this is the first volume in a much-extended serialized version of "Atop the Trees, Beneath the Mountains." if you haven't read ATTBTM, then this book might make you furious. If you have read ATTBTM, then I think you'll love all the background machinations I suggested being unfurled into full plots.

For bonus fun, when I try to brush him off outside so he doesn't make the house disgusting, he rolls on his back (the place I need to brush off) so I can also give him belly rubs.

I saw Practical Magic 2 yesterday! My longer review's on Letterboxd, but the short version is that I enjoyed myself, but I wouldn't recommend it for anyone else. letterboxd.com/roryhume/fil... As is customary when I remember, I took notes on the trailers in front of the movie. Only four this time!

This is a pretty faithful adaptation of The Book of Magic (a book I didn't really like), necessarily truncated for time, with occasional badly-scripted moments and weird crosstalk. Practical Magic 2 a...

I get constantly misgendered, but the dogs I hang out with rarely do. (For extra fun, walk a male dog in a pink leash and see what happens.)

I like how this looks like a movie about three girls in their 20s who just don't get along but all have to live together after their grandmother leaves them her rambling mansion in her will, with Sarah McLachlan as their kooky aunt who's also the mayor.

Rolling Stone cover picturing Chappell Roan (in pale white porcelain doll makeup), leaning her head on Olivia Rodrigo's shoulder, with Doechii leaning over Olivia's other shoulder. Olivia has a daisy in her mouth. Sarah McLachlan is leaning over them like she's descending from orbit. Headline "How Daisy Chain Made History: Inside Olivia Rodrigo's fun-filled, fundraising festival"

Good thread about a nonfiction formula! I'm writing a Patreon post about editing fiction, and I bring up formulas and say "It can be more straightforward to finish a story in this way, but it still takes skill to make your writing entertaining". They exist to write in volume, coherently, fast.

I was feeling sad about Tim Curry, and rewatching Clue helped, so maybe I should also rewatch 9 to 5.

Undiscovered Country is my first remembered theatrical experience, and it rocked. The intro score into the Praxis explosion, the Bird of Prey attack, the final space battle…chef kiss.

It's only now dawning on me that it's probably not common overlap to have both listened to Belle and Sebastian in the 2000s and had cursory baseball knowledge at the same time. (My knowledge on this subject was largely "Piazza's a fun name".)

Slept on it because I was extremely sleep-deprived yesterday, and I have some thematic concerns with The Odyssey. I'll save them for whenever I get a second viewing, in part because I want to think about them in conjunction with the execution.

Saw The Odyssey and wrote way too much about it without including my two most prominent thoughts during my viewing, which were 1. I want Zendaya's Athena to hold my hand 2. The media that best prepped me for the story was Hades II??? Anyway, review here: letterboxd.com/roryhume/fil...

Saying "content" (or worse, "consuming content") makes average people sound like soulless corporate suits AND usually there's a more specific word that works better. Lose/lose all around.

The Cain Chronicles tropes include Alpha mates, love triangle with brothers, surprise! pregnancy, the girl is the monster, who's the daddy?, rival Alphas, government vs werewolves, and wedding drama

The discussions of The Odyssey I've seen around made me realize that it's probably strange that I graduated high school/did half of a lit-focused college undergrad and came nowhere near it in a school environment. So many people came across it without trying.

Close Encounters is on in the coffeeshop, and for as much as they're very different filmmakers, a thing that unites Spielberg and Nolan is how they can, on a dime, turn their movie into a horror picture when necessary.

What's funny to me is that I've been into superheroes my whole life and I've run into this problem my whole life, but I've barely read comics. I bailed out of DC's animated universe when they switched from individual superhero shows into Justice League.

It wasn't a strong reaction, but the small group reaction I'll always remember best was seeing Brokeback Mountain theatrically and having a group of gay men behind me joking about the use of spit in the tent sex scene. Probably because they were a) funny and b) right.

I hate this idea in the arts. (I ran into it doing performance arts as well.) There's a difference between developing a thicker skin so well-delivered corrections won't hurt, and someone with power trying to hurt you and calling it help.

This is a really good explainer (I learned a couple things!). I'd only add that nonbinary trans people who hormonally transition will often do lower doses of testosterone than required for full exogenous puberty and will sometimes stop T prescriptions altogether after achieving desired effects.

Christopher Nolan really likes one-word titles starting with the letter i.
