April 2024 Movies/Shows Wrap-Up

A little monthly (spoilery!) wrap-up of all the shows, movies, and shorts I’ve watched or am watching in April 2024, general thoughts, and ranking of them all.

Recommendation of the month(s): idk, had a bunch of shows that I rated pretty well but they each have big caveats lol.

Ranking

The Good Bad Mother (2023) = Utsukushii Kare S2 (2023) = 10 Things I Hate About You (1999) = The Warp Effect (2023)

I Hear Your Voice (2013) = Rewatch: ? Utsukushii Kare S1 (2021)

Jazz for Two (2024) = Utsukushii Kare: Eternal (2023)

Some More (2018)

Watching: 23.5

I managed to watch some shows that I’d been really anticipating for quite a while and were released early last year: Utsukushii Kare S2 + movie and The Warp Effect

Average Rating: 6.5/10

MDL Updates - Added to Watchlist:

A section because I’m curious about how many shows I decide to add to my Watch List a month and also the ratio of watching them:adding them.

Title MDL (year) - (date added to Considering or finalized to Watchlist): initial reaction

Jazz for Two - 240411: New kBL that seems fine

Love is Better the Second Time Around - 240417: i'm fond of the second chance/post-breakup romance trope, hopefully I’ll like this one

Blank - 240417: Only season 1 is out for now and apparently it ends on a cliffhanger, so idk if I should be adding it to the watchlist quite yet but I want age gap GL (w dubious morality? idk what the discourse is about tbh), so I’ll add it and hope S2 is released in May as expected and turns out well

My Beautiful Man: Eternal (2023)

Unknown: I’d been keeping an eye on it since it started releasing and it got pretty high praise all throughout. I think I can get into the we’re-not-biological-brothers-but-we-grew-up-together-as-brothers dynamic

Deep Night: I’ve enjoyed First Piyangkul in shows before and am curious about the host club setting in this. This show is such an interesting case because on reddit and on Tumblr, everybody seems to love it and MDL has some mixed comments but mostly positive there too and yet the MDL rating is 7.5, I wonder why the discrepancy.

23.5: FINALLY

I Became the Main Role of a BL Drama - 240417: The Conversation podcast mentioned in their 2024 Winter Lagniappe and seems like it's a celeb-related show? they’re actors?

To Watch List At Start Of Month: 64

To Watch List At End Of Month: 64

Removed from To Watch List:

Title (Year) - (date removed): reason

Nothing this month

Completely Watched

The Good Bad Mother (2023)

Country: South Korea

Release Dates: Apr 26, 2023 - Jun 8, 2023

Watch Via: iQiyi (so, ;>)

Watch Dates: Apr 1 - 3, 2024

Rating: 7/10

Overall Impression: Lee Dohyun <3 My reason for watching but the show is bigger than just him. It was so addictive and entertaining, watched the whole show in like 2 days and 2 hours. Impressed by the acting of Lee Dohyun and the mother and Mijoo's actors. The show was mostly about the mother and son relationship, with the revenge plot + the Mijoo/Kangho romance arcs in the background. I deeply wish that Kangho hadn't apparently forever loved and understood his mother and did everything for her and sang her favourite song while studying for the Bar or whatever. He went low-contact with her in Seoul even before he discovered the stuff that made him break up with Mijoo, so I think the reasons behind that and the hurt and betrayal that caused him to take such an action should have been focused on more. We got fleeting moments of him being angry or her saying she's bad but it was all explained away or he understood or whatever. Anyway, idk, I think if that relationship was more clear + the ending of the revenge arc was more solid, I would've rated it higher because I did enjoy this but some things bothered me significantly.

I Hear Your Voice (2013)

Country: South Korea

Release Dates: Jun 5, 2013 - Aug 1, 2013

Watch Via: Viki (paid, so ;>)

Watch Dates: Apr 3 - 11, 2024

Rating: 6.5/10 [May 12, 2024 Update: Decreased by 0.5 stars when rerating shows I've watched in 2024: 7 -> 6.5]

Overall: Noona romance + mystery + courtroom + sliiight supernatural with mind-reading, it has a bunch of things I liked. It's from over a decade ago but enjoyable nonetheless. I liked it, though Hyeseong and Sooha were quite cute but I wish 1) the episodes were a bit more condensed to be 14-16 episodes and 2) the fucking love triangle wasn't so prominent (though I get that they probably did it because Sooha was underage at first). Not life-changing and kind of overstayed its welcome for me, esp because I was barely watching 1 ep a day in the middle there.

Jazz for Two (2024)

Release Dates: Mar 26, 2024 - Mar 29, 2024

Watch Via: iQiyi (paid, so ;>)

Watch Dates: Apr 11 - 12, 2024

Rating: 6/10

Overall: Nobody in this drama asks before kissing lol not Doyoon, not Seheon, not the little kiss that Seheon's brother gave to sleeping Taejoon, and the other two, Juha and Taeyi, are experts in being creeps and having internalized homophobia that they direct outwardly to the guys they like as well (Seheon's brother fits here too lol). Yet, I enjoyed it a fair amount, the story was coherent, the acting was fine, I was endeared by Doyoon (is he the Omega X kid?), and the dynamics were enjoyable, if iffy on certain counts. Not super attached though.

Overall: It was fine ig but I did skim through the latter half.

Ah, my exams are done (for this semester or forever? who knows), so I can finally start some new shows. Dunno whether I want yaoi with Utsukishii Kare rewatch + S2 and movie or to watch The Warp Effect. They’re both early 2023 shows that I’ve been meaning to watch but it’s been so long of me anticipating them before their release + wanting to watch while releasing + meaning to binge them after release that the expectations are a little high and I keep putting off watching them oof.

And then I got a bunch of Love for Love’s Sake tiktoks on my FYP and the edits for that show are really good, so I’m tempted a bit to rewatch that because it’s on my To Rewatch list anyway but I’ve decided no.

Rewatch: Utsukushii Kare (2021)

Country: South Korea

Release Dates: Nov 18, 2021 - Dec 23, 2021

Watch Via: Viki

Watch Dates: Mar 23, Apr 17 - 18, 2024

Rating: 7?/10

Overall: Ahh, idek why I wasn't Gripped by this rewatch, like I like the characters and dynamics but it wasn't keeping my attention as much, maybe because it's a rewatch? Maybe my original rating of 6.5 was correct and I shouldn't have bumped it up to 7 but who knows, maybe I'll be reintroduced to the brainworms after watching Season 2 because I found ep 6 really engaging and was into it and S2 + movie will have new, unfamiliar stories for me.

Utsukushii Kare Season 2 (2023)

Country: South Korea

Release Dates: Feb 8, 2023 - Mar 1, 2023

Watch Via: Viki

Watch Dates: Apr 18 - 19, 2024

Rating: 7/10

Overall: This season is about Hira and Kiyoi's relationship. They didn't become boring after getting together, they didn't magically end up being a perfect happy well-adjusted couple after getting together, nor were there random issues thrown just because; the struggles and hurdles are true to their characters and dynamics. I liked the themes and dynamics it explored and their character + relationship development and progression. I also smiled a lot and lost my mind a little at certain moments. Strong writing, strong characters, strong acting, what a relief.

Rating: 6/10

Overall: Great, fun, though not as emotionally invested as Season 2 because they're in a better place in their relationship in this movie (even if it's not necessarily Perfect). It was interesting to have new people in their lives like Anna and Noguchi and how their stories influenced them. I'm happy with where we're leaving off the characters after ~6h of show/movie but lowest rating so far because it felt like we spent too much time on stuff like Anna’s story or the random kidnapping.

The Warp Effect (2023)

Country: Thailand

Release Dates: Dec 12, 2022 - Feb 27, 2023

Watch Via: Youtube

Watch Dates: Apr 20 - 26, 2024

Rating: 7/10

Overall: A unique and enjoyable show, it was so fun to see all these characters in their specific situations and how they deal with them. The characters were all compelling, it's wild how I was into all their storylines. how charming each character/their story was, and how the story juggled them. It also made me see a bunch of actors in new lights, New most of all, as they acted in a role outside of their usual wheelhouse. I think the most frustrating part for me was how it seemed like although they were getting at it, they never quite acknowledged that what Alex did to Jean that night was rape. It made me quite angry actually, especially how Alex's actions didn't feel like it actually took Jean's feelings and trauma and requests into account. I was at least glad that in that timeline, Jean doesn't get back with Alex.

It’s a fun one, I thought Kat and whatever the guy’s name is were cute, even though I thought the resolution was much too easy.

I think I'm just in more of a mood to watch intense/thriller stuff and would binge if I was watching that was more that route because I've been watching one ep of 23.5 a day and while it's fun, I'm not dying to watch the next part or next ep. The Warp Effect was kinda like that too, I was watching 1-2 eps a day for a while. Been a while since I binged stuff quickly (The Good Bad Mother in 3 days at the start of the month). Hopefully I can make sure I keep up with the rest of the episodes as they release and don’t get distracted with other shows.

Look! Don't scroll past. This is an amazing little story! All the elements of perfect storytelling ...

And folks just put things like this up on the internet for free.

We are blessed.

Blessed.

not a fanfic, yet a fic you might enjoy ;)

Many young wizards have taken to transmuting swans into humans and marrying them. One day, you are lucky enough to find a swan in the wild, and without hesitating, you turn it into a beautiful lady. Unfortunately, that ‘swan’, was a goose. You have just given a goose a human form.

The “Alvin Bragg” in us all. :: April 12, 2023

ROBERT B. HUBBELL

APR 12, 2023

Alvin Bragg deserves an “A” for effort. The Manhattan District Attorney made the much-criticized decision to indict Trump for falsifying business records. The seemingly innocuous charges are directed at the cynical “catch-and-kill” scheme designed to protect Trump’s presidential prospects in 2016. Many legal commentators criticized the timing of the charges, which served as the first indictment of a former president. Others have questioned the strength or seriousness of the charges.

In typical Trump fashion, he has called on his minions to destroy the systems that threaten him. Trump demanded that Jim Jordan investigate the New York justice system that produced the indictment, vilifying Bragg in the process. Jim Jordan complied with Trump’s wish, issuing subpoenas to Bragg and two former prosecutors in his office. The subpoenas called for information that would reveal the strategy and communications at the heart of Bragg’s case against Trump. In short, Jim Jordan allowed a House committee to serve as a member of Trump’s defense team by seeking information beyond the reach of criminal defendants.

Jordan’s subpoena is an extra-constitutional power grab that violates state sovereignty. Bragg could have simply ignored the subpoena and resisted any effort by the DOJ to enforce it. (Congress has no power to enforce its own subpoenas; it must rely on the DOJ to bring contempt proceedings.) But rather than wait for Jordan to act, Bragg filed a fifty-page complaint and motion for a preliminary injunction that serves as a broadside on Jordan’s constitutional folly.

The complaint is here: Bragg v Jordan. It is a remarkable document worth reading in the original, at least in part. (I recommend pages 1-7.) Bragg asks a federal district court to issue an injunction to prevent Jordan from using the House Judiciary Committee to interfere in the state's sovereign duty in prosecuting Trump. He also seeks to prevent his two former prosecutors from testifying before the Judiciary Committee.

The complaint is audacious in its request for relief and stands little chance of success. Enjoining Congress is a heavy lift—especially before a judge appointed by Trump. But Bragg has seized the initiative in challenging an unprecedented attempt to transmogrify Congress into a “national District Attorney” with the power to supervise prosecutions at the state level. Jordan’s gambit will fail, though Bragg’s lawsuit may not be the vehicle that brings it down.

Still, Bragg has forced Jordan to respond within three weeks to searing allegations that Jordan is actively seeking to interfere in a state criminal prosecution. The complaint alleges, in part,

[Jordan] and his allies have stated they want the District Attorney to come to Capitol Hill to explain himself and to provide a “good argument” to Congress in support of his decision to investigate and prosecute Mr. Trump. And they have threatened that the House of Representatives will hold Alvin Bragg to account for indicting Mr.Trump.

[R]ather than allowing the criminal process to proceed in the ordinary course, Chairman Jordan and the Committee are participating in a campaign of intimidation, retaliation, and obstruction. Mr. Trump in particular, has threatened New York officials with violent and racist vitriol.

Chairman Jordan and the Committee have, in essence, appointed Congress as a super grand jury that can flex its subpoena power to second guess the judgment of New York citizens and interfere with the state criminal justice process.

Jordan will bellow and howl, pointing to Congress’s rightful power to conduct hearings regarding federal appropriations to states for law enforcement functions. But none of those appropriations include second-guessing Alvin Bragg’s prosecutorial decisions. No longer can Jordan engage in shifting and inconsistent explanations for his effort to rummage through the files of a state prosecution. He must declare his purpose and his goals. In doing so, Jordan and his lawyers will be made to look like the fools they are.

So, Bragg gets an “A” for effort. He had the courage to indict Trump despite delays in other prosecutions and has now shown the chutzpah to tangle with a powerful House committee. Good for him. We need more of what Bragg’s got, not less.

I cannot leave this topic without linking to an essay in The Bulwark by Philip Rotner, Sorry Doubters, But Bragg Was Right to Indict Trump. With apologies to several friends who have written on this topic, Rotner’s essay is the best there is. Read it, and you will be convinced not only that Bragg made the right decision but also that he has a strong case.

Moreover, Rotner makes an unassailable point about those who argue that Bragg should not have indicted Trump on charges that were not “serious enough” to bring against a former president. Rotner responds:

Really?

Anyone who believes that should be honest about it: Just come out and say that certain powerful people are indeed above the law, that the decision on whether or not to indict Trump should have been made based on politics rather than law, and that prosecutorial discretion, in this case, compels turning a blind eye to Trump’s elaborate scheme to cover up blatant violations of election laws by falsifying business records and committing tax fraud.

Count me out.

Well said. Count me out, too, if you believe Trump should be held to a different standard of justice, or that his case must be “airtight,” or that the prosecutor must “be certain he will not lose.” Those standards appear nowhere in the law and should not apply uniquely to private citizen Trump.

Another problem with Judge Kacsmaryk’s ruling is.

I have been chipping away at the various aspects of Judge Kacsmaryk’s ruling that make it so wrong. But it is difficult to know where to begin when an opinion is a judicial confection based on theology rather than law. Two authors have noted a serious (and potentially fatal) flaw in the ruling: the lack of “standing” of the plaintiffs. See Dennis Aftergut and Erwin Chemerinsky, The Hill, Abortion pill issue will show us what this Supreme Court is really made of.

“Standing” is a constitutional requirement that only injured persons can sue for relief in federal court. The requirement ensures that ideologues do not abuse the federal courts by seeking advisory opinions in cases where no litigant is actually injured. And yet, it appears that Judge Kacsmaryk granted relief to parties that do not have standing.

As explained by Chemerinsky and Aftergut, a conservative organization of doctors organized itself in Judge Kacsmaryk’s district in order to bring their lawsuit before him. The conservative organization members did not claim they suffered direct injury from the FDA’s approval of mifepristone. Instead, they invoked a generalized, speculative “stress” on doctors everywhere who must deal with complications from mifepristone:

The judge said that the conservative organization could sue on behalf of doctors because “adverse events from chemical abortion drugs can overwhelm the medical system and place’ enormous pressure and stress’ on doctors during emergencies and complications.”

The plaintiffs presented no evidence to support their fanciful argument of a medical system overwhelmed by a drug that is statistically safer than Tylenol. If the US Supreme Court applies the law to the facts, it should order Kacsmaryk to dismiss the lawsuit for lack of standing. More to come!

A thought experiment about gun deaths.

Charlie Sykes penned a powerful essay about the numbness that overwhelms us as we hear about a seemingly endless stream of mass shootings. See Charlies Sykes, Morning Shots Newsletter, Numbed America.

Sykes writes,

But we have gotten to the point where coverage of one slaughter is interrupted by breaking news of yet another. And our doom loop of thoughts, prayers, debate, and inertia has become numbingly familiar.

Legislators across the country have rushed to protect children from being exposed to books like “My Two Mommies,” and the story of Anne Frank, but not from being blown apart by killers with weapons of war and high-capacity magazines.

Sykes notes that the typical response of politicians like Senator Rick Scott and Ted Cruz is to offer “thoughts and prayers.” Sykes then invites us to engage in a thought experiment:

Instead of talking about the routine slaughter of children and our fellow citizens in schools, banks, nightclubs, and grocery stores, imagine we were talking about terrorist attacks.

Imagine that there had been 145 attacks from members of the Sinaloa Cartel, or that dozens of airplanes had been hijacked and hundreds of passengers killed.

Would Rick Scott merely offer thoughts and prayers? Would Ted Cruz suggest that we need more locked doors? Armored backpacks? More armed guards? More bans on drag queen story hours?

The point of the thought experiment is that if the deaths of innocent school children and coworkers were from a different source than Americans wielding assault rifles, Congress would surely find the will to act. They would not throw their hands in the air and claim the problem cannot be fixed.

Remember that fact next time you hear a cowardly politician claim, “We can’t legislate against evil.” We can. It’s called banning assault rifles and taking guns away from people who are a threat to themselves or others.

To prove that point, Washington state has taken the first step by banning the manufacture or sale of assault rifles: The Hill, Washington state Senate passes assault-style weapons ban. And Tennessee Governor Bill Lee signed an executive order permitting the removal of guns from people who present a danger to themselves or others. See Politico, Tennessee governor calls for law removing guns from dangerous people. (Lee, of course, suffered the loss of a close friend in the Tallahassee shooting last week.)

Let’s hope these steps portend the beginning of a national trend.

Concluding Thoughts.

I highlighted Alvin Bragg’s lawsuit because it shows a willingness to engage on the field of battle that seems missing from the Democratic Party’s usual response to outrageous behavior by MAGA extremists. Engaging our adversaries is important, even if we do not always win.

Dominion Voting Systems and E. Jean Carroll will commence trials against Fox News and Donald Trump for defamation this week. They may win, they may not. But Fox News and Trump will think twice the next time they utter false and defamatory statements. Trump and Rupert Murdoch will be forced to appear in court and endure public scrutiny in a forum where they are not in control.

There are lots of “Alvin Braggs” out there, fighting the good fight every day. Most days, they do so in relative obscurity until it turns out that their “behind-the-scenes” labor has saved us from catastrophe. So, tonight, a tip of the hat to all of you who work every day, in ways large and small, to fortify our democracy. The sum of your efforts is the vital force that sustains democracy on a daily basis! Thank you!

Talk to you tomorrow!

The A.I. Dilemma - March 9, 2023

1,068,586 views Apr 5, 2023 Tristan Harris and Aza Raskin discuss how existing A.I. capabilities already pose catastrophic risks to a functional society, how A.I. companies are caught in a race to deploy as quickly as possible without adequate safety measures, and what it would mean to upgrade our institutions to a post-A.I. world. This presentation is from a private gathering in San Francisco on March 9th, 2023 with leading technologists and decision-makers with the ability to influence the future of large-language model A.I.s. This presentation was given before the launch of GPT-4. We encourage viewers to consider calling their political representatives to advocate for holding hearings on AI risk and creating adequate guardrails.
