@newyorkcomiccon.bsky.social I want to change my survey answer to panels I'd like to see next year - I'd like to see "Friday the 13th: The Series." This JoBlo Originals video brought back so many good memories for me. youtu.be/6V-PReNYmnA?...

Wow, I had the complete opposite opinion. I thought the story was an interesting imagining of society in the decades since the first 28 Days. The ritualization in particular made the movie for me as well as the portrayal of the "infected."

I'm not on much so really don't know what's going on but sometimes it really isn't you. Sometimes it's just them.

Thank you @jamesgunn.bsky.social for the more realistic portrayal of Krypto. Superman was a lot of fun but it was Krypto that made the movie for me. I honestly teared up a bit as it made me think of my own dog that passed earlier this year.

Trailer | Diane Arbus: "Constellation"

If you're in the area, walk through the new Diane Arbus exhibit at the Park Avenue Armory. Spread out among the photos on this grid-like lattice are reflective surfaces that in a way add your reflection/your portrait to the hundreds taken by Arbus.

Has it really been 40 years? I have vague memories of getting up early on a Saturday in the summer before my freshman year at college with a stack of blank VHS tapes and my finger on the record button of the family VHS player. I think I was there almost the entire day.

What a mom wants: Netflixโ€™s The Lifeย List Alex โ€œBeanโ€ Rose has a โ€œlife list.โ€ A list she made at 13 of things she wants to accomplish in life. It includes things like learning to play the piano, learning to drive, reading Moby Dick, getting a tattoo, performing a stand-up routine, getting along better with her father, and falling in love. In Netflixโ€™s The Life List, Alex must fulfill the items on her life list in order to receive her inheritance. Her mother Elizabeth believes Alex is โ€œflounderingโ€ and given up her passions for a โ€œcozy job.โ€ Something happened that hurt Alex so deeply that she quit the life she imagined and now works as an account executive at her motherโ€™s cosmetic company.

The Life List on Netflix was fun and it got me thinking about stuff.

Wait, what happened? I haven't started season 2 yet but I've played the game so sort of know what goes on. Should I watch the second season or wait for a rainy day when there is nothing else on?

I've been binging season 1. I remember it used to be on Netflix but disappeared before I could finish it. So happy that it's on Crunchyroll and that there are several seasons to watch! Such an incredible show. Puppets and old fashioned HKTVB period drama!

Hmm... I don't know if it was epic but it was loads of fun. The cute rom com elements really made the show worthwhile. I felt that's what made "Moving" so fun and interesting to watch.

24.01.2025 10:21 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Thank you for the recommendation. I've just finished "Moving." It's definitely on the opposite end of "Light Shop" visually but both have similarly dark themes.

Dementia 21 might be myย Steppenwolf SPOILERS! There may be spoilers in this post. Do not read further, if it concerns you. It is definitely my age that gives Shintaro Kagoโ€™s Dementia 21 a little more bite. A little more darkness. A little more sadness. And a little more humor. A friend once told me that Herman Hesseโ€™s Steppenwolf tells an entirely different story when read as a 30-year-old than the one a high schooler reads when assigned it in English class.

Would you say #LightShop was "poetic?" That's the word that popped into my head when I tried to describe it to a friend in 30 words or less. It's one of the best shows I've seen in a while. I haven't seen #Moving but have just put it on my Watchlist.

Grotesquerie in theย Twilight THERE ARE SPOILERS IN THIS POST. DON'T READ FURTHER IF IT MATTERS TO YOU. I finally binged Grotesquerie on Hulu. I had no idea of what the show was about before starting it. I was drawn in by the "gothy" color scheme and religious imaginary, deep reds and purple hues over Christian crosses hung over a nun in a white habit, running into frame.

I wrote a new blog post.
