Plus One (2019)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I am a massive fan of Pen15, so this may be only slightly biased.

Maya Erskine is in fact a genius. Whenever she talks about her parents in any piece of media, I get misty-eyed.

This is a perfect romcom, but it isn’t perfectly formulaic like other romcoms. It is hurtful, yearning, aching, hot, sweet, with characters you can’t help but adore.

Oh my god, I LOVE when they put weird girls in rom coms. For fuck’s sake, weird girl representation in the romcom genre is few and far between. She makes the conversation far more real. And more heartbreaking at times?

Watch this if:

you read Wattpad fanfiction in your highschool years

while reading said fanfiction, you scoured the ‘friends to lovers’ tag, maybe even the ‘meet cute’ tag

Similar titles:

Pen15 (2019-2021) (cringe comedy, Maya and Anna (re)living their middle school experiences)

Someone Great (2019) (charming woman gets over a breakup with the help of her friends)

The Wedding Year (2019) (duo attends multiple weddings while they face another year of loneliness)

The Holidate (2019) (unfortunately, this is a Hallmark movie)

Strange Darling

Movies watched in 2024

Strange Darling (2023, USA)

Director & Writer: JT Mollner

Mini-review:

I must admit this movie didn't surprise as much as people have been saying (I saw the twist coming almost right away), but I loved the nonlinear structure. It forces you to pay attention to every single detail, and it did keep me guessing even without the shock of the twist. Beyond that, the other thing that makes this film special is Willa Fitzgerald's performance. She was really good in The Fall of the House of Usher, but her work here is on a whole other level. To put it simply, it's a starmaking performance and I'm expecting to see a lot more of her from here on out. Anyway, Strange Darling is a smart thriller, even if it wasn't as wholly unpredictable as I expected.

Hello everyone! I'm announcing the first novel of my new series, Mana Mirror, a slowburn to power, with slice of life / mildly cozy elements, and a magic system somewhere in between classical fantasy and the fun strangeness of the Weirkey Chronicles. To celebrate the audio release, book one is on sale for ninety-nine cents!

This is the novel's description:

When Malachi Baker stumbles into an offer of apprenticeship from the esteemed and powerful Occultist Orykson, he's left in shock and jumps at the chance to learn... Even if it means taking out a few loans.

Unfortunately, his new teacher sees him more as a tool than a student, and has set Malachi near-impossible goals before he becomes worthy of Orykson's full attention, and Malachi's innate power is only somewhat above average.

Worse, it turns out that Orykson has enemies more powerful than Malachi had ever imagined – and now their attention has landed solidly on him.

Torn between the mage who can offer him everything, and a strange old woman who offers him the chance to guide his own path, Malachi is left scrambling to find his purpose as a new mage.

…

"Mana Mirror is an exciting new magical progression fantasy where Malachi, our hero, awakens a long-lost family legacy and trains to unleash its full potential. With a fascinating magic system reminiscent of Sarah Lin's Weirkey Chronicles, but a setting slanted more toward classic wizardry, Mana Mirror is an exciting start to a fantastic new adventure. I couldn't put it down."

- Andrew Rowe, Author of Arcane Ascension

Plus One    [trailer]

In order to survive a summer of wedding fever, longtime single friends, Ben and Alice, agree to be each other's plus one at every wedding they've been invited to.

Best "formula" rom-com in quite some time. Yes, it means that it's entirely predictable, including a necessary "conflict" between the two that comes too sudden. But it's just too much fun to watch Alice and Ben. I especially found Maya Erskine highly enjoyable.

Deserves to be more widely seen.

[bluecollarfilm]

Plus One (2019)

Long-time friends Alice and Ben find themselves in that inevitable year that all late 20-somethings experience -- in which seemingly every person they know gets married -- and agree to be one another's plus ones as they power through an endless parade of insufferable weddings.

Directed by:   Jeff Chan & Andrew Rhymer

Meet the Fossil Detectives in the Basement

by Suzanne Mills and Albert Kollar

Gray metal storage cabinets march in rows across the concrete floor. The collection space has no windows and there is a constant hissing sound from the overhead air ducts. No matter, the staff is looking for clues of the geologic and paleontological past, or History of the Earth, through the vast collection of fossil invertebrates. The staff and volunteers of the Section of Invertebrate Paleontology (IP) is tasked to reorganize, preserve, and curate fossils through the leadership of the Collection Manager Albert Kollar.

Collection Assistant Kevin Love at the doors of the Invertebrate Paleontology section.

On any given workday, you’ll find us hefting drawers full of fossil-bearing rocks and playing specimen-box Tetris to make fossils fit in the available cabinet space. We examine century-old inventory books, search out (usually Google) maps to find absconded valuables (historical fossil sites), and decipher written scripts in unfamiliar French and German for valuable geologic data.

Long-term volunteers in IP include Rich Fedosick, a researcher assisting in the project to document the Carnegie building stones; John Harper, an expert on fossil snails taxonomy, Roman Kyshakevych, who is deciphering the famous Coppi collection from Italy; Tamra Schiappa, a paleontologist at Slippery Rock University who is updating fossil cephalopod identifications; and Vicky Sowinski, who performs collection support. Student researchers include collection assistant and graphic artist Kay Hughes, a 2021 Mount Holyoke College graduate who coauthored four peer-reviewed scientific publications produced by IP; and collection assistant Will Vincentt, who researched two Bayet collections, the Hunsruck Slate of Germany and Lyme Regis of England. Tara Pallas-Sheetz, a part-time assistant, has worked on various projects over the years.

Hear from some of our newest staff and summer volunteers in their own words below.

Lizzie Begley with large fossil corals

Name: Lizzie Begley

About me: B.A. Anthropology Penn State 2021; masters candidate in Museum Studies and Non-profit Management certification in progress at Johns Hopkins University

Why IP: Working “behind the scenes” in IP has helped me develop a better sense of what it looks like to work in a museum such as the Carnegie. As an aspiring museum professional, experience behind gallery floors is invaluable as I work to find my place in the field. For this experience I couldn’t be more grateful and, honestly, couldn’t be having more fun!

Katie Golden with fossil ammonites

Name: Katie Golden

About me: B.S. Biology, Juniata College 2023 (expected)

Why IP: When I was in preschool, I told people I wanted to be a paleontologist when I grew up. Here in IP, I like exploring a part of the museum that most people don’t get to see. I particularly enjoy puzzle-piecing together fossils that need repair. The intricate ammonites, trilobites, and insects preserved in amber are especially beautiful. My favorite fossil organism is Anomalocaris.

Tori Gouza with fossil corals

Name: Tori Gouza

About me: B.A. History and Anthropology, University of Pittsburgh 2023 (expected)

Why IP: I love working in IP. It is so exciting to be able to interact with others in the section and to learn what projects they are currently working on. Albert Kollar has encouraged not only discussion but also collaboration. It is great to converse with others who are passionate about their work.

Kevin Love enters data about a fossil eurypterid

Name: Kevin Love

About me: IP Collection Assistant; B.S. Geology and Ecology & Evolution summa cum laude, University of Pittsburgh 2021

Why IP: I like solving puzzles at work. I find invertebrate fossils aesthetically appealing, but the main reason I like this job is that I get to understand little enigmas from Earth’s past. I like solving historical questions and compiling more information about fossils in the collection.

Suzanne Mills with fossil trilobite Isotelus gigas

Name: Suzanne Mills

About me: IP Collection Assistant, Professional Geologist, mom

Why IP: Every day is different when you work with a collection of 800,000 specimens. I may come across a 100-million-year-old ammonite sparkling with crystals inside, or a drawer full of trilobites acquired by the museum in 1903, when Andrew Carnegie was alive. I love that my work requires me to learn more about fossils which are beautiful, historical, and scientifically significant.

Ellis Peet with fossil crinoids

Name: Ellis Peet

About me: B.S. Environmental Geoscience with Geology concentration, Slippery Rock University 2021

Why IP: The management and staff of IP are smart, kind, personable, and they take paleontology seriously. I also like the environment at IP because it smells like a library and limestone dust, which reminds me of the geology department at Slippery Rock.

Joann Wilson with fossil trilobite Paradoxides spinosus from the Baron de Bayet collection

Name: Joann Wilson

About me: Interpreter for the Department of Education, Carnegie Museum of Natural History

Why IP: Fossils inspire awe.  I enjoy unravelling the stories behind the individuals that discovered, studied and collected these breathtaking specimens.

Suzanne Mills is a Collection Assistant and Albert Kollar is Collections Manager in the Section of Invertebrate Paleontology at Carnegie Museum of Natural History. Museum employees are encouraged to blog about their unique experiences and knowledge gained from working at the museum.
