Anomalisa is an upcoming stop-motion film directed by Charlie Kaufman — the writer behind Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Adaptation, and Being John Malkovich. The plot revolves around Michael Stone, a respected author in the midst of an existential crisis. One night, while on a business trip, he meets a stranger who changes his world view. I'm really excited for this one because this is Kaufman's first film in seven years. Anomalisa successfully raised funds on Kickstarter and will be out on December 30.
My first apartment was in Malate, and calling it “small” would be generous. I lived there with two girls and one guy, and to this day, I genuinely don’t know how we all fit. It felt like a magic trick. Or a health hazard. We were a musical mess. One roommate lived and breathed ’70s classics. Another was permanently blasting Korn and Slipknot. One survived solely on cheesy love songs. And me? I was floating somewhere between new wave and folk rock, pretending that made sense. Somehow, despite the noise and the chaos, we all lived together in this weird, mismatched harmony. No murders. No lawsuits. A win, honestly. My music taste now is nothing like it was in my twenties. Not even close. But I’ll always be grateful to Jacqueline for introducing me to this song in particular. It was playing when I woke up from a very memorable sleep in 2002. I was 21, half-awake, probably confused about life, and that song stuck. It still hasn’t let go.
