summer of horror: bring her back, weapons, & together
remember when we all tried to be indie?
Was it cringe? Yes. But were we free? Sure.
In the midst of the indie sleaze revival, girlblog’s latest playlist provides a glimpse into a flourescent adolescence lived in skinny jeans, moustauche patterns, and Ray Bans.
cat of the month
February’s cat of the month is: Bleeker!
Bleeker’s presence in Gone Girl is symbolic of Amy and Nick’s hypothetical child. Just like any loving couple, the two adopted Bleeker in preparation for future parenthood. They give him a big, clean home to roam around it, with plenty of cosy sleeping spaces like the bedroom, the kitchen, and the living room.
Bleeker is a great cat with a great life. This family have absolutely nothing to worry about.
Seriously, though — Bleeker is fine. He’s on good terms with Amy and Nick, not showing sympathy or disdain for either party. Merely an orange presence.
He is, however, better taken care of by Amy. Knowing that Nick will likely forget to feed him, she leaves Bleeker some extra food before she goes missing. He does seem pleased to see her when she comes home, too, sat on the kitchen counter beside her as she prepares a meal for Nick.
David Fincher cast a cat named Cheeto in the role of Bleeker. An older cat, his docile nature made him easy to direct and for the other actors to perform alongside him.
