Movie Talk.
Some 1930s Vittorio De Sica as actor movies. Amazon. These are charming rom coms. Can recommend. :)
La Terra Trema. Amazon. Saddest movie about hopelessness I've ever seen.
Mini at home Sam Rockwell Festival. Makes acting look easy. Not always fun but always good.
A Bridge Too Far with commentary. I can really recommend this. I'd seen it a few times already but the commentary gave me wider understanding of the movie's place in recording WWII, about indie productions and how much work it is.
( side note, i see the failed military operation as a practice for d day, they were able to see where the needed to improve operations )
It's been a heck of an unproductive day. Been trying to make myself do paperwork things, and none of that is getting done with any sort of functional progress at all. It is a little frustrating in its own way, since it's something that I've been struggling with for ages with, but also can't seem to be able to get any help with at all, which makes it particularly bothersome, since it does feel like being stuck in the gap between being able to get help because you're obviously and clearly struggling, or not need help at all.
Anyone got a tip to try and help with things, or at least, a pet to try and distract myself with?
