On January 28, the UBC Library hosted a virtual conversation with Dr. Robin Wall Kimmerer, in partnership with the Faculty of Forestry and the Simon K. Y. Lee Global Lounge and Resource Centre.
The event that was hosted in collaboration with the Black Student Union and was organized to highlight the “devastating history of racism and sexism at Canadian universities” and its relationship with “rape culture.”
No, it wasn’t the sound of Daphne or Simon twirling across the floor of a grand ballroom but Michelle Mares on piano and David Lakirovich on violin.
If this performance taught me anything, it’s that there is a power in memories, in nostalgia, and sometimes all it takes to relive those moments is a song.
If Tom Hooper wanted to considerably cut down the budget of his 100 million dollar movie he could have simply given them all name tags and called it a day.
Honestly, I’d be accepting of all of this if it wasn’t for the terrible dialogue. I never thought a Netflix movie could sound so bad.
I have finally come to terms with a fact that I’ve desperately tried to ignore for far too long: some of the storylines in Love Actually are absolute garbage.
I began to wonder why this film is categorized as a romantic comedy given the fact that there is a clear absence of both romance and comedy for the majority of its run time.
Now, in 2020, acknowledging Frosty’s menacing disappearance is more urgent than ever. The planet is our greenhouse and it is full of Hinkles.
From the flying reindeer to the red suit, coal, Christmas market, and even the milk and cookies, this story made sure to cover each base. Each tradition made its way into the film with no detail left spared, and each accompanied by a generous amount of comedy.
Overall, the film was cheesy and fun. However, the film fails to be “something revolutionary.”
However, upon actually granting the film my intent viewership, I would soon realize the fraudulence of my friend’s statement; in other words, he was full of shit. I’d been duped, people. With friends like these, who needs enemies?
If you’ve seen a Tim Burton movie, you might say the eerie and unusual nature of the films is better suited for a Halloween night. But I would argue that Edward Scissorhands is the best unusual holiday movie out there.
The plot, of course, has no possible analysis other than seeing it as the product of a twisted mind — screenwriter Daniel Meyer’s, to be exact.
