Is it too late to start a “Friday night party music” thread in the Rage instance? Screw it, I will. It can always be used for Saturday so it’s a weekend one.

It’s getting late in the month so I should probably do the frugal and gardening discussion threads… kinda hard as I haven’t really been growing much except for cat grass and haven’t really been buying much/don’t have many new budget tips to contribute.

I’ll work something out though. I feel like it’s important to maintain activity on independent platforms and spaces in case they fizzle and you lose them.

Book Review. Upheaval, Jared Diamond. It was a great premise, looking at the cultural qualities that determine resilience of countries but it was both not that insightful, sometimes wrong and dated. Don’t bother.

Movie Review.

So it’s no secret that one of my fave children’s movies of all time is the The Witches, 1990. It’s one of those movies I can quote and often do! I watched so many kid’s movies when Miss Seagoon was a little Seagoon ) so I thought I would watch the remake. It’s not even a kid’s story, it’s a parody of corporate culture. But anyway.

Loved it. I love how it is set in America, the casting is wonderful, the animation was aaaaawesoooome. Fun combination of effects and animation. The purple smoke was chef’s kiss. It’s changed up a little, the mice aren’t turned back again. Not sure why not. I think the remake was careful to be religious, which was a wise move for America.

  The mice stay mice in the original text as well, so in some ways (despite the setting change) this is a surprisingly faithful adaptation
