Alan Arkin saying "Pack-ee-derm" (0 more)

While in some ways a strange marriage, Dumbo has several Tim Burton elements: an evil rich guy, Michael Keaton/Danny DeVito/Eva Green, outsiders, people who don't get a lot of sun even though they live in a traveling circus. The most Tim Burton thing about it is when Dreamland is engulfed in smoke surrounded by dark clouds and Nightmare Island. The rest of the film is mostly live action Disney. Dumbo has Bambi-like doe eyes and except for the evil wannabe tycoon the humans are sentimental and protective of the kids.

My top 10 films of the year...

1. Joker
2. Midsommar
3. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
4. Doctor Sleep
5. Avengers: Endgame
6. Marriage Story
7. Toy story 4
8. Us
9. John Wick 3: Parabellum
10. Spider-Man: Far From Home

I still haven't got round to watching The Irishman, Parasite, El Camino, or Dragged Across Concrete yet so I'm sure this will probably change!

Also, Frozen II just missed out, but it's legit great 🤞

My pick for most disappointing film of the year goes to The Lion King without a doubt.👎

Convenience Store Woman is a weird little novel. Granted, Americans have a very different culture than the Japanese when it comes to marriage and jobs. This story follows a strange woman during her years of working at a convenience store, which she loves and does well at. However, the way she is viewed puts stress and panic on her to fit in with society. The story, itself, is quirky, but the main character is an odd duck, herself. Plus, if you're the type of reader that loves to hate characters, this book definitely has one for you!
