Just so there’s no misunderstanding here about the title of this post: I am not trying to make fun of Pride month. I am making fun of various companies that do this performative shit annually, and I’m making fun of myself as someone who would like to be an ally, but really isn’t, because I don’t really do anything besides random things like this for that community, nor do I identify as queer.
I am going to start this by basically proving myself wrong, but I think you still might want to hear me out.
My favorite superhero movie is Batman Returns. Yes, still. After over 30 years, huge leaps in CGI, and billions of dollars being spent into making those movies with a lot of talent behind them, and yet, the movie I like the most is still a weird little personal piece, which was only a hit, because it was a sequel to an actual popular movie.
I have bad news for you… Just sit down and take a deep breath. Ready? Okay.
I found a way in which Tilda Swinton is kind of boring.
Is this topic really of any interest? It is to me. Or at least it’s just funny to me. This is more about the weirdness behind being a movie fan, when you find you have dug yourself deep enough.
TL;DR: A fine movie. If you are into action and don’t mind the extreme fantasy setting, you’ll like it.
In no particular order.
TL;DR: It’s a good movie, but it is not exactly what I was expecting.
Minor spoilers.
So, those of us who are not Finnish might require a bit of an explanation on what sisu is. You’ll find a lot of different definitions, but they all seem to miss the point. Sure, sisu is about perseverance, but its not only that. Its finding the solution, no matter what.
Päivitys: Kirjastokino on kuolemassa. Sitä käyttää enää yksi aluekirjasto (Helle). Uusia elokuvia ei enää ole tai ne ovat laadutonta roskaa. Uusi palvelu on Cineast, joka näyttää heti paremmalta sisällön puolesta. En ole vielä yhtään leffaa katsonut, mutta siitä enemmän muualla.
Asuin tässä kaupungissa viisi vuotta ennen kuin hankin kirjastokortin. Tämä johtuu siitä, että tapani lukea ei oikein toimi kirjaston aikataulujen kanssa (minulla on usein samaan aikaan helposti 7-8 kirjaa työn alla, joten laina-ajat eivät oikein sovellu minulle), mutta päätin nyt vihdoin tehdä sen, koska tajusin, että meillä on Suomessakin oma kirjastojen suoratoistopalvelu, joka on ilmainen (kunhan on vaan kirjastokortti).
This doesn’t only apply to movies, but also books, comics, music, museums, whatever… any kind of media basically.
Very slight and meaningless spoilers.
