There’s something fascinating about discovering artefacts from a parent’s childhood.

Perhaps it’s the window into the past if offers, or maybe it’s the simple insight into what interested and occupied them when they were growing up.

Recently, movie critic Bilge Ebiri made just such a discovery while clearing out his dad’s attic. He took to Twitter on Sunday to share his findings…

So, here’s a fun little thread that I hope won’t bore you guys to tears, but it’s quite special to me.

The notes reached back all the way to the first film he saw, THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN (when he was 4), and he kept the notes going for yearspic.twitter.com/RYF6ftekPd

But the amazing problem that comes with being given such a task is how weird, yet hilariously accurate major blockbusters can sound when you’re only given a limited amount of words to explain the movie. Take for example, these users who eloquently explained a few of their favorite films: Read more…

Keira Knightley is voicing her concern over the way women are treated in films.

In an interview with Variety, the 32-year-old actress discussed how she tends to shy away from taking on modern-day films “because the female characters nearly always get raped.”

“I always find something distasteful in the way women are portrayed, whereas I’ve always found very inspiring characters offered to me in historical pieces,” Knightley said, noting there’s been some improvement over the years but the industry still has a lot of work to do.
