Shit, Actually: The Definitive, 100% Objective Guide to Modern Cinema by Lindy WestSometimes you just need a book to escape and laugh. Lindy West is one of the funniest feminist writers on the Internet, and her book doesn’t disappoint - a collection where she rewatches, and reviews ‘80-’00 movies with so much snark it makes you want to read parts aloud to make your friends laugh.
I realize, not every reader of this may have seen all these films... but it’s a culturally significant list, and even if you’re not familiar, you get the idea. For those that know the films, you’ll find her reviews in a range of “snortworthy” to “milk coming out of my nose.” Movies have always been a way for me to escape, and in a year of being without a big screen and popcorn, this book made me smile. —Sarah R.
