Late to the movie game but it’s the preseason opener. We are going random because I need one fast. Broncos win - How to Build A Girl Broncos lose - Boys Go to Jupiter #BroncosCountry

Enjoyed Chandler Levack's Mile End Kicks about a female writer in the 2010's Montreal indie scene. Barbie Ferreira leads a superb cast. A good double feature with Caitlin Moran & Coky Giedroyc's 2019 UK film How to Build a Girl-the douchey men these women had to deal with...

I'm having a go at the film How to Build a Girl (Caitlin Moran)... ....and who should I see as an abusive local schoolboy but.... lovely Donal Finn (Mr Hayward) from The Other Bennet Sister. #GottaPayYourDues #BeforeBecomingRomanticHero
