It's funny, because In my country the stereotypicsl swede is not dull and bleak. We have the word "party-swede" for example which describes a swede who comes to Norway to work and party

my mental image is of one of those eng sex tourist that come to Algarve, only they-re swedes and wear Patagonia sweaters

Swedes are cool but arrogant and love to talk big about peace and love and justice while being one of the world's biggest arms manufacturers.

Norwegians are friendly but eccentric and love frozen pizza and slow TV broadcasts of grass growing in real time.

Finns are sullen, solidary and naturally gifted magic users.

Icelanders are inbred bumpkins that believe in Elves and lived in mudhuts eating sheep testicles until the mid 80s when Björk was invented.

Danes are lazy racist drunks.

having drank with finns, im not sure it's magic and just passed out drunk on the wilderness
finns also have an unfair genetic advantage for drinking, being 3+ meters tall the booze takes longer to go down

for a lot of hype over 1917 I was a bit underwhelmed up until the final 20 minutes, where the whole buzz about gripping tension made sense, but up until then it really felt.. I dunno, engineered? like when in open world games they have characters talk when riding to the mission they make characters talk to fill in dead air? that's how it felt tbh

I was putting off seeing Frances Ha for a while, and decided to finally check it out yesterday, and oof it really hits you as a young(?) adult on your second global recession, from the failed relationships and the missed moments and opportunities

finally got around to watch Hustlers and Jlo pretty much dominates the whole thing, and she makes the whole maternity angle with Constance Wu's character work by herself
i feel like it was sold a little too much on its capitalism critique, which it fumbles by the end, but this one really should go to the 2000 nostalgia canon

The more of Letterboxd I use the more I wish Criticker stepped up their game cause their poo poo worked a lot better even if it didn't had any of the bells and whistles
