Like a bird on the wire
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free
Leonard Cohen [1969]
Modern America has rendered love a forgone fairytale. Hollywood’s subliminal messaging will exacerbate the growing apathy and hedonism in our society.
A message I sent my friend:
“Total Recall is underrated, unrelated. Poor Things, I gave half a star.
Poor Things is guilty of the trope of being composed of only broken tropes, and in turn, horseshoeing itself into weak work, mirroring what it seeks to disavow…negating the entire message of the book on which it’s based. Its fruits hang lower than a codger’s balls that brush his shins.“
