Fortunately natural gas was only 6% of their power source so it is pretty easy to replace with their new ten year LNG contract.

Finland has 0% of the world’s natural gas reserves so they have no output to increase.

Aftersun is #1 on my top twenty but I had the travel 35 miles last week to see it and you probably have to travel further.

Since the crappy drug that does nearly nothing costs $28,000 a year I assume this OK one will cost $280,000 a year.

Police rough rides of blacks to internationally injure them are a fairly frequent occurrence in some cities.

The Tree of Life was already in their 250 at #102 so it will probably move up:
https://fanwithamovieyammer.wordpress.com/the-sight-sound-top-250-list/
Several of the other movies you listed were already in the 250.
Contempt only shifted a few positions between the 2002 and the 2012 lists so while I am not a fan of that movie I doubt if it will drop more than twenty places.
In the 2012 update only a dozen or so post 2002 or later movies were added to the 250:
The highest ranked new addition to the 250 will probably be Parasite which will definitely make the top 100. I think other movies from the last decade that also will make the 250 are Ida, Shoplifters, 12 Years A Slave, Moonlight, and Shoplifters. I assume at least one Korean film will make the list and I wish it was Poetry but The Handmaiden or Burning seem more likely.
I really hope some of the movies near the bottom of the 250 move up but they probably will drop out. Two movies in the 18 way tie for 235 that I hope move up are The Double Life of Veronique and The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari.

I love how the writer director combined her actual memories with I imagined scenes foreshadowing her father’s suicide five years later.

It got five Independent Spirit nominations and probably will win Best First Feature and Best Breakthrough Performance.

The range from 2 screens to 20. I am in a county with 1.9 million people including the eleventh largest city in the country.

Mescal has no chance to win but Frankie Corio will definitely get the breakthrough award and Aftersun will win first feature.

Both GoldDerby and Variety predict that Quan will win. Hanks is 11th on one and 24th on the other so he is unlikely to be nominated and has absolutely no chance to win. The winner will definitely be either Quan or Gleeson.

It is bound to get at least five Oscar nominations and a few more are possible.

You must have little interest in movies to not know the highly publicized The Fabelmans wasn’t being released. It got a shit load of press after it premiered at TIFF and won the audience award.
My favorite movie release schedule is this one since it seldom omits a release and clearly shows limited and wide:

Abandoning the entire West Bank still leaves them with about 80% of the Kherson oblast. Of course it also brings Ukrainian artillery closer to them.

Reply to comment by Phinlee_Bruv in are mainstream films worth watching? by Phinlee_Bruv
I am too lazy the edit out my commentary and reformat this:
Leave No Trace - Before this movie Ben Foster seemed like a very good actor with an extremely limited range. Director Debra Granik showed that Foster can play an extremely reserved and emotionally damaged war veteran. Thomasin McKenzie was also brilliant as his teen age daughter. The Oregon rain forest where they illegally live is also a star. The Rider - I kept putting off seeing The Rider since I have absolutely no interest in horses or rodeo so I am glad it stayed at the Aquarius long enough for me to see this great film. Chinese director Chloé Zhao somehow manages to make great movies that truly capture the values of the rural western United States. This movie uses amateur actors playing characters based on their own lives and filming often started after the actors finished their real jobs. For a very low budget movie the cinematography is excellent. The Favourite - Sarcastic comedies are always best when they have no likable characters and this one has none. I was almost bound to like a movie with Rachel Weisz and Emma Stone but The Favourite was much better than I expected. Shoplifters - Director Hirokazu Koreeda always makes movies about unusual Japanese families that tell you so much about his country. This family of shoplifters is particularly unusual. My favorite Koreeda film is still Our Little Sister but this movie is a close second. First Man - This very good biography of Neil Armstrong deserved to do much better at the box office. Just like my top two of the year this is an extremely emotional movie about an unemotional man. The right wing attacks on this movie for being unpatriotic were laughable since the American flag on the moon looked far better in this movie than it did when I watched it live on TV as a kid. If Beale Street Could Talk - This movie of the James Baldwin book was very good. The cinematography and score were truly excellent. Black Panther - I saw Black Panther without reading any reviews since I had just returned from Buenos Aires and my Antarctica cruise a day or so before seeing it. I was not expecting an extremely feminist movie like this one. The misogynists and racists on the internet hate this movie but I loved it. Disney did make the noticeable mistake of trying to save money on CGI during the later stages of the movie and internet trolls are obsessed with that. Eighth Grade - This is a very touching and realistic movie about a plain and pudgy girl trying to make it through the last few months of middle school. Elsie Fisher is great as the girl. Writer/director Bo Burnham’s first film is a big change for a comedian and singer. Thoroughbreds - Of course a movie about a sweet and plain middle schooler needs to be followed with a movie about two hot high school sociopaths/psychopaths. This was a rather good sarcastic comedy staring the excellent Olivia Cooke and Anya Taylor-Joy. Spider-man Into the Spiderverse - Who would have thought that a nearly psychedelic Spider-Man movie would be the perfect place to teach the physics multiverse theory.

The Sight and Sound 250 does that I can’t wait for this decade’s update next month. The Oscars shouldn’t bother since they already waste time on tributes to old stars and people can go to their museum.
