Please consider subscribing to my newsletter! It’s free. I would be really thrilled to get just a few more people on the mailing list this time around. I’m back to posting regularly again. More to come very soon.

Or: Come ceramics shopping with me, because I've tried everything a person can do, and still, every week, I plow into at least one deer*. And I love deer. Seven months, no newsletter. Difficult, l...

The whole thing stinks.
Important detail on Paramount's hostile takeover bid to buy WBD:

Paramount's financing partners include Jared Kushner's private equity firm, plus Saudi Arabia's, Qatar's and Abu Dhabi's sovereign wealth funds.

Kushner's involvement was NOT publicized by Paramount.

Day 15. A film that broke your heart.

Once and never again. Suzie Templeton is amazing. I also highly recommend PETER AND THE WOLF, but please don't watch this if you're sensitive to dogs in peril.

‘The grey wolf knows me; by one ear
I lead along the woodland deer;
The hares run by me growing bold.
They will not hush, the leaves a-flutter round me, the beech leaves old.’ ~ Yeats, The Madness Of King Goll.

Day 14. Your favourite film from your least favourite genre.

Biopics. This is also one of the best films about undiagnosed autism.
Also - Captain Foot Fetish can go fuck himself.

For someone who loves lists and cataloguing, I don't keep up with my Letterboxd enough. Unless I'm working on something, in which case, 3 of these people were expected. But I feel that, like the yearly 'wraps' for streaming sites, they seem to discount the first half of the year.

This is the social script I've always needed.
Often misunderstood: “Do you understand what I mean?” & “Does that make sense?”

If I ask, it’s because I think I didn’t make sense

If they hear, sometimes they think I think they are unintelligent

This is not the case!

So now I say, “Did I manage to make sense?”

Because it’s about me, not you 🫶🏻

Oh big deal, I’m always like that when I leave the house in summer. Don’t boo her, she’s right. And this is just Melbourne — she’s going to lose her shit when she gets to Brisbane.

Day 12: A film that left you feeling confused.

What was Aubrey Beardsley doing there? What did he do to deserve all that? Drawing giant knobs? Dying of tuberculosis? And why was it kinda good?
