This is a story about control. My control.

-I wanted to watch a few more Oscar nominated films but instead took a detour and watched Hustlers. Definitely a good choice. It's good, entertaining, the soundtrack is AMAZING (the title of the post is the first thing you hear in the film, and it sets the tone wonderfully), and while not perfect, it handles the topic well, IMO. I loved Destiny and Ramona's relationship, and I liked the journalist. She worked really well as an audience POV character, at least for my POV xD. As little as she appears in comparison, some of my favorite moments in the film (outside anything Destiny/Ramona ofc) were hers, how she reacted to and got invested in the protagonists; like when she pauses before accepting the drink Destiny offers her, or when she's shown to be just as taken and flustered by Ramona as everyone else was.

-I've concluded I need to watch more stuff with Constance Wu. I loved her here and in Crazy Rich Asians, but I have no intention of watching her sitcom (with very few exceptions I tend to get unspeakably bored them). Any recs? I want to watch her episode in Dimension 404 (it's wacky sci-fi and wlw, so).

-I keep hearing good things about Harley & the BOP film, so maybe tomorrow I can drag my roommate to watch it with me.

-I just saw these pannels from an old Batman comic

where Bruce tries to woo Selina with... creepy stalagmite/stalactite metaphors?

Because one of them looks like a cat?? It's hilarious and I thought it should be shared. Old school comics are something else xDD

-Some Arrow spoilers from the finale crossed my dash. I haven’t watched that show (or any of the others; well, except for a little bit of Flash's season three, because I'm vulnerable to certain tropes LOL. Or that dreamscape episode with dream!Laurel because well. Dream Laurel, plus tropes) since they killed Earth-1 Laurel, the only character I gave a damn about by the time I left. Apparently

-I watched TVD’s second episode.
