Song of the WeekSong of the Week

GorgeousTaylor Swift

You should take it as a complimentThat I got drunk and made fun of the way you talkYou should think about the conse-quenceOf your magnetic fi eld being a little too strongAnd I got a boyfriend, he’s older than usHe’s in the club doing I don’t know whatYou’re so cool, it makes me hate you so much (I hate you so much)Whiskey on ice, Sunset and VineYou’ve ruined my life by not being mine

You’re so gorgeousI can’t say anything to your face’Cause look at your faceAnd I’m so furiousAt you for making me feel this wayBut what can I say?You’re gorgeous You should take it as a complimentThat I’m talking to everyone here but youAnd you should think about the consequenceOf you touching my hand in the darkened roomIf you’ve got a girlfriend, I’m jealous of herBut if you’re single that’s honestly worse’Cause you’re so gorgeous it actually hurts (Honey, it hurts)

Ocean blue eyes looking in mineI feel like I might sink and drown and die

You’re so gorgeousI can’t say anything to your face’Cause look at your faceAnd I’m so furiousAt you for making me feel this wayBut what can I say?You’re gorgeous

You make me so happy it turns back to sadThere’s nothing I hate more than what I can’t haveAnd you are so gorgeous it makes me so madYou make me so happy it turns back to sad, yeahThere’s nothing I hate more than what I can’t haveGuess I’ll just stumble on home to my catsAloneUnless you wanna come along ...Review For anyone hoping for a more conventional Taylor Swift single from her forthcoming sixth album, “Reputation,” the third time’s the charm, as “Gorgeous” fi nally provides some of the conventional pleasures that only a pop song about falling deeply in crush can. The production subtly swings with a midtempo beat and a guitar like riff that repeats over and over.

Hot Read

Turtles All the Way Down

It’s quite rare to fi nd someone who sees the same world you see.

Sixteen-year-old Aza never intended to pursue the mystery of fugitive* billionaire Russell Pickett, but there’s a hundred-thousand-dollar reward at stake and her best and most fearless friend, Daisy, is eager to investigate*.

So together, they navigate the short distance and broad divides* that separate them from Russell Pickett’s son, Davis.

Aza is trying. She is trying to be a good daughter, a good friend, a good student, and maybe even a good detective, while also living

within the ever-tightening spiral of her own thoughts.

In his long-awaited return, John Green shares Aza’s story with shat-tering, unfl inching clarity* in this brilliant novel of love, resilience*, and the power of lifelong friend-ship.

It’s a fun story of teen friendship, young love, and a mystery needing to be solved. It’s a fast-moving read that really helps one get inside the head of someone suffering from obses-sive-compulsive disorder (OCD)*. There’s a mystery to move the plot along, but the real heart of the story is in the characters and the poetry of

the language as they struggle to fi nd themselves.

Green is the award-winning, best-selling author of “Looking for Alaska,” “An Abundance of Kather-ines,” “Paper Towns,” “Will Grayson, Will Grayson” (with David Levithan), and “The Fault in Our Stars.”

Directed by Taika Waititi, this is the third installment in the “Thor” series.

Returning to his native Asgard after escaping* imprisonment*, Thor (Chris Hemsworth) is drawn back into the sibling rivalry* between him and the devious shape-shifter Loki (Tom Hiddleston), who’s pretending to be their father, Odin (Anthony Hopkins), after dumping him on the earthly plane. Further competition for Odin’s throne* arrives in the form of the brothers’ long-lost sister, Hela (Cate Blanchett). A Norse terror with a Goth streak who lives up to the title of Goddess of Death, she’s been redacted* from Asgard’s history and isn’t happy about it. While Hela puts a reluctant* Skurge (Karl Urban) to work as her henchman*, Thor some-

how becomes a prisoner again, this time on the planet Sakaar.

Ruled by Jeff Goldblum’s dictator Grandmaster, Sakaar is home to a gladiatorial contest that will pit Thor against* the Hulk — who likes love beads and soaks in the hot tub during his nonfi ghting hours. Another larger-than-life character, Thor’s fellow pris-oner Korg (built on director Waititi’s motion-capture performance), proves a fi rst-rate comic foil*. A stone man with a revolutionary calling, he’s a ready ally when Thor gathers together a team to save Asgard.

Also on board is a willing Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo), who has just emerged from a long stint in Hulk-dom. Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson), a hard-drinking warrior and part-time bounty hunter, exchanges shy glances

with Thor when she isn’t talking tough and kicking butt. Idris Elba’s steadfast Heimdall, guard of Asgard, uses his indispensable know-how to advise Thor.

The high-powered visuals, both practical and computer-generated, include familiar elements from the fi lm’s predecessors. Least typical of the genre are the intentionally tacky* interiors and primary colors of Sakaar’s privileged quarters, the setting for some of the movie’s better surprises.

There are moments that might bring a viewer back to the day’s news: a citizens’ uprising, an exodus* of refugees. But amid the battles — on land and sea, in arenas and in the air — it’s the jokes that amp* the story’s comic-book formula. (SD-Agencies)
