books, movies & the abyss
A lot of great movies and performances recently. Can't go wrong with Carol Kane, a new Knives Out mystery, a New York love story, or some anticipatory Oscar viewing! #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

Saw Hamnet tonight at the world's most sadistic movie theater. Who turns the lights on immediately as the credits start rolling on the dead child movie? Everyone frantically trying to wipe the tears off their faces and pretend they didn't just spend the last two hours sobbing.

A ton of unpopular takes this Friday! ...So, instead, I will just mention how pleasantly delighted I was by Deadline at Dawn. Loved the ragtag group brought together by fate to solve a murder in late-night New York City. #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

Feeling festive for Thanksgiving and Noirvember, including a Vera Caspary double feature! #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

Lots of first-time classic horror movie viewing, with mixed results. Really enjoyed proto-slasher Peeping Tom, but I'm going to Criterion jail for my feelings on two of their arthouse horror darlings... #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

Kicking off the Halloween season with some classic movie monsters: Big Tech, vampires, carnivorous Polish mermaids, and Sean Penn. #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

Better late than never for catching up on some classics, plus the unofficial start to fall, and one of my all-time faves. #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

Every Saturday is #LetterboxdFriday for those of us who can't read a calendar! A wild mix of movies, all of which have stuck with me in different--mostly haunting--ways. #LastFourWatched

Just finished Kristen Arnett's very funny Stop Me If You've Heard This One on audio & was telling my husband what a great job Cameron Esposito does with the narration. Only now discovering he thought I meant Giancarlo Esposito--who, while talented, wouldn't be my first pick to voice a lesbian clown.

Nothing clever to say, just a very satisfying batch of movies! Check 'em out if you like robot girlfriends, pregnant nuns, Parker Posey's outfits, and murder mansions! #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

These past few weeks of movies had everything: two Michael B. Jordans, a Lucille Ball noir, becoming BFFs with Bela Lugosi, and lots of insider trading. #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

Three admissions from my latest viewing: I will occasionally pad my stats with comedy specials, I do judge a film by its title (as in, I'll watch for the title alone), and I can't resist a New York love story (or two). #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

In my dog's most bully-coded move yet, he just jumped on the couch and farted on my library book?? Like, why not knock the glasses off my face and pin a kick me sign on my back while you're at it!

My latest four movies included the remainder of my Oscar viewing, a film so beautiful it still gave me vacation envy despite the murders, and TWO psychic scammers. #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

People get confused about the different orders in Catholicism, but I can tell you as a person who went to a Jesuit college that their defining characteristic is that Jesuits will read you for filth for using too many em dashes in an essay because "you're not Emily Dickinson."

Got the biggest compliment of my life today: "You're like Groucho with bangs."

A fun thing about working in a library is you can see a random sci-fi book from decades ago has a ton of checkouts all of a sudden, and when you try to figure out why, you find it totally predicted the nightmare you're living in now.

An enjoyable batch of movies lately. Also, I'm apparently a big fan of two people looking into the distance. #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

Fine, I guess I've just gotta tell everybody about Kneecap MYSELF.

Christmas to New Year's is for filling in the gaps of the Jamie Lee Curtis cinematic universe with your mom, watching Parker Posey make Dewey Decimal jokes, checking out a holiday classic you've somehow never seen, and becoming convinced you have one really good PowerPoint in you. #LastFourWatched

It's been an eclectic December! #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

Last 4 movies watched. Heavy on the Noirvember. I might be getting a divorce because I dared to give The Maltese Falcon 4 stars instead of 5... #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

At work today, I had to put an out of order sign on one of the bathrooms, so I was looking to see if we already had one printed. We did, but it said, "A librarian will be happy to assist you at the desk," which I thought sent the wrong message. I printed a new one.

How exciting is my life? Let's just say my December is going to be jam-packed. (Got the Bonne Maman Advent calendar.)
