Oh dear. Now I get what Jana was saying when she told me that it was going to get worse before it got better.

Well another rollercoaster ride in this, but it's a necessary one for the two main characters to get closer and aww.

Then that ending. Denver Beck, you pain in the butt! It's a good job I know Riley Blackthorne will not give up on you no matter how much you push her away. Not after what happened in that graveyard...

I NEED FORETOLD ALREADY! HURRY UP POSTMAN!

*Sigh* Dax, Dax, Dax...you turned me inside out a little with your internal torturing of yourself. Why couldn't you just admit how you felt?! Both of you, really! All the hurt and pain could have been avoided so easily.

I loved Declan's book and was fascinated by his brother, Dax, so of course I had to read it. I did enjoy it but like I mentioned above, it tore me apart a little emotionally. These characters got to me. They went through a lot of crap before they got to the HEA.
  
All Quiet on the Western Front
All Quiet on the Western Front
Erich Maria Remarque, Brian O. Murdoch | 1998 | Fiction & Poetry

"All Quiet on the Western Front is a horror story. This is a book where you lose your childhood, your faith in a meaningful world, and your concern for individuals. You’re stuck in a nightmare. Sucked up into a mysterious whirlpool of death and pain. You’re defending yourself from elimination. You’re being wiped off the face of the map. Once upon a time you were an innocent youth with big dreams about being a concert pianist. Once you loved life and the world, and now you’re shooting it to pieces."

The Breakfast Club (1985)
1985 | Comedy, Drama

"Breakfast Club. That movie is awesome. I love it because it really gets to me, especially Anthony Michael Hall‘s part. When he’s talking about how he feels lonely and how he feels pain, too. He calls out Molly Ringwald. He’s all, “You don’t think I feel this way. F— you, Claire.” I love that. I love that. That part gets to me so hard because I had his spirit in high school. Even though you can relate to everyone in a certain way, I feel like I related to him the most internally."

It's a battle of morals wrapped up in an emotional roller coaster. You clearly see the wrong - cheating on anyone is wrong - but you also see how wonderful both Kellan and Denny are. It's so easy to slip into Kiera's shoes and understand her dilemma, neither men deserve to have their heart broke, but it's also hard to watch her struggle to choose because you know it will only end in pain. There are even moments when you'll feel like, either way, you would be okay with her decision. Thoughtless is a wonderful, emotional mess!

Ridiculously early Oscar predictions:
Best Picture- Jojo Rabbit (they have never been keen on satire, but it looks like a winner at TIFF)
Best Director- Terence Malick, A Hidden Life
Best Actor- Antonio Banderas, Pain & Glory (plays a veiled version of his director like Roy Scheider)
Best Actress- Cynthia Erivo, Harriet
Best Supporting Actor- John Lithgow, Bombshell (they like villainous people)
Best Supporting Actress- Annette Bening (famous Oscar loser gets redemption)
Best Original Screenplay- The Farewell (QT has 2 already)
Best Adapted Screenplay- Jojo Rabbit (writers live satire though)

Rolling Stone's 448th greatest album of all time
The Police's final album and you can tell that the band have started to go in different directions. Sting has largely disappeared, rectally, and the songs all show a much slower pace than their post-punk origins, showing more jazz influence and much more laid back in general. Oddly, all the recognisable singles (the massive "Every Breath You Take", "King of Pain" and "Wrapped Around Your Finger") are squeezed in at the end of the album, with not much of interest coming before those.
