FORTUNE TELLER A joy of city living is getting a glimpse of what other people own. On nighttime walks with my dog, I love to peek through windows, momentary glances at furniture, artwork, and paint choices. On the weekends, neighbors leave unwanted items on the curb for anyone to rescue. On certain blocks of Beachwood, makeshift flea markets have begun to appear: racks of clothing, boxes of books, weathered lampshades. On a recent walk, I passed a collection of books that overstayed their welcome. Atop the pile sat a golden-trimmed copy of Fortune Telling. I flipped to my birthday, and read the following prediction: “You are uncommunicative.” I stopped there; I didn’t need to read anymore. Was it meant to be a fortune, or indicative of my present nature? Was the fortune in attempting to perform the opposite of that—am I better off communicating? I decided not to think too much about it; after all, it was just a random book, neither purchased by nor left for me.

Fortune Teller

Really nasty movie!

Bone Temple lacks the sheer visual audaciousness of last year’s 28 Years Later, but I liked DaCosta’s POV and Alex Garland’s script delivers. Recommend!

Mmmm you’re making me hungry

I have so much to watch for work today…

I grew up only an hour or so north of here!

The only reason we watch thr traitors is to nitpick all the ways production on this show sucks ass

Yes! Always gotta see a new Park. Very few directors use a camera the way he does. You can really feel him using it as a tool, a very active lens.

Very. What did you make of no other choice?

4k restoration of Hovering Over the Water today!!! Last time I saw it was a shitty VHS rip in 2019

Good morning

Marty Supreme is so stupid good and Timothee is out of this world

Vines creeping on a wall, blue flowers in bloom, bees buzzing about

There are flowers that bloom once every twelve years. At our University museum, there was one such plant, expected to bloom, finally, two months in the future. There were advertisements all over campus announcing the event; they expected such a large turnout that they sold tickets for designated blocks of time the days the flower would be full. That was all—twelve years of dormancy, two days to display. After that, the flower begins to wilt. So he bought us tickets, and we anticipated the flower’s arrival. But that was folly; two months isn’t so long, really, in the grand scheme of twelve years. I never saw it. We didn’t speak the words, but the invitation was rescinded, and by then it was too late to buy a ticket myself. To the flower, it didn’t matter that my eyes did not perceive it. It bloomed, wilted, and receded on its own. It would have done so with or without me.

Some commentary on my selects over here www.instagram.com/itsamovietim...

Same :/

Seemingly overshadowed by Baz’s ostentatious Elvis biopic released the previous year, Sofia Coppola’s Priscilla is a far more compelling look into the shadow of fame cast by the king of rock and roll. Just hit Netflix, definitely recommend it if you missed it on the first go around.

Right there with you 🤝
