It had always been in my plan to watch The Dissident (directed by: Bryan Fogel) about the murder of Jamal Khashoggi but I have to admit when I heard about it’s trouble finding distribution, that Netflix (among others) wouldn’t touch it I was even more set on it.
For the $20 is was still more than worth a rental.
The Social Dilemma
Netflix
So I watched this documentary on the problematic (to put it lightly) nature of social media a couple of weeks ago and I wasn’t going to talk about it because I’m crazy bias. I think social media has become an absolute disaster for pretty much everything.
I’m not going to say it doesn’t have good sides like keeping families in touch but the bad at this point is outweighing it.
Today’s Top 10 Tuesday is all about characters I’d follow on social media. I actually did this for a top 10 before and looking back was nicely surprised I had all new characters.
Every now and again I tell myself I’m going to actually use Twitter correctly connect with people do all the stuff its there to do.
I open it. I retweet stuff. I like stuff but I’ve come to the conclusion that I have utter and complete Twitter Block.
Trainwreck
By: Sady Doyle
Grade: B
I admit I love Hollywood and I’m fascinated separately by the way the media portrays women period, not just famous women. Also by the way fandoms react to certain characters as opposed to male characters (relevant but the book only concerns real women.) So I really enjoyed Trainwreck.
Sabrina
By: Nick Drnaso
Grade: C-
I leapt at reading Sabrina when I saw it was the first graphic novel ever on the Man Booker Award list. I love graphic novels and the subject matter- about a missing woman and the effects the media and social media have on the family and the story- well, it’s something that very much has interested me lately.
the takedown

Grade: A-
“I’ll warn you in advance. You’re probably not gonna like me.”
I actually did like Kyla Cheng quiet a bit. Yes, she’s not the nicest person in high school perhaps but she’s smart, focused, ambitious and driven. Unfortunately for her that all goes to crap when a sex tape of her with her English teacher hits the web and no one believes Kyle (nickname) when she says its not her.
