How to do Europe in five days
Jackie and Jilly, who used to be friends and colleagues while both lived in L.A., are finally meeting again at a bar in Boise, Idaho, for the first time in years.
“I hear you went on a trip last year?”
“Yes, we did Europe in five days. It was great.”
“What do you mean by you did Europe?”
“Well, we looked up What to see in Europe on the Internet and planned accordingly.”
“I see.”
“It worked perfectly. We did France, Spain, Italy, Germany and England.”
“And saw them in five days?”
“Yes! And the beauty of it is we’ll never have to go back there.”
“Because you’ve seen all there is to see?”
“Everything worth seeing!”
“Good for you and your blessed little eyes!”
“Are you being sarcastic by any chance?”
“Never! Europe and the wisdom of the Internet would never recover!”

Google Reviews
I’m not sure if you write reviews on Google for places you’ve visited both at home and abroad, but it would appear the AI algorithm used to check the content has some very strange rules. I’ll provide two examples:
The first is my review of Avenida station in Lisbon, in which I said that “Avenida is on the Blue Line and is one stop north of Restauradores.” This was referred back to me by Google…

Vivarium (May 2019)
Directed by: Lorcan Finnegan
Written by: Lorcan Finnegan and Garret Shanley
Rated R for language and some sexuality/nudity.
Movie Synopsis: A young couple visits a real estate agency to buy a house. A strange agent accompanies them to a mysterious and peculiar new development to show them a single-family home. There they will be trapped in a labyrinthine nightmare.
Review 5 stars
Mind bending, thrilling and disturbingly maddening. It is your endless labyrinth combined with the unfathomable nightmare of raising a childlike creature that you yourself as a viewer will want to get rid of. I couldn't help but sympathize with the main characters the entire time and by the end I couldn't believe nor understand what I watched. But nevertheless, I couldn't help but want to watch it again. It's wonderfully bizarre.
Watch it on: Amazon Prime

Welcome, friends.
This will be a page for my personal film review and critique. Thank you for being interested in reading those thoughts and feelings. If you know me, hi. If you’re new here, sup?
I’m going to be attending Columbia Chicago next year and am determined to sharpen my film knowledge and delve into unknown genres before my time there. I hope you’re ready for a ride. I’d love to know if any of you have recommendations! What is your go-to movie that you think no one even likes? I want to like it!
Anyways. For a very long time, I’ve wanted to start what I’ve now deemed “The FilmographOdyssey”. Choosing one director, writer, actor, etc. at a time, and watching everything they’ve written/starred in… you get the picture. It’s a daunting task and I had an awful time deciding how to begin. Then I did! David Fincher has decidedly become one of my top 5 Directors of all time. No, not everything he’s ever worked on is a 10/10 masterpiece, but the guy’s got style. And edge. And world-building storytelling.
So, that’s where we’re starting. I’ll be watching all feature films directed by David Fincher, in chronological order. (To the best of my ability, of course. Streaming devices, am I right?) Even though I’ve seen most of these movies before, I’m already so excited to dive back into the mind of this talented dude! Journey with me, if you will.
My next post will be the first review of the Fincher series. Blood stains, boxes, and Brad Pitt.
Oscar-nominated for Film-Editing? Meh.
Seven.
Come back to read that, if you’re curious. Let me know what movies you’re watching for the creepy season! Is there anything else you like me to cover here? This is a space for movies/tv and friendship. The door is always open.

the men and boys are innocent too.
we cry "the innocent women and children" to appeal to the masses, to try and force their sympathy, but the men and boys are innocent too.
I have seen sons crying out for their mothers, their fathers, their siblings. I have seen them break down at the loss of their families. I have seen them cling to their dead and grieve.
I have seen fathers cradle their dead children, seen them kiss their faces and hold their little hands. I have seen them faint with grief when asked to identify the dead. I have seen them carry their sons and daughters. I have seen them fasting to provide what little they can for their families.
I have seen men and boys digging through the rubble with just their bare hands, I have seen them comforting strangers, playing with children, rocking them, hushing them, even if the face of such imminent danger. I have seen them cry, seen them grieve, seen them break down into each other's arms, seen them be selfless, beyond selfless, becoming something I don't have a word for.
I have seen the men who are doctors refuse to leave their patients, even when they have no medicine or supplies to give them, even when they're threatened with bombings. I have seen fathers who have lost all their children pick orphans up into their arms and proclaim them their child so they are not alone. I have seen men and boys digging pets out of the rubble.
the men are innocent too. the men and boys are being hurt and killed too. the men and boys are grieving too. the men and boys are scared too. the men and boys are fighting to save their people too. the men and boys deserve to be fought for too.
