4 friends, 3 families, 2 suicides & 1 town. "Bad Town Kids" is a coming of age tale in a simpler pre-internet era, when growing up was still as hard. Get a copy 📘 US- amzn.to/352Wi0O India- amzn.to/3aCQsam #WritingCommunity #books #BookTwitter #read #writerslift
'Uppu Kappurambu' is an entertaining spin on village politics and superstition, as Keerthy Suresh’s Apoorva tackles the 'grave' problem of a full cemetery. The eccentric plot & characters make it a fun watch. abstractaf.in/uppu-kappuramb… #movies #UppuKappuRambu
Binge-watched 'Leviathan' and loved its alternate sci-fi fantasy retelling of the first world war through two teens aboard a massive flying whale-ship. The birds dropping bombs had me 😂😂 Recommend! abstractaf.in/leviathan-seri… #leviathan #leviathananime #anime #netflix
Set in a flood-ravaged city divided by wealth and power, 'No Saints Nor Poets' follows con artist Flynn & Pierre as they take on a mysterious delivery job. An entertainingly energetic first issue by @YoZanfardino & @afterlaughs ! abstractaf.in/no-saints-nor-… #comics #bookreview #art
Alternate movie description for Korean film 'Wall to Wall': Desperate, broke office worker getting screwed over by low phone battery & shitty insane neighbors. abstractaf.in/wall-to-wall-f… #walltowall #movies #moviereview
'I am a creep, I am a weirdo' is Heretic's soul song. This horror film has the right amount of creeps! Two young missionaries (Sophie Thatcher & Chloe East) are terrified by an old wacko (Hugh Grant) who traps them in his eerie home. abstractaf.in/heretic-movie-… #horror #heretic
First Yoshiki was crying. Then Hikaru was crying. Then some of us were crying. #thesummerhikarudied
This is how modern re-imaginings of mythical stories should be: light on the mind through the journey but tugging at the heart towards the climax. Song of Achilles by Madelline Miller is a breeze. abstractaf.in/the-song-of-ac… #thesongofachilles #bookreview #books #WritingCommmunity
Content with giving up on 'The Summer I turned Pretty' after season one.
'The Summer Hikaru Died' is surely turning into a treat for slowburn psychological horror fans. Yet another creepy, haunting episode: Episode 2 sees Yoshiki get closer to the entity pretending to be his dead best-friend. abstractaf.in/the-summer-hik… #thesummerhikarudied #sundayvibes
'India After Gandhi' by Ramachandra Guha is an exhaustive look at India's political history, documenting the challenges of post-1947 India. abstractaf.in/india-after-ga… #books #history #IndiaAfterGandhi #bookreview #readingworld #WritingCommunity
'Aap Jaisa Koi' koi has a great start: it cutesy, funny, engaging. Madhavan & Sana click. Then the film relies on characters who don't get enough space to push the climax. A decent 1 time watch. abstractaf.in/aap-jaisa-koi-… #AapJaisaKoi #AapJaisaKoiOnNetflix #AapJaisaKoireview
"Tether" (2025) explores the emotional aftermath of a school shooting, focusing on two grieving men, one a father, the other a failed protector, linked by trauma and therapy. abstractaf.in/tether-movie-r… #tether #movies #moviereview #schoolshooting #drama #film
In Issue #4 of Alienated, TJ teams up with his grandkids to recover a missing alien, while an obsessed old man attempts to go public with his alien discovery. abstractaf.in/alienated-4-re… #alienated #kindleunlimited #books #comics #blog #bookreview #writing #reading #booktwt
Going to wait for another episode to drop before I write a longer review for 'Gachiakuta'. But it's off to a great start 💥 The animation might not be fancy or glossy, but it's gritty enough for its dystopian 'the privileged vs oppressed' plot. #GACHIAKUTA #anime #Crunchyroll
3 episodes down & I am still on the fence about 'Lord of Mysteries'. The animation looks great in parts but it's also like watching someone else play a game (which isn't always fun). abstractaf.in/lord-of-myster… #LordOfMysteries #animation #art #anime
In this episode of Good Boy, Park Bo-gum’s Dong-ju faces brutal consequences after taking on villain Min Joo-Yeong! Things are heating up towards the finale. abstractaf.in/good-boy-episo… #goodboy #goodboyep12 #kdrama #parkbogum #entertainment #goodboyonprime
Who else is getting Bollywood's 'Kal Ho Na' vibes with Dong-ju's failing health in 'Good Boy'? Won't be surprised if he dies in the end and Han-na ends up with the wealthier Jong-hyeon. The bromance & romance is there. #GoodBoyEp12 #goodboy #goodboyonprime #parkbogum #kdrama
