Rec'd on 📚 1/22: What did you read last week?

I took a break from reading Absalom, Absalom! by William Faulkner to read this. (I was on a long waitlist at my library for this book, so I had to pick it up!)
I knew going in the vibe of the book going in but I definitely didn’t expect the narrator to be obsessed with Whoopi Goldberg and her pussy as much as she was….but all in all it was an interesting read to say the least.

cinema clubs

went to a cinema club - this is what it's all about. community is real! even in the city! it's not all over. i watched natural enemies and boxing helena with my friend and ally charlie. the first was awesome, the second was less so - but arguably more fun. sherilyn fenn is not a star, she is something else entirely.

Drop DeAD GORGEOUS

One of the best Mockumentary films ever, and definitely one of the funniest. AND THE CAST IS AMAZING!! Young Kirsten Dunst, Young Amy Adams, Young Brittany Murphy (RIP) and the middle aged powerhouses Kirstie Alley (RIP) and Allison Janney….literally can’t get any better!!
Praise aside, there’s a moment in the movie with the drama geek contestant, recites a revised monologue (something about Soylent Green) that mentions “2024” and I think that’s so cute and awesome that on a random watch, little things like that could pop out at anytime.
