I love movies. I really love movies in
the theater, too. Yeah, they’ve gotten expensive, but I’m lucky that my local
theaters do $5 Tuesday showings. Yay! Cheap movies! There’s a pretty excellent
crop coming up too.
Lights Out. I love scary movies, and
more than half of my love is because I am such an easy mark. I jump like you
wouldn’t believe. I climb up my friends’ arms to get away from the creepy
things. I gasp. I’m such a dope. It’s makes them so exciting! I can’t wait for
Lights Out, which seems to be completely wrapped around jump scares.
Kong: Skull Island. I hadn’t even known
this one was in production, so when the ComicCon trailer debuted, I was
surprised. When Tom Hiddleston appeared on screen, I was elated. I squeaked. It
was a noise that I couldn’t recreate if I even tried, but I’m told it was
pretty cute. The rest of the movie looks pretty good too.
Wonder Woman. Another trailer to come
out of ComicCon. Wonder Woman hasn’t been my favorite comic book character
historically. I kind of don’t like the way she always gets wrapped up in her
own lasso. It takes her power away – both literally and figuratively. This
trailer goes a long, long way toward convincing me though. Gal Gadot is
mesmerizing and Chris Pine is both charming and obviously the side kick. Looks
awesome.
Tallulah. This one is more on the
emotional spectrum. I have a major crush on Ellen Page; she’s completely my
type. She’s also an immensely talented actress, so I feel like she’s going to
give a complicated portrayal of Tallulah’s search for family. Plus “searching
for a place to belong” is a major theme of my books. In Far From Home (my newest book, the first in the Belladonna Ink
series) Pari is looking for a green card and at first Rachel thinks they can be
just friends who happen to be married to each other until Rachel’s craving to
be perfect threatens to destroy everything. Tallulah doesn’t seem to have the
same need to be perfect, but she’s certainly looking for somewhere to belong. I
hope she finds it.
About
Far From Home
My name is Rachel.
I’m straight . . . I think. I also have a mountain of student loans and a smart
mouth. I wasn’t serious when I told Pari Sadashiv I’d marry her. It was only
party banter! Except Pari needs a green card, and she’s willing to give me a
breather from drowning in debt.
My off-the-cuff
idea might not be so terrible. We get along as friends. She’s really romantically cautious, which I find
heartbreaking. She deserves someone to laugh with. She’s kind. And calm. And
gorgeous. A couple of years with her actually sounds pretty good. If some of
Pari’s kindness and calm rubs off on me, that’d be a bonus, because I’m a
mess—anorexia is not a pretty word—and my little ways of keeping control of
myself, of the world, aren’t working anymore.
And if I slip up,
Pari will see my cracks. Then I’ll crack. Which means I gotta get out, quick, before I
fall in love with my wife.
