I voted by mail last week.

Completely unrelated (pretty please?), this looks kinda interesting:

Vulture:  Emilia Pérez States Its Case Right Away

I paid even less attention to Cannes than usual this year, so if the splash this movie made there registered at all with me back in May, I had forgotten about it in the ensuing craziness of my summer.  Reviews have been sharply mixed, but I might check this out when it comes to Netflix next week.

(Assuming the world hasn't ended by then).

I voted two weeks ago. Colorado is a 100% vote-by-mail state. If one absolutely has to vote in person, one can find a polling place to accommodate them, but it's so much easier to vote by mail.

I am SO looking forward to watching Jeopardy! without all the campaign ads.

More soothing self-distraction:

NYT: All Hail the Theater Kid! (We Mean That Sincerely.)

I've always had difficulty with the use of "try-hard" as an epithet — perhaps because there are plenty of contexts in which it might fit me all too well.  (This forum, for instance, brings out my inner Rachel Berry to a fearsome degree).  Regardless, this article brought a mild warm-fuzzy to a dark day, so that was nice.


Mentioned in the article, in addition to Wicked and Emilia Perez:

The End – Official Trailer – In Theaters December 6

Not that I really want to think about doomsday scenarios today (of all days), but it does look interesting.  Plus, I mean, Tilda Swinton.
