Just found this jewel of a book back in my shelf...

I remember loving it in 6th grade and I'm so hyped on rereading it soon!

[emmartian]

The three perfect things this year to keep me living much much more.

Armored Core VI Fires of Rubicon - From Software

I have a soft spot for games where “you” start so low: a corpse, an addict cop fell from grace, a drained bounty hunter sent to a planet alone to get her soul eaten by somehow gentle parasites. 

Armored Core 6 puts you in a body bag and promises to give you a meaning.

The game makes you feel in pain, both physically and mentally, yet you dance the fastest legs exquisitely, while the voices in your brain implants seem to notice you, to worry about you, to tell you you're an artist that can crave for even more.

You choose a how to see if you’re still here. And so, you fly high the miserable sky.

The Boy and the Heron - Studio Ghibli

I’ve read a lot of words about The Boy and the Heron by this point, looking to praise it by finding hidden sources, mysterious meanings and cultural roots behind its attributed “unorthodox” narrative. But I doubt this given depth was THAT intentional.

To me, this film might be the peak of Hayao Miyazaki’s philosophy for process and creation which is well known that doesn’t allow a glimpse of restraint. First and foremost, dealing with a canonical script.

A choice that brings freedom and obsession. A way to live, instead a way to create, to be the stories we tell ourselves. I strongly believe this is what the film exhales. Depth and meaning by making brilliant collaborators invested with the nurtured concepts in his brain. Depth and meaning by making us fall for the intense personality of such a hard work overall.

To grasp a gap in the system you have to be so bold. And I can't wait for what comes next.

A Guest in the House - Emily Carroll

As dear homie Sloane Leong says in her quote, a Guest in the House is a very sophisticated character study coded as a horror tale, with exquisite art, prose and pacing. 100% Emily’s trademark.

Personally, I still can't stop smiling at how it philosophically reads as an essay about evasion. On how skipping reality can be empowering and healing, and more than anything, romantic; even if, you know, it takes you to the grou… Please don't mind me.

Hide from hideous, grasp a glimpse of justice, make the self you want to be, legit. Toxic. The knight or the ghost. In Emily’s safe HUB, the guts spill into refined erotic scenarios that make the average the most dreadful place to be.

Anyway. You don't do a book on this scale alone, to save the day. The accurate craft still feels like a scream. It's the kind of work that saves the medium by making creators unsafe. Please consider reading it and support it. Emily’s writing truly is precious.

She also did a beautiful Bloodborne short out of love this year. For the fans!

It still brings me so much joy that our second season opened up with a song and dance number. Watching Gerry and his dancers sing and dance to Aretha Franklin and George Michael's 'I Knew You Were Waiting For Me' was a joyous way to welcome in the season, after waiting two years for it. I now cannot listen to the song without thinking about Gerry!

Did you know that we weren't initially going to have a song and dance number to open the season? In a tweet that Michael Lucas wrote on the day Decision 87 first aired, he mentions that it wasn't present in early drafts of the episode script, however it was the suggestion to include the line "please thank the Tony Bartuccio Dancers" as an off-screen announcement from Emma Freeman that allowed for this nerdy joy to escalate beautifully! If you enjoyed the musical number, you have Emma Freeman to thank. What a legend! 👸🏻

It just happened to be a perfect nod to some real Australian pop culture history too. The variety show host Don Lane used to have the Tony Bartuccio Dancers on his Don Lane show, which went from 1975 to 1983. In this picture (a screengrab from a video uploaded by Oz Kitsch on their Twitter and Tik Tok pages) you can see Don with the dancers in his rendition of Billy Joel's 'Tell Her About It' from 1983. Look at that Lycra costuming glory! I love it! 😂

There are a few similarities between Gerry Carroll and Don Lane (1933 - 2009); both entertainers living in Australia who came from overseas, Gerry from Ireland and Don from America. They both host variety shows in the 1980s and they both love to include song and dance numbers in their programmes! The more you dig into Australian pop culture and history from the 1980s, the more you realise how bloody clever the showmakers of The Newsreader have been in their commitment to the era. Locate a cheesy 80s song and dance number to listen to today! 😉💖🎶🌟📺

this probably won't reach anyone because i'm not even sure if this 10 year old show even has any active followers of it but to anyone who loved the following, did anyone actually watch series 3? this was one of my favourite shows in the world but i never saw the final season because one half of my fav died in the series 2 finale & i know the other died at some point during the 3rd season. would anyone recommend finishing the show properly?

Crazy, Stupid, Love (2011) Review – Exploring the Past

TL;DR –.  While it is showing its age in places, it revels in the chaos of the moment and the power of relationships. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 3.5 out of 5. Post-Credit Scene – There is no Post-Credit Scene Disclosure – I paid for the Stan service that viewed this film. Crazy, Stupid, Love Review – I have been sick this week, and what I tend to do is fall back into that realm of comfort films to help…
