Every day it’s become clearer to me that there’s no ignoring how brutally cruel this winter has been across the country. It’s battered and bruised us with unprecedented snow and subzero temperatures across the Midwest, the South and the Northeast.
It’s only natural that when we are forced to stay indoors, we sink a bit deeper into our couches. Don’t worry – you’re not the only one with the perpetual imprint on their used Ikea couch. My brother’s Criterion Channel subscription hasn’t had a moment’s rest since the beginning of winter – I’ve watched nearly the entirety of the streamer’s Nicole Kidman collection. Despite Kidman’s soaring performance, I hated “Eyes Wide Shut” – mostly because of Tom Cruise – no offense, Stanley Kubrick.
