Five for the Weekend

Scarlett Johansson in Lost in Translation

A brief weekly round-up of some things that are good.

Rose Byrne got a much-deserved Oscar nomination for her work in If I Had Legs I'd Kick You, I film I greatly admired and never want to see again.

I re-watched Lost in Translation a couple weeks ago and was reminded of how much I like the soundtrack. Leave it Sofia Coppola to turn "Just Like Honey" into a song you can sob to.

I know it's been circulating for awhile, but I will never tire of this video compilation of ICE agents falling on their fascist keisters in the frozen streets of Minneapolis.

Quite Literally Books, a new-ish women-owned indie press that reissues out-of-print books by American women authors. Their cover designs, not incidentally, are gorgeous.

I made Hetty Lui McKinnon's mushroom stroganoff twice in one week, and it is now my official winter emotional-support food.
