It will be remembered for movies again as many that were originally set from 2021 and even 2020 are going to be released this year. Certain titles include The Batman, Jurassic World Dominion, Uncharted, and the Flash just to name a few.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/winter-olympics/60024367


That still ended up happening. So far the big highlights are with figure skaters Kamila Valieva and Nathan Chen setting records.

Also the possible Russian invasion of Ukraine. Hopefully and praying it doesn't happen, but even the tension and threat will be remembered as it's been all over the news.

Monkeypox?



Yes, you can say that 2022 will be remembered for monkeypox.

I think the Robb Elementary School shooting will be remembered. It will be remembered the same way as Sandy Hook in late 2012 which started the gun control debate which lasted well into 2013.

Kate Bush was always a bit cult/unheard of in the U.S. "Running Up That Hill" peaked at #30 in 1986. But the song has become popular anew thanks to its appearance on Stranger Things. In fact, it's all over the charts and iTunes now.

- The Russian invasion of Ukraine (obvious top story, like COVID was to 2020)

- Inflation, gas prices, Bitcoin crash
- "The slap heard around the world" at the Oscars
- The potential abortion ban by SCOTUS
- Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard

Sir Paul McCartney live on stage at Glastonbury.

The 4th of July parade shooting in Highland Park, IL. It will be up there with the other novel mass shooting incidents like Uvalde, TX and Buffalo, NY. Also the Jaylan Walker police shooting.

One nice thing about Japan… if you are sentenced to death, death is what you’re gonna get.

They don’t tell you when you’re gonna be executed until the morning of the event. Your relatives are not notified until after the deed is done. And they do it the old fashioned way, the “long drop” hanging technique.

In Japan you follow the damned rules or you are absolutely screwed. It is a cultural monolith. When I was there one time for three weeks, I only saw one black man, and he was part of my crew. When we walked the Ginza, he was the main attraction as people gawked.

The passing of Queen Elizabeth II and the beginning of the Charles Era. This is a huge deal as we're talking about the end of a 70 year mega era, the reign from 1952-2022. She was crowned even before my parents were born.

Exactly my thoughts too.

Just reflecting on everything that went on in the UK during the Elizabeth II era: The Beatles, the disco era (particularly the Bee-Gees), 80's Brit-pop, all the James Bond films, the death of Princess Diana, the London 2012 Olympics, and the COVID pandemic.

The disco era did not originate in the UK. They did have the so-called "Northern Soul" thing (ALL the music of which originated in the US), but disco, as it became known in the mainstream, was originated in underground clubs of New York City frequented almost exclusively by African-Americans, Latinos and gay men. And the BeeGees recorded all of their disco hits at Criteria Studios in Miami, Florida with US musicians, not in the UK.

- Potentially the soccer riot in Indonesia
- The cooking chicken in Nyquil challenge

In pop-culture, I think I would remove Jurassic World Dominion, Obi-Wan, Bel-Air reboot, and probably even Jack Harlow; and I would add Kate Bush's "Running Up the Hill" that was popular due to Stranger Things 4th season, and also Beyonce's Renaissance album and Bad Bunny.

I had a feeling that "Cult of Personality" would be both the new "Running Up That Hill" and "Master of Puppets" after being used as a weapon against the Walkers in the Walking Dead finale. To a lesser degree, I expected "Landslide" to at least get some kind of a bump from being featured in the dinner scene.

But yeah, I can totally see "Goo Goo Muck" being the new Kate Bush. Haven't watched the show yet, but I'm excited. I loved the movies growing up.

The passing of Kristie Alley and Bob McGrath. :\'(


And a lot of celebrity deaths in general, like every few days. Shortly before that it was Christine McVie and Irene Cara.

So far I watched the first 4 episodes and the one with the dance scene with the famous viral video also features a song by Magdalena Bay (The Beginning). The show is pretty good so far. I've always liked Tim Burton's style.

The huge amounts of snow upstate. :o

Winter Storm Elliott right before Christmas.

Yep, those two bit the dust during the final days of November. :\'( And both had hits (solo) when I was a little kid.

A lot of places got blasted with snow, fortunately for us New Yorkers we just got a lot of rain and wind and now with the very sub zero cold temperatures.

Now that this is the last day, I think it's safe to finally post the final list. Here it is:

- The Russia invasion of Ukraine
- The passing of Queen Elizabeth II
- The Uvalde, TX elementary school shooting
- Inflation and high gas prices
- Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars
- Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard
- Elon Musk and Twitter
- Kan(ye)'s rants and legal drama w/Kim Kardashian
- Trump's legal troubles including the January 6 trials, FBI raid at Mar-a-Lago, and release of his tax records
- Midterm elections
- Iran protests
- China protests against the Zero COVID policy
- China/Taiwan tensions
- Overturning of Roe v. Wade
- Monkeypox (or M-pox)
- Climate disasters (record heatwaves, fires, floods, Hurricane Ian, Winter Storm Elliott/record cold around Christmas)
- Boris Johnson resignation, then Liz Truss resignation
- Assassination of former Japanese PM Shinzo Abe
- World Cup in Qatar, Argentina won as it was Messi's last game before retirement

In pop-culture:
- Top Gun Maverick, The Batman, Wakanda Forever, Avatar 2
- Harry Styles, Taylor Swift's Midnights album, Beyonce's Renaissance album, Bad Bunny
- Kate Bush's "Running Up the Hill" from Stranger Things Season 4
- Wednesday (particularly the viral dance scene to The Cramps' "Goo Goo Muck")

I think that's it, but please feel free to add anything. See you in 2023!

Yes it was, and notice there wasn't much to list for pop-culture.

When will you do one for 23?

Soon as there is something I think it will be really for.

I think a good time to do it is by the middle of the year.

Encanto (technically from 2021, but more of a 2022 movie)
Turning Red
The Bad Guys
Puss In Boots 2 (which will go down as more of a 2023 movie)
Everything Everywhere All At Once

That one has potential to be an Oscar winner. When it comes to movies, unlike songs, I associate them with the year they were released even if they remain popular the following year (even ones such as Avatar, Avatar 2, Titanic, etc.). Songs otoh may not be played much less chart until the following year.
