Movie Favorite

"To pick one last one, I would say… That’s hard, because I have many in my mind right now. I loved Melancholia, but I also loved Room. They’re very different. I would say those two movies, but for many different reasons. So if I have to keep one, well, let’s keep Melancholia. That was a shock because visually it was so interesting, but also I will always remember that first shot, my entire life. That big limousine was stuck and then it’s like, two persons, and you know it’s never going to work and that was that. Amazing cleverness in that shot. And also, talking about the fears and talking about depression and talking about how do you deal with that big world which is too big for you. But also a movie that’s very free. I’m just realizing I’m keeping movies that are very free. Don’t ask me my five favorite songs, please. [laughs]"

Jessica spoke to the old me. The me that was bullied in school, felt like her parents didn't care, cut herself at night to keep the emotions and depression at bay. Reading the beginning of her story brought all that back and I was able to mourn along with Jessica. I was all for Jace when he came to her rescue, I was weary of Kingsley when he first introduced himself. It didn't take long for me to switch teams, though. Jace kept messing up and Kingsley was so beautifully broken. The ending tore through me. I don't like to cry when reading, but I couldn't hold back the tears when I read the last chapter. I'm glad there's a second part, I would like to watch Jessica heal after Kingsley's death. The ending also felt a bit abrupt, with Jace suddenly coming back into her life, so taking another journey with her will help process that change.

Great backstory to work through (also listed in the bad)
Cecil's incredibly soothing voice
The Weather (are we still waiting for the bus in the rain?)
Long, LONG backstory to slog through (also listed in the good) (1 more)
A bit of a format change, part way through (I preferred the original flavor)
Oh, where to begin? I loved this podcast from the first episode, it's weird in the best ways. Think of an banana split sundae; one scoop of Lovecraft, one scoop of Stephen King, on scoop of various mythologies, a banana of Dadaism, some sprinkles of your local independent music scene, generous dollops of LGBTQ+ acceptance and support, and a single, solitary maraschino cherry of optimism in the face of overwhelming anxiety and depression.

All of this, of course, coming together as the public local news station for a small town, somewhere int he desert.

It's fun. I recommend it. Just make sure the locals don't notice that you're an interloper.
