My one problem with Poor Things is, Bella Baxter should have had armpit hair. She had long jet black hair and ahem other body hair. Hard to imagine anyone shaving her pits against her will. In conclusion that is why I shan't be awarding this movie The Academy Award

instead of watching the Oscars last night I watched Oscar van Rhijn lose his family's fortune on television's best worst show, The Gilded Age, a show that is absolutely committed to having 100 subplots none of which can ever be satisfactorily resolved

The personal essay that lets the writer self-immolate is a genre, and it's been a genre for at least a decade, but what's interesting is that it's a genre only for women.* * to write. Anyone can enjoy reading it.
