Wars in the Stars
I finally saw Star Wars, mostly out of a desire to not be a cultural hermit. And I found it to be shockingly delightful and adorable! There was something very charmingly old-fashioned about the movie-making, all those on-the-nose music cues and the scene transitions and the immersive world-building. There was a real joy in the movie that was ( Read more... ) -
