Also “to” should have been “you” in that opening sentence. Suffice it to say, I’m the human equivalent of an enigma machine right now and you’ve got the arduous task of trying to work out what I’m saying. 😆

Just realised to were referring to Mockingbird. Someone posted up seeing Mysterious Skin literally just before your post and I assumed they had adapted it to a play and you watched that on stage. So yeah… my post probably made no sense. Haha.

Lars! Great film.

Once you’ve read this scene, you won’t forget it.

Just finished watching Aaron Sorkin’s adaptation of TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD at the Lowry Theatre. Cried three times and my palms still smart from applauding.

I get that the cultural timeline in 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple stopped before that nonce was out’ed, but using that nonce as a visual narrative leads to me having to explain who that nonce was to my kids, when what I’m trying to do is never mention that sick fucker again.

Win.

A ★★★★ review of Shoplifters (2018) If ever there was a movie made that defines the adage that anyone can have a child, but it takes a really mother/father to be a parent, it’s Hirokazu Koreeda’s dark but touching Shoplifters.
