Movie Roundup

This blog will now become a place where I put my thoughts on movies. Extensive thoughts. I think what I'd like to do is, at the end of every month, post a list of movies that I watched throughout the month with a summary of thoughts. Of course taking into account all the biases I, a human being, contain. To get the thing going, I will hastily post monthly roundups through all of 2022 and simply list the movies and highlight which ones stood out to me. Then starting with July I will do the summary rigamaroll. Onwards and upwards and forwards we go!

There was a tree that blocked the view a tad but it was gorgeous -- looked like a Mandelbrot in front of the sunrise. And not only that was beautiful, the nature side I mean, but if you looked all the way around even on the UConn side, it was all so beautiful. So blue. He and I just marvelled in the nature and how it was cold but not freezing, windy but not too much...such silence and serenity and the colors man...those fucking colors. I told him the ‘drash about how the sky is like a kippah, because it looked so round...it was gorgeous. I stood up and he was in front of me and he was like 'Look over th...
