Your Weekend: A Selective Guide
Movies: Why “Oppenheimer” is a better movie than “Barbie”: because “Barbie” starts strong and dribbles away and “Oppenheimer” starts slow and finishes strong…TV/Streaming: You know it’s the second half of summer when everything on streaming is about the danger of sharks…Books: August is approaching, which means I have to ask myself: do I re-read Tolstoy or Proust?…Music: It’s a good thing I live alone in August: there’s no one around to complain when I start cranking up the hard-core rock n roll…Sports: Usually, late July means no proper football. But we have Messi in Miami and the women’s World Cup — hallelujah!
