Get excited for this limited-edition post-meeting arts and culture email. ICYMI: Our VERY LAST Arts & Culture meeting EVER (with me as the host, that is) is next Tuesday, April 10 in SUB 3-04 at 4:00-5:00 PM! If you haven't come out to one of 'em yet, this could be ur last hurrah!Also, here's your almost-final weekly reminder to pitch me any ideas you have! I'd love to hear them. Especially for the following columns, to ROUND OUT THAT SCHOOL YEAR:

• Diss Track: Are there 3-4 songs that grind your gears in the worst way possible? Diss the crap out of them in this column.

• Brew Crew/Vino Bitches: A fun, 150- to 350-word review of your favourite (or not-so-favourite) beer, wine, or other alcoholic beverage of choice.

• Noodle Nation: Who loves noodles? You (might) love noodles. Write 450 to 500 words on your favourite noodle (ramen, pho, other long stringy flour-y food) haunts for this column.

• DatApp: Have an app that’s been a game- or life-changer? Wax eloquently about it (or a few of your favourites) in a short 150- to 350-word installment for this column.

• Top 5: Top 5 study spots, places to cry in public, late-night post-exam diners...you name it, you can write a Top 5 on it! 50-200 words per Thing In The Top 5.

• Emoji of the Week: This one’s self-explanatory. Trawl your recently used emojis and sing praise about it and why other people should worship it as The Best Emoji too.

• Fashion Streeters: If you love walking up to people and asking them about their cool outfits, this one’s for you. Q & A format. Consider pairing up with a photo volunteer or taking your own pics!

• Doin’ You: Everyone has something they do exceptionally well. Wanna teach others your wizardry? Walk us step-by-step through the process of a master for this column.

• Playlists: Have killer musical taste? Share it on The Gateway with a curated playlist.

• ...AND MORE! You can also pitch me your own column ideas if you want to write your own or if you've seen any awesome movies/heard any music/read any books/played any games/eaten any food etc., let me know.

Lemme know at [email protected] if these pique your interest.

Film Review: In the Fade

At Cannes 2017, Diane Kruger won Best Actress for her riveting performance in Fatih Akin’s In the Fade (Aus dem Nichts), a gritty thriller about a grief-stricken woman who takes revenge for the death of her Kurdish-German husband and their young son in a Neo-Nazi terrorist attack. Also reaping accolades in the foreign language category, the film won the 2018 Golden Globe and was Germany’s 2018 Oscar entry. Katja and Nuri may have started out as an atypical couple, given that he was a convicted drug dealer and the two were married in jail. But now they are living a happy family life — until the bombing. Wanting justice, Katja asks herself: What would Nuri do? We have an online screener for this. Review it!
