Godzilla Minus One was surprisingly good! Redemption story, more about character development than monsters. Brought me to tears at times.
Have y'all seen it? What'd you think?
Have you heard the controversy surrounding Sabrina Carpenter's new album? For a taste, check out this article on the album art or this twitter thread.
What do you think of Carpenter's work, the public's reaction? Does it even matter?
I think Lalo, from Better Call Saul, is the only deeply embodied villain I've ever seen portrayed on television. He's embodied in both the sense that he has strong physical energy in every scene, and also importantly the way the character seems to navigate the world through intelligent, but 'non-conscious' actions. He's like, a Taoist hero.
It sharply contrasts him with the other villain, Gus, who is a cerebral planner thinking everything through. This difference goes hand in hand with their conflict. I thought both actors portrayed their roles and their mindsets magnificently; here's a great analysis of the subtle ways that Tony Dalton brought that to the role https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddXnhoQ1I-4&ab_channel=JustanObservation

Significance of Kendrick Lamar's Superbowl performance. Here's what I've learned so far, would love to hear everything others find!
Wholesomeness culture. I was listening to a cool album Dara and Forest recommended called ten days, and as I was listening to it I had this surge of: ahh yeah, wholesomeness is so cool, I wish it was a bigger trend. And then I'm like: how is it already a big trend to be wholesome, which I'm just not aware of yet? This album feels that way to me. I guess in some way sustainable living, recycling, reusing is wholesome and trendy these days, as well as being honest and kind (Relatefulness and AR seems to be a little trendy these days), living healthy, supporting local businesses etc. what else is wholesome and trendy these days?
