i couldn’t write the things i want on my film review for the papers.
so censors and complacency aside, i’ve written a post on Gareth Edwards’ Monsters here.
personally, i don’t even think movies need to be rated. every ‘trashy’ film has a value of its own. and to put a number (of stars) or to grade them can be a really reductive approach. even to...

Elope with Me
the litany begins at home, that which houses we satelites.
in our own distant orbits, we traverse worlds yet there are ultimately worlds of our own.
