Three sentence movie reviews: Logan Lucky

This was a re-watch so the MAunts could see it. I think the Aunts portion of the MAunts, was not overly blown away, but the Mother part of the MAunts enjoyed it. On this re-watch, I enjoyed how much the actors seemed to be enjoying themselves.

Cost: $1.50 from Redbox
Where watched: at home, with Matt, the MAunts & Kelly (who looked at her Facebook feed through part of the movie, so count her in the Not Impressed category.)

One Story: The Crazies & Bulletin Board Dragon

I will probably always think of Roxane Gay’s description of the kind of short story she doesn’t want to read: “white people in sad marriages.”  This is one of those stories, even to the point of including a white character with an inheritance.  Aside from being one of those stories, I found it enjoyable, but I did notice that this is the second short story this year set in Montana.  Could the New York City-based editors be longing for wide open spaces?


A girl suffering from agoraphobia. Her neighbor, a boy with schizophrenia. It would be a nice setup for a Romeo and Juliet-style story, and the two do come together.  But star-crossed love doesn’t bring them together.  A dragon does.

This is the second One Teen Story issue with an author named after a particular flower.  Is there Lily/Lilly bias going on at One Story, or was their a run on that name in the early 2000s?
