KPop Demon Hunters is a brilliant film, but it’s also lovely seeing its voice actors, songwriters, and singers become stars after years of struggling in the industry

It’s pretty bonkers this is not a real band, and EJAE (lead vocals) hadn’t performed in a decade until this

The soundtrack that follows the Guinnesses around wherever they walk anywhere as a group is unmatched lol.

I really enjoyed #HouseofGuinness, Steven Knight's full-throttle, Succession-coded reimagining of the infamous Irish beer dynasty that's got punk rock vibes and surprisingly excellent female characters. My review at @pastemagazine.bsky.social:

Steven Knight Brews a Worthy Successor to Peaky Blinders with House of Guinness

House of Guinness mixes family conflict, political intrigue, and a world-famous beer brand into a compelling historical blend.

Just finished #HouseofGuinness and absolutely loved it! It was such a fun, messy ride with great music and many memorable scenes. I'll probably watch it again because it's the first true comp I've found for the novel I'm writing and I'm completely taken in by it.

None of these are in focus, but that doesn’t diminish how much I love this set I have in which someone was trying to get a good photo of their kitten.

Set of eight black and white photos, each one a blurry image of some part of a dark colored shorthaired kitten.

Another artist told me once to go see the full-size Muchas because you can see all the errors. I did and damned if she wasn’t right. It was a weird relief.

Seeing the Bill Watterson originals full of pencil lines of stuff that didn’t work, scuffs the eraser didn’t pick up, white out galore and more was something I needed to see to remind myself that nothing is perfect the first go and tweaks need to be made and you’re allowed to try again.

I just discovered Anna May Wong and have enjoyed watching some of her movies (which randomly led to Mary Pickford and then stumbling upon Leslie Howard in one of her movies but I knew him from GWTW). It's been a fun rabbit hole to go down!

Just watched it today with my kids and really enjoyed it. Kind of bummed we missed out on the in theater sing-a-long. Just read that practically the entire soundtrack is on the Billboard TOP 40 (and 4 songs are in the top 10).

Prices are so high I feel like I'm in a foreign country and should be factoring in an exchange rate. But nope, cereal is regularly over $7 a box and crackers over $5. Wanted to go to a little sea food shack for dinner. Would have been $18 for 8 fried shrimp and $31 for 4oz lobster roll. Can't do it.
