I Saw the TV Glow 2024
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Sitting in the theater during the last twenty or so minutes, trying desperately to ignore the asshole next to me on his phone and the 20-somethings below me talking, I found myself crying. It's not too late being the final straw. I was devastated by all of the lives we fail to live when we do not accept our honest truth.
Sure it's wrapped in a package of nostalgia and neon and static but it's about the way media allows…

Children of Men 2006
Scavenger Hunt #66: 29. Watch a film that takes place right before and/or during the apocalypse.

"If I loved you less I could talk about it more"
Let me start off by saying this is a very biased review because I have a very gooey center that goes a little gooier when Jane Austen is involved.
This film is perfect. It captures, for me anyway, the spirit of the book. It's truly the Clueless of period correct Emma adaptions. I will not explain myself.
There are so many things I want to talk about so I…
