I've spent the past week absolutely sick and managed to watch an entire season of Haikyuu!! aka the perfect anime to watch while sick because the characters spend half the time monologuing what's happening so my sick little brain can still understand! Also, I'm OBSESSED with it!!!!

Some may call listening to "When It All Falls Apart" by The Veronicas on repeat a cry for help, I call it the only way I muster up the courage to write when I absolutely do not feel like writing*

*this is most definitely a cry for help

I've officially had the quintessential film festival experience: walking into one screening while still crying from the film I had just watched

📰 New post on my Substack! 📰

I get very dramatic over my partner's recent soy intolerance and reflect on Juzo Itami's love letter to food in 'Tampopo'

Absolutely wild day.

I watched three movies. Cried during two of them.

One was Eva Victor's utterly incredible SORRY, BABY.

The other, was CARS.

It's been a tough couple of months, but I'm currently listening to 'Girls on Film' by Duran Duran while setting up my movie watchlist spreadsheet

If a movie has Peter Falk in it, it's instantly one of the greatest movies ever made.

Three years away from Chicago-style citations was three years too many. The footnotes! The precision! The sheer elegance! I'm home.

What was your first ever movie theatre experience? #FilmSky

Mine was Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001). I also vividly remember my first 3D cinema experience was Spy Kids 3D: Game Over (2003) because I left the theatre with bloodshot eyes since I didn't blink the entire time because it was so cool!!

Do you ever do something that you used to do as a child that you haven't done in ages then suddenly you remember what true happiness feels like?

Yes, I just sorted my pencils by colour.
