Minnie: So maybe nobody loves me. 

Maybe nobody will ever love me. But maybe

Happy 30th birthday to the actress Bel Powley today! So tremendously good right outta the gate with this performance here (okay she'd been in several things before this one but this is "The Moment I Fell For" energy if every there was) -- here's my old review of this fairly perfect movie if you'd like to read it. I don't watch The Morning Show so I didn't realize she was on that -- how is she? Anybody watch that and know? I hope she's thriving. And I'm excited to see she's in at least one episode of Cary Fukunaga's upcoming series Masters of the Air, which I told you about previously here. (Also can you believe I have restrained myself and not brought up Alexander Skarsgard and his perv-stache once? Oh damn nevermind.)
