually thought my film watching was a bit lower but it was a few more than 2023 although I don’t think the highs of 2020 and even 2021 with the main lockdown/furlough and then that smaller lockdown at the start of 2021 will ever be beaten.
As you can probably tell from my stats I did a revisit to X-Men and The Hunger Games which sees Jennifer Lawernce take the top spot, some interesting ones in the actors due to that.
What are your stats for 2024?
Did you have a film you watched on repeat and who was your top star?

Wicked Movie Merch – Crocs
The only people who don’t like Crocs are people who have never worn Crocs, I used to be one of them and I now have four pairs in different colours. I have to say when I first got the email about Wicked Crocs I was very curious and while the Glinda pair aren’t something I would wear I do feel they capture the character so well! The Elphba one’s on the other hand, I would be tempted. These are more pricey than your standard Crocs. You can also get some Jibbitz charms as well.
Glinda – £89.99 – LINK HERE
Elphaba – £64.99 – LINK HERE
Would you go Pink or Green on these Crocs?
Wicked Movie Merchandise
Everywhere has gone Wicked crazy with all the pink that goes so good with green merchandise, and I am totally loving it in all honesty. Whilst also trying to be sensible and not buy EVERYTHING. Even though I want well most of it, I have bought two POP figture keychains and the Popcorn Bucket from Cineworld. So I thought this would be a great time to start doing some posts on where you can get different merch from, to be fully greenified.
The marketing around the film as been on point and it is brilliant. I mean I already have quite a bit of merch from the stage show which I think includes four different Defying Gravity t-shirts as well as owning a flying monkey.
Wicked: Cookie Pie – Love Lily (Sunderland)
Everywhere has gone Wicked crazy that’s for sure and I am certainly loving it and attempting to get as many of the different items as possible. This one is in food form from Love Lily which is local to the North East of England with three places in Sunderland.
As you can see they created an incredible Lindt Cookie Pie and naturally I just had to get two slices, it is truly outstanding! A lovely combination of the pink and green theme, the famous hat all put together in spectular fashion!

Wicked (2024) Review
Life has never been easy for Elphaba after being born totally green, resented by her father and ridiculed by everyone she meets. Everything is about to change when her powers are spotted and she attends Shiz University. An unlikely friendship with a very popular girl named Glinda would change everything.
*Wicked: Part I*

London, Monday 18th November 2024
Director Jon M. Chu was joined by Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, Jeff Goldblum, Michelle Yeoh, Jonathan Bailey and more of the spectacular cast of the upcoming film, Wicked. The UK premiere was the final tour stop on the global press tour ahead of the films release this Friday, 22 November.
Special guests in attendance to celebrate the release include: Alan Carr, Henry Golding, Kimberley Walsh, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Mabel, Maisie Peters, Munroe Bergdorf, Olly Alexander, and previous ‘Wicked’ cast from the West End.
Based on one of the most beloved and enduring stage musicals in Broadway history, Wicked is the untold story of the witches of Oz, starring Emmy, Grammy and Tony winning and Oscar®-nominated powerhouse Cynthia Erivo (Harriet, Broadway’s The Color Purple) as Elphaba, a young woman misunderstood because of her unusual green skin who has yet to discover her true power, and Grammy-winning, multi-platinum recording artist Ariana Grande as Glinda, a popular young woman gilded by privilege and ambition who has yet to discover her true heart.
