phile 012: the golden globes got it right...mostly.
You can celebrate people's wins AND still hold the HFPA accountable.
visual philes.
Like many people whose personality consists of them sharing opinions and/or recommending movies and shows, I watched the Golden Globes on Tuesday night. I was delighted to see Angela Bassett and Ke Huy Quan win essentially back to back in the first hour without a doubt. I was equally delighted to see Quinta Brunson, Jeremy Allen White, Tyler James Williams and Zendaya win for their work in the TV world. I was also very much rooting for Michelle Yeoh when she told the “hurry up music” to shut up lol.
In terms of movies, there hasn’t been a large variety because I have started the Harry Potter movies and haven’t watched much else lol. I did see Glass Onion and thought it was awesome and I also saw Amsterdam and thought it was…entertaining overall. Anyway, I didn’t grow up watching the Harry Potter movies and before this I had only seen some of the first one and all of the last one. My next one is Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and Prisoner of Azkaban is my favorite so far!
audio philes.
If you follow me on Medium, you know I’ve started a challenge of listening to 100 albums this year. I think I naturally listen to around 50 per year so it seems I’ll just have to double that! January is somewhat of a lull in the music world for new releases so this works out well for time for this challenge/catch up on anything I missed in 2022. So far, redveil’s learn 2 swim album has been one I really loved on my initial listen as well as Leland Whitty’s Anyhow. The former is some of the most vulnerable and motivational music I’ve heard in a little bit with excellent jazzy self production with the latter being sonically wonderful instrumental jazz with a variety of influences and genre blending.
closing philes.
We’re halfway through January which means it’s time to reinforce whatever we committed to for this year/month. It also means it’s almost my birthday (which is on February 1st) and also almost time for the Super Bowl too. All I’m asking for this year is books so if you want to send me one you can here!
Have a great weekend and stay warm!
prisoner of azkaban supremacy! finally watched glass onion also, and seconded on all the POC wins at the golden globes.
