What happened? Normally her books are lovely and are instant buy clicks, but this just seemed lacking. Quite a few holes that we don't know and no idea about the why that occurs at most of the big points in the story. Could this be a tie-in to the Justice series? By the end of the book I went "huh? What that was the end?" Sadness, have another instant buy to read later. #Coyer book.

I've always liked Edward scissorhands first time in along time since I've watched it so I thought as it was on Disney + I would watch it again glad I did a modern take on Frankenstein dark in places but there are plenty of light moments thru out the movie. I would say this is one of Johnny Depps best roles he brings childlike innocent to the role and sadness overall good movie

2024 sequel to the 2015 original, in which Riley has now grown up and is off to Hockey Camp just as she also hits puberty - cue new emotions Anxiety, Ennui, Embarrassment and Envy all appearing in her 'Numskul' style control room, alongside the existing Joy, Sadness, Disgust and Fear.

Anxiety takes over.

Like the original, this does a good job of showing how we need *all* emotions, not just one or two, in order to operate ...

"Three Italians! I remember crying really badly with that when all the films in the projection room are on fire. I remember that also it was a film that when I was really young I could see myself reflected in the younger part of the film. And you can grow with the film, you know. When you become more mature you find a lot of sadness in the story of the old guy while he’s watching at the beginning and the end"

"I read this as a young student, and I thought you had to be me or one of my friends to appreciate the raw humor and sweet sadness. So I was surprised when my father picked up my book when I was home for summer holiday, and I saw him sitting in his reading chair, laughing out loud. It’s a bit like your parents copying your playlist and actually digging it; you're not sure whether you should feel invaded or proud."

"Most of my recent essays include a reference to Jane Austen and to my mum. I read and reread "Persuasion" for its painful rendering of love that continues in the absence of an object, and for the delicacy of its heroine’s goodness. Anne, in the sadness of what she believes to be her ruined life, can be concerned to prevent a country walk from being spoiled by her sister Mary-- a marvelous depiction of obnoxiousness. And the happy ending is delicious."
