William Shakespeare and Martin L. Gore, the two greatest English poets of all time. #LastFourWatched

It's gonna be a busy week, as four movies I really want to see all come out today. So I braved the cold and #NowWatching Chloé Zhao's Hamnet.

I made a 2000 playlist. No particular reason.

As a teenager, I unironically loved Limp Bizkit. A decade later I loved Limp Bizkit ironically, as a joke. Today I find I've come around to loving Limp Bizkit (or at least some their stuff) unironically again.

#NowWatching Guru Dutt's Pyaasa (1957), ranked #185 on the #SightandSound poll.

#NowWatching Natalie Musteata and Alexandre Singh's Oscar-nominated short film Two People Exchanging Saliva. youtu.be/RuOEEu--j2Y

T. Roosevelt: "Speak softly and carry a big stick." D. Trump: "Rant and rave like an insecure bully to compensate for your tiny, misshapen stick."

My #LastFourWatched includes nazis and su*cide, and yet Marty Supreme was the most stressful movie I've seen in a while.

Science has finally explained Mulholland Drive's ending.

January/February is a busy time in theaters here in Finland because many of the Oscar contenders come out a little later in these parts than in the US. #NowWatching Josh Safdie's Marty Supreme at the first possible screening in my city.

#NowWatching Lynne Ramsay's Morvern Callar (2002), ranked #243 on the #SightandSound poll.

Last night's Aurora Borealis over Greenland.

Re: Greenland. Can we stop imagining Trump is anything other than certifiably insane?

#NowWatching Yasujirō Ozu's Late Spring (1949), ranked #21 on the #SightandSound poll. #Japanuary

The local theater advertises free infinite refills on popcorn today. I'm thankful for the warning so I know to stay away. Nothing I want less than trying to watch a movie while people constantly go in and out of the room with their popcorn buckets.

#NowWatching Antti J. Jokinen's Kalevala: The Story of Kullervo. It's based on Kalevala, a collection of old Finnish folklore, THE Finnish national epic, and one of the books that inspired Tolkien to create Middle Earth.

A couple of days ago I rewatched South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut for the first time in 15 years. The movie has several catchy songs, so why's the Satan song the one that's been rattling around in my brain for the last two days?

Must be at least 15 years since the last time I saw the South Park movie, I was a little surprised by how well I still remembered it. #LastFourWatched

#NowWatching Lynne Ramsay's debut feature Ratcatcher (1999).

My Star Wars rakings: Good: 1. The Empire Strikes Back 2. Star Wars Okay: 3. The Last Jedi 4. Return of the Jedi 5. The Force Awakens 6. Rogue One Bad: 7. The Phantom Menace 8. Solo Very bad: 9. Attack of the Clones 10. Revenge of the Sith 11. The Rise of Skywalker

Within a minute from seeing the Patreon notification, I was out the door and on my way to the library. #NowRewatching Star Wars: The Last Jedi with @fthismovie.bsky.social's commentary.

#NowWatching Chris Löfvén's Oz - A Rock'n'Roll Road Movie a.k.a. 20th Century Oz (1976).

A horror movie with a runtime under 90 minutes? Yes please! #NowWatching Johannes Roberts' Primate.

#NowWatching Sidney Lumet's The Wiz (1978).

First live gig of the year tonight with Finnish rapper Paleface.

Embarked on a World Tour that spanned four continents. #LastFourWatched

First theater trip of the year! #NowWatching Park Chan-wook's No Other Choice.

#NowWatching Piotr Szulkin's O-Bi, O-Ba: The End of Civilization (1985).

#NowWatching the first movie in Tarik Saleh's Cairo trilogy, The Nile Hilton Incident (2017).

Quentin Dupieux is my favorite director named Quentin.

Movie pitch: the star of The Court Jester and the singer from Bloodhound Gang form a duo to battle supernatural evil: Kaye, Pop: Demon Hunters

Wake up babe, new Quentin Dupieux movie just dropped! #NoWWatching The Piano Accident (2025).

Renewed my Playstation Plus sub and was awarded a free movie from the PS5 video store (inexplicably called Sony Pictures Core). Browsed for a long time and found nothing I wanted to watch, until... #NowRewatching Andrew Bergman's It Could Happen to You (1994) for the first time since the 90's.

#NowWatching Emilie Blichfeldt's The Ugly Stepsister (2025).

#NowRewatching Stanley Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove (1964), starring George C. Scott and some other people.

#NowWatching Len Wiseman's Ballerina: From the Book of Saw or whatever it's called.

#NowWatching Roberto Rossellini's Journey to Italy (1954), ranked #72 on the 2022 #SightandSound poll.

The U.S. had the better players, Finland had the better team. This is what sisu looks like. I'll be walking through a haze today because I stayed up till 4 am to watch the game, but it was definitely worth it. Proud of my boys!

Halfway through the decade! What are your favourite films each year so far? 2020: Palm Springs 2021: The Blind Man Who Did Not Want to See Titanic 2022: The Menu 2023: Godzilla Minus One 2024: The Life of Chuck 2025: It Was Just an Accident

I'm calling it now: George C. Scott will be at (or at least near) the top of my most watched actors in 2026. #NowWatching Richard Fleischer's The Last Run (1971).

An uneven start to the year. #LastFourWatched

#NowRewatching Victor Fleming's The Wizard of Oz (1939) with @blankcheck.bsky.social's commentary track.

2025 @letterboxd.social stats!

As per long held tradition (which I started a year ago), I'm kicking off the new year with a sci-fi movie set in that year. #NowRewatching Andrzej Bartkowiak's Doom for the first time since opening weekend in 2005.

A hastily thrown together list of my favorites of 2025:

Happy New Year everyone! 2025 wasn't a bad year, unless you take into account everything that happened.

Last movie of the year: #NowWatching Shane Black's Play Dirty (2025).

This soap I bought claims to "boost your mood" with "fragrance technology developed to drive your mood". Does anyone else think this sounds like some dystopian big brother mind control shit or am I the only one?
