"Let's dig into that. How did you feel? Why did it matter to you?"

Gonna pitch a review of Wake Up Dead Man to the Guardian that is 800 words comparing it to Harriet the Spy and Gone Girl and being mad that Benoit Blanc solves the case at the end of the movie instead of saying "Hm, I wonder who killed him" and walking off into the sunset.

a pre-teen asked me who my favourite actress was today and ok i just switched it around to ask her about her favourite actress (a tie: Cynthis Erivo and Millie Bobby Brown) but my first thought was “is Claire Danes too on the nose? No wait. Would an 11yr old know who Claire Danes is?”

watched A House of Dynamite yesterday and I intensely loved it for, I’m gonna say, the first hour? Then it was more like, sure this film is ok. Still loving the sound design and the visuals and ❤️Jared Harris❤️ etc. But NOW, though, now that I’ve had time to sleep on it, friends, I’m… annoyed?

I lost my patience with someone at work on Tuesday - someone above me - and in an unexpected turn of events, the three people to whom I’ve described the scene have all told me not to apologize
