What Came Before 101: A Big List Of All Anarch-O-Meters So Far

[Anarch-O-Meters will remain at the top of the page for the duration of the day they were published. Please scroll down for today’s film news]

Time flies when you're having fun, especially if you can't count.

I expected that shortly we'd have to do a special ScreenAnarchy-O-Meter because number 100 was coming up. But when I finished counting them all, guess what: I was already too late. Last week was actually the hundredth of these that got published.

Which makes this ScreenAnarchy-O-Meter number 101.
And that gave me the idea to put up a list with links to all the 100 which had come before.

Sometimes we do get asked what the ScreenAnarchy-O-Meter is supposed to be, or what its purpose is. What it is is quickly answered: it's a weekly column, mostly (but not always) in the form of a list or a countdown.

What the purpose is takes a bit longer to explain, but it basically amounts to this: here at ScreenAnarchy, most of the time we write about news. New movies, new plans from actors and directors, new DVDs...
But we didn't become film fans because of news. We started to love films because of specific titles, specific events, specific genre highlights. The ScreenAnarchy-O-Meter was invented so we had a chance to write about things we love and hate. And to share opinions and other stuff which does not necessarily constitute news.

These are our labors of love, or at least they should be. And what have we done with the freedom this column grants us? Find out after the break!

So here it is: the full and comprehensive list of all ScreenAnarchy-O-Meters ever written, with links to all of them.
Have fun (as we sure did when we wrote them)!
