So, tonight I watched "The Substance" while I made dinner (a cool movie and a poor choice of venue). It's a fabulous cultural take-down of beauty standards and youth obsession and skinny culture set in the MOST awesome, grotesque body horror situation. Demi Moore, Margaret Qualley, and writer/director Coralie Fargeat deserve all the flowers they got for this. It's intense, specific, and cutting to the marrow. And SO MANY BUTTS! Also freaky blood-soaked creatures. Just delight
When my first kid was a few weeks old, I was sobbing on the couch and my husband was arguing with me instead of helping me, so I stood up with the baby to get some tissue from the bathroom and pulled the bathroom door completely off with one hand. Now , the bathroom had been hastily added on by the previous owners and the door was made of plywood and moonshine, but still, I aped the door out of its frame while holding an infant. It both amused and freaked us the fuck out. N
