What we’re talking about is
late night and early morning clouds
having an amplifying effect
on overall temperature
Growing up
an impressionable mass (mess?) of opinions and dreams
lodged solidly between sisters with big breasts and big feelings,
as they strum,
smoke, celebrate
What bothered me was that up until human lives were involved, I hadn’t thought any part of Holmes’s activities, nor Balwani’s, were especially out of the ordinary for a tech company.
FICTION / Penance / Olivia Loccisano
“It is Juanita,” she continued. And Father Henry told her he was sorry but did not know the woman. She continued, “You committed a sin against a child long ago. I have come to forgive you for this sin.”
FILM / Captain Canada's Movie Rodeo / April 2022 / Gabriel Ricard
Captain Canada’s Movie Rodeo’s latest Pop Culture Edition is the edition to end all editions. For Now. There’ll be another sequel someday. Probably. Maybe with Godzilla. Stay tuned.
FILM / Val is part film. Part memoir. Part art installation. / Tamara MC
Film reels and journals created when he wasn't expecting a global audience solidify his life, saying: I lived. I lived. Isn't that what most of us want, to be remembered?
FILM / Why I’ll Never Forget James Bond’s Death, Whether I Want To or Not/ Nick Brouard
The heart of the film is about time, specifically time running out. It’s a theme that’s set up within minutes of the picture’s opening, when Bond (loved up and retired) turns to amour Madeleine Swann and declares, “We have all the time in the world.”
And then the conversation turns to sculpture’s curves, forcing me
from the false trail I’ve been following. Perhaps one day I will stop
writing poems about Godzilla-adjacent things, which will be very sad.
The Emperor looked upon his reflection. “Oh no! My hair looks hideous,” he thought. “It looks to be in the shape of a poodle. I cannot see the beauty in the hairdo. What does this mean? I cannot be racist. I must lack exquisite taste!”
Rumpelstiltskin took Prince Florian home, and loved him, kept him warm, and fed him well. Florian traded in his gold jumpsuit for a cloth diaper. Rumpelstiltskin’s magic did not involve making breastmilk, so he did need to hire a wet-nurse with some gold he had spun from his rhododendron.
Up until this point, Gershon was probably best known for her recurring role on Melrose Place. The argument could be made that, in contrast to Berkley’s, the movie helped Gershon’s career, probably because Gershon’s sumptuous, femme fatale turn as Cristal Conners possibly could have worked if it were featured in literally any other movie with these themes.
Mom said, Some things can’t be fixed.
And this was a blow I did not accept so I scotch taped her back together
along with a leg I took off when I couldn’t make her bend.
The film didn’t kill Tucker in his mid-20s, though, and it didn’t kill his career. He kept working in Hollywood, made it onto some big projects, and now there’s an independent filmmaking award named after him. A fellow could do a lot worse than that in an industry that eats its own.
Molly was moody and dreamy, had career issues and artistic aspirations, and was short and wide of hip, which made her, for me, more like a mirror. Like me, she was a bit defiant about just letting life unfurl.
But this time was a little different. Younger me wouldn’t have understood the dedication from Suzanne. She wouldn’t have understood the song lyrics in the song Suzanne wanted to dedicate to George, which means she also wouldn’t have understood what kind of “good times” they shared if the song choice was any indication.
TRUTH THESE YOUNG LORDS HOARD DOUGH
Jane Austen Pride and Prejudice
Heather hooked her thumb in once,
Into the cavern of Heather's pink velvet mouth,
Just to see if she would let her.

long for people to see Clark is special.
