Book Rating

This was one of my favourite books when I was younger.
And reading it while I'm older, its still a brilliant book.
I love the writing style with the P.O.V coming from black beauty. You feel like you're watching his life unfold from the side lines. While reading I was transported to 19th century England, and while it's just a story, its horrible to know the horrors that some horses went through.
This book will always remain one of my favourites.

Movie Favorite

"The zenith for both Pabst and star Louise Brooks—the latter has become almost solely emblematic of the flapper age because of this film! Adapted from playwright Franz Wedekind’s story of Lulu, a preternaturally powerful beauty blithely strolling through the mating marshlands of the world, where nature is savagely cruel to both the pursuers and the pursued. Watch this film at different stages of your romantic life span and behold your sympathies shifting all over the place! Ouch! Gorgeous! Ouch, again!"

Ondi Timoner recommended The Peanut Butter Falcon (2019) in Movies (curated)

"“The Peanut Butter Falcon” is a must-see that will melt your heart. It should be shown in every school in America, because no one can leave this film and see people with disabilities the same way again. The love and beauty in every frame of this film is palpable, and it’s charming as heck. In fact, I would say Shia LaBeouf and Zack Gottsagen on the run together makes for the greatest love story of the year, tied only with…"

"Kelly Reno gives one of the three greatest performances by a kid (next to Anna Paquin in The Piano and Victoire Thivisol in Ponette). Watch him be his own stuntman on an island with no hospital, a production with no net. Kelly Reno is a beast of an actor, and then controls beasts himself. The present crop of abs-obsessed, fake-tough actors should tremble before him. Director of photography Caleb Deschanel shoots this movie effortlessly but still drenches it in beauty."

Guilty pleasure

We binged watched both the first and second season even though its not normally our kind of show ! 😁
The premise was fine , the beauty of the show is seeing the Australian landscapes and beaches ect. ......... and maybe a laugh or two at some of the absurd contestants.
Season 2 added some nice touches but also lost some too , i hope they come back with a season 3 but go back to the original format and keep the bits they added !

need 2 gameboys

Gotta catch em all! If you have both games and 2 gameboys!

my first introduction into the rpg format and games and one that I still play to this day, the story in the game keeps on engaged and playing, but the real beauty of the game is trying to catch all the pokemon, evolve them and level them up and creating a team worthy of beating the elite 4!
