Book, film and language lover, eager to travel to where good people and wine can be found and where MAGA is just a memory. Currently in Accrington.
Absolutely agree. Thought and said it many times.
No decade has had its own distinct identity since the 1990s.

Good grief. Absolutely superb.
This is superb. Ian McKellen delivers a blistering pro-immigration monologue written by Shakespeare, that makes you want to punch the air with exhilaration. Wow, wow, wow.

"Arrested the wrong Don". Nicely put.
JANE FONDA: “I know Don Lemon. My husband created CNN. And I will fight for their right to speak… they arrested the wrong Don. This is how autocrats act. We can’t fall for it.”

That metaphor would probably impress extremely dumb people. So, it's well aimed at least.

Last I heard, hypotheticals are exactly the thing you should prepare for. So that answer is cuckoo.

Propelled by the film, I just finished reading Hamnet. It was a cumulative experience, often feeling quite understated, especially in the first half. But the impact of the whole was enthralling, wrenching too, and I'm wondering if the film will feel the same. Be well worth watching if it is.

Exceptional individual, Carrie Fisher. Talented and remarkable in many different directions, and I always wildly appreciate people who, for the right reasons, refuse to take any crap.

There's a lot of it, that's for sure, and it's never dull. Overall, well worth watching and the sort of role Mia Goth, who always brings her own fascinating atmosphere, is very good at.
Del Toro remains true to the core themes of Mary Shelley's FRANKENSTEIN, while making changes that serve his style and a modern audience.

Just looking at her list of credits again. Diane Keaton was everywhere and everywhen, never not in my film-viewing world somewhere, guaranteed to add and enhance and be welcome. Made her fine work look effortless too, which is a good measure of excellence.

Be a damn shame if she quit acting. She's ever so good at it.
Keri Russell’s emotional transparency has anchored three decades of television. But, offscreen, she’s not even sure that she wants to be an actress. Read Emily Nussbaum’s Profile of the star.
