Summer Movies

Hooray! Mr. Malcolm's List is coming in July! I'm so glad they made the full movie, even if they had to recast Gemma Chan's part. I guess she had too many Marvel movies to film. This Jane Austen-ish romcom will be a bright spot this summer. I might also watch the Elvis biopic because it looks interesting.

Until now, I've avoided the Jurassic World movies, but I'll have try this new one with Laura Dern, Sam Neill, and Jeff Goldblum. Hope they won't just be cameos, and that I won't be lost about the plot/mythos. Also there's a movie in June called The Lost Girls which tackles the weirdness of Peter Pan continually visiting Wendy Darling and all the women of her family. I found this generational hold on the Darling family creepy in the book too. It looks like a limited release, so I hope I'll be able to find it in a theater near me.

Meanwhile, I'm doing more sewing. I bought a Uniquely You Dress Form cover, but was completely confused by the instructions; the drawings were very unclear. I didn't understand how to do a vertical dart, or where to put it, until l read the steps on this blog, which has helpful photos and description. I don't actually have the styrofoam form, so I'm planning to stuff it with some stuffing I got at Joann's. If that doesn't work, then I'll buy some actual foam to cut up. (From what I've read in several reviews, most people had to cut the boobs and/or reshape the form to match their actual body.) Whenever I finish, I'll mount it on a stand and see if it actually works so I can sew clothes that fit me.
