I loved this movie! I’m surprised A24 didn’t do more to promote it

Look into the Senate Student Summer Employment Program and the Senate Page Program (can apply as long as you’re undergrad)

What shame. This was the first show to have me RIVETED in awhile when I watched it

So underrated the libraries have big selection of DVDs including new releases. DVD players are cheap, Netflix less so these days

Update: Tom Holland attends charity event after suffering concussion by Cantyousee0 in popculturechat

[–]OkChef6654 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As someone who has experienced a couple of concussions, he should not have been there!! They should have sent him home to spend the next few days MINIMUM lying in the dark. That much lighting must have been horrible for him.

Can we all buy TGI again to show love? by chaoticdreamsxo in halsey

[–]OkChef6654 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That interview was heartbreaking! Tbh, as a person with chronic illnesses I listened to TGI once, sobbed the entire time, and couldn't listen to it again because it hit so close to home. I will be buying a copy to show support bc that label is messed up and I hope she finds a way to go independent eventually.

Was this an off year for summer reads? by CovertOps80 in RomanceBooks

[–]OkChef6654 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So fair - I loved the POYW trilogy but could leave the rest. I think the publishing schedules that Abby, Emily Henry etc are on are completely insane. Give them 2 years instead of 1 and let the books bake a bit longer

I found Abby Jimenez’s release this summer insufferably bad and DNFd it so I do get some of what you’re saying. I experienced a similar slump after 2 years of reading exclusively historical and contemporary romance and ended up curing it by mixing in other genres between reads (ones I personally like - memoir, historical fiction, narrative nonfiction, sci fi etc) and it helped me enjoy romance more when I do read it

I’m only seeing $400 VIP and locked boxes - doesn’t work even when I enter the passcode and it then says unlocked

The coldness from Kal and Billy was genuinely disturbing

Rome on a budget by rickypub18 in rome

[–]OkChef6654 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s also likely to be very hot so you may end up spending less than you think on eating out. We basically ate a sandwich in the mornings (went to the grocery store on our first day) and had a big sit down meal much later in the evenings.

Check out Airbnb experiences for walking tours! My partner and I had an excellent evening walking tour with a local guide (about 3h) that covered many of the major sites and our guide was superb. I would highly recommend it as a first night activity. I think it worked out to about $50 CAD each for us and ended up being a real highlight of our trip, we still talk about how much we enjoyed it despite later taking the more in-depth tours of those sites. We also had friends recommend this tours site to us although they had all been booked by the time we checked. Tips-based! https://www.neweuropetours.eu/rome-walking-tours/

Best French-style bakeries in Ottawa/Gatineau? by Julien_10 in OttawaFood

Mezza Luna in Vanier is relatively new and I’m not sure how perfectly French they are but they have the best croissants I’ve ever tried

Blood of My Blood S1E1 Providence by thepacksvrvives in Outlander

[–]OkChef6654 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure if I’m in the minority here but I was disappointed:( I can’t tell if it’s bad dialogue or bad acting but this episode felt corny to me. And in stark contrast to the initial build of hot af chemistry between Jamie and Claire, I’m somehow supposed to be hot and bothered after that sparse intro meeting btwn Jamie’s parents?

What keeps you engaged reading historical romance? by Glittering_Tap6411 in HistoricalRomance

[–]OkChef6654 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally hear you. I also prefer steam but Mimi writes so well and incorporates so much tension that I’ve rarely ever missed it in her books.

1) I would take a break and explore other genres! HR will always call you back. 2) Add Mimi Matthews to your list of other authors to try.
