scala (2023) is a brilliant documentary about the scala cinema in london, and how it influenced a whole generation of creatives. absolutely brilliant film and made me reconsider how i look at movies generally.
while we watched (2022) is the story of a ravish kumar, an indian news reporter trying to fight against the misinformation put out by the indian media and the pressure put on him by the government.
squaring the circle (2022) is a really fun documentary if youâre into your classic rock. all about the group that designed half of the famous album covers from that period, and the story behind the group and the art.
and lastly iâll say the sparks brothers (2021). just a brilliant display of how filmmaking can be used in a documentary. again, loads of fun, really beautiful shots, amazing lineup of interviewees. i hadnât even heard of sparks before watching this but i was a big fan by the end.

I have watched a couple music documentaries recently, ones on Arthur Russell and Judee Sill, and have enjoyed them. They are somewhat formulaic biopics so they arenât super hard to process but offer a lot of information on the artistry of a person I find interesting and their music plays in the background and it gets in my head! They are also usually pretty short so you can throw them on if you have a spare hour and a half.

This show is in no way underrated, in fact I think itâs perfectly rated. Fred and Bill are the twin sisters I never had. I just wanted to highlight some standout episodes. IN NO ORDER.

Wait in the line. Wait in the fucking line, talk to the cashier and make a joke. Hone your small talk. if we stop using the express checkouts they will shut em down. Theyâll give the cashiers more hours, more demand and more money. itâll result in them having more power. Talking shit about AI is easy but now itâs time to choose the people over the robots in person. In real life.

I think a lot of kids grow up with largely friends of their same gender. Thatâs the problem. Heteronormativity and seperating the genders in every aspect of life. sports, activities, friend groups. We condition men (and women!) to begin othering the opposite sex from birth. When in doubt, ungender it.

its really simple. You get a few lists: queue, completed, archived, paused. Thereâs no âfriendsâ, so no one will be able to see what youâre reading. Thereâs no âgoalsâ so you can just read for fun, at the speed you want. Your reviews are for you and you alone. If you want to track what you want to read and what youâve already read without feeling like youâre on social media, ItalicType is what you need.
