Addendum: in June, I enjoyed another horror triple-header that deserves a quick back-mention. 1. Sinners (probably the best of them all this year). 2. Bring Her Back (brutal, merciless, and unforgettable). 3. 28 Years Later (longtime fan of the series, I liked it more than most others did).

3. Weapons (2025). Another entry in the "vanishing children" genre of horror. It's been a great year for horror, and Weapons is one jewel in the 2025 crown. The mystery intrigues, the villain Aunt Gladys is an instant camp icon, Julia Garner and Josh Brolin are great, and the ending is perfect!

2. Abadi Nan Jaya (The Elixir) (2025). There are many bonkers Indonesian horror films but I think this is a first attempt in the modern zombie genre. Relentless action, good effects, fun shocks! A dysfunctional family business goes awry, and a village in Sleman pays the price with a zombie outbreak.

I loved it, and I'm shocked that so many viewers are logging bad reviews. This movie was totally seru! Good production. Relentless action. Good effects. And I really liked the big pharma takeover of the national jamu company plot line, which put them under pressure to develop "the elixir."

not in the conventional sense, but it is very much an ethnography, history, and memoir about libraries and archives: In An Antique Land by Amitav Ghosh

Pinning it uniquely on Trump really misses the point in a bunch of ways
