The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
4,329 films were submitted to the 2012 Cannes Film Festival. This blog had 36,000 views in 2012. If each view were a film, this blog would power 8 Film Festivals

Very well done, even if you have two seriously disturbed characters as your numbers one and two commenters. I’m gonna have to see if I can’t overcome that slight, 13-comment discrepancy so we can get them in the PROPER order! 😉
Yeah, I know, I’m behind in things. I’ll get my stats posted soon – turnabout IS fair play, after all. 😀

You have, according to today’s stats, taken the lead. Frank is falling down in his duties.

Al-RIGHT, I’m kicking the old man’s … (Ahem) Er .. um .. I mean, ya gotta cut Frank a little slack, he’s been a bit overwhelmed with his new celebrity status. (Snickers, goes off mumbling softly) “I’m number one! I’m number one!” 😀

I had a really cute, pithy comment written and in my holiday haze (I’m exhausted) hit the wrong button which erased my comment! Aaugh!!
Congrats on your wonderful stats. (I can’t believe that Frank beat me as the most frequent commenter–I shall have to up my game in 2013.) As to changing some of your formatting, I can’t figure out the widgets more than I have either. Frank tried to help me download a video and I thoroughly flunked his tutorial. Have a very happy new year from our house to your house!

Your is way more topical for your blog, though. I don’t think I’ve ever written about a movie. Although I have been to Cannes (sans movie stars).
