I always wondered why France had so many heists but if you can still just put a ladder up to a window on the Louvre in the year 2025 and get away with a big bag full of priceless jewels I guess that solves the mystery

What a great read for spooky season - I love me some fantasy/medieval queer horror 😍

I just recently bought this but I’m not sure I’ll make it to this one before 2026 since I am woefully behind on my goal to read all the Cosmere books this year 😭

We were just discussing how I’ve given out more 1/10 star ratings and I said “everyone’s a critic but especially me” 😎

We’re almost 80% of the way through our year of Nicolas Cage (and yes I k ow I am SO FAR BEHIND in the thread 💀 but here is a plot of what my partner has rated vs what I rated.

Clearly I’m a hater

Starting the movie Between Worlds (2018) and uhhh there is a lot going on

The story follows Joe (Cage), a down-on-his-luck truck driver haunted by the memory of his deceased wife and child. He meets Julie (Potente), a spiritually gifted woman… 1/2

God I wish I had converted to Letterboxd sooner 😭 now I need to decide if it’s worth it to prot over all my entries from Trackt or just keep adding stuff on rewatches

That is absolutely what has been holding me off is that I am not a huge spider fan - they can exist, you know, not around me 👀 - but I think I’m ready 🤣
