Since my last movie roundup, I have watched six movies. In the interest of keeping things fresh, I’m going to switch up how I present the movies in each post. Today, I’m going to list the movies first and then give you which I rated highest, lowest, and which movie is smack dab in ‘meh’ territory.
Behold, the movies:
Primate Rage (2018)
Final Girl (2015)
Twisters (2024)
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1912) (Will not be included since it has a separate post)
Playdate (2025)
Tinsel Town (2025)
Let’s start with ‘meh’
Playdate (2025)
First of all….listen, I don’t ogle too often. Ogling is not usually in my wheelhouse. I am, however, human. So…
I don’t know who Alan Ritchson is. I have never seen this person before watching this movie. I am most happy that I was introduced, though. Okay, Playdate.
There is nothing about this movie to love, but I didn’t hate it either.
Things happened. A lot of action. It was fast-moving. There was some light laughter. The problem is that the storyline itself is ridiculous. Mainly the cloning portion of the story. I feel this could have worked better if that aspect had been axed and, in its place, something more grounded had been included. A heist. A bad soldier gone good and now the unreformed soldiers are trying to silence him before he leaks secrets. Would it have been covering new ground? Nope. Would it have been less jarring? Yes.
In the last ten years where I haven’t watched too many films, this has popped up numerous times on the few occasions I did feel like watching a movie. I have always skipped over it. This time, when it came up, I decided to give it a go. This is intriguing. The premise is strong. So strong that I found myself wanting to know the backstory of pretty much everything. Yet, while this is absolutely my highest-rated film of the six, it could have been so much better if the writers and/or filmmakers had filled in those blanks. As it stands, this is worth a watch. Gotta love Abigail Breslin and Wes Bentley. The other actors? Also kind of superb to be honest!
Let me just start by saying that I love Kiefer Sutherland. I have always loved Kiefer Sutherland.
The Lost Boys
Stand by Me
The Three Musketeers
24
Flatliners
Freeway
He’s handsome and so fucking talented that it hurts. I sort of just want to marry him.
It is with love that I say, I hope he never does anything like this again.
I’m not saying that he only has to play broody or villainous characters. Absolutely not. But this? This was a choice.
It’s not the worst movie I’ve ever watched. Not at all. However, it felt all over the place. It felt incomplete. It felt like everyone was uncomfortable in their roles. I’m so sorry, my love. Kiefer. Don’t leave me.
Here is the thing about depression: while there are commonalities in the way it appears in each person, no one experiences depression the same way. It’s an individual thing that just so happens to present itself in many ways. Two people can experience fatigue thanks to the disorder, but between the same two people, one may struggle to get out of bed while the other can go through the motions only with a healthy dose of anger lingering with them through their daily life. As someone who has battled depression (and anxiety) for quite some time, nights like this are amusing. Yes, I said amusing (and maybe a little distressing).
Tonight, I am dwelling. Dwelling is one of my depression features.
What this looks like tonight:
I got new glasses about a week ago, and they are cutting into the bridge of my nose. That part of my nose is now red and the skin is starting to peel a little. Yes, I purchased pads to stick to that part of my glasses, but the damage has been done. Realistically, I know that it’ll eventually (maybe) heal as long as I keep the pad in place. My illogical brain can’t stop thinking about the gross red mark and the skin that rubbed off. This leaves me wanting to rub and scratch which will inevitably make it worse. So, I dwell.
Tonight, I feel dirty. Not the fun kind of dirty, but the kind of dirty where I have convinced myself that I haven’t thoroughly showered recently (I have), that I smell foul (I don’t, I hope), and that even if I went in and took a shower at this very moment, I would emerge from the bathroom still feeling like hot garbage. So, I dwell.
I feel generally overwhelmed. There is nothing pressing going on at the moment. I am sitting here typing. I have YouTube on, shuffling between listening to people talk about books, watching movie reviews, and playing games. There is no reason why I should feel like chaos is surrounding me, but that is the way I feel. I’m stuck between wanting to do something productive so I can feel I accomplished something and wanting to close my door and hope that I don’t have to do anything at all for the rest of the weekend. So, I dwell.
Have you ever had to speak or perform in front of a large group of people? You know that feeling of anxiety that plants itself in the pit of your stomach, that feeling that gets worse and worse the closer you get to having to step foot on stage and address the crowd? I get that feeling often. I get that feeling when I’m lying in bed trying to sleep. I get that feeling when I’m just enjoying a movie. There is no rhyme or reason to it. I’ll be fine one moment, then, all of a sudden, I feel fearful of the invisible crowd I don’t even have to entertain. What’s wrong with me? I dwell.
I’m not sharing this information to throw myself a pity party (though if you wanna buy me a gift, I’m down).
Someone else out there is feeling a certain kind of way tonight. Their depression is on full display, or maybe they are fighting a silent battle. Someone. I don’t know who, but someone.
Because I love books more than most people, I feel it is my duty to inform the masses of where they can purchase their own. You think this would be cut-and-dried, yes? My friends, there is much for me to teach you. There are a lot of places one might acquire their own little slices of pure addiction. Physical locations and online. Since the list is a little on the longer side, I’m going to start with physical locations where you can obtain your new favorite story!
Wonders never cease, right? Listen, dearies, go to your local library and get yourself a library card. It’s free! You can check out books and movies. You can utilize their computers. You can ask a librarian for some help on resources in your community. This is a free resource for you to use! Into literary fiction? They got it. Want to make yourself paranoid at 2 a.m. on a Tuesday? They have a thriller section! Have an urge to watch Adam Sandler in The Waterboy? I mean, they may have it there to borrow, I dunno. Not only that, if you are interested in meeting new people, your library may host social, community/support, and special-interest groups. This is fabulous! Why are you still reading this? Go to the library. NO! No. No. Wait. Sit down. You go after. We good? Good.
Where I am located, I don’t have a convenient indie bookstore to go to. I do, however, have a local used bookstore that I frequent multiple times a month! The great aspect about visiting indie or used is that you’re supporting a local business as opposed to the big chain stores. In my case, I take books over to my local store and obtain credit. With that credit, I can always find something that I am interested in. Lately, I have been finding more and more recent and popular books on the cheap. Let’s just say I have a lot more rom-coms thanks to my local used-book store. They are a great way to save both money and some trees! The downside is that the supply at a used bookstore can be iffy. For instance, I don’t keep mass market paperbacks and there are a lot of those at my store! Also, there can be lulls in what kinds of books come through. Looking for Stephen King? You may be waiting awhile. Fantasy? Those may be slow to stock up, too!
As for Indie bookstores, they do tend to be a little more expensive, and they, too, can be very niche depending on who the owner is! However, if you happen to live near one, I recommend going and supporting that business! You may just walk out of there with a little-known gem that’ll become your new favorite everything.
We all knew this one was coming! In the land of books, Barnes & Noble is kind of a big deal. Here is what I will say, friends. They are expensive. I can’t even sugarcoat it. Yes, they do have sales throughout the year. Yes, you can go into a store at any time and take a look at their buy 1, get 1 50% off. At the end of the day, though, they are expensive. I would recommend going when you have room in your budget because, expensive or not, I don’t want physical bookstores to become a thing of the past. There is just something magical about going into a bookstore. Now, B&N does offer a membership for those who are interested. That membership offers a discount on each purchase. Membership also gives you 1 stamp for every $10 dollars spent, and a $5 reward for every 10 stamps earned. If you are a frequent book buyer, you can let those rewards add up and make a purchase that may be worth it at the end of the year! Or whenever you decide to cash in, as those rewards don’t expire! There are also coupons to the cafe that come with each purchase.
That being said, no one would blame you if you skip Barnes & Noble.
BAM! is another heavy hitter. When I first moved to Florida (did I mention I live in Florida? Well, there you go!), Books-A-Million used to be right down the road. I used to go there a lot more than B&N. Quite some time ago – oh, maybe about a little over 20 years ago – BAM! moved its location. It’s not terribly far away, but it is in a high traffic area (cars and people) and I ain’t about that life! That being said, the last time I was there, I couldn’t help but notice that they weren’t exactly inexpensive either. I mean, they gotta compete with Barnes, no? They even have their own membership program to include a percentage off purchases, free shipping on eligible items, and a birthday reward. Membership is cheaper than B&N currently ($25 compared to, I believe, $45 at Barnes). BAM! is also very good about having sale sections where the price of some books are greatly reduced. For real, you might go in and pick up a stack of books all priced below $10 each!
If you want the experience of walking through a bookstore but with some cheaper options, Books-A-Million might be the better option for you! If my house were closer to BAM! or if BAM! was not in the area it is (seriously, the area is chaos), I would probably visit this store more than Barnes.
To complete Part 1 of the physical locations you can visit to purchase books, let’s end with Target. Target. You can’t hear it, but I’m sighing right now! I’m not in love with Target. I’ve never been in love with Target. I know there are a lot people who swear by this store, but I have never seen the appeal. That said, I have visited Target enough to know they have a pretty healthy book section. At least, I think they still have a fairly healthy selection! I, admittedly, have not been there for maybe two or three years. From what I remember, there is a nice selection, and they do, in fact, have sporadic sales on books. A cheaper option than both B&N and Books-A-Million, but with a smaller selection by comparison. If you’re in there picking up toilet paper, Oreos, and pool noodles (no, really, what the fuck are you guys buying at Target?), swing by the book section and see what you can find!
That, my friends, is part 1 of the physical locations where bad choices are made.
Well, bad choices when it comes to buying too many books.
Unless you’re at Target. I’m assuming you’re making a few other bad purchasing choices there, as well. I don’t think you actually need all four of those Adirondack chairs, by the way.
Not judging. I am.
You do you. But not those chairs.
P.S. If you shop at Target, please don’t take offense! I’m only kidding, and I’m sure those chairs are going to look great on your deck. Please, don’t disinvite me from your barbecue. I’ll bring the dip.
I have way too many comfort movies. There is no way for me to list the many, many movies I have watched to the point of memorization. I swear, there is a button in my brain. When that button is activated, whatever is in my line of vision at the time will become my entire personality for an extended period. The last time that happened was circa 2023, when I watched the pro-shot of Heathers: The Musical. My ass still obsesses over it and listens to the music multiple times a week, at the expense of rarely listening to anything else. So when I say there are movies I know word for word, beat for beat? Someone could cast me in a shot-by-shot remake, and I wouldn’t have to memorize anything.
So, I’ll just give the top 10 (comfort) movies I have watched more than 5 times (and I should be cast in), in no particular order:
The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)
Night of the Demons (1988)
Halloween (1978)
Labyrinth (1986)
Valley Girl (1983)
The First Wives Club (1996)
Moulin Rouge (2001)
As Good as it Gets (1997)
A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)
Twister (1996)
Do I realize that some of my comfort movies are questionable?
Is it too soon to revisit our misguided friend Dr. Jekyll? I think it might be too soon. You see, I had expected to watch a different adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s novel, wait a week or two while I gathered my thoughts, and post something completely unrelated to this current project in the meantime. That was the plan! Earlier in the week, however, something struck me. It was a stray boot, and I still have a black eye. I should have ducked. Then something else struck me. A question – what is the earliest surviving adaptation of this particular story?
In this version, our good doctor and his bad side is played by James Cruze (and sometimes Hyde may be played by Harry Benham depending on who you ask). Directed by Lucius Henderson, this is supposedly based mostly on one of the earlier stage productions of the story.
To be frank (you can be Ethel), there isn’t much to review in this film. Apparently, while this is the earliest surviving film of Jekyll and Hyde, it’s not a complete version. What we have is, I guess, fragments of the film re-edited together to make some form of story. The said story is only approximately 12 minutes long and doesn’t even have title cards showcasing any dialogue. I mean, I had a good time inserting my own dialogue, but my version included a love story between a unicorn and a paperclip. It was really rather touching. It all happened off-screen.
So, given that this isn’t exactly a full-length film that I can just delve into, pull apart, and piece back together to get Frankenstein, let me just go over what elements remain the same.
Dr. Jekyll experiments and turns into Mr. Hyde.
Mr. Hyde continues to be a creep.
Mr. Hyde tramples over a child here, too. Jerk.
A murder is committed.
Dr. Jekyll still has no control over what is happening.
There is only one way this could have ended, as well.
Of course, still no explanation of why Jekyll decided this would be a good idea. I guess, just for funsies.
So, some of the roots are there, but at some point before this film, something else was planted because we have things that were definitely not in the source material.
Instead of my friend Utterson, we are introduced to the woman Dr. Jekyll is courting (hell, I don’t know the right word to use, so ‘courting’ it is) and her father.
Now, I don’t know what is missing from this film. According to Google, the demise of most of this movie was due to time. It just wasn’t preserved and so we will never get to see what the final product was or could have been.
I like to believe that somewhere in those lost scenes is my unicorn and paperclip love story.
Shut up, I can dream.
That being said, I’m trying to be kind to a movie that was lost with time and also a silent film, to boot, which is always difficult as an art form given how far film has come. So, the acting was over-the-top, but it had to be. Yet it was over-the-top in a not-great way. There was no title cards to be able to follow the story. That’s okay for someone like me who has read the book and has loved the story for many years. Yet, no title cards are not so great for those who may know nothing about this story. I kind of needed to have Utterson around, though I understand why a romantic interest would be introduced.
All in all, it’s not strong as it stands and that’s more sad than anything. I would have loved to see it in its entirety.
So, 3.5/10.
But, seriously, I need someone to write my unicorn and paperclip love story. Get on that.
Problem one: Why doesn’t Siemelle have a copy of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde?
Solution: Purchase Book.
Done.
Problem two: Siemelle owns 1.7 million books and may get distracted by all the pretty colors and the promise of all those enemies-to-lovers tropes.
Solution: Siemelle reminds herself that she is trying to write more this year and, since her mind is irrational, if she fails to follow the simple task of reading a book and writing about it on a blog she swore to not abandon, she is likely to fall into “loser” mode and catastrophize her entire life. Read the book.
Done.
Problem three: Now that said book has been read, what does she say about it that hasn’t already been said through literary papers, film, music, etc.?
So, I officially finished reading The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson about two weeks ago. In that time, I’ve been stewing over what I should say about it. The fact is, anyone can do a deep dive into this story and pull out better-written, literary dissections of the text as it relates to the obvious – Victorian society and repression. Clearly, that’s not who I am. So, I’m just going to give you a brief rundown of the story as I understood it.
The story’s narrator is…
…
…
…
…
Gabriel John Utterson.
I betcha you thought I was going to say Dr. Henry “Harry” Jekyll, didn’t you? I built it up with multiple ellipses and everything. It was very, “and the winner is…”, wasn’t it? Anyway, Mr. Utterson is a lawyer and a good friend of Dr. Jekyll. Mr. Utterson is more than a little worried about Henry because he recently wrote a will stipulating that all his assets and possessions should go to Mr. Edward Hyde.
Not only that, but there is a clause in the will where Jekyll details what should happen should he suddenly disappear. Disappear, you say? Surely there is something rotten in the state of Denmark! So, Mr. Utterson said, “Naw, bitch, something ain’t on the up and up”. He, being the good guy he is, decides he needs to investigate! Utterson and Jekyll have a mutual friend in Mr. Enfield, and they are out and about enjoying the city when Utterson asks, “What up with Hyde?” Mr. Enfield responds:
“He is not easy to describe. There is something wrong with his appearance; something displeasing, something downright detestable. I never saw a man I so disliked, and yet I scarce know why.”
This reminds me of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, in a way. If I am recalling correctly, there was a theme throughout Frankenstein that anyone who happened to come across Frankenstein’s creation was assaulted by a sense of something being… what? Inhuman, more than human, a combination of many humans? This same theme was seen in this text as well, but, in Hyde’s case, those who came across him alluded to dislike, fear, or as if there was something exuding from Hyde that was not “good”. Yes, Hyde is described as having an “impression of deformity without any nameable malformation” (an issue and discussion for another time), but it felt deeper than the physical (again, so many issues that I’ll expand upon in another post). Those who come across Hyde are immediately unsettled by him.
Make no mistake about it, though, they have every right to be fearful of Edward Hyde. The first story we hear centered around him, the guy damn near tramples a child while walking, and was going to walk away while the child was crying and causing a fuss! Our friend Utterson decides to go and find this Edward Hyde. He glimpses him one night and, sure enough, he gets the same strong feelings of dislike for Hyde as everyone else!
After some investigation, Utterson says, “Like, I need to speak to Henry because I’m not going to board this sinking ship.” So, he approaches Dr. Jekyll and he’s more than a little evasive about who Edward Hyde is and why he’s hanging around. His words to Utterson are:
“I will tell you one thing: the moment I choose, I can be rid of Mr. Hyde.”
Naturally, I have been underlining passages in the book, tabbing, and making comments. My comment: Can you though?
Are we sure about this? Are we absolutely, 100% sure that if you want to separate from Mr. Hyde, you are the one who’ll be rid of him? Do you have any control over what is happening right now? Be for real!
But I know the story, so I can ask these questions!
Since the story is on the shorter side, I’m not going to break it down any further in case you want to read it. Here is what I will say – Dr. Henry Jekyll didn’t have control over shit, and there was only one way this could have ended. So, in a way, Dr. Jekyll was correct. Which is pretty damn dark and bleak, if you ask me.
Here is what I really enjoyed about reading this book:
Yes, it does look at repression in Victorian society, but there are other underlying themes here. The obvious is good vs. evil or “playing God”. However, you can’t read this story without also considering other areas: nature vs. nurture, science vs. religion, mental health, etc. These are all strong discussions you can have during your next book group. Or, you know, Emily Henry’s last book is fun, too! (Not even a diss, I love Emily Henry and she has a lot happier reads!)
The length was, somehow, perfect. It can be intimidating to read what is considered classic literature (I’m looking at you, Dickens). This was just long enough for the heart of the story not to be pushed down under language/prose that are too heavy.
It’s just so interesting to me. I am genuinely and completely fascinated by this story.
What frustrated me about this story:
I want to know why. That is the one thing that Stevenson doesn’t delve into – what was the catalyst for Dr. Henry Jekyll to start experimenting and, once there was even a hint at Hyde doing awful things, why didn’t he discontinue this experiment? When did he realize that he lost control?
The language used to describe Hyde and aligning the way he looked (see above) with something bad. I get that this was written in a much different time period, but it still made me uncomfortable. I have more thoughts on this, but I want to watch a few films to see how they approach the differences between Jekyll and Hyde before I delve any further.
Just those two frustrating things! The two things that prompted me to give The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde a 4/5 stars.
With the source material conquered, I can now start my film journey.
Don’t envy me the research I’m going to have to do to find what films were both directly and indirectly inspired by this story.
Even though I failed horribly at my book-buying ban set at the beginning of the year, I have stayed true to my goal of watching more movies! There was a long period (probably a good ten years, honestly) when I gave up watching movies. When I say “gave up”, I mean I went from watching a few movies a month to a few a year. For someone who grew up watching horror movies and clung to them because they have always been soothing and the community welcoming, to suddenly give up not only that genre but all genres? WTF?
Depression is a bitch.
If my memory is being kind to me today, I have watched right around 10 movies this year so far. Only four of them were re-watches! I think seven new movies in January and February is pretty damn good since I think I may have watched that many from 2023-2025! I’m proud of me even if you’re not! You’re not my real mom, anyway. You can’t tell me what to do.
I wanted to take a moment to highlight three movies that stood out among the ten!
I absolutely loved this film. First, the dubbed version is decidedly NOT the way to go on this one. I made the mistake of playing that version first. Awful. Subtitled is definitely the way to go here. In short, this is about a child celebrating her birthday, and all she wants is to go see her mother. We get the impression that mom and dad are having a hard time in their marriage. Dad also works quite a lot, which is why his daughter wants to see her mother as badly as she does. However, Dad takes some time away from work to board a train so his daughter can celebrate her birthday with Mom. Then zombies. Infected? I’m not sure what the appropriate word is for them. When I think of zombies, I think of George Romero, brains, and shopping malls. This is more infection-based than corpses being raised from their graves. Fabulous movie! 8.5/10
I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about this movie. To be fair, I wasn’t sure what to expect because I’ve been staying away from horror movie trailers, websites, etc., so nothing gets spoiled for me. Even though I wasn’t watching many movies over the last ten years, a part of me knew I would eventually come back to them. I was not disappointed by this film! There are a few things I wanted the writer(s) to expand on, which, as a reader, I know is much harder to do in a film than in a book. I wanted to know more about the relationships among the characters, the town’s history (though I can fill in some horrific details), and…the origin. I’m going to be vague on “the origin” just in case someone somewhere down the line who hasn’t seen Sinners (and knows nothing about it) comes across this post. Those aspects aside, it’s visually very beautiful, well-acted, and that soundtrack. That soundtrack! My goodness, so good! 7.5/10
I would like to start off by saying, “Fuck that guy.” Fuck that guy and fuck this movie. Listen, I am not one to scare easily when it comes to horror movies. I’ve been watching Freddy, Jason, Michael, Chucky, and so on since I was about 4 years old. The Exorcist? Disturbing, yes. Scary to me? No. So why did I pause multiple times, trying to “hide” from this movie? This was effective. In short, Aaron answers an online ad that sends him into the middle of nowhere to meet up with Josef to complete a job for him. The problem clearly started when Aaron accepted this job because A) dude, you’re about to go out into the middle of nowhere (have you never seen The Evil Dead?) and B) you don’t know what the job entails, dude. And it was a job to film something for him? Seriously? No, really, you thought this was a good idea? No self-preservation! You can’t be part of my apocalypse survival team if you’re the person who agrees to this. You’d get my ass killed. Can’t have that! 8/10
Last month, I mentioned that one of my favorite stories is The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Great news, I started my re-read after rectifying the horror of not owning a copy. After that, I will keep everyone updated not only on my thoughts about the book itself, but also on the film adaptations I watch this year. The other night, though, I had a thought. I knew this story had inspired other books, a multitude of movies, and, I imagine, many television episodes, all drawn from Robert Louis Stevenson’s arguably best-known work. But what inspired Stevenson to write about good and evil and how it manifests in humankind? All authors are inspired by something, right? Turns out, there are theories!
I’m not going to bore everyone with an essay on what inspired Stevenson, but I did want to touch upon a few that stood out when I looked into it. Perhaps, if you’re interested, you can dig a little deeper than I did and find a few more gems that I, no doubt, missed here.
William Brodie. So, apparently, there was this dude in the 1700s who came from a fairly well-to-do, upper-crust family and was tried and hanged for theft. Depending on where you get your information, our friend Brodie also had an established family, yes, but also a few mistresses and a few illegitimate children. Not such a big deal by today’s standards, but scandalous by that time period’s standards. Again, depending on where you are reading from, he was also a drunkard who loved to gamble. Friends, times were different back then! I didn’t dig too much into William’s background, but I am a little interested in what he stole to make it bad enough to be sent to the gallows. Like, what are you stealing, my guy?
Eugene Chantrelle. So, this one makes a lot more sense as a source of inspiration. You can click the link for a little more information, but here is the lowdown on Chantrelle. Dude hung out with Stevenson, who, I guess, was sort of aware his friend wasn’t right. Chantrelle allegedly killed his wife by way of opium. But wait! There’s more! It’s unclear if he was ever tried for overdosing (I’m assuming) his wife or tried because he liked to poison his houseguests, but he fled his crimes, ended up in Scotland, where he – and are we surprised? – killed four people. All smiling and kind to your face, but will definitely try to feed you poison cheese and toast.
Hallucinogens. I didn’t get too in-depth with this one either, but apparently Stevenson liked to partake in hallucinogenic substances that may have played a role in the creation of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Good times. Noodle salad.
This was a random two or so sentences I noted while I was clicking around, but I believe it was a family member of Stevenson who said the concept may have come from a vivid dream he had. I don’t know how much stock to place in this, but it’s possible! I have had some gnarly dreams, too.
Victorian times. Again, there wasn’t much in my particular search, but it would probably be interesting on its own. There was concern in Victorian times about respectable individuals suddenly no longer being seen as such. I would imagine that if I went back and looked up some of the more popular Victorian titles, there would be a theme there, specifically in the more horror or gothic literature dealing with the duality of man, good versus evil, etc.
I am fascinated! Also, as I start my re-read, I notice more in the text that didn’t stand out the first time I read it. Having a better understanding of where the author may have drawn inspiration makes the re-read far more interesting and enjoyable.
Don’t judge! This is not the first (and definitely won’t be the last) time I’ve enjoyed something others think is trash. I embrace this part of myself. Also, if you buy one of those variety bags of candy and Crunch is an option, you don’t have to throw them out anymore! Just, like, give them to me. Please?
