Cinemaps: An Atlas of 35 Great Movies | Andrew DeGraff, A.D. Jameson

In no order:
*Laura Dern (What a filmography! Here are just a few of my favorites: Wild At Heart, Blue Velvet, Jurassic Park, The Master)
*Amy Adams (Some favorites: Arrival, Sharp Objects, Vice)
*For relatively new talent, no doubt my favorite is Lily Gladstone based off of her incredible performance in Killers of The Flower Moon (the first Native American to win a Golden Globe for Best Actress in Motion Picture Drama & the first to ever (CONT)

dabbe 🖤 all 3! Thanks for sharing! 💜🧡💜 6d

vivastory nominated for the same category in the Oscars.
Honorable mentions-Scream Queens would be a tie between Samara Weaving (for the excellent Ready Or Not & the fantastic Mayhem with Steven Yeun) & Sigourney Weaver (just for Alien). Anna Karina (esp the collaborations w/ JP Belmondo), Tilda Swinton (gloriously weird), Toni Collette, Helena Bonham Carter etc

AmyG My favorite is Laura Dern in Enlightened…the HBO series. 6d

vivastory @AmyG I'll check it out! I just recently renewed my HBO subscription. I watched 1 excellent series & 1 atrocious series lol. 6d

vivastory @ImperfectCJ I need to check out White Lotus. I saw that she's in it 6d

ImperfectCJ @vivastory I loved her in the 2019 Little Women and the Star Wars Episode VIII. And Mask, from waaay back 6d

vivastory @ImperfectCJ I need to check out Little Women. I wanted to read it first. I tried to do so a couple of yrs ago & I just couldn't focus at the time. 6d

Leftcoastzen Laura Dern has such a range! 6d

Cathythoughts I‘m a Laura Dern fan too. 6d

Lesliereadsalot Have always loved Amy Adams since Junebug almost 20 years ago! 5d

Billypar @AmyG I'm watching Enlightened now - it's so good! I found out about it via Emily Nussbaum's book that I just finished. I've never seen a disappointing Laura Dern performance. I even enjoyed the weirdest one - Scott, have you seen Inland Empire?

I Like to Watch: Arguing My Way Through the TV Revolution

AmyG @Billypar I am a huge Mike White fan….so of course I loved this series. I was sad it was only 2 seasons. 5d

vivastory @Billypar I did see Inland Empire. I was lucky enough to see the two most recent David Lynch movies when they were first released in theatres. I def need to revisit Inland etc as I recall little of it. 5d

Billypar It's no Mulholland Drive, but it does have the distinction of being the only movie to make me yell out loud during one of the surprising nightmarish parts (luckily I was at home and not at the theater 😱😆) 5d

vivastory @Billypar No shame yelling out loud during a David Lynch movie. I remember that happening when I saw Mulholland Drive 😂 5d

Schoolhouse Rock!: The Official Guide | Tom Yohe, George Newall

Can we do #TuesdayTunes on a Thursday night?? This just came up on a Spotify-curated playlist, and I could smell that school bus seat vinyl and that particular teenage muskiness. Man…took me straight back to high school. Hadn‘t heard the song in years!

How many times do I have to learn
All the love I have is in my mind? 🎶
So good! 2w

BarbaraBB Of course we can! I didn‘t know this The Verve song but am listening to it while typing this. I love it when a song brings back such memories! 2w

BarbaraBB Still listening and what a good album! I only knew them from their biggest hit here, Bitter Sweet Symphony, which I didn‘t like much. 2w

Megabooks @BarbaraBB yes! This was an album I bought back then for their single, but I like the rest of the album much more now than BSS; although the orchestral background is still great. I associate that song with the final scene in Cruel Intentions, which was my college roommate‘s favorite movie so I saw it A LOT! Many good memories with her! 😁😁 2w

Megabooks @BarbaraBB I‘m definitely a nostalgia listener, but I‘m picking up some great new songs too lately. 2w

Megabooks @vivastory the lyrics definitely hit harder as an adult than they did as a teen. 2w

BarbaraBB I‘d love to know what you‘re picking up these days and hope you‘ll continue #ThursdayTunes 😜🥰 (edited) 2w

TieDyeDude This song is new to me, but I like it! Similar orchestral arrangement to BSS. Is that throughout the album? 2w

Bookwomble @TieDyeDude Yes, it is. I'd recommend Richard Ashcroft's solo albums to you, especially Alone With Everybody and Human Conditions. Song for the Lovers from the former has a great orchestral introduction 😊 https://open.spotify.com/track/7a90gal9tr3yS8bEXUvu8D?si=-O-28vPQSKOgNjSPsyRh4A&... (edited) 2w

Megabooks @Bookwomble thanks for chiming in! And recommending another artist I‘ll check out! I hope you try the album @TieDyeDude 👍🏻 2w

Bookwomble @Megabooks You're welcome. Richard Ashcroft is the lead singer and main songwriter for The Verve, so if you like them, you'll like him 😊 2w

Megabooks @Bookwomble I am SO BAD at knowing the names of band members! 😂😂 even bands I‘ve enjoyed for years I‘d have trouble naming them. 2w

Bookwomble @Megabooks You only know if you know! 😊 2w

60 Songs That Explain the '90s | Rob Harvilla

pick

So, I have to thank @JenReadsAlot for bringing this one to my attention! I had listened to the podcast for awhile, but didn't realize there was an accompanying book/audiobook -- and I'm so glad I finally had the chance to listen.

My tween/teen years were in the '90s, so these songs definitely hit home for me (although, surprisingly, there were some I wasn't familiar with AT ALL). Still, it was a fun trip down memory lane.

Hooked_on_books I immediately put this one on hold after @Librarybelle ‘s review. Can‘t wait to listen to it! And I‘m the other way around—I had no idea it‘s related to a podcast! 3w

So Fetch: The Making of Mean Girls (and Why We're Still So Obsessed with It) | Jennifer Keishin Armstrong

pick

I came to Mean Girls very late for a millennial (in my 30s) but ended up really liking the movie once I got there. The musical soundtrack is great too. This book is a great overview of the movie's genesis, production, and legacy. There are even a few photos, which I wasn't expecting. I would recommend this if you liked the movie.

We See Each Other: A Black, Trans Journey Through TV and Film | Tre'vell Anderson

I like a book with a playlist — and this one has a watchlist! I enjoyed this critical (yet loving) study of the “trancestry” of tv/film. It‘s also validating to see cinematic representations of people I care about IRL. More, please.

Read this if you know these 9 seasons by heart and want to learn the behind-the-scenes of one of the greatest comedic shows. It's a fun read and focuses on the interesting episodes and off-screen information. I enjoyed the heck out of it. ❤️

Forever Barbie: The Unauthorized Biography of a Real Doll | M. G. Lord

pick

What an insightful look into the world of Barbie!

This book was originally published in the 90s, but this edition has a new preface which does discuss the Barbie movie. In the preface, the author also discusses that she left the book unchanged so it‘s a large reflection of the 90s.
