i’m so so so glad showtimes for richmond got added. the acting, cinematography, the symbolism— both follows the book & takes departures in ways to deepen the theming. i’m watching it again tomorrow to catch even more of it…….
had a big halloween party at work ☺️ and then followed it up by a day of cleaning and frankensteining

i’m planning a road trip to see it next week since the closest showings are 2-3 hours away (unless you can get more showings in richmond, va 🙏) because it seems so worth it!!! excited to see it how it’s meant to be seen ☺️

06.10.2025 13:45 — 👍 12 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0also: sorry i’ve been sparse lately. you’re never gonna believe it, as a creative on the internet, but i have adhd and im trying to get medicated for it bc my executive function for things like “running a webstore” and “responding to emails” has hit a wall recently 🫠
