Your Weekend: A Selective Guide
Movies: Wanna see a skater’s legs get hobbled? Then “I, Tonya” is for you! “The Shape of Water,” the lovable-monster story starring the appealing Sally Hawkins, has been lavished with praise. TV/Streaming: The Crown The Crown The Crown The Crown The Crown The Crown The Crown The Crown The Crown The Crown The Crown The Crown The Crown. Music: Don’t usually listen to the latest tunes but like to keep up — and with imaginative video artists, too? Then take a peek at Pitchfork’s Best Music Videos of 2017. Books: What? You don’t know the work of Lawrence Osborne? Start with his first novel, “The Forgiven.” On the face of it, it’s a mildly thriller-ish satire about upper-class foreigners who come a terrible cropper in Morocco. Osborne’s like a grown-up version of Graham Greene, an Evelyn Waugh or Edward St Aubyn without the snobbery and cruelty. Sports: Disillusioned with the NFL after the disgusting brutality of this week’s Pittsburgh/Cincinnati game, I think I’ll go back to watching curling. Finally: I don’t care about Advent, but I sure do love chocolate Advent calendars. Only 99 cents at Trader Joe’s!
