"I really believe in the liberating and humanizing power of cinema. I believe that images and ideas that are carried by stories can have the power to strike you in your solar plexus, and really change your mind. I think the frequency can be spread with a little drop in the ocean with a film can really have a big, big power." Filmmaker Alejandro Inarritu

Sewing for Summer Sleepovers

I know I had several dreams last night but I woke up so abruptly, I did not have a chance to mull over them so now...they have faded back into my subconscious. Ah, well. The ones I need to hold onto are the ones that I will remember. Like these:

Always running to school. At first, I was in high school and was being told that I might not graduate because I failed social studies. Then, I was allowed to graduate as long as I took a social studies class that summer.

Haha. That made total sense to me because while I am a very social person by nature, I have not been social for years due to my family needs. (Plus, I just prefer hanging out with my family.) I do need and miss friends though.

Later, my school dreams were in a college/university setting so I must be making progress! But, I was always late so maybe not as much progress as I hope.

That's right -- it's happening all over the world. Are you going to join in?

Phoebe Waller-Bridge is one of the screenwriters for the latest James Bond film, due in 2020. Speaking on the depiction of women in the Bond film, Waller-Bridge said “There’s been a lot of talk about whether or not [the Bond franchise] is relevant now because of who he is and the way he treats women... I think he’s absolutely relevant now. It has just got to grow. It has just got to evolve, and the important thing is that the film treats the women properly. He doesn’t have to. He needs to be true to this character.”

The actresses starring in "Bond 25" are Lea Seydoux, Ana de Armas, Lashana Lynch, and Naomie Harris.
