Trying to make neat stuff since the 70’s and mostly failing. It’s a process.
I know there are far more important things at play in the world but, I’m still haunted by Zendaya’s performance in #Dune2.
They wrote a terrific part but the way she played it connected with me.
Team Chani Sihaya, forever and always. Point me to my death, my leader, and I shall happily attend.

Hoak or Hoke?
Did he drive Miss Daisy to the moon — in the nice trip for a Sunday way (not the threat of domestic abuse from Ralph Kramden way)?
Wait, the Kramdens were in The “Honeymooners”. HoneyMOONers!
…and Stanley Kubrick liked that show!
Have I uncovered the real conspiracy!

Google “Docs” is terrible branding.
It would be as if Kleenex called their core product: Tissues. Or if Ford released the Ford 2024 Car.
“We’re really gonna corner the market share and product recognition with this new product,” the towel manufacturer exclaimed.
“We call it: Towel!”
COME ON!

Pink Floyd is still dope regardless of their era of prominence.

Oh, boy. Is this … is this how I should start my weekend? With a good cry over The Secret of NIMH?

I hear Heron is great and Miyazaki is a god to me, but Spider-Verse has my heart right now.

Best Supporting Actors:
One of the Robs will prolly get it. That said, and as much as I adore him, how does Gosling get the nod but Robbie does not?
Also, America Ferrera is great but this was not her best, and Margot didn’t … ugh.

Best Actor:
Pretty sure Murphy is in like Cillian. Hmm. That line needs work.
Best Actress:
Ouch, Margo. Tough field but the bus stop scene alone…
Anyway, these five are all amazing performers (though I’m going on Hüller’s reputation).

Best Directing:
As above, can’t make an informed pick. But it feels like it’ll be a twilight honour for Scorsese.

Best Picture:
Didn’t see many this year. Depression, tight money, strike, indie work … just didn’t get out there. KotFM looks super saddening/angering and good BUT has the Sweet Hereafter aspect. Gotta be in the right frame of mind.
Barbie was pretty good. Not my fave.
American Fic. looks delish!

They will confuse themselves if they go after women in pants, which is a battle conservatives lost decades ago.
(I was trying to find a famous photo of either Dietrich or a peer flauting anti-pants laws but I failed. So these must suffice.)
Anyway, the US has gone mad with overt, codified bigotry.

Fair. Although…
*motions toward the vague direction of a certain “politician” who’s been in the news for far too many years*
…it’s not like that sort of lawyer doesn’t exist.

So, Chris Christie’s potential redemption arc has come to an end?
(If both frontrunners — 45 & 46 — were the nominees for POTUS 47, he wouldn’t vote for either.)

End of year overshare:
My mum made me one of her traditional Christmas (rum) cakes. It was tasty and I ate it in less than four days.
Now she’s mad because “That’s not healthy and it was supposed to last!”
Well, then don’t make it so delicious, woman!

No, thanks, Instagram / Threads / Meta. I’m fine where I am, post-Twitter.

Wow. This feels full-circle-y!
Jabberwocky was the first piece of grown-up poetry I remember “studying” in school. By studying, I mean the assignment was to draw an illustrated page with a passage of poetry.
And I’m pretty sure I have it 30+ yrs later. And here we are.
TLDR: Kinda trippy, yo.
