Okay, so, a weird thing happened. Seven years ago I wrote this list to make a point about how bad Finnish movies are. Then they got good. Really good.

Aki vs. Evil – The Disappointment that Is Abigail
It wasn’t admittedly that much of a disappointment, but simply because the premise wasn’t very promising.
Spooooiiiileeerrrsssss!!! Nothing major actually.
Calling Myself a “Nerd”
Apparently, there are people out there who think it’s not okay. I kind of get them, but I also very much disagree.
Godard and the “Video Kids”
There has been way too few mentions of Jean-Luc Godard on this blog, so in order to cement myself as a pure movie snob, let’s talk about him a bit.
Outlaws of Thunder Junction and Parasitic Flavor
Years ago Mark Rosewater talked about parasitic design. This was the situation where a set or block (remember those?) worked well mechanically on its own, but not really with other sets. I think the go-to example was the original Kamigawa block.
Outlaws of Thunder Junction’s Big Score Is Kind of Embarrassing
What is Big Score? A year ago, they tried the Aftermath. It was a small set of 50 cards that was sold in booster packs of 4. However, those packs were priced similarly to regular packs. Of course, the consumers are not stupid and there was an immediate backlash. So, they decided to scrap the similar product that was planned for this year and 30 of those cards were rolled into Outlaws of Thunder Junction.
Parhaat Cineast-elokuvat

Siellä oli paljon roskaa. Silti, se oli ilmainen ja siksi olin vähän pettynyt, kun se lähti.
Let’s Take a Look at the Positive Effects of Plagiarism and You(Tube)
You know the hbomberguy video about plagiarism that destroyed at least one career? I’ll let others talk about that, while I’ll go directly to the end. There’s a section there, where Harris talks about other queer content creators, who he recommends as alternatives to James Somerton. He also gathered these and more in a playlist called Your New Favorite YouTubers. Who knows? They very well might be, although there’s a bunch of people you already probably know.
The Magical History of Black 2/1s for B
I haven’t done these in a long while, because making these always takes a horribly long time. So, I chose something that’s actually easy to cover, because there isn’t that many of these cards.
