Awix (3310 KP) rated Todo sobre mi madre (All About My Mother) (1999) in Movies
Sep 4, 2019
Vibrant Spanish melodrama does a remarkable job of walking a tightrope, managing to be both outrageous and provocative, and restrained and moving, often at the same time. Written down in precis, the plot - or at least the cast of characters - sounds utterly bizarre, and the fact the film doesn't really have an unambiguously male main character probably signifies this will not be to all tastes.
However, the story is engrossing, genuinely moving, and slickly made with strong performances - to the extent that you overlook the plot's tendency towards implausible coincidences and improbable and arbitrary developments. At the very end things do become a bit unravelled, but not enough to spoil what is an impressive and satisfying film.

Man, the Beta Male has some problems. Charlie Asher suddenly finds himself a widower with a newborn child. If that wasn't enough change in his life, he finds out that he has a new job: Death.
A book about grief, and processing death, Moore's supernatural take on the human soul is unique.
It does drop more F-bombs then I was prepared for; although I'm not sure why since he tends to curse quite often in the other books I've read and I would do the same if I ever found myself in that position.
This book is full of humor and wit, it is also more melancholy as well.

Exquisite Corpse is a series of interconnected vignettes about some of the women in the Surrealist art movement. They were largely overshadowed by the men in their group, and many started off as their lovers, girlfriends, wives and muses. But many were artists in their own rights. They were non-conformists, rebellious, resistance fighters, and they were all less well-known than their male counterparts.
There are examples of their works throughout the novel, and these pieces of art along with their stories, no matter how short, encouraged me to go and look for more information and art.
Many thanks to The Pigeonhole and the author for the serialisation. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Finally another view on the Transformers Universe that isnt Michael Bay.
Contains spoilers, click to show
I will give you a big heads up, I was not crazy about the idea of this movie due to Hollywood casting another female lead that is horrible unrealistic that this female that is a 10 in looks department. Michael Bay at least cast a realistic man named Shia that lets face it is no Brad Pitt. It was something normal people can relate to. Now being a gay male I found that the costar a male looked realistic and was relatable in having the crush on the 'hot' girl. No saying that they managed to sexualize it abit by showing male eye candy in boxers and the costar ripping his shirt off so I gave thaat a big thumbs up for me being the pig I am. Now moving on from the human bullshit part. The opening sequence takes place on the cybertron we all grew up to love and know. No crazy shit like the Cube is mentioned, you get an epic war scene with the majority of the original decepticons that actually look like decepticons, including soundwave and the purple guy that has one eye. I dont recall seeing megatron however, but its been awhile since I last saw it.
Anywho the movie goes on for character development for the unreal female lead which of course didnt really interest me. However there is a fierce battle between bumblebee and another decepticon and the idea of Bumblebee having a damaged voice modulator is carried over from the Michael Bay Transformers universe. Skipping forward to the introduction of the hero lead human finding bumblebee she is working on the vw beetle and she lays under the car to work on it and it looks just like when look at an transformer toy, you can see bumblebees head in the undercarriage, again freaking awesome!. So this movie made money which I am glad because I gave up on the Michael Bay transformer universe after he started slaughtering the autobots just like the Transformers Cartoon movie. So it is said we will see more from this group of writers and directors as they sort of reboot the universe and start making money again. Go see it, buy it. Snore factor of 2/10 for the stupid human parts.
