covid and flu shots achieved today. I'm kinda hoping I feel terrible tomorrow so I can guilt free call in sick. Though it will mean inconveniencing my coworkers, so I might just suffer at work.
I read this book, and I liked it a lot. It has absolutely no point. I don't think there's a plot? It bothered me at first, but when I gave up waiting for sense I was able to read it better.
A gothic coming-of-age tale for modern times, When We Were Animals is a dark, provocative journey into the American heartland. So the main character is suburban housewife with a son and a nice guy husband who doesn't fit in great. Every night she sneaks down to the kitchen to write a kind of memoir about her childhood growing up in a small town where teenagers spend a year during puberty running wild during the full moon. They are straight up beautiful monsters, and the language used is such poetry.
Dune -> It was on my TV and I watched whenever Oscar Isaac was there. Timothée Chalamet annoys me - seems awful full of himself.
Squid Game -> I am not cut out to watch Korean dramas, I could not handle the acting which to my comfort zone looked like incredible OVERacting. I went through the eps a little faster on the computer where I could skip 10secs over some of my worst cringes. I think it's a giant conspiracy to get people to eat more fried chicken.
Eternals
I mean, being actual immortal would suck. And they showed how it would suck in several different ways. But there was also a lot of joy. I was entertained through most the movie. I was confused because I thought Salma Hayek would have more to do. The reveal that Ikaris would be taking the opposite side in the final battle was good, and that last fight was good.
Phastos is fantastic, and I wish we'd had a little more time with him between the atomic bomb and when he met Ben. I was so excited with how much action he had at the end fight, smacking Ikaris around. And that mea culpa "I love you so much." to Ben at the end was hilarious and adorable.
I'm now watching Jessica Chastain and Oscar Isaac in Scenes From a Marriage and wow they are brutal.
