Stuff I'm Looking Forward to in February

Can't believe we're now into the middle of the first quarter of 2024. In addition to Black History Month (2/1-2/29), Groundhog Day (2/2), Lunar New Year (2/10), Valentine's Day (2/14), Ash Wednesday (2/14), Presidents' Day (2/19), and Leap Day (2/20) here is what's on my radar this month:

Movies:

Orion and the Dark

What got my attention about this animated feature is that it is written by Charlie Kaufman. Yes - the writer of Being John Malkovich and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind wrote this! Premieres on Netflix on 2/2.

Lisa Frankenstein 

This horror comedy from director Zelda Williams (yes - the daughter of a legend) and writer Diablo Cody looks promising. Opens 2/9 (review to come).

Madame Web 

The newest entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe is also the next installment of the Spider-Man Universe as this gets into multiple Spider-Women and they filmed in Boston too. Color me curious! Opens 2/14.

Kiss the Future

During the Zoo TV Tour in 1993, U2 shined a light on the crisis in Sarajevo in an effort to support the besieged Sarajevans. This documentary about their efforts was produced by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. After playing festivals last year, it is being released exclusively by AMC Theaters on 2/19.

Drive-Away Dolls

I was a huge fan of the Coen brothers, but after The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, they began working solo. After Joel Coen’s The Tragedy of Macbeth, I’m excited to see Ethan Coen’s solo feature, an action comedy about inept criminals, which is his wheelhouse. I first was looking forward to this in September 2023 and I still am. Opening 2/23.

Music:

Paul McCartney & Wings Band on the Run 50th Anniversary Edition

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Paul McCartney's greatest non-Beatles album, a new special edition is being released. The timing happens to be a few weeks after the passing of Wings guitarist Denny Laine as well. Re-release drops on 2/2.

J. Mascis What Do We Do Now

In addition to Dinosaur Jr., J. Mascis has done some great solo work. His last solo album Elastic Days had some bangers and I was lucky enough to see him do a live solo show in 2019. Looking forward to his newest solo album, which drops 2/2.

TV:

Curb Your Enthusiasm Season 12 premiere

The 12th season of one of the most brilliant TV comedies of all time is going to be the final season (or so they say). Even though it's only at season 12, each season has been spaced out over the past 24 years. I named Season 11 my Best TV Show of 2021. Hopes are high for Larry David's social assassin going out on a high note! Season premiere on 2/4 on HBO.

Awards Season:

We're in the midst of awards season now! This month we have Grammy Awards (2/4), DGA Awards (2/10), SAG Awards (2/24), and Independent Spirit Awards (2/25). Not exactly an awards show, but the biggest competition of the year is the Super Bowl (2/11) as well.

Lydia Ainsworth | Kiss The Future

I know the cage from both sides now As the handle breaks the gate swings wide Light, seeking light, doth light of light beguiled

High above the fog upon a lake I'm like a vulture, like a bird of prey That is I see all from here to eternity

Just as my heart drifts open, heart drips golden voices Just as my broken centre lifts to kiss the future

First Kiss

Charles has always left Edwin little notes slipped between the pages of his favorite books, in his science equipment, places he knows Edwin loves. Just silly things—post its that say “hi Edwin :)”. doodles of Edwin with his nose stuck in a book. reminders to stock up on wolfsbane. but.

Then, post canon, Edwin tentatively starts dating people. And it’s ridiculous, because Edwin’s right there, all the time, but Charles..misses him a bit. And his heads a mess, and he can’t sort out what the hell he’s feeling most of the time, and whenever he tries to say any of it out loud it comes out rubbish.

So. He writes down some of the shit he can’t say right, and because he’s a coward, hides them so he doesn’t have to see Edwin’s face when he reads them.

then Edwin starts writing back.

Neat lilac blue little envelopes appear in Charles coat pockets. In his bag. Once, in his shoe? Some nights, Edwin will clear his throat and mention something from a letter, offhand, like they’re just picking up conversation, and Charles can pretend they are. That they always have talked about the basement, the belt, the nameless fear that chokes him every time Edwin walks out the door with someone else on his arm.

Sometimes he can’t. The words get stuck in his throat. Edwin’s not mad, he’s maddeningly, stubbornly kind about it, which is worse.

Some nights they trade. A secret for a secret. Charles learns about the novels Edwin used to hide under his mattress, about all the lonely years before Charles got there. About Simon.

Meanwhile, Edwin is losing his mind, because Charles has accidentally stumbled onto what was a fucking courting ritual in his time. Love letters were something engaged couples treasured for years, kept and reread over and over. (Edwin does. keep them in a special box, will take one out and trace the words, tuck it in his breast pocket for courage).

Edwin would rather have to reattach a limb again than lose Charles trust, all the dark and beautiful things he shares with Edwin only. He knows—knows Charles doesn’t mean to make him fall more in love with him.

Honestly one of the cruelest things Erik did to Charles was pause after saying Angel. You can see the anger fade immediately, he thinks for a moment that Erik is meeting him with love and gentleness. It anchors him, he stops to really look at him. Eyes to lips. For a moment he thought Erik called him Angel.

And he’s throughly confused why Erik is listing names after. I’m going to be sick.

I’m thinking about academically burnt out reader who hooks up with ex convict Sukuna.

Reader is just tired, exhausted from all the stress of assignments, homework, internship applications and has just given up. She doesn’t do anything more than just go to class, come back and sleep till she wakes up hungry. She doesn’t feel anything anymore. Depression is on the horizon.

So her friends try to get her to go out with them. They take her to a dingy house party instead of a club so she won’t have to get too dressed up.

Things are alright- her friends quickly left to be with a more fun person to drink with and her beer has her drunk enough to actually enjoy the generic pop remixes blaring from the speakers.

That is until a large man bumps into her making her spill her drink all over herself.

That was it. The final straw. The final block to be removed for the tower to fall over.

She begins to hysterically cry. This was so not her. She did not spend her Saturdays in a no-name neighborhood with beer all over her hoodie that she had been wearing for 2 days.

The large man clicks his tongue and is starting to get looks from people so he takes her upstairs to calm her down.

Anyway, he’s drunk too and one thing leads to another and she wakes up next to a shirtless and tattooed man sleeping next to her. She isn’t even wearing her hoodie; she has an oversized shirt on. Horrified, she runs away and grabs the bus back to her apartment and is freaking out, not having any recollection of what happened the night before.

She finally goes to class the next day and lo and behold, the man from the party is standing right in front of her lecture building. He asks her to return his shirt because she threw up on him and she’s relieved that they didn’t sleep together. Blah blah blah, they end up making out in his jeep and she nearly jumps in her seat after finding out that he’s an ex convict who’s pushing 30.

All she can think is this: “ew, ew, ew, this is so not me.”

It’s like everything in her life is going down hill. Bad grades, losing friends, no internships, no hobbies outside of sleeping, and the worst of all- being friends with benefits with a man who has no moral compass.

But then again he’s the only one who knows how to fuck her the way she wants.
