I've only seen 32% of the 2022 Sight & Sound list, which is shameful. So my New Year's resolution is to get that number to at least 50% by year's end, which means watching 46 movies. Starting with:

#NowWatching John Ford's The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962).
Just read a news story that Finland spends more money per capita on OnlyFans than any other country in the world, any by quite a large margin too.

Did we finally figure out why we're the happiest country in the world? Proud to be a Finn! This is cause for celebration!

#NowWatching Alfred Hitchcock's last movie, Family Plot (1976).

To anyone planning to make a YouTube video titled "I watched [insert bad thing] so you don't have to":

I appreciate the gesture but literally no one thinks they HAVE to watch that, so you don't either.

I saw Mulholland Drive for the first time in 2002 in Tampere's Arthouse Cinema Niagara, didn't understand it and quite frankly hated it.

Seen it a few times since and have grown to appreciate, maybe even love it.

#NowRewatching Mulholland Drive in that same theater 23 years later.

Had a fun 2 hour train ride home, about half of that time the passenger in front of me scrolled through pics of bikini girls on Instagram, not realizing I saw his phone the whole time in the reflection in the window.

Russia invaded a sovereign country, murdered, tortured, raped and pillaged, targeted hospitals and homes, kidnapped countless children, wages cyber war on the entire West, and Trump thought it would be a good idea to reward them for it.

As ever, fuck Putin and fuck his lapdog Trump.

#NowWatching Oliver Laxe's Sirāt.

Since I'm in town while the Night Visions festival is underway, would be a shame not to take part at least a little.

#NowWatching Kevin and Michaela McManus' Redux Redux.

Crossed another big one off the bucket list and saw Kraftwerk tonight. And I can confirm they still kick ass.

I saw six movies in theaters in the past week, and sat through Coca-Cola's terrible AI slop ad six times.

Considering switching to Pepsi for the rest of my life.
