Missed "One Battle After Another" in the cinema (timing, money, getting sick) so I'm happy it's out on digital, but I think my weak bladder is the happiest of all 😚😚😚

I'm not particularly a fan of "It: Welcome to Derry" (each episode seems to follow the exact same pattern and it's also very loud and gives me a headache) but that eye scene in the latest episode:
a woman wearing glasses is smiling while talking to a man in a living room .

I'm playing the Evolution of Horror online pub quiz and seeing as she knocked my pen from my hand, I don't think she's very impressed by my performance

The duality of man: the first episode of Sentimental Garbage Friends Through a Lens was filled with terrible Friends opinions and was enraging and the second episode was full of only good Friends opinions and was delightful.

I think (well-meaning and ultimately promoting something good) articles chiding British people for not reading books from other countries might be more effective if they didn't start with a confrontational "well I know you only read old white male authors!" tone.

My sister accidentally called Lila the cat "Lena" three times, leading to the question: is Lila's full name technically Raffaella, like her namesake?

Reading Hwang Bo-Reum describe the reading bar she goes to in Seoul, where mostly solo diners just go to be quiet and drink wine and read, has made me so hair-tearingly jealous. I tried to find similar in London but they seem to be more of a Book Shop/Book Events vibe.

she was out until 3am and i worried, but she came bounding in from the garden for dreamies and blankets. she was then unbothered by my scolding (and yes after taking this photo i realised how much dust was in my ps5 and gave it a good clean today)

Have clocked that if I wear a cardigan and tuck it into a skirt, I can get away with wearing my Black Phillip tshirt to the office.
(Yes I have a tshirt, I did say that if A24 made buying from the UK cheaper, I would spend on daft amount on merchandise from their horror films)

If you were an actor who had to make yourself cry for a scene, what would you think about?
I think I'd just think too much about the ending of Homeward Bound when Peter is waiting for Shadow the dog to appear.

As a fellow user of ~The Devil's Hand~, I am looking forward to Left-Handed Girl*
*(also because I like Taiwanese films and films made by women and family dramas and Sean Baker)

Ordered the new Joe Hill audiobook on the basis of a review but the review did also contain one of the most lol/🙄 tropes where it describes a group of characters and one character is inevitably summarised as "the beautiful so-and-so". The defining personality trait of being hot.
