Right now, I'm blasting through the U2 playlist (yet again). It has almost become a daily ritual. As my ears are engaged, I decided to log and then I'll proceed to watch the freshly torrented movie "The Breakfast Club".
I'm on his John Hughes' watching spree who was so prominently referenced in the ill-fated book "Ready Player Two" (god, this book sucks). I already watched "Some Kind of Wonderful" in lieu of Pretty in Pink just because it has a better title. Besides, Breakfast Club is IMDb 7.8 which is more than enough incentive for me to watch it. I have a strict >7 criteria to weed bs out of my watch list and protect my brain from cringe overload.
I loved Some Kind of Wonderful though. The opening scene montage was itself exhilarating. Keith playing coyly with the train, Watts drumming away against that music track. It was different and different is what I like. And oh god, the tension and conflict between Keith and his dad is so familiar to me. I almost felt I was looking at my dad. Snobby, miser, always imposing and wholly insensitive. Hughes did a fine job. Ah, and the love subplot was very well written too.
I have been sick for three days. I'm better now. Fever and cough. I don't think it's covid but I have lost taste so might be. Mom is kinda worried which is justified.
Studies are going pretty shitty. Now I'm so confused I don't know. There is a second wave here and we have final exams in a week. I'm depressed.
Bye.
