This blog acts as a personal journal of all the movies, Tv-Shows, & Games I consume during a year which enhances my overall experience. The ratings that I give are fully based on my personal preference and enjoyment at the time of watching and I'm writing spoiler-free reviews.
Hive Blog May Growth
I kind of picked up the pace a bit in May but still only got around watching 7 Movies as I'm spending way more time still plating Balatro daily. At the same time, my watchlist probably grew with 40+ movies / Tv-Shows / Games that I want to watch and play. The good thing is that I easily can pick my spot and almost everything I watch was worth the time in May with an average score I gave at 7.25.
I have also been getting some great support on my posts which kind of increases my sense of responsability and I to make each post worth it. Special Thanks to @appreciator / @ocd / @ocdb / @slobberchops / @netflixr / @crimsonclad / @solominer / @skiptvads / @incublus / @leo.voter / @ripperone and many others for the support last month!
I continue to use all the HBD that I earn and convert it to Hive to get a extra HP lease on Hive-Engine so my vote becomes worth more and more. With some good payouts coming, I should be able to keep it well above 5000 HP and I'll start looking to increase the time of incoming leases to get more stability and less pressure.
I'm back to 5800 Effective HP with a 100% vote that is now worth around 0.06$-0.07$ which at least allows me to give something back. My owned HP also continue to grow and I have no intention whatsoever to cash out anything. I really enjoy having this blog and it makes each movie or show I watch in a way extra special and memorable.
5th Month Hive Progress
| End April 2025 | End May 2025 |
|---|---|
|  |
I managed to have the biggest growth so far month over month increasing my holdings with 77.831 HP while the delegated Hive also grew a bit again.
I also had the biggest month when it comes down people who pressed the follow button at 11. I do know this will get harder and harder as time goes by. Myself now, I'm following 102 accounts but I want to keep it around 100 so I might unfollow a couple especially if there is less movie-related content or if there are these reblog overflows. The ones that I follow always have an increased change to get a manual upvote before I move on to the communities-new tab.
| Month | HP / Power Up | Growth | +Leased | Follows | Posts | Comments | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| January 2025 | 117HP (+100HP) | 17HP | 2921HP | 9 | 11 | 100 | 111 |
| February 2025 | 207 HP (+50HP) | 40HP | 3916 HP | 15 | 10 | 89 | 210 |
| March 2025 | 266 HP | 59HP | 5564 HP | 22 | 9 | 115 | 334 |
| April 2025 | 319 HP | 53 HP | 5395 HP | 28 | 5 | 78 | 417 |
| May 2025 | 397 HP | 78 HP | 5803 HP | 39 | 8 | 91 | 516 |
Pretty good numbers overall last month and I like to stick around this Quality/Quantity number when it comes down to post. I still use a https://hive.vote/ auto-upvote list so my voting doesn't go to 100% on days when I'm not around. I mainly looks at accounts who are good for Hive and/or have Media-related content. Right now on the list are @cinetv | @netflixr | @takeru255 | @incublus | @okarun | @bighungrypanda | @skiptvads | @slobberchops | @pravesh0 | @ocdb
I continue to do most curation manually though. My curation result last month inreased from 6.83% APR to now 8.70% which practically makes the leases pay for themselves.
May 2025 Movies Recap
I only watched movies last month and the 2 most memorable ones were A Silent Voice (7.9/10) which really grew on me a lot the days and the weeks after along with Sinners (7.9/10) which I'm really glad that I watched in the cinema as it really added a lot to it. I didn't go in with too much expectation but it did fully justify the high scores it is getting.
I watched one older movie with Fandango (7.5/10) which according to Tarantino is a masterpiece. I enjoyed watching it myself. As there was the news on the new Pope I ended up sticking with the theme and watched Conclave (7.0/10) which otherwise I would not have seen and it was actually better than I anticipated as it's not really the kind of movie I tend to like. In addition to this with the peak of the tennis season ongoing, I also watched Challengers (7.1/10)which also lived up to the hype.
I'm watching more and more Anime also and Perfect Blue (7.0/10) which gets a 8.0 score in imdb wasn't my thing even though I can understand why it's so highly rated. Finally Drop (6.4/10) was a mediocre no brain movie with a short runtime which served it's purpose.
June 2025 Outlook
I actually finished watching the 2nd season of Doctor who this evening which I will make a review on in a couple of days (Spoiler: I don't like Doctor Who anymore as the magic kind of is gone), I also plan to binge watch the 2nd season of Andor and have a bunch of moviesr ready which includes some older ones and some anime to choose from. The one I potentially want to go see in the Cinema is Bring Her Back which I avoided all spoilers on only knowing it's from the people that made Talk To Me which was the movie I enjoyed watched the most in 2023.
That's it for the May Recap!
