    "Where the Crawdads Sing". Surely the best Heron Movie opening sequence. Spot the Green Heron and Great Egret, co-stars to the Great Blue. 🎬 youtu.be/7qgQ_caLKrk?...

    I'm sure there's more than one, but the most recent (for the past 4 years) is Where The Crawdads Sing. A lady Bob knows convinced him the movie was great so we went to see it and it was the biggest pile of shit I'd ever seen. Bob fell asleep. After it was over, I heard one lady ask "What the hell?"

    I live in my grandparents' old house. To access my kitchen and bathroom I must leave my house. This winter the lowest temperature was -15°C. Last summer the highest was 42°C. On the one hand the simple need to put on three layers of clothes to go piss is rough on your morale. On the other hand... imagine waking up to take a leak and being FORCED to see a starry sky or being FORCED to walk through the thick snow in your yard. You are simply not allowed to not enjoy it, which is pretty great,…

    📽️ Where the Crawdads Sing 🎬 I don't really get all the hate towards this film. I have to admit that I wouldn't mind a solitary life in the marshes, spending time reading books, drawing and going around in a boat. Minus all the drama and the bigots Kya's life seems pretty appealing to me. 6.5/10

    The meme reminds me of the setting in the book/movie “Where The Crawdads Sing.” Fictional place in the story, looks idyllic but wasn't. Would be interesting to explore there a while irl for the beauty of it, carefully eluding all lurking predators - alligators, snakes, creepy humans & such.

    Bad Good movies are challenging, disturbing and often trying to do more than they should. Think Uncut Gems, or Under the Skin. Good Bad movies are cloying, kinda cliche, but ultimately satisfying. Think The Super Mario Bros Movie, or Where the Crawdads Sing.

    Hindsight is 20/20. Sometimes the book gives the detail needed to understand the movie. Sometimes the movie setting is so good that it makes the book more impactful. Where the Crawdads Sing is a mix. The setting was so better conveyed in the movie. But the story detail was much better in the book.
