"This follows three drag kings and how they have explored their gender through creativity and playfulness. It’s really interesting, because drag queens get so much more publicity and are so much more well-known – I hope drag kings can get more recognition now. Since my new record is very much about exploring gender, when I watched this short film I was really moved by it. There’s one drag king who through performing realised that maybe being a woman wasn’t the right way to describe who they were. It’s a very intimate and introspective film but powerful."

Arnold Schwarzenegger recommended E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial (1982) in Movies (curated)

"I think that [E.T.] was a whole new way of entertaining. I think that the whole idea of shooting from E.T.’s point of view — humans. And always making us kind of look like villains, and scary. You know really — how did E.T. feel in this world? And then the whole idea of being a fish out of the water kind of idea, it was so well done. Spielberg did just a spectacular job on that. It was literally for everyone to enjoy. I mean, it doesn’t matter — women, men, young, old — everybody could enjoy that movie."

Ahead of his time. A must for sci fi fans

If you like science fiction read this. This is part of our history, part of the beginning. So much other great literature sprang from and was inspired by this novel.
Detailed believable culture and characters that despite living in the dystopian world created by Huxley are relatable and real. Flawed humans trying to find meaning to their existence.
No spoilers...just read it.
