Posted on February 16, 2016 by reelentropy

It’s the most cynical thing in the world. Former Oscar winners? Check. Based on a true story set in the early 1900s? Check. Gay* person that dies? Check. The Danish Girl was set up to be one of the most insufferably … Continue reading →

Pixels is tolerable, not great, everybody calm down
