Movie notes - Dec 2017

Front Cover - 2015 - Netflix

A very well done movie about a gay fashion stylist, Ryan. He's American-born Chinese, and not at all proud of his heritage. His boss tells him to style Ning, a Chinese movie star who is trying to break into the US market. Ning will only work with someone Chinese. At first Ning seems homophobic, but it turns out that he is closeted. I really enjoyed this movie. Content note: Ryan has a few food issues.

Terminator Genisys

I had low expectations for this one, but I wanted to complete the set. I liked it better than I thought I would. I have a big soft spot for time travel films and stories. JK Simmons was the best part of this one-- he plays a minor character, a cop who has witnessed the robots and is trying to convince other people they exist. The film itself is kind of forgettable though.

I felt just terrible this morning. Half-awake, I decided I better email my doctor about my sinus infection. So I got up and did that, and took a shower, and continued to feel awful. I decided to skip volunteering today, and once I made that decision I almost immediately felt better. I reminded myself of one of Jesse's sayings-- even disabled people get sick days.

I read "The Facts of Life," a graphic memoir by Paula Knight, and absolutely loved it. A very thoughtful, wide-ranging book about infertility.
