Thunderbolts*

Yeah okay. That was great. Julia Louis Dreyfuss says “good girl” twice in this movie and I almost ed out. 

I haven’t seen any Marvel products since Black Panther 2. And even without the context of the shows or movies, I really enjoyed this! Derick explained a couple of things as we went which helped. 

I think the themes were a lot more poignant than I was excepting. Super heavy handed but still a really powerful thing to tackle in any blockbuster. Me and Derick both teared up during Florence Pugh’s monologue. She’s such a fabulous actress. We’re probably gonna see Fantastic Four together :)

As a youth librarian. you often have to set your interests aside to appeal to tweens and teens. I've seen other librarians (and educators) prioritize the kind of programming that THEY would be interested in, which rarely works on a tween/teen audience.

So with that being the case, it's always a pleasure when I can organically integrate some of my ions into my programming! Our summer reading is about cultural celebration. I have a running club dedicated to animated movies…

And you’re a black magical girl? I know that’s right. 

what I was saying about black girlfailures? YUUUUUUP. The ending song is absolutely transcendent. Lofi black girlfailure yuri. Now I know that’s right.

The art style already shines through, even in a rough animatic. The writing and sense of humor are already there. The brief full color scene with the lead pipe is so kino. I can already tell this is gonna be a hit!! 

My heart is with this and I’ve only seen 12 minutes. I hope this gets picked up ASAP 🥹🥹🥹

Jaws

I’m very serious about being a Good Movie Watcher. I always turn my phone off and create a cerebral movie atmosphere. But like. I’ve seen Jaws a dozen times. I used it as background noise while I tried to beat the final boss for Deltarune Chapter 34. (And I’m still trying. I’m so bad at bullet hells.)

I did sit my black ass and listen during the USS Indianapolis monologue, though. It’s really arresting, no matter how many times I watch this movie.

Better than Dangerous Animals, btw. Just so you know
