Now I’m not going to post a photo or anything, but let me tell you about my personal style. Haircut and wardrobe and whatnot. I can summarize it easily. If you saw me, you’d think, “Look at this Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood motherfucker.” Beige is, unironically, one of my favourite colours.
"I think there’s an artistry to depicting the mundane and the merely pleasant." Weirdly, this reminds me of the scene from COBRA (yes, the Stallone movie), where we simply watch the main character eat a slice of pizza in his own unique way. As much fun as it was to watch that film for its action, it was that small moment with Stallone cutting himself a slice of pizza that resonated with me most.
I agree with your sentiment of "calm". I much prefer that to the hustle and bustle (and yes, sometimes violence) that so many people seem to prefer. Give me a good book and a quiet place, and I'm quite happy.
Really enjoyed your thoughts on what you’ve enjoyed and what you hope for the year ahead. I haven’t seen I Love Movies but I’m very glad it’s on my radar now. Like you, I was 17ish in a suburban Ontario town. This feels too close to home not to watch.
