WATCHING
Promising Young Woman – Have been looking forward to this for ages. The trailer paints a very different picture, which is refreshing, but I was a bit disappointed it wasn’t as ‘badass’ as I thought it would be.
Call My Agent - Season 3. Trying to refrain from binging because I just don’t want it to end. Camille Cottin is the coolest woman…
Game Night
Meet Joe Black
New Adam Curtis – Nihilism is the answer apparently
Punch Drunk Love
Magnolia – loved! (Have only ever seen the frog scene, before now)
Behind her eyes – worth it for the batshit ending. Very slow though…
Whitehouse Farm
Asparagus Tips - weird short film lols
READING
Exciting Times, by Naoise Dolan – Witty, real, complex characters. A love triangle with our narrator, Ava, at the centre – bit of an anti hero, who I warmed towards. Lots of nice bits that look at the English language in an intersting way (Ava is teaching English in Hong Kong). Funny and mean. Will definitely lookout for her next book. Love the cover too.
Article on R29 about Conspirituality – a term coined in 2011 to describe people in the spirituality space who are also attracted to conspiracy theories. I’ve noticed this in my yoga class – when that was a thing.
