I would love to see this film but unfortunately it is not playing in a theatre near me.

Reflections On a Lifetime Of Dental Drama
“In photographs from my childhood I am often sporting wide, toothy smiles. Guileless grins. It seems I was—despite the complications of divorce, alcoholism, and mental illness in my family—a happy kid. But by my teens I began to develop a sort of tight-lipped, toothless grin. I could feel myself consciously pulling my upper lip tight against my teeth, my tongue poking at the back of my fake, discolored front tooth.
When I attended summer camp in the early 1980s, there was no long journey north from some hot city. No slow drive down a narrow dirt road through a tunnel of tall pines. No tearful goodbye as my parents dropped me off with a duffle bag of jeans and T-shirts, swim trunks and a towel, then drove away. I was a local kid, a poor year-rounder in Maine. “Summer camp” meant my small town’s daily parks-and-rec program on the grounds of my elementary school, which was across the street from the dilapidated house my unstable mother rented with her alcoholic boyfriend. For me, there was only waking to an empty house, making myself breakfast, then crossing the road.”

He Was Probably Asking For It
Receiving abusive emails? If you were using a coquettish font like Helvetica you probably brought it on yourself.
Otters
After a long day at the aquarium, the otters help tidy their toys away. Payment is made promptly and entirely in ice cubes.

Eating in Stockholm
I have always wanted to visit Stockholm. This video let me experience some of its very good restaurants vicariously.
Cameraphone
The "Cameraphone" was a revolutionary portable wooden gramophone manufactured in the 1920s, mostly coming out of Germany and Great Britain. Designed to look precisely like a folding box camera of the era, it was the 1920s equivalent of a portable music player. IG: @popmania.es
