Far out.
I just watched this movie (so late on the bandwagon) and can fully understand why it was awarded so much praise.
I was on the edge of my seat the whole time and never saw what was coming next.
Great commentary on classism and the perpetual cycle of poverty, the imagery was so powerful and shocking.
Its one of those movies where you just feel terrible for everyone involved.
Im excited to read some breakdowns and properly analyse the messages it conveys.
10/10 great film; quite long but so engaging you wont notice.

The best $25 I spend every month. Literally pays for itself if you see one movie
plus if I see a bad movie I donβt feel like I wasted money

I recently watched The Monkey for free at Chicago's Music Box Theatre β and even stuck around for Perkin's Q&A session. I have to say, it was the best movie-going experience I've ever had. An organist played the score with diabolical cymbals in the background β come on! And the movie was hilarious and equal parts gory!

Great movie to kick off the new year, on at 9 PM on the 31st at the Studio Galande cinema in the 5th arrondissement, lots of fun and probably very nice people to meet. Come dressed up for extra fun.
As a bonus, I believe it's the only theatre in the world that's been showing the movie weekly with actors since it first came out in 1975, so that's pretty cool !

by Virginia Woolf
My local library holds a classics interpretation group; i havent attended yet but this months classic is a passage by Virginia Woolf called Kew Gardens. I gave it a squiz before i put myself to bed tonight and i really enjoyed it. π
Its a beautiful passage that is set on a hot spring day in a garden where the narrator explores the thoughts of the men and women whom lay on the grass in Kew Gardens. π²πͺ΅πͺ·π·
There is a lovely snail she refers back to a couple times throughout and i just love that dude and all he accomplishes ππ.
Beautiful imagery and a lovely little midday ramble from Woolf π€

Last night on a whim i bought a 20 dollar second hand fire put off facebook market place. I invited some friends around and gathered my housemates and we all had such a lovely night toasting marshmellows and sharing stories by the fire.
Its winter here in aus and the warm fire was such a lovely treat against the brisk night atmosphere.
You can find fire pits super cheap second hand, and theyre a great way to get your buddies together and enjoy eachothers company. x ππ
