domarzioneIs it a sign of age or self-knowledge or profound boringness that the best I can do for "frivolous birthday gift to self" is a fish spatula, cookie jar, and metal mixing bowls?
I am hoping that this reaction of the Black Panther cast to seeing footage from the movie for the first time is a harbinger of great things to come. Because they are seriously chuffed.
The trailer for Call Me By Your Name dropped today. It debuted at Sundance back before the summer and got an excellent reception. It looks beautiful and I hope it's as lovely in all respects. I'm not big on coming of age movies, but this one might be an exception.
I have finally seen Rogue One. Well, I've finally seen all of it intact because despite my best Tumblr filters, I saw seemingly half the movie in gifset form. Still, it's far better in its original format. A grown-up Star Wars movie without interpreting "grown up" as "vulgar." Also, The Dirty Dozen in Space. Now I have to go back and look for fic and/or canon backstories and whatnot because I understand why they skipped all of that, but... but. Recs welcome.
I confess that I am a devotee of the Daily Mail. I know what it is and I don't take it seriously, but in between the shots of "peachy posteriors" and blatant celebs-calling-the-photogs shots, they regularly do remarkable photo essays (historical and natural) and a steady stream of genuinely nice Good Human stories.
For actual gossip, I prefer Lainey's site because I honestly don't care about any of these people, but I'm admittedly a little fascinated by how the sausage gets made -- the angles, the campaigns, the strategic deployments of pictures and scoops.
