Street Fighter was definitely for the fans. Raul Julia turned in one heck of a performance for his kids(who he really did the movie for because they loved the game) and despite the fact he was battling stomach cancer. Conversely, Van Damme was barely coherent.

Well, the start of 2026 is a reminder that I need to watch more movies or at least "higher quality" movies. I only added 25 movies from the 1001 I must see before I die series, leaving me at 46% (585/1,259). I am at 42% towards the 2024 edition of the book. On the plus side, I am at 52% for the "1001 Movies...Letterboxd Members" list, but it has some questionable entries. I mean..."Street Fighter"..."Dude Bro Massacre III"...? Maybe I should hide my head in shame.
But I won't! What I lacked in movies, I packed in DuoLingo, hitting a 367-day streak! I was also in the top 4% of learners, so I'll take progress where I can.

I am not sure what my passion project would be, but if anyone out there joined the "Don't Die" health movement, please comment below. I just finished the documentary last night and the thought of "Goals" will never be the same again.

More realistically, There is a book series called "1001 Movies Your Must See Before You Die," and I have been on a mission to watch as many of them as possible. They release updated versions of the book every so often, so there are roughly 1,240 movies in the entire collection (check it out here). So far, I have seen 560 or 45% of them and I would love to hit 50% this year.

๐ Happy New Year, Community! ๐
I hope you've all had a wonderful holiday and you're back in the Genesys community, ready to get to know each other better with a new year of "Question of the Month." This year we are going to have a different badge style to reward you with, so if you don't see your badge pop up right away, don't worry! It's on the way. We are just waiting to get them all designed and ready to go. Andy who knows??? Maybe we'll give you a sneak peek on the new designs and ask your opinion on which badge we should go with...
But in the meantime, you can have a little fun with us and answer this first QOTM for January:
Are you working on any passion projects right now? Keep in mind this can be Genesys related, not Genesys related, volunteer work, crafty stuff, or anything that's got you revved up!
For me, I started making resin jewelry for holiday gifts and I'm really loving the process. I made bottle openers, wine toppers, necklaces and more! I just purchased some more molds and different materials to take my crafting skills to the next level. Last year, my passion project was fostering dogs, but since I adopted one of them (adoption fail!) I had to pick something less furry with less responsibility.
Above is a bottle opener I made for my husband and below are some earrings I made for friends.
Can't wait to hear about your passion projects in the comments below! Remember, badges may show up a little late, but I will get them to ya :)
