I'm so glad I bought my Bikini Kill concert ticket during the pre-sale and didn't wait.

Unfortunately, I did. I was completely overwhelmed by the brutality. It's a "me" thing. I had similar feelings watching the hand to hand combat in Jason Momoa's TV show Chief of War.

I remember going in a blind watch of Gangs of New York in the theater and it was not what I was expecting. I was not expecting the brutal fight scenes.

Can I cast that to my TV and watch it on the TV?

I just realized I'm behind posting about 12 films that I've watched over the last couple of months. 😕 #52FilmsbyWomen

I think this season has definitely gotten better as it's gotten closer to the finale.

I Saw The TV Glow was the last indy movie that stayed in theaters in my town for more than a couple of weeks.

I'm so glad Shannon is gone.Nothing I would hate more on the island is somebody forcing their teammates to join in on the fake spiritual mumbo jumbo. I'd be okay if Shannon did her thang and let other teammates join in if they wanted to.

The United States is the only wealthy, industrialized nation that does not provide universal healthcare. Why can't the USA get it together.

Has it already been 10 years? Time seems to be going by too fast. I hope the ACA subsidies are back before then.
