Let's Rock
Sep. 15th, 2021 11:19 pmOn Friday I went to the International Crane Foundation with a friend. This is basically a zoo, but it is all cranes, and it is focused on conservation. I was impressed by the commitment to accessibility: the paths are all flat and wide, and there are plenty of places to sit. We had a nice time looking at and learning about cranes.
Movies I watched:
Breaking Fast - Hulu
It is just so nice to see a movie that is about an observant Muslim gay man. Mo is living in West Hollywood and is one year post-breakup. He's reluctant to date again but meets Kal on the first night of Ramadan. Kal is a white guy but lived in Jordan when he was young, so knows Arabic. They break fast together and get to know each other over the course of the month. Just a nice romantic queer movie.
School of Rock - Netflix
I had very little memory of this movie, though I probably saw it in 2003 when it came out. What a good time! I love comedies like this that are warm and kind. Sometimes lying makes me anxious in movies, because I'm always waiting for the other shoe to drop; this is one of those where Jack Black's character is lying through most of the film. But it's so silly and the stakes are pretty low; when he's found out, it's not that big of a deal. Jack Black's physical comedy skills are impressive, and obviously he's passionate about music.
