zlabya and I just saw the documentary film KEDI at my town theater. It is THE WISEST FILM EVER MADE!!!1!!

KEDI follows the lives of several stray cats of Istanbul and the thoroughly enlightened humans they associate with. My flistmates who live with furry nonhuman beings, especially the cat-owned, you MUST see this film, if you haven't already! The paid utube site in the link above lets you use the service for a month free, also check the list on that page and see if it's coming to a theater near you--the international page lists when it will be at some US film festivals as well.

Besides the joy of seeing the stories of humans who have reached enlightenment and the cats who guided them there, the cinematography is beautiful and the soundtrack is terrific.

Which leads me to a nitpick--I saw Wonder Woman a couple of weeks ago and really loved it, except why were there no cats on Themyscira? That made the whole film less believable to me. Discuss.

Hi! <3 I'm trying to find my way back to posting . . . .

I couldn't do a memorial post to Carrie Fisher earlier this week due to LJ shenanigans and I'm still feeling the need, so here it is. I'm just so sad to see her go so young with so much left to write and act and enjoy. Besides looking forward to seeing her play General Leia some more, and I know we already have her filmed for the next film, I read The Guardian newspaper and was looking forward to seeing her agony aunt column. Looking through pics of her, it really looked like she was becoming more and more comfortable with herself over the last few years and I wish she got to enjoy more of the fruits of her long, hard slog through mental illness to come into her own.

I came to take for granted what her iconic role as Princess Leia meant to me back when I was 15, as for so many young women of my generation.
