2024 Watches

I was tagged by @heartofhubris to share 9 movies I watched this year! It's entirely possible some of these were December 2023, but I'm including them because I cannot remember when I watched what.

Tagging @borom1r, @bottomoftheriverbed, @enbymoomin, @philosophyoftherevolution, @mostdearladyophelia, and anyone else who would like to take part <3

North Country

In the north country now it is spring and there     is a certain celebration. The thrush has come home. He is shy and likes the     evening best, also the hour just before morning; in that blue and gritty light he     climbs to his branch, or smoothly sails there. It is okay to know only     one song if it is this one. Hear it rise and fall; the very elements of your soul     shiver nicely. What would spring be without it? Mostly frogs. But don’t worry, he

arrives, year after year, humble and obedient     and gorgeous. You listen and you know you could live a better life than you do, be     softer, kinder. And maybe this year you will be able to do it. Hear how his voice     rises and falls. There is no way to be sufficiently grateful for the gifts we are     given, no way to speak the Lord’s name often enough, though we do try, and

especially now, as that dappled breast     breathes in the pines and heaven’s windows in the north country, now spring     has come,     are opened wide.

—Mary Oliver

Ampersand Mountain || Franklin County, New York

A mountain located in the High Peaks Region of New York State, Ampersand has a decent 2 mile trail up to its peak. It boasts a beautiful rocky summit with a 360° view of Saranac and Ampersand Lake and the mountains surrounding them.

There used to be a firetower situated on the top before it were deemed outdated and removed, but a metal plaque was installed to commemorate the fellow who stood watch, Walter Channing Rice, who was also nicknamed "The Hermit of Ampersand."

"there's a cross around my neck, that i wear only to remind myself of you, and have sinned to the neck, my flesh buried deep in the heat of your love, but i have never claimed to be a righteous man."

Frances McDormand and Charlize Theron in North Country (2005). They were both Oscar nominated. The film was photographed by Chris Menges. Chris was born in Herefordshire, England, and has 68 cinematography credits from a 1963 short to 2021. He is an Oscar winner for The Killing Fields and The Mission, and was nominated for Michael Collins and The Reader. His entries among my best 1001 are The Pledge and Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada.

His other notable credits include Kes, Local Hero, The Boxer, Notes on a Scandal, and Extremely Loud and Incredible Close.
