Walk of Fame Project update featuring MEANINGLESS MATH!

I’m making sure I’ve seen at least one thing for every person or group represented by a motion picture star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. According to my janky spreadsheet I hit a milestone yesterday with Betty Furness: 75% viewed! But there’s a catch: I’m filling in the gaps in order, and if you look only at what I’ve consecutively completed I’m only about 15.6 percent done.

A map showing about 85 percent of the Hollywood Walk of Fame highlighted in yellow, and about 15% highlighted in red.

The red part is what’s done and consecutive. It looks like a long way to go, but it’s not as bad as it looks since for every star left to do I have three already done. It’s taken me 160 days to get this far. At that rate I’ll finish around May of 2028, but I don’t think that’s a very accurate predictor. Vine has a lot of old silent stars on it, and they don’t overlap much. If I keep up my current watch rate I could finish as early as April of 2028!

Also: I’m making a Letterboxd list of all the things I’ve watched for this project.
