When I noticed The Mirror Has Two Faces had become available on a streaming platform, my watch list promptly got longer. It’s a nineties rom-com with brightly lit photography, the female protagonist is played by Barbra Streisand, who has made some great music. What’s not to like?
Since I spent the weekend revisiting some of the 2000s culture, and with the recent release of The Umbrella Academy fourth and final season, I started Monday eager for some My Chemical Romance. More specifically, for their glorious farewell, Danger Days. Its singer, Gerard Way, wrote the comics whose Netflix series is based upon.
On Friday, a friend told me about a film script he’d written eight years ago. He wanted me to give it a look, so that we could discuss its narrative development. When I saw it was 150-page long, I thought it would take me way longer than an afternoon to finish it. Boy, was I wrong. I read it all on a whim, despite my literary hungover of late.
