Transition

Monday, October 31st, 2022

Some pretty big changes are coming this week that are going to shuffle things around quite a bit, be ready to update your bookmarks… and maybe some assumptions! It’s something that’s been a long time coming and I’m very excited to finally be able to share it!

The Babadook

Monday, October 24th, 2022

This isn’t really a mini-review, but I saw The Babadook (2014) again for the first time in years. I don’t quite remember my take back then, but I really liked it now, probably one of the best representation of grief on screen that I’ve seen, blending the imaginary with the real to show how utterly destructive and annihilating unchecked emotions can be… and a poignant final message that sets it apart from others in the genre.

Beautifully done.

Coincidentally, as I post this, I realize I saw it on the 23rd, meaning it was seven months to the day since Dad left us. Seems oddly fitting…
