I chose it for me and my wife's own little film club of two (having not seen it beforehand), she absolutely loved it and had the same experience in terms of it capturing her childhood. I liked it a lot too, though it didn't resonate on a personal level as much. Sentimental Value was quite similar in that regard.

I stopped checking for Berserk updates way back, then I heard the writer died. Is it good even though someone else is making it? Are they basing it on any notes from the deceased writer?

Beating Brazil AGAIN (happened our last world cup in 1998 too) was a surreal experience, made even more surreal as I won a lot of money by betting on a 2-1 result. Thanks, Neymar! Vengeance for 1066 incoming. Justice for Hardrada! Really enjoying this world cup. Lots of crazy matches so far.

It's absurd to me that the US wants, and are trying actively to make Orban win. I guess they want the EU to be weakened as much as possible?

I love The Beatles more every year. What a band they were. Abbey Road and Revolver are phenomenal. Sgt Pepper I find a tad overrated, but there are some great songs on it.

Sentimental Value was good. Very good even. Would be a dark horse to win the oscars if more people saw it. I just noticed the same director made Thelma, which I really liked and probably even fewer people have seen.

Bone Temple As good as the previous one - with a hilarious climax. I think these two deserve a bit more love, I definitely didn't expect them to be as good as they were. Too bad so few went to see them.

Basically saying his only motivation to stop wars was to get the peace prize. No wonder he's been so tough with Ukraine, pushing them to sign a bad deal - trying to find the easiest way out.

I agree with everything here. For me, hobbits have nothing to do in a show about the second age, and the whole mystery box plotline with the Wizard was just as needless. Another big weaknesses of the show is that they feel the need to ape after PJ's Lord of the Rings. From trying to invoke the same "feels", to borrowing Howard Shore for the intro theme, to literally buying the design of the Balrog and alike. I actually quite like some of the original designs they have, like Numenor, and their version of the Grey Havens.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance II Really enjoying it. I wish there were more games like this.

One Battle After Another What an absolute priviledge and joy to watch. Easily the best film I've watched in 2025. Johnny Greenwood deserves an oscar for that soundtrack, and I can't believe a film managed to make a car chase exciting again. A rare 10/10 from me.

Norwegian election coming up. Hoping my guy Jonas wins

Played a few hours of NWN2. Man that game did not age well (or was not very good in the first place). The ai, ui and camera are all pretty ass. Almost impossible to play after BG3.

If that was the case, then why don't all the weaker members just leave the union? (Genuinely curious, I don't have an opinion either way).

Super short reviews of three recent films, using the nationally famous https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Die_throw_(review) Sinners - Intriguing up until a certain point. There was potential there to be a great film, but for me the last part was rather generic and uninteresting. 4/6 28 years later - Surprisingly good. There's tension there, and heart. It looks great and sounds great, with a good dose of weird too. I liked it. 5/6 Fantastic Four - Competent and coherent, but uninspired? I was never bored, but also never surprised or feeling any excitement. Much better than the other F4 films of course, but it felt very "comittee made" and followed the moviemaking playbook. I liked the guy who played the Human torch. 3/6
