Some may call listening to "When It All Falls Apart" by The Veronicas on repeat a cry for help, I call it the only way I muster up the courage to write when I absolutely do not feel like writing*

*this is most definitely a cry for help

I've officially had the quintessential film festival experience: walking into one screening while still crying from the film I had just watched

📰 New post on my Substack! 📰

I get very dramatic over my partner's recent soy intolerance and reflect on Juzo Itami's love letter to food in 'Tampopo'

Absolutely wild day.

I watched three movies. Cried during two of them.

One was Eva Victor's utterly incredible SORRY, BABY.

The other, was CARS.

It's been a tough couple of months, but I'm currently listening to 'Girls on Film' by Duran Duran while setting up my movie watchlist spreadsheet

If a movie has Peter Falk in it, it's instantly one of the greatest movies ever made.

I'm listening to Radiohead and eating creamy mushroom soup. I am thriving.

Three years away from Chicago-style citations was three years too many. The footnotes! The precision! The sheer elegance! I'm home.

What was your first ever movie theatre experience? #FilmSky

Mine was Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001). I also vividly remember my first 3D cinema experience was Spy Kids 3D: Game Over (2003) because I left the theatre with bloodshot eyes since I didn't blink the entire time because it was so cool!!

Do you ever do something that you used to do as a child that you haven't done in ages then suddenly you remember what true happiness feels like?

Yes, I just sorted my pencils by colour.
