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).
#NowWatching John Ford's The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962).
#NowWatching Emma Thompson in The Dead of Winter, a movie shot right here in Finland!
(And when I say right here, I mean several hundred kilometers from right here, in Lapland.)

Eppu Normaali is one of Finland's oldest and biggest rock bands, and Screaming Thunders is a side project formed by half of its members. They exclusively play CCR and John Fogerty covers, and they rock! Saw them live for the second time tonight, and it was excellent.

Netflix released two movies a week apart that both made me go "Whoa, that guy got old, almost didn't recognize him because of the gray hair."

Only five years until the FIFA World Cup is held in a civilized and democratic country again. Weird that they took a 16 year break.

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!
