Still obsessed with Sylvia Townsend Warner. Making cocktails and talking about cats. (I am a dixhuitiemiste at an R1, but mostly teach film and whatever-the-hell-else they want me to teach.)

Yes, this is it exactly. To watch someone becoming *more* powerful, *more* beautiful, *more* joyfully alive in her 60s was breathtaking.

As Malcolm would say, Schumerโ€™s โ€œabout as useful as a marzipan dildoโ€

They were smashing him in the face with a tear gas canister before killing him.

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

Itโ€™s pretty un-put-downable *and* smart + well-written. Might hit the spot!

Donโ€™t you mean Rarnaby Budge, by Charles Dikkens with two โ€œks,โ€ the well-known Dutch author????????

Men telling each other how great they are (but also how terribly wounded ๐Ÿคฎ)

I know everybody lives The Pitt, but man, there is some weird gender shit in this show. So many bad moms, so much himpathy for wounded men, so much heroism.

Dude! Heโ€™s also from Edmonton! At one point there were three Edmontonians in UChicago Englishโ€”we two, and Katie. ๐Ÿ˜€

Exactly! Sheโ€™s always so smart. Have you seen Meekโ€™s Cutoff? Best Western ever.

My partner and I watched it last night too! Loved the subversion of caper genre conventions, and the palette, and the Vietnam war playing in the background. But Iโ€™m finding Josh Oโ€™Connor increasingly unconvincing playing Americans, and in this film it really matters.
