Shows like “Moon Knight” and “WandaVision” were really good, but many of the newer movies felt flat. I also never got into DC, so I wasn’t expecting much from them.  But this summer changed my mind.

Textiles are one of the longest-lasting and most widely enjoyed art forms, as they encompass items that we wear, sleep under or sit on. It’s art that is both functional and meaningful.  They can create the idea of things being woven together, inextricable, or the veil that separates worlds, such as a curtain blocking out

In the 2022 film “Vengeance,” one of the eclectic side characters describes our protagonist as a “playlist guy.” When the protagonist expresses confusion about this label, the character explains, “When some computer recommends you a bunch of songs based on your favorites and a bunch more based on your favorites of those.
