Might as well call it the "Trump Peace Prize" because we all know Infantino made it for him in the first place. #FIFA #Trump

Oh, and here is an ever-relevant illustration by Norwegian cartoonist Christian Bloom.

Watched #AvatarFireandAsh yesterday at an early pre-screening, and now that the social media embargo has been lifted, I'll say this:
The third film in Cameron's five-part epic is epic, overwhelming and extremely good.
It is also darker and more complex than the first two films.

It's Friday, so here are my #LastFourWatched:

Rewatched the #Avatar films (again) before the (early) screening of Fire & Ash nest week. Also, The Running Man was fun, but forgettable. Tron: Ares was just forgettable.

It's Friday, so that means #LastFourWatched.
Wicked: For Good is still under embargo, but I can say that I really liked it. Troll 2 is under full embargo, so... no comment? 🥴

What a night!
Thank you to Universal and the Wicked team for inviting me to London for the European premiere of Wicked: For Good.
I had a great time.

Spent most of the day writing the review for The Witcher (season 4).
It's a hefty one, and I've long since realized how much of a fantasy and sci-fi nerd I am. I watched all 8 episodes in one day, after all. ⚔️🤓

Tonight's movie will be The Life Of Chuck, and I can't wait. I missed the press screening for this one, and now they sent it to me as a For Your Consideration screener. So it's going up on the big screen.

I mean, Mike Flanagan (@mikeflanaganfilm.com) adapting King with an amazing cast? 🤩

I know who pulled off the #Louvre heist.
If you're Norwegian, you know too... 😁

After getting told off by Alan Tudyk over on Threads a couple of weeks ago for being critical to the "magical child befriending an alien" trope in sci-fi, I've finally started watching #ResidentAlien.

And after the first few episodes, I have to say: This is brilliant! 🤓

Review written and scheduled for #ITWelcometoDerry.
Come float (and subscribe) to read it when it releases. 🤡

I admit that I couldn't decide if A Minecraft Movie was genius or idiotic. Or both.

Alright, USA. It's okay. It's safe here.
You don't have to say it out loud if you don't want to.
But can you point on this map and tell me where the bad man touched your free press?

Meanwhile, in Austria, three elderly nuns escaped from their retirement home to return to and occupy their now-abanoned convent. 😁
Now that's a logline for a movie right there! Casting? Genre? Conflicts? Side characters?

Watching season 2 of #Peacemaker. I'll have an in-depth review of it coming on my Substack (thebullseye.no) when the embargo is lifted next week. 🦅

My review of #Wednesday season 2 comes out on my Substack very soon.
It's darker, more grotesque and, especially with certain new cast members, hilarious. 😁

Branching out from film & TV! I was invited by Weta Workshop to review their debut game, #TalesoftheShire.

Full review lands on my Substack on Monday, but my pre-embargo thought: as a huge Tolkien fan, I'm having a hilariously cozy time. Pure therapy.

Hold on to your tricorders and self-sealing stem bolts. This one’s going to get nerdy!

Checking in from the FIPRESCI critic's jury at Brussels International Film Festival, which means I'm watching a lot of films I normally wouldn't even hear about. 🧐
