Donna Tartt: The Little Friend

Her books don't bore me, but they are boring.

i watched the movie last week (having not read the book, mind), its not terrible, tho has several overt oscar-bait flourishes as one would expect

As the read the book I kept thinking of how the movie might be, and I hypothesized it would be similar in vibe to a Wes Anderson movie. Is that at all close?

nah

ok I made myself watch the Goldfinch movie last night and while I thought the first half was alright, the last third is terrible, and overall the movie just ditches the thing that made the book interesting to me, which was it's examination on grief and why he held on to that painting to begin with. what a mess.

also kid who played young theodore is the nephew of someone I went to elementary and middle school with, who I still occasionally talk to. so weird.

omg did not expect Sarah Paulson and Luke Wilson
