Ha, as you know I am on the 2/10 end of the Materialists spectrum. I am thoroughly enjoying the hot takes whether positive or negative. It's fascinating when something is this divisive, and I love to hear all reactions. People love it or hate it--nothing in between. Loved all the fashion, and despite Dakota Johnson's lack of acting ability (how did she not inherit any charisma from her dad), she is somehow a likable human.
This was an interesting take this week--referencing Weezer's panned second album which is now viewed as a masterpiece. https://open.substack.com/pub/annagoldfarb/p/the-unbeatable-power-a-flexible-mindset?r=7akzb&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false
I also think when you go into a movie where people are saying "This is terrible" then you're like "no it wasn't." Or like when I finally saw "The Sixth Sense" late in the game I was like "meh." Expectations can make or break a movie.
Michelle I had to look up reviews to feel VALIDATION. Like when you read a book and it's really not good but everyone loves it, and you're confused and full of self doubt. Does anyone else feel this way? Is there something wrong with me? Or maybe I'm a contrarian? Of I just have no taste or standards.
Have a lovely (work() trip Katie! I'v never been to Philly.
