Leynilögga / Cop Secret (2021)

Director: Hannes Þór Halldórsson

Stars: Auðunn Blöndal, Egill Einarsson, Sverrir Þór Sverrisson...

Language: Icelandic, English, Mandarin, German

Length: 1h 38m

A tough super-cop, in denial about his sexuality, falls in love with his new partner while investigating a string of bank robberies where nothing seems to have been stolen.

Now this is a plot line you don’t come across often :D action comedy movies with a gay theme are very rare - at least I didn’t see many of them, so this was an interesting one for me. Even though this is an action comedy and you might be expecting something big with lots of special effects, especially if you’ve been exposed to lots of American blockbusters (and generally when it comes to action comedies I think America has this reputation of being famous for these types of movies), in this movie it’s pretty toned down. There are special effects, yes, but somehow it’s not all in your face, the characters aren’t that loud/obnoxious and the humour is different than the usual American action comedy. It’s a spoof movie and the humour tends to be more of an ironic nature rather than being overly slapstick.

Rating: 4/5

Eurovision 1995: The actual result

This in the 1995 Eurovision Spoiler Warning. Do not read further if you do not wish to be reminded how things actually turned out!

Success for Ireland! They finally managed to lose - although the winners were at least 1/3 Irish, so maybe they didn't. The important thing was that Ireland wouldn't have to host next year, because Norway managed to break the Irish stranglehold.

There were almost no English language entries in the top 10 at all - but both the UK and Malta managed to finish 10th on the same score. Some might argue the winner didn't have much language in at all. Nocturne still holds the record for fewest word in a Eurovision entry ever.

Germany finished last on a single point which set the EBU into a bit of a panic as Germany provided one of the biggest audiences and provided a big chunk of money to them too. They couldn't be relegated could they...

Yes-People - Film and animations

The yes-people was a short film made by Gísli Darri Halldórsson. This is a whimsical slice-of-life tale and this was produced by the New Yorker by way of Norwegian production company CAOZ and it will feel so much like a New Yorker cartoon coming to life. This short film is set in apartment building and exploring. The figures have an Aardman-esque quality, with their big noses and round bodies that totter around the frame with gusto.

I like how it looks, and like how the frame produced.

Gísli Darri Halldórsson is an Icelandic director und animator who graduated with a B.A. From the Irish school of animation, Dublin. He has been professional animator since 2007.

Iceland 🇮🇸❤

I don't care if you are not a football fan, if you just watch World Cup matches because it's fashionable, or even if you think this sport is boring as hell. What I want to tell you is that you should watch the match Argentina-Iceland.

This match wasn't just a match, it was a life lesson, and I'm not being cliché.

Argentina is one of the best football teams in the world (5th in the ranking FIFA), with two world cups. Argentina is the team of Lionel Messi, one of the best players of all time, with 5 Ballon d'Or awards and many more trophies. Argentina could win the World Cup (don't forget about the other players too), and Messi will probably be one of the best goal scorers of this World Cup.

Iceland, on the other hand, is a small team, composed of players who also have a second job. This team was nearly unsuccessful until UEFA Euro 2016. Iceland became the smallest ever nation to qualify for a major tournament, but they didn't settle for just a qualification. They defeated England (a good team) and advanced until the quarter finals. Now they are the smallest nation per population to qualify for a World Cup and, guess what?, today they played against the big Argentina.

They clearly were the underdogs, and everyone expected Argentina to thrash Iceland. Maybe today it wasn't Leo Messi's perfect day, maybe today the Argentinians had some difficulties in finding a team bond, I don't know what happened honestly. What I know is that the cold Nordic country has showed us what "put yourself into play" means.

Thank you Iceland for striving to do your best. Thank you for not being disheartened by other people's opinions. Thank you for pushing yourselves to the limit for these 90 minutes. Thank you for not feeling intimidated when you had to dribble Messi, and for showing the world that, no matter who your opponent is, you never have to give up. Thank you to Alfreð Finnbogason, who scored a wonderful goal, but thank you to all the others players as well. You showed us what "team play" means. When there was a chance to score, you tried to, even if your technical skills were poor compared to the ones of Argentina. And when Argentina was pressing, you played defense like if it was a matter of life and death. A special thanks goes to the goalkeeper, for keeping his nerve and for making fantastic saves (we can't imagine how stressed he was during the Messi penalty, and well, perhaps Leo hasn't kicked in the best way, but Halldórsson has done a good job and he has saved the goal).

Thank you guys, thank you for being bold and fierce, thank you for having put your heart in this match, thank you for having created some problems to Argentina (that wasn't an easy task), thank you for having showed to the world that if people join forces and believe in what they are doing, they can do great things. This wasn't just a 1-1 tie, this wasn't just a football match.

WELL DONE ICELAND, I'M SO PROUD OF YOU! ❤
