It’s just about time for the start of Eurovision 2022!

This was the other finalist in our national selection.

 

These were my personal favorites for selection.

I remember you sharing some posts about this @hckošice. Quite a story.

I’ve watched this performance a few times to week now. What an atmosphere!

I actually managed to see five (CODA, Dune, King Richard, Don’t Look Up, and Power of the Dog) of the films nominated for Best Picture this year. I was hoping to bump that up to eight over the weekend, but I just wasn’t feeling a lot of the films this year. I definitely want to watch Drive My Car and Belfast at some point though.

 

I honestly wouldn’t describe any of the nominees I’ve seen as groundbreaking, phenomenal cinema. That said, I thought CODA, King Richard, and Dune were solid, easily enjoyable films (definitely worth a watch if you get the chance). My ranking for the five films I did see would be:

 

1. CODA 2. Dune 3. King Richard 4. Power of the Dog 5. Don’t Look Up

 

I wasn’t able to finish Power of the Dog, and Don’t Look Up was to “on the nose” for me. I think the acting and camera work in Power of the Dog was superb. It just definitely wasn’t for me.

The only other film mentioned on here that I saw was The Hand of God. Like @vinipereira I would have nominated it as well. I was quite shocked it wasn’t nominated.

 

Edit: Oh, I should also add that I was furious The Summit of Gods was not nominated for best animated film. Beautiful storytelling and animation.

Spotify is down. Damn.

 

Is it the Russians, pro-vaxxers or anti-vaxxers? At any rate my ride experience just got busted.

Everybody trying to listen to the new Stormae release

Also, Alvan & Ahez feels like a consolation for Tanxugueiras missing out. I like both groups, so happy one managed to make it.

Germany invited Jamala to perform “1944” during their national finals. Quite the performance.

Finally had the chance to watch the French Dispatch. I throughly enjoyed it.
