It’s time forSteven Soderberghto put all of us to shame with his multi-tasking habits again. The ever-busy filmmaker keeps a detailed log of everything he watches and reads in a given year, and he’s now released his entire list for 2017. It is, predictably, diverse, and includes films likePassengersandA Cure for Wellnessas well as TV shows likeBillions,Girls, andThe Americans. He also took the time to watch Episode 8 ofTwin Peakstwice, and he’s seen nine cuts ofOcean’s Eightalready—the spinoff that he produced and thatGary Rossdirected.
And while Soderbergh watched two episodes ofDavid Fincher’s seriesMindhunterin 2016 (the two filmmakers are buddies so he got an early peek), it appears he binged the whole series like the rest of us when it was released on Netflix in October.
Other things of note: Soderbergh found time for a rewatch ofMad Max: Fury Roadas well asZodiac, went on a spy/thriller tear at the end of the year, and binged all of the new season ofBlack Mirrorin two days. Is it too much to ask for Soderbergh to direct aBlack MirrorSeason 5 episode?
