I'm so mixed on UNDERTONE. On pure concept-delivery and the audio experience alone... it's superb. Everything else? Ehhh.

It’s a soft spring rain, pot of coffee, empty schedule, plenty of time to write kind of day.
An all-timer. One of my favorite pieces of journalism ever.

What's most frustrating for all of the techbros who have bought up websites and turned them into content farms is that original opinion pieces and the work of strong, expert personalities is the best way to shield your site from getting hit as badly by these overviews.

Happy International Women's Day! Here are a few of my favorite films that GET what it is to be a woman.
Let me know which films I've missed!

Carmen Sandiego from the 90s cartoon
Happy International Women's Day to the original International Woman
Myself and @ohmymithrandir.bsky.social called this, walking out of our screening. The guys don't get it.
The Bride’s hurricane of rage, manic joy, and refusal to demure is matched beautifully with Buckley’s physicality. It’s not a pretty performance. It’s uncomfortable, grating, shrill… and perfect.

The critical consensus around #IronLung affirms my "shooting from the hip" response to the film, in the moments after I screened it: As a half hour or shorter short film, would have rocked.

80,000 gallons of blood, sweat, and tears; all palpable to the audience.

BRIDGERTON is, if nothing else, a master in the craft of tropes. Their Season 4 storyline is straight out of a fairytale, but predictable is only boring when served without substance or finesse. They've got it in hand.

MIRANDA, John William Waterhouse (1916)

Agreed. Words matter. Language conveys. It IS productive for people to hear things spoken of in frank, unflinching terms.
It's the difference between communication and *content*
Review coming soon...

I've been wanting to create a spot like this for awhile! A WILD MUSE will be for all the little moments in between. Cozy content. Reflection and commentary. Current events. Creative spitballing. Lifestyle and travel. The works.

@28yearslater.bsky.social is very blood, gore, and rock n' roll. Which is exactly the film I needed, as it turns out.

A comfort movie that feels like comfort food to watch. Coq au vin for the soul.

My therapist and I have logged MANY hours on how I don't have to deliver maximum output of any given thing for it to still be part of my identity and story. (Ex. I'm still a writer, even if I don't pitch as often as I used to.)
The funny thing is, Tarantino is always the worst actor in every one of Tarantino’s movies
