I think this made my top-3 Wes Anderson movies after a couple of recent films that were very Wes Andersonny but didn't really do a lot for me (it's possible I'm selling Isle of Dogs and The French Dispatch short).
But Asteroid City actually used its framing devices (the story of a play's production) to great effect. In the end it's about being a parent and not knowing what you're doing or why, but keeping on doing it anyway. The form (of life, and the movie, and the play the movie is about) itself has meaning. Maybe it just hit me the right way at the right time, but I loved it immensely.I think this made my top-3 Wes Anderson movies after a couple of recent films that were very Wes Andersonny but didn't really do a lot for me (it's possible I'm selling Isle of Dogs and The French Dispatch short).

I loved the pacing of this movie, especially in the initial stages. The portrayal of bureaucracy and moving meetings to other rooms, combined with the rapidity of the cutting was awesome. I also really enjoyed the "human in a suit" style of monster, although the initial version we see coming out of the water confused the heck out of me; I assumed it would be the creature Gojira would face later, rather than becoming it. All in all, a really good monster movie. Highly recommended.I loved the pacing of this movie, especially in the initial stages.

Paper Girls is about a group of girls who are delivering newspapers (remember them?) the night after Halloween in 1988. They deal with post-trick-or-treating teenagers and then some weirder folk. And then the dinosaurs attack. And then a bunch of stuff happens involving space capsules, gunshots, Apple devices and the end of the entire planet. It's awesome.
Reading it as one big story really helps keep it all together, because as often happens in time travel stories (I don't think that's a spoiler) there is a lot going on. I'd say the biggest theme throughout is trust, and what happens when you can't give it, and the great things that can happen when you can trust in a friend. If you love Stranger Things, this would be an excellent read.Paper Girls is about a group of girls who are delivering newspapers (remember them?) the night after Halloween in 1988.

Perfect for spooky season, The Salt Grows Heavy is a story of three nights spent in a desolate wasteland with a monster. A monster who's correct and justified and does monstrous things to even worse monsters in the name of revenge.
I loved this but like every Khaw book I've read, I have to use the word visceral in the description. If you don't like gore and things being done to bodies made of meat, stay away.Perfect for spooky season, The Salt Grows Heavy is a story of three nights spent in a desolate wasteland with a monster.
