As someone who’s not “up” on the lingo of cultural critique, I love how well you manage to blend that lingo in with—you know, real words—to capture and communicate the essence of creativity.

Watching the clip you included, I sighed with relief once again that although I was never in any in-crowd or click, watching those phenomena from outside of them gave me a sense of perspective I might not otherwise have gained. And what I saw made me glad I was not on the inside of any of it. Even so, I could feel Muriel’s angst, her despair; so now I want to see the whole film.
After the controlled chaos of having seven people for T-Day dinner (remember Thanksgiving, you world-traveler you?), hubby retired early and I watched Muriel/Mariel. The trope of getting what you thought you wanted and ending up with something different that turned to be better is something I like to weave into my own stories, so I enjoyed that aspect. I usually find Australian products to be just zany enough to be fun, and this was no exception. I could have done with a little less coverage of her family, though; that seemed overdone, though maybe it's an Aussie thing (?). Anyway, thanks for the recommendation. Enjoy your next home!

Thank you.
You're welcome. LOL

Wonderful! Glad you enjoyed it.
You may be right about too much of the family.
