Beautiful Boy

I now know that some of you guys have strong feelings about Timothee Chalamet, so I do apologize, but I just watched Beautiful Boy starring Chalamet and I quite enjoyed it. I am a huge sad movie/ show enjoyer, so this was kind of right up my alley. This film is about Nic Sheff who becomes addicted to drugs in his teens, mainly meth. It follows Nic and his dad/ family as he becomes more and more helpless. It is incredibly sad watching him relapse over and over. His dad tries to help him again and again just to finally realize that he can’t help his son. The most heartbreaking part for me was watching the little siblings wonder where Nic was and why he couldn’t come home. This film is based on a true story of a father and son who have written their own memoirs about addiction and struggling with drugs.

    Timothee Chalamet aside, I think this film is amazing. Not only is the acting great, but the storyline is one that I haven't really ever seen before! It told a story that I think is relatable for a lot of people and can make them feel seen and understood.

    this film has stayed one of my favorites since it released!! the portrayal of addiction and timothees acting really showed how emotional it can be to go through such a hard addiction/relapse as well. it definitely makes me cry every time i still watch it.

    While I don't necessarily love Timothee Chalamet, I do think he has some great movies out there! I have previously heard of this film and really loved the concept and what it covered. It has definitely been on my to-watchlist for a very long time and after reading your post I think I may actually try and watch it!

A Heated Rivalry or Wicked Misogyny?

Image
 As someone who may hold bias to the extent that I refuse to watch Heated Rivalry, I think it's important to state that I've seen a couple of episodes, and the show just isn't for me. I've also watched both the Wicked movies starring Cynthia Erivo and Arianna Grande. Now you are probably wondering what these two media films have in common. Well, nothing to be exact, and I think that's the preface we must state first.  This isn't about the series/movies, it's about the co-stars, but first, here's a little context you may need to understand where I am coming from. Arianna Grande plays in the musical adaptation of Wicked and Wicked for Good, directed by Jon M. Chu. She takes on the role of playing Galina (Galinda the Good), she is a very privileged and self-absorbed young woman who attends Shiz University and ends up facing an internal battle of being for the people or wanting her personal desire to keep her bond with Elphaba. Elphaba Thropp (The Wicked Wit...

Intro/Post-Grad Plans!

Hi everyone, My name is Emily Webb, and I’m from Frederick, Maryland. I am a senior majoring in Digital Culture & Design with a double minor in Graphic Design and Social Media. I am currently finishing up my applications for Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) programs in Technology Education or Art Education. My goal is to become a secondary teacher for digital arts courses. I am excited about combining my love for digital media with teaching and helping students develop both creative and technical skills. Outside of school, I enjoy crafting with my Cricut. I love designing projects and bringing them to life by pressing my designs onto clothes and other items. Creating something tangible from a digital idea is really rewarding. I’m looking forward to connecting with all of you, sharing ideas, and learning from your experiences this semester!  If you’re a senior, what are your post-grad plans (I know, the dreaded question), and if you’re not, what are you hoping to do after gradua...
