Movie streak ends at 79 weeks

[dougo]

I hate getting sucked into keeping a streak alive (daily, weekly, or whatever): it feels dumb to change my behavior solely to prevent breaking the streak, but it also just feels really bad to break an impressively long streak. I summoned up the willpower to quit Wordle cold-turkey a while back, but for over a year now I've been keeping my streak alive of seeing at least one movie per week, specifically at the AMC Boston Common 19. Alas, I was sick all week last week, and it didn't seem prudent to risk being a superspreader at the theater (or on the T) simply to keep this dumb streak alive, so I had to let it end at 79 weeks (69 at that theater). It was a good run, but it's a big relief to not have to think about it anymore. Down with streaks!

Here's my Swarm checkin for the final week of the streak. It's unfortunate that it wasn't a better movie to go out with. (I did see a few better movies later in the week, but nothing really worth mentioning.)
