Gonna go see Empire of Light sometime in the next couple weeks, but I am keeping my expectations low. I just love Olivia!! Also going to watch Emily the Criminal on Netflix - it's up for an Independent Spirit Award and I've heard good things. And I'm excited for Matilda, but I will probably wait for Netflix bc I know I am gonna cry cry.

We went to see White Noise earlier this week - it's in select theaters now, but will be on Netflix on December 30th. I knew it had mixed reviews out of Venice (and better reviews out of NYFF), and I'm not really an Adam Driver stan, but I thought it looked good. Well, I'm glad we went, because I loved it, and it will probably end up in my top 10 of the year! I can see how it's been divisive, though ( ... )

i read white noise a long time ago and loved it - i'm a bright eyes/conor oberst stan lol and one song namechecks don delillo so i went straight to the library when i heard it and checked out a bunch of his books. the last paragraph/line of white noise has stuck with me ever since i read it, it's really powerful imo. your thoughts on the film are really making me want to see it!

I am ALSO a Bright Eyes/Conor stan and "Don DeLillo, whiskey neat" pops into my head whenever I think of his name! lol. I'm so glad you liked the book, I am optimistic that I will, too.

omg yes! it's honestly one of my favourite song openings ever! btw right now i am wearing a t shirt i bought a month or so ago that says "conor oberst ruined my life" lol. i would definitely recommend the book and other don delillo stuff too - zero k is a newer work by him but i think it's really accessible and a good intro to his stuff!
