Thanks for reminding me about the reading!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I saw that one of the services is doing a new version of The Stand ... or at least it was planned. Might end up being cancelled and just showing news reports.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I watched the table read from the Community cast on YouTube and laughed super hard. They had Pedro Pascal guest read and he kept breaking the further they got in; the rest of the cast was basically "yeah, welcome to this job". It was great.
Also on streaming, I've been really enjoying Taika Waiiti's episodic reading of "James and the Giant Peach", featuring a slew of celebrity contributors that change with each episode. Really excellent, particularly as I haven't read the book since elementary school -- so I've forgotten everything that happens, making this really engaging.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Has anyone seen Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga yet? I generally take a hard pass on Will Ferrell comedies, but this one has Rachel McAdams as the female lead, Dan Stevens playing the rival (who's a closeted Russian George Michael expy!), Natasia Demetriou in a supporting role, and Graham Norton as himself, so I'm wavering.
It all comes down to one question: Does Pierce Brosnan sing in this?

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Matt, he does not. I was even more disappointed in this movie than I expected to be.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I'll be the voice of dissent. I quite enjoyed it! It is exceedingly silly and a bit too long, but I laughed a lot and loved many of the songs. (I've had "Jaja Ding Dong" of all songs stuck in my head for DAYS, like, I kept humming under my breath "... my love for you grows long and wide" part at all sorts of inconvenient times, like during a staff meeting, etc.)
Rachel McAdams is adorable, and Dan Stevens nearly runs away with the film. Ferrell obviously has a lot of affection for the contest - all the fun-poking is very good-natured. Plus, gorgeous Icelandic scenery! I found the whole thing quite soothing.
