(2 * 2) + 16 = 20 space-film-nerd-points for Katriel. Maybe 21, because I have plans to see Gravity now!

[edit] Calculated total possible score to be 68.
(10*2) + 23 = 43.

Missed most <1940's.
(7*2) + 20 = 34.
(10*2) + 22 = 42! Clearly I have the most important number.

Oh and yay for British TV showing lots and lots of old stuff. *nodnod*
19.

That is all.
twunny four
(6*2) + 25 = 37 (Seeing Gravity tonight so +1 tomorrow)
