Movie #21 of 2021: Us. Didn't really work for me plot-wise but Lupita Nyong'o is so off-the-charts good and the tension is ratcheted up so high during the entire movie that the plot almost doesn't matter. Liked it.

THREAD ALERT: New year, new thread! The ongoing list of all my movie watches during 2021.

Movie #20 of 2021: Love and Monsters. It's basically a Zombieland clone with mutants swapped for zombies, and minus the humour (though it tries). Decidedly meh.

Next up from Mount #TBR: Brian Evenson's Immobility, about a man woken up to a post-apocalyptic wasteland after 30 years. Also, lots of reviews mention philosophy and Samuel Beckett, which is a bit unexpected, but here we go! #amreading

Next up from Mount #TBR: Nik Korpon's The Rebellion's Last Traitor, a post-apocalyptic noir SF novel about memory thieves. First came across Korpon back in my publishing days and, lemme tell you, the guy can write. Excited to start this one. #amreading

Why the fuck did I even become a writer. Oh here let me just make up this imaginary person with all these imaginary problems I HAVE TO SOLVE when I cannot solve my OWN very REAL problems. You dick.

Next up from Mount #TBR: Stewart O'Nan's Emily, Alone, about an isolated widow dealing with old age. I really enjoyed O'Nan's Song for the Missing and have heard great things about this one. #amreading
