Oh for sure. I'm trying to give some benefit of the doubt here as I know nothing about this particular movie critic, but my guess is that he's just tone deaf.

He seemed to have a bias against dramas because he called the Nuremburg movie "old-fashioned" and "too dry for modern movies".

4/ Sometimes a movie is about the power of a message. They're meant to be raw, they're not meant to be riveting and exciting.

Perhaps at the very least adding a disclaimer that as a man, he doesn't know what battling PP issues is like, and admitting he doesn't understand this would have been wise?

3/ Post-partum issues like PPD and PPA aren't "exciting". They're not riveting and action packed. As the movie demonstrates they can be devastating. They can indeed impact your whole family and community.

And I get it. He's a movie reviewer. It's his job. But movies like this aren't entertainment.

2/ "it was very dry, slow and dramatic."

Now, I haven't seen the movie. But I have to say, something rubs me the wrong way about an old white man trying to give an opinion on a movie written to highlight the realities of PPD and calling it "dry and dramatic".

Of course it is.

Seconding this!!

I don't know if they have someone like that on staff but it's always baffling to me when a municipality doesn't.

Hopefully they have an environmental sustainability specialist or coordinator on staff that will play a key role in the study—those are the staff that should help guide these decisions to make sure healthy, non-toxic methods like you mentioned are used.

Okay that is totally adorable!

I love that I could hear the "oontz" as I read it.

Any chance 2.0 will make it's way over to Mississauga? We had a blast at the first one.

I miss the days when I could fall asleep to loud, let alone any kind of noise. 🤣

Thank you! Figured it was time to try something different. So hopefully it pans out!

Mainly wasn't feeling the bard. Don't know if it was just the class or the class combined with the character, but I struggled to find ways to make the bard contribute well in combat. I've never been much of a magic user, so that likely impacted it.

Literally my life 🤣 I feel that.

Thank you! I've missed getting to see both of you around while I've been absent!

That kinda makes my day, so thank you <3
