Lots to dig into with this list, but let me just pick one to comment on: Legend of the Condor Heroes. I tried reading it a year or two ago, but bounced off it pretty hard at the time. Last month, however, I finished The Grace of Kings by Ken Liu, which I think I can safely say is a deliberate homage to Condor Heroes and other Wuxia classics. I absolutely loved GoK, and intend to read the rest of Liu's Dandelion Dynasty series this year. I would describe that first book precisely the way you described Condor Heroes. So, two lessons: 1) I should give Condor Heroes another shot at some point, and 2) you might enjoy The Dandelion Dynasty.
I read The Grace of Kings way back when it came out and liked it well enough, but never got around to picking up the second book. I've been meaning to restart it now that, I think, all the books are out though!
Though it won't actually give you the dates you watched them, Movielens.org is a great place to keep track of ratings of movies you watched, and if you go back and look at your ratings, you can at least list them in chronological order of when you rated them.
Ah, that's good to know. I recently started using letterbox, which seems to do something similar.
Also, I meant to describe why the Matrix 4 sucks so bad, so I'll say it here: the fight choreography and editing and direction of the fight scenes was horrible.

Ah, cool! As we say in Japan, sasuga. All four books are indeed published now.
