#MovieThread, 2022 edition!

In 2020 I watched 239 movies.
In 2021 I watched another 391,
for a total of 650 movies since very early into first lockdown.

That's probably all the movies, right?

Shoot, I found more movies.

Let's start with something just as topical as last year's first one, #1, or #651, 1973's "Soylent Green."

It's the year 2022...

#3, #653, I gotta get back to these, it's 1938 Best Picture nominee "Four Daughters."

This is before the 80s, when Hollywood perfected the "two schmucks with a bad idea" formula, so they've overshot to "four daughters."

I liked "Mr Deeds Goes to Town," I liked "It Happened One Night," a Frank Capra picture is the closest thing to a sure shot in the Best Picture nominees so far.

we watched it at school, no idea what the context was, when I was like 15 or 16, and I found it deeply unpleasant

but I liked "Army of the Dead," so

#341, or #991, leaving now for a Pride Night screening of 2022's "Girls, Girls, Girls," also known as "Girl Picture," or its original Finnish title "Tytöt tytöt tytöt." No idea what it's about.

Well, girls, presumably.

Alright, alright, another classmate followed me on Letterboxd, what can I watch that'll at least look vaguely impressive, uhhh.

#351, or #1001, 2020 French-Canadian Celine Dion biopic that's not legally allowed to say it's about Celine Dion, but is definitely still about *a* Canadian singer who sung the song from "Titanic," , "Aline."

Nailed it.

I watched the other one like this so I might as well sit down for -- the corporate strategy is clearly on the way out again and the star's status has cratered, that's right, it's -- 2022's "The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special." #363, or #1013.

See you in a just-crossed Academy definition length of 44 minutes.

It's been in the works for 13 years with a budget approximating a quarter billion dollars, it's the sequel to a movie with no cultural presence whatsoever, leaving now to go see, *squints at notes* 2022's "Avatar: The Way of Water"? #381, or #1031.

#382, or #1032, this looks racist, but it's on Disney+, so I'm sure it's not, like, /that/ bad, but I gotta watch it either way because it's John Carpenter's next one, 1985's "Big Trouble in Little China."

Okay, so it's a Kinda Sorta Remake, and he's not just /that/ stupid that he'd go to a clearly cursed cabin, listen to a clearly cursed book, and flip through a clearly cursed book a second time.

But it's much funnier for me, personally, if he's just that stupid.
