Bonus Post
Monday, February 17, 2020 at 11:44AM OK, I wanted to give myself a reprieve from writing about the unending trauma that the president is inflicting upon this country. So I decided to write a poem. The only problem is that I am not a poet. The solution? Construct a “found” poem from existing sources. So here it is:
Poem consisting of the headlines of IMDB user reviews, covering the last 10 movies I saw
Book me a flight!
Raw, rude, and raucously entertaining.
A love story with a kick in the gut, anyone?
I lived a version of this, and it hurt.
An encounter with a kindred soul. Or a beast.
I liked it for a while, but then it became ridiculous.
Beating up the guy in the diner is where it went bad.
Be warned: although inspired by a true story, this is very far from the truth.
I didn't lose something or win for an hour and half.
Stop it. Please just stop.
(here are the reviewed movies, in order)
French Kiss
Dolemite Is My Name
Film Stars Don’t Die in Liverpool
Marriage Story
Beast
Crawl
The Irishman
Red Joan
I Lost My Body
