From start to finish, this movie was a wild ride. I’ve read the entire series of comics after I’ve watched the movie on my ipod touch.
It changed the way I looked and felt about the world because why live in a world that’s bland and boring when it could be fun and full of whimsy (lol). From the amount of vfx and action to the song choices (i owe you my life black sheep brie larson edition) this will always be a movie i can call home to.

i‘ve had a late 20’s lotr awakening.
watched all of the movies last year for the first time and DAMN do they hold up. special effects still dazzle, good balance of humor, viggo mortensen looking the sexiest a human has ever looked on screen.
read the first book slowly over several months while reading other books alongside it. the songs can be a bit much but it mostly slapped. i was surprised by how much it moved me.
finally finished and sprang for the uncut version the next day. simply an excellent use of time!!!!! will never forgive them for omitting tom bombadil and goldberry tho.

I used to be hardcore book before movie but two recent experiences changed my mind.
1. I finally read Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep and it is radically different from Blade Runner. Setting, tone, themes—Blade Runner ditched them all and just kept the replicants and the protagonist's name. And its still a fantastic adaptation. One piece of art begat another.
2. I decided to read Poor Things after watching the movie because the characters were so charming. The two works' presentations are different but equally endearing. Reading the book now makes me appreciate the omissions and condensation made for film, and the director's visual choices and additions. It's like I watched a creatively interpreted abridge version and now I'm reading deeper in a textbook.
I think being so staunchly book-first made me approach movie adaptations with a lot of judgement. Now it's like I'm tasting a sample of a story and can choose to dive into the full course if it's compelling enough.

A song that hurts the most when you most expect it, Hayden’s latest release embodies what it’s like to lose someone even if they aren’t gone and the production and vocals really something to behold. Take the time to reflect on the lyrics and to explore more on the lore of Ethel.

So much story in this one little shop. Where did they get these items? Who were they from? Why is it all little naked babies? I love vintage shops, I LOVE THEM ALL

Another banger by Lorde. Literally a great start for her next album and I can’t wait for more.
