"In many ways, 8½ defined what modern cinema is. I feel its influence all over the place. It’s expressionistic, and it’s also a film that describes the feelings of confusion that we are all dealing with living in the modern world. All the signs and symbols are messed up, and everything is subjective. It’s like some aspect of cinema reached a limit in this film, and I don’t know how it can be surpassed."

I really got into this, once we were at the palace and she'd bumped into Maxon that is. Team Maxon all the way after reading this. He's so nice and gentle with America's feelings and I'm so happy she'd going to give him a chance!

Really looking forward to reading The Elite, and hopefully with my birthday in 10 days I'll get the Amazon gift-card I've asked for and can sink into it!

Zach Galligan recommended Taxi Driver (1976) in Movies (curated)

1976 | Thriller

"Certainly Taxi Driver would be on the list, because it’s probably the greatest character study ever put on film, with some of the most surprising twists and turns. It also has such a perfect exploration of the feelings at the time of the mid-70s. Politically and socially, it just captures that time in an amazing way — captures New York, which is my home town, in an amazing way. It’s an incredible time capsule."

Unlike the other short M/M book I've read today, I didn't particularly enjoy this one. It started good but I lost interest once things started heating up between out decorator and gardener. It just didn't grab me, it was all sex with no feelings...maybe I'm being unfair by comparing it to the one I like better earlier, but that's the way I'm feeling right now.

I won't be continuing the series.

"Sometimes (Backwood)" by Gigi Perez
The single is an Indie/Alternative song about a person experiencing doubt about their relationship and their partner's feelings.

I haven't got much to say about the lyrics, except they don't really leave you guessing on what the song is about - they make it very clear.

The music is alright, and her voice is beautiful, but all in all, it is not my cup of tea.
