Elvis, 2022 - ★★★★★

Baz Luhrmann, you are my guy 4L. What an awesome movie. I'm sickened by the level of greatness that movie possessed. But I mean, who can be surprised? This was a Baz Luhrmann film after all. Austin Butler put his SOUL into his performance as Elvis Presley. What a beautiful film. Super duper kudos to the whole cast and crew. And I give a special shoutout to makeup as well as the editing crew. They did their thing! I know some will have complaints about the extravagance of the film, but 1) it's about Elvis, what did you expect? and 2) It's a Baz Luhrmann film, what did you expect? Baz Luhrmann was the perfect guy to make an Elvis movie, he completely gets how to put on a show, just like EP himself. - Letterboxd

    Omg you just reaffirmed my want to go see it cause those trailers had me hooked im ngl. i was actually gonna ask you if you wanted to go to the theater w/ me to watch it cause we both wanted to see it but thats okay bc i can just talk to you about it after i watch it. this actually makes me much more interested in baz now that you’ve mentioned him and ik if you like a movie to where you talk about it like this then its probably good. also loving the blog i will comment more often.

      Ahh, dang! I wish I had known, it would have been so fun to see it together, and you could have used one of the free tickets my family has for the Cinemark in Fayetteville. I'm trying to watch Romeo + Juliet on HBO next because Baz Luhrmann has only directed 6 films and I love his distinctive style. After seeing Elvis, I'm officially putting him on my list of favorite directors which is James Gunn, Taika Waititi (just for his revamp of Thor), and now Baz! He's really cool because of his involvement in various aspects of movie production. For Elvis, he wrote, produced, and directed, not by himself of course, but it's still a high level of involvement, which is what he's known for. Definitely call/text me when you watch it, you're totally gonna love it and follow it up with an Elvis phase, which will be cool.

Vogue: An Ode To The Marc Jacobs The Tote Bag

  This image is from the Vogue article,  An Ode To The Marc Jacobs The Tote Bag . I think it's such a lovely photo. I bought my own MJ tote bag today, yasss! It is so beautiful!!! I got The Small Tote Bag in Black . After tax, it cost 210.60. I only have 9.33 left lol. I have 30 more bucks on the way, but 39.33 still isn't much. This summer I have  to get a job. I want more Marc Jacobs tote bags. I also want clothes, so I really need the money. My odd jobs are inconsistent so I can't rely on that to buy bags which cost over 200 after tax. Now, here are some general updates: - Today, I watched Brightburn, as well as Sparky and Micaela and Hamster PSA, so that's 3 more parts of James Gunn's filmography I've completed. - Right now, I am watching Movie 43. I really like it! This is so funny lol.

Yet the Town Keeps Going

In my May 31 post titled "Being Weird", I said, "Now that I've completed Stranger Things, I don't really know what to do. I've been reading  this new manga , and I like it, but I'm not obsessed with it. It's fun, that's all. It's not like Arakawa Under the Bridge, or the series I read last summer where I spent every waking moment on them. I don't think there are many more series out there that can consume me the way the stuff I read last summer did.". Here is an update on that manga. The manga is called Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru or SoreMachi for short. In English, the name is Yet the Town Keeps Going, but I like to call it SoreMachi. I read it from May 29 to June 5, and I totally loved it. At the beginning, I was not obsessed, but as I read further I could not put it down. At first, I felt it was going by slowly, but eventually, it started speeding by and I was at the final chapter (138.5) in a flash. 139 chapters went by like noth...
