NAATU NAATU (Rahul Sipligunj and Kaala Bhairava, M. M. Keeravani and Chandrabose)
if you SOMEHOW still haven't seen 2022's best movie, maybe this song will finally convince you ..
it took me long enough, but i think i finally 'get' harry styles.
i tried!! i wanted to like adore you .. i really wanted to like watermelon sugar .. none of it clicked.
as it was? immediately clicked. i get it now. i understand guys
NOPE
dir. Jordan Peele
round of applause for the first horror movie to ever make me cover my eyes in fear
PINOCCHIO (the good one)
dir. Guillermo del Toro, Mark Gustafson
every time Guillermo del Toro makes a new movie he outdoes himself. best yet
GLASS ONION: A KNIVES OUT MYSTERY
dir. Rian Johnson
underrated character of the year: Hugh Grant as Benoit Blanc's househusband
EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE
dir. Daniel Scheinert, Daniel Kwan
super close call but ultimately this didn't make the top 5 for me because of the sheer overwhelming maximalism of it all. they weren't fucking kidding about it being everything.. everywhere.. all at once .. i really think i can only watch this like once per year
MEET ME AT OUR SPOT (THE ANXIETY, Willow Smith, Tyler Cole)
spotify should add "song that made you cry the most" to yearly wrapped
personal, honest, funny, uncomfortable .. the platonic ideal of a Luke Buda track
IN A CISTERN (Devendra Banhart, Noah Georgeson)
lovely lovely LOVELY ambiance. had this album on constantly
LOSE CONTROL (Francis and the Lights)
didn't actually realise how much i was listening to this until it made it into my most played
PILLS & GOOD ADVICE (Left at London)
i love a good 10 minute oddyssey of a song .. sorry. it's my prog fan background
THE GREEN KNIGHT
dir. David Lowery
i'm famously the girl who "loves green man shit" of COURSE it's my film of the year
MIDNIGHT MASS
dir. Mike Flanagan
letterboxd has it listed as a movie so im ALLOWED TO PUT IT ON MY LIST OK
ENCANTO
dir. Byron Howard, Jared Bush
gonna be honest, took a star off my rating because lin manuel miranda's songwriting still grates on me at times
THE SPARKS BROTHERS
dir. Edgar Wright
hope everyone went and listened to their whole discography after this
WONTON (The Phoenix Foundation)
there was a brand new Phoenix Foundation album this year but man .. the 10 year anniversary re-release of Buffalo was the comfort-food music I really needed in 2020. Especially Wonton.
narrowing down my favourite track off Baxter Dury's Night Chancers album was TOUGH .. easily one of my favourite albums ever
had to remove this one from my spotify likes so i wouldn't overplay it into oblivion
MY KITCHEN RULES (The Phoenix Foundation)
were it not for my 'one song per artist' rule my top 5 would just be phoenix foundation tracks this year
THE INVISIBLE MAN
dir. Leigh Whannell
GREAT MOVIE IF YOU'RE A FAN OF ANXIETY ATTACKS
I'M THINKING OF ENDING THINGS
dir. Charlie Kaufman
knew i was going to love this when i started seeing people say it was BORING and MADE NO SENSE
Hubie Halloween
dir. Steven Brill
WHY is a 2-and-a-half star Adam Sandler mobie on my 2020 top 5? idk man, it was a weird year for all of us
