The 24 movies I saw for the first time in 2024 :)
1-Jan-2024: 1. Chicken run: Dawn of the nugget
6-Jan-2024: 2. Armageddon (2023)
Comedy show with Ricky Gervais.
"Another theme of the show has been: 'Words change, and I'm woke, haha.' But here's the irony: I think I am woke, but I think that word has changed. I think if woke still means what it used to mean – that you're aware of your own privilege, you try and maximize equality, minimize oppression, be anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-homophobic – yes, I'm definitely woke. If woke now means being a puritanical, authoritarian bully who gets people fired for an honest opinion or even a fact, then no, I'm not woke. Fuck that."
The funniest bit was the joke about the pedo and the puppy. xD Wait, what
13-Feb-2024: 3. Oppenheimer
15-Feb-2024: 4. Mamma mia: Here we go again
Donna: *sails away with guy she has known for 2 minutes*
Me: "I'll take 'Things that never happened' for 9000, Alex."
But I was reminded of that movie "Dead calm". :)
24-Feb-2024: 5. Leave the world behind
13-Apr-2024: 6. The equalizer
30-Apr-2024: 7. Beau is afraid
22-Jun-2024: 8. Guido Superstar: The rise of Guido
29-Jun-2024: 9. Where the crawdads sing
2-Jul-2024: 10. Johnny English
Villain's henchman: *tries to force the queen to abdicate at gunpoint*
The queen: "Nevah."
Henchman: *picks up corgi and points gun at her*
The queen: *abdicates*
18-Aug-2024: 11. Fat Man and Little Boy
Like a poor man's "Oppenheimer". :p Anyway, funny quote:
General Leslie R. Groves: "Where is he?"
Kitty Oppenheimer: "He's out back, sitting in the sun with a blanket on his lap. Nursing a guilty dick, no doubt."
Groves: "It is not necessary to be vulgar."
Kitty: "Nothing I say could approach the vulgarity of what you're building in your backyard. :) "
20-Aug-2024: 12. The swimmers
25-Aug-2024: 13. Society of the snow (a.k.a. La sociedad de la nieve)
About the rugby team whose plane crashed in the Andes in 1972.
"Don't laugh at me. But my faith - sorry, Numa - isn't in your god. Because that god tells me what I'm supposed to do at home. But he doesn't tell me what to do on the mountain. What's happening here is a completely different situation. Numa. This is my heaven. I believe in another god. I believe in the god that Roberto keeps inside his head when he comes to heal each of my wounds. In the god that Nando keeps in his legs and that lets him continue walking no matter what. I believe in Daniel's hands when he cuts the meat. And Fito, when he gives it to us without saying which of our friends it belonged to. That way, we can eat it without... without having to remember their faces. That's the god I believe in."
30-Aug-2024: 14. Blue whales
45 minute docu shown at local science centre Universeum.
3-Sep-2024: 15. The equalizer 2
13-Sep-2024: 16. Downsizing
21-Sep-2024: 17. Ex machina
As I started watching it, I thought "That looks like it could be in Norway...", and I checked the filming locations. The house is next to the river Valldøla, a few hundred meters from these beautiful spots where I hung out on my 2016 roadtrip! :D
25-Sep-2024: 18. Enough
29-Sep-2024: 19. Year one
30-Sep-2024: 20. Ett sista race
2-Oct-2024: 21. Beautiful rebel (a.k.a. Sei nell’anima)
Biopic about Italian rockstar Gianna Nannini.
ANY GIANNA FANS IN THE HOUSE?! I got one of her albums for my 7th b-day in 1990, probably because I had expressed some mild appreciation of the song "I maschi" when it played on the radio. She became my first fave artist, and the first real concert I went to was hers – November 1990. I was obsessed af, so if early-90's-me had known that I would one day get to see a Gianna biopic I would have fucking DIED. :)
I never knew Italian, but if Duolingo had existed in 1990 I would probably have started learning it... :p
I haven't seen Gianna since 1990, BUT... I HAVE A TICKET FOR HER GIG IN HAMBURG ON JULY 20, 2025! 8D
I... I still haven't listened to all the albums, because I suck. But my faves so far are (in chronological order) Malafemmina and Scandalo. Off you hop.
17-Oct-2024: 22. The weekend away
I watched it because it was set in Split, Croatia. :)
23-Nov-2024: 23. Barber
31-Dec-2024: 24. WarGames
I was hanging out at a sci-fi con where they looped a bunch of title-less clips from various movies. One of them was unfamiliar to me, but looked like, uh, fun. :p I dug around a bit, and it turned out to be this 41-year-old movie.
"It's all right, I've planned ahead. We're just three miles from a primary target. A millisecond of brilliant light and we're vaporized. Much more fortunate than the millions who wander sightless through the smoldering aftermath. We'll be spared the horror of survival."
