Mel / MJ (she/they) @emjayenzed.bsky.social · 29/09/2026The Matrix is my main choice bc it was and remains iconic, but also The Green Mile! So good. And the Austin Powers movie, which I haven’t rewatched in 20 yrs bc I’m sure it will be a hard watch now, was one of a kind at the time. 111

Mel / MJ (she/they) @emjayenzed.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Pain day, so have spent most of it in bed watching the Blizzcon livestream (I need an Undead Paladin now) & alternating with reading WICKHILLS by Premee Mohamed, which is making me fall in love with her use of language all over again. Fabulous book, highly recommend. 000

Mel / MJ (she/they) @emjayenzed.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Yes, this! I tend to describe the hook as ‘when the movie starts playing’. Initially, I’m reading words on a page but in a good book, it turns into a movie in my mind that is totally immersive. 000
