The movies seem... interesting.

JUNEBUG

Saturday, August 3 (8 p.m. ET/PT) 

Starring: Autumn Reeser (The Wedding Veil), Aaron O’Connell (The Haves and the Have Nots)

When an eight-year-old version of herself starts appearing to her, Juniper (Reeser) begins to realize that her life is not what she had hoped it would be as a child. Young Junebug pushes Juniper to achieve her dreams, to start writing again, and to collaborate with the cute artist Alex (O’Connell) that she recently met to get her life back on track. 

🐞 I feel like this could be really cute. Autumn seems very excited about the project so hopefully that's a good sign.

MY DREAMS OF YOU

Saturday, August 10 (8 p.m. ET/PT) 

Starring: Skyler Samuels (Aurora Teagarden Mysteries), Kapil Talwalkar (Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist)

Grace (Samuels) has recurring dreams about a handsome stranger named Michael (Talwalkar) due to a mix-up in Dream Central.  When they finally meet in person, Grace is shocked to learn he has no idea who she is.

😴 I'm really excited about this casting! Kapil was great in ZEP and it's great to finally see some diversity (Hallmark you're sucking so bad lately with that).It sounds like it could be fun and also a little nutty which I like.

A COSTA RICAN WEDDING

Saturday, August 17 (8 p.m. ET/PT) 

Starring: Rhiannon Fish (My Norwegian Holiday), Christopher Russell (Operation Nutcracker)

A clumsy maid of honor (Fish) gets help from her handsome nemesis (Russell) when things go awry at her best friend’s Costa Rican wedding.

🤵👰 The fact that they even describe her as clumsy... oof. Rhiannon can be hit or miss, especially when they have her play an idiot so often. Her paired with Chris is certainly not helping matters either.

THE MAGIC OF LEMON DROPS

Saturday, August 24 (8 p.m. ET/PT) 

Starring: Lyndsy Fonseca (Nikita), Ian Harding (Pretty Little Liars)

When Lolly’s (Fonseca) Aunt gives her three magical lemon drops, she gets to experience what her life would have been like if she had made different choices and lived those unfulfilled dreams.

🍋... what? I feel like this is code for some hallucinogenic drugs but ok. Love both actors though so I'm interested.

HEAD OVER HEELS

Saturday, August 31 (8 p.m. ET/PT) 

Starring: Rebecca Dalton (Good Witch), Olivier Renaud (Romance with a Twist)

A suburban girl at heart, Addison (Dalton), is off to prove herself in the world of high-end fashion footwear when she lands a life-changing internship at an Upper East Side studio leading up to the star-studded New York Fashion Week.  Addison is determined to hold onto her integrity and her family values while struggling to balance it all and forge a path to success and romance, although she may fall head over heels while trying to make her dreams come true.

👠Yawn.

When Jazz Ramsey (Skarsten) and her crime detection dog Zeus stumble upon an old crime scene, the K-9 trainer, her star pup, and ex-boyfriend and lead detective Nick (Sevier) are thrown into the investigation.

🐶 Excited about this!

For everything there is a season. You made an exception for me. You’re different. For the first time, I feel… See, he has this weakness. He likes you. My superiors have begun to question my sympathies. Your sympathies? I was getting too close to the humans in my charge. You. Dean and I do share a more profound bond. You think I came because you called? I came because this. …well, it’s nice to know what matters. It does help one to focus. I’m sorry, you had me confused with the other angel? The one in the dirty trench coat who’s in love with you? I’m holding up my end. Ah yes, because that’s all you’re holding, huh? See, the stench of that Impala’s all over your overcoat, angel. Thank you for protecting my wife. …your wife? Go ask him, he was your boyfriend first. Why should we give you anything? After everything you have taken from us? The very touch of you corrupts! When Castiel first laid a hand on you in hell he was lost!!! I’m not good luck, Dean. You know what, bottom of the ninth and you’re the only guy left in the bench? Sorry but I’d rather have you. Cursed or not….what? Well, I don’t want to make you uncomfortable, but I detect a note of forgiveness. Yeah, well, we’re probably gonna die tomorrow, so… Well I’ll go with you. Where’s the angel? You’ll find your angel there. Damn it’s good to see you! Nice peach fuzz. I prayed to you, Cas! Every night! I know. You know, and you didn’t—what the hell’s wrong with you? I’m an angel in a land of abomination. There have been things hunting me from the moment we arrived. Join the club! These are not just monsters, Dean. They’re leviathan. I have a price on my head and I’ve been trying to stay one step ahead of them to—to keep them away from you. That’s why I ran. Cas, we’re going home. If the leviathans wanna take a shot at us, let them! We’ve ganked those bitches once before we can do it again. Let me bottom-line it for you. I’m not leaving here without you. Buddy, I need you. Cas, it’s me. We’re family. We need you. I need you. Cas— I know you’re in there…I know you are. I forgive you, Cas. I—[redacted][redacted]. You see, I don’t trust angels. And yet, you haven’t warded this place against us… Oh, I know. You’re hoping Castiel would return to you. I admire your loyalty, I only wish he felt the same way. And after a rousing speech, his true weakness is revealed. He’s in love…with humanity. You gave us order, Castiel. And we gave you our trust. Don’t loose it over one man. The Angel tablet, arguably the most powerful instrument in the history of the universe is in pieces. And for what again? Oh, that’s right. To save Dean Winchester. Oh, that was your goal, right? I mean, you draped yourself in the flag of heaven…but ultimately, it was all about saving one human, right? Clock’s ticking again, isn’t it? So heroic. Running errands all over the US, burning through that rather finite supply of grace all…in a desperate effort, to save your boyfriend. And then you’d kill the angel Castiel now that one—that, I suspect, would hurt something awful. Everyone you know, everyone you love…they could be long dead. Everyone except me. I’m the one who’ll have to watch you murder the world. Dean, stop… I don’t know, I mean, there’s things, people…feelings that I—I, I wanna experience differently than I have before. Or maybe even for the first time. …I’m just starting to think that, maybe there’s more it all than I thought. You wanna know the secret to living a long life? Actually yes I do. Follow your heart. You do that, all the rest just figures itself out. I can see inside your heart, feel the love you feel, except…it’s cloaked in shame. I’m gonna cure you of your human weakness, same way I cured my own. By cutting it out. You blast me away you blast away every angel in the room. I’ll survive. Castiel on the other hand, he’s hurt. He might live or he might just end up a bloody smear on the wall. Do it. Roll the dice…that’s what I thought. I just, uh, wanted to return this… It’s a gift. You keep those. It was under my pillow. He went into my room and he played me!

At the antique store today, I found a Batman comic from 1989. I didn't get it (although I did pick up another from the previous year that has a brief Angry Jason moment), but in the back was a letter page with responses to A Death in the Family and I took pictures. Here's a glimpse of what the 1989 Discourse was around Jason's death:

Some readers approached it in terms of story quality, like Bob U., who wrote a lengthy piece comparing it in quality to a previous story and concluded with

The voting, well, that was rather crass, if you ask me, but all in all, I think the characters stand up, and the pure adventure of it all will be remembered for years to come. You allowed the fans to contribute, and that couldn't have been easy. So thanks, I guess, for a few fun months of Batman and Robin, and what I hope will be some really brutal Dark-night Detective stuff in the months to come.

But other readers, like Rene S., had more emotional investment--in case some rather harsh and uncalled-for hatred of a fictional teenager:

After reading the conclusion of "A Death in the Family," I've only one thing to say: thank you very much for killing off Robin! I never liked the little gnat; he is not even the original Robin! I always thought that Batman looked a little bit silly running around with a fourteen (?) year old sidekick. Now the Batman is restored to his old glory, and I sincerely hope there won't be another Robin for some years to come (although I liked the girl Robin in DARK KNIGHT [i.e. Carrie Kelley], maybe you can do something with that...) Robin is dead, long live Batman!

Mitchell K. had none of that meanness but showed a fan-like interest in alternate endings:

I have been an avid Batman fan since I was a boy, and I just finished "A Death in the Family" series and thoroughly enjoyed it. I voted for Jason to live and was very shocked to see him die, but I was still very impressed with the rest of the story. But I can't help wondering how the story would have gone if Jason had lived. I would like to know if there is any way that DC Comics will ever publish the second ending.

To which the editor replied:

Mitchell, while we understand your curiosity, we have no plans at present to ever publish the "alternate" ending to BATMAN #428. Very few people even at DC have seen those pages, and sorry to say, but that for the time being the material will stay locked up tight in my file.

I hope Mitchell was inspired to create his own version of that ending! (Those top-secret alternate pages have since been glimpsed; they feature Batman holding Jason as he does in the original but exclaiming, "He's alive! Thank God!" and then Jason in the hospital in a coma with his recovery uncertain.)

Alvis S. has an unfortunate story about his thwarted intention to vote for Jason to live:

As I read "A Death in the Family," this time in the Graphic Novel form, I relived the frustration I felt when I read BATMAN #428. Why did I feel this frustration? It could be that on September 15th and 16th, the South Texas area was being threatened by Hurricane Gilbert. At that time, the Phone Company asked that the phone lines be kept clear for emergencies. Maybe my friends and I, who had planned to vote on keeping the late Jason Todd alive, could have made a difference. We made sure we voted on November 7th, though; but this time we have no excuses. What is done is done, but I will miss the effect Jason was having on our hero.

Shon G. was disgusted by the fandom's murderous attitude toward Jason:

It saddens me to see that comic fans are becoming so blood thirsty. I have never seen a character like Jason Todd be disliked so much. Maybe it was because he was no Dick Grayson. Who knows? But I know this: it tells you how far some people will go to get their way. I have also noticed that when a writer terminates a character, most people write in that it was a cop-out. This time it is not the writer's fault directly. It is ours. And it appears that a few people are being quite hypocritical. It is a shame you let us choose, for it is very frightening to know that, if given the chance, people will vote for the death of someone because of dislike. People always seem to miss possible alternatives. That makes us not only ignorant, but also narrow-minded. I am aware that this letter does not apply to everyone, but I wanted to, at least, voice my opinions on this situation. [...] P.S. Whatever happened to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness"? Especially for those heroes who have given us so much--whether we admit it or not.

To which the editor replied:

Voicing opinions is what letter columns are all about, Shon. But I really don't think you give your fellow readers enough credit. Try to keep in mind that Jason Todd was a work of fiction (despite the incredible feelings of angst and finality we all felt as the votes came in [...]). You know as well as I do that if the phone vote was over the life or death of a real-life, living, breathing PERSON, the results would have been a little different. A LOT different.

...would it have been? For someone so apparently hated? Some people can be surprisingly just as cruel with real people as they are with fictional ones.

Similarly, Rob H. is concerned by such attitudes in the fandom:

First of all, let me say that I am not writing to complain about his [Jason's] death, nor am I writing to cheer about it. Personally, I do wish he had survived, although I must admit I wasn't fond of his character after his origin was changed after the Crisis; however, he was still an interesting character. I don't mind the fact that he is dead as much as I mind the manner of his death. The Joker didn't kill him. The readers did. He didn't die for any good purpose that I can see. He died because of some stupid idea to garner some free publicity. Look at all the media coverage it got. If it hadn't been for the phone-in poll, I doubt his passing would have gotten much attention at all. It just seems to me that the only reason he died was to make some money. I am not so concerned about the money aspect of his death, but with many readers' outright joy that he died. The letter column seems to be full of people gloating that they helped kill him. Why are they so overjoyed? They really seem to have hated him a lot. Why? It seems more and more readers are calling for the deaths of characters. In SUICIDE SQUAD, the readers keep pleading for more people to die. In NEW TITANS, readers seem to be calling for Danny Chase to die. What is this obsession with death? Admittedly, these characters are merely fictional, but doesn't this fixation with death seem like a sad commentary upon society? I, for one, like it when the heroes prevail. Sure I like realism in comics, but I also like the escapism. There is enough death and destruction in the world today. It seems to be getting harder to occasionally escape from the madness for even a short time.

In light of the outcome of the vote, it's good to know that there were some people who were disturbed by all that. Sure, it's "just a fictional character" whose death wouldn't matter in the same way that a real person's would, but if a fictional character is ultimately so inconsequential, why was there enough investment to warrant that level of vitriol? I tend to agree with Rob; it's "a sad commentary on society" that readers were so harsh.

Even if it resulted in some fascinating storylines, both shortly after and much, much later.

“I saw God,” Fat states, and Kevin and I and Sherri state, “No, you just saw something likeGod, exactly like God.” And having spoke, we do not stay to hear the answer, like jesting Pilate, upon his asking, “What is truth?”

– Philip K. Dick, VALIS

In February and March, 1974, Philip K. Dick (December 16, 1928 – March 2, 1982) met God. You can read about the meeting in The Exegesis of Philip K. Dick. What Dick called his “divine madness” and inspiration go hand-in-hand, so the familiar sounding God became VALIS – Vast Active Living Intelligence System, which became a 1981 novel in which the narrator Horselover Fat believes his visions reveal hidden truth about life as we know it.

Looking on was cartoonist Robert Crumb, who introduced us to his God in his Book of Genesis. In issue #17 Weirdo (1986), the magazine Crumb created in 19081, the artist narrated and illustrated Dick’s meeting with the supreme being in The Religious Experience of Philip K. Dick.

The story begins with PKD recovering from a drug-aided wisdom tooth extraction. The pharmaceutical delivery girl arrives at his door. She is wearing a golden fish pendant.

In that instant, as I stared at the gleaming fish sign and heard her words, I suddenly experienced what I later learned is called anamnesis—a Greek word meaning, literally, “loss of forgetfulness.” I remembered who I was and where I was. In an instant, in the twinkling of an eye, it all came back to me. And not only could I remember it but I could see it. The girl was a secret Christian and so was I. We lived in fear of detection by the Romans. We had to communicate with cryptic signs. She had just told me all this, and it was true.

For a short time, as hard as this is to believe or explain, I saw fading into view the black, prisonlike contours of hateful Rome. But, of much more importance, I remembered Jesus, who had just recently been with us, and had gone temporarily away, and would very soon return. My emotion was one of joy. We were secretly preparing to welcome Him back. It would not be long. And the Romans did not know. They thought He was dead, forever dead. That was our great secret, our joyous knowledge. Despite all appearances, Christ was going to return, and our delight and anticipation were boundless.

– The Exegesis of Philip K. Dick

REVIEW

Count their Graves by Jennifer Chase

Detective Katie Scott #12

Dark gritty crime scenes and a serial killer on the loose have Katie and team searching for Emily and the murderer that needs to be stopped ~ Couldn’t put this book down!

What I liked:

* Katie: ex-military K-9 trainer & handler, cold case police detective, good friend, leader, puzzle solver, works for her uncle the sheriff, loves her K-9 partner, suffers from PTSD, has many who admire and support her, has relationship status change, eager to find out what happens next * Cisco: Katie’s black German Shepherd K-9 partner who has been with her to war and was discharged into her arms. He’s there for her no matter what, companion to Katie, skilled at his job, loving and protective, helps ground Katie – loved by all, worthy of awards

* Gaven: Katie’s work partner, supportive, good sense of humor, able to read Katie, in a committed relationship, loves Cisco, dedicated, protective, a good man * John: forensic supervisor, ex-SEAL, intelligent, strong, protective, and…mentioned before that he was a potential love interest for Katie… * The plot, pacing, setting, and writing * The police procedural aspects and how the twists & turns were dealt with * That the case was wrapped up without loose ends with the killer and helpers all dealt with

What I didn’t like:

* Who and what I was meant not to like

* The killer and those that assisted in the kidnapping and murders

* The emotional upheaval that Katie experienced in her private and professional life

* The ease with which one character manipulated and maneuvered and the disbelief I had that wise detectives could so easily be taken in

Did I like this book? Yes

Would I read more in this series? Yes

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for the ARC – This is my honest review.

4-5 Stars

BLURB

A wind chime sways a sweet melody above several pairs of shoes neatly laid out on the welcome mat: two large pairs, and three small. On the door frame, a perfect crimson handprint, the color of blood… Out on her morning run, Detective Katie Scott is stopped in her tracks when her service dog, Cisco, alerts her to something. Weaving through the towering pine trees, Katie is horrified to find a little girl alone in the woods, dressed in a white nightgown. The child sobs into Katie’s arms. She’s unharmed, but clearly traumatized. Scooping her up, Katie follows the trail to a large farmhouse. But what she finds there rips the air from her lungs: one, two, three, four bodies laid out side by side, all in matching pajamas. The Banks family were attacked in their sleep, but how had the little girl trembling in Katie’s arms escape with her life? What twisted monster would do such a thing, and why leave no trace but a single bloody handprint on the doorframe? Katie vows to find answers for this sweet child who has lost everything and everyone. Working night and day to piece together why this innocent family were targeted, Katie thinks she has her first lead when she discovers the family were under witness protection. Had they seen something they shouldn’t? Was the aim to silence them forever? Questions are still spinning in Katie’s mind when another family is discovered dead in their beds on the other side of Pine Valley. With the entire department stretched to breaking point with an unprecedented body count and trace evidence stacking up, it’s going to take everything Katie has to track this twisted killer down. But as she closes in on her target, it’s clear someone close to Katie is keeping a deadly secret. How many more innocent lives will be lost before she can bring them to justice? A completely pulse-pounding crime thriller for fans of Lisa Regan, Rachel Caine and Melinda Leigh that will have you racing through pages all night long. Prepare to start sleeping with the lights on after tearing through this gripping thriller from USA Today and Amazon bestseller Jennifer Chase!

Needed something to watch from iQiyi for my commute now that I have a 7-day VIP pass but I've watched all the kBLs on there that I'd like to and I don't want to watch the raunchy Thai BLs I haven't yet watched (Love Sea, Deep Night) on the train. Thus, this Wi Hajoon and Lee Dongwook duo kdrama.

I had this on my watchlist before it was even released actually because I was on a Wi Hajoon binge in fall 2021. Ended up removing it sometime first half of 2022 it seems like because I got spoiled about the characters being [redacted] and wasn’t sure if that’s a trope I liked. But have watched some more Wi Hajoon and Lee Dongwook shows since then, so honestly, I think I’ll probably like it

Ep 1 (Aug 18)

I wonder if him getting drunk and kicking his car and stuff

oh this cop who they're questioning's background kinda reminds me of Beyond Evil Dongshik's dead partner

ohhhh Senior Inspector Ryu Su Yeol, you are working for corrupt bosses and doing their bidding.

I wonder who this side character and what this missing woman side story is

oh, this woman got disappeared

damn, Detective Do is scary as fuck

oh Su Yoel. i know you'll become good in the end but smh in the meantime

omg, I was wondering if the neighbour woman was lying but didn't expect her to set this guy (Kyung Tae?) up like that

well at least it was the Do fucker and not Su Yeol who hired the woman to pretend to be sexually assaulted by Kyung Tae

1:02:00 lmfaooo the editing of the shaking Assemblyman Do when he found out the bear records things is crazy. also does this mean that the Assemblyman was actually behind the woman's disappearance? And that's why his cousin Inspector Do was on the case of her missing + has the footage of her in the grocery shop?

omg... he was soliciting her? and killed her bc she was using her phone?!?! omg... okay, I did think it was a bit strange how good of a relationship he and his wife had + he was being a good father, I'd expect him to be terrible in some way in regards to family just based on tropes since he's supposed to be corrupt Assemblyman. and indeed he's a cheater and a murderer

Kyung Tae's rooftop apartment... did the main character from Death's Game live here too?

holy shit, much more violent than I expected

oh, I see. I waslike how did Su Yeol's ownself lead him to Kyung Tae's place, not like he'd know he was in danger but I guess he wanted to subconsciously apologize

K finally takes off his helmet

Man, it's Sunday night, and I've gotta go to sleep but in a different world, this would be so fun to binge.

Ep 2 (Aug 19)

damn, the teddy bear camera didn’t even have anything incriminating? and Kyung Tae is lying in the hospital like that smh

ohhh was that van used to cremate Yuna’s body? and they were planning on cremating Kyung Tae’s as well after the fire?

it’s so sad that we know Yuna’s dead and won’t be found even while the kid and others search for her

eughhhh they fucking framed Kyung Tae? I was wondering what was happening with Im Beom standing beside Kyung Tae’s bed if not to kill him

ahh so Ryu Su Yeol just accepted Kyung Tae as the murderer and got promoted to captain

murdered cop Minsu’s secret informant Yuna who was also murdered.

Ah, I wish I was binging this, these cop-mystery shows are always like “I gotta know what happened”

hmmm I don’t think Assemblyman knew that Yuna was related to Minsu investigating whatever when he killed her bc that seemed like a drunken accident where he thought of Yuna as his mistress or whatever

omg he found the necklace and incriminating evidence, wonder if he can actually use it now or if it’ll also be stolen away somehow because we’re only on ep 2. or maybe the show will have smaller villains and story arcs that last 2-3 episodes?

Su Yeol was gonna throw the necklace away into the river?! bro have some integrity omg

ah, the K and Su Yeol being the same person thing is revealed by ep 2, the end of the first week. When I’d first heard the spoiler, I’d thought it was one of the climax reveals.

Ep 3 (Aug 19)

him keeping memories of her and passwords being her birthday lol i enjoy exes to lovers

oh Su Yeol is “a foundling” not biologically related

a drug ring aspect. maybe this is what minsu was trying to figure out

Is the drug lord a NK defect? idk if the way they’re portraying her is… frowned upon but i do enjoy her demeanour and actions and the way she holds herself

oh naur assemblyman is ruining Su Yeol. you let him know you’re onto him way too early with that violence, ma

ah, pathetic begging Su Yeol. at first I was like maybe he's putting on an act but idek now, he's really losing everything i guess + it's affecting his mother

are they gonna have Su Yeol be in charge of the "delivery service" for their drugs? Is the alcohol that Su Yeol's drinking drugged?

I started this to watch on my commute, especially after the first 3 eps so that I can watch after downloading on iQiyi vip but I'm not commuting to work tomorrow, so I don't need to download the episode tomorrow... man, if I watch most of this show without the VIP, what will I even watch with VIP?

Ep 4 (Aug 19)

Episode 4 and yet Ryu Su Yeol is still a bastard who's handing over Kyung Tae, oh man. he's gotta be faking at this point right? there's a plan?

ookay they have a plan

we're only halfway through episode 4, what's gonna happen for the rest of it? the drug people? whatever Minsu was after? Yu Gon trying to get out of jail?

pls him as K donated all his (bribery) money

Ep 5 (Aug 20)

I should have suspected the Narcotics Team Leader fr, oof

I kinda wish we didn’t know so much of the actual crime beforehand, like we knew about Yuna’s murder and now half the Narcotics team. If there’s no mystery and we as rhetorical audience know a whole lot of what’s going on way before the main characters know, it gets frustrating waiting for them to catch up and seeing them be thwarted

Ep 6 (Aug 20)

I’ll be honest idk all these names and faces of side characters and who’s involved with what, so i’m just going on vibes. is the guy who the other guy thought called to tell Su Yeol about Min Su actually the other cop?

ah, they’re Russians. I was like what language are they speaking?

Chan Gi is seriously so annoying why are you now hitting Su Yeol and breaking your phone dumbass

Ep 7 (Aug 20)

i love exes to lovers, Su Yeol coming to Hui Geum’s house and the familiarity

oh they’re making out now

Ep 8 (Aug 21)

different tone and mystery then the first 7 episodes

Ep 9 (Aug 21)

this parent having alzheimer’s thing and their relationship should affect me more, maybe if I was watching at once on my laptop vs here and there on my phone. + idk if lee dongwook’s acting here evoked more emotions in me

this is a very different show now than how we started

I like that at least right now, we're not super ahead of the answers to the mystery the way we were with the previous cop criminals. We're finding stuff about as the characters are figuring stuff out.

I hope Su Yeol really had killed Junho's father in their murder pact. Not a fakeout.

Ep 10 (Aug 21)

yeah, been guessing it was indeed the shelter therapist despite him being ruled out earlier on. i had a small confusion where I thought this man was somehow old enough to have treated people in 1999 because of the files they were going through but ig they were just files of the shelter, not the therapist files.

Ep 11 (Aug 22)

frustrating in a good way I guess since Yunho is always a few steps ahead

Ep 12 (Aug 22)

somehow i wanted the defeat of Yunho to be more satisfying, to see some of it but Su Yeol was asleep for it all it seems

Boss Yong is so cool and brutal, I’m happy she got her revenge even though it felt like The Eye’s existence in the show changed halfway through lol

Overall:

Fine but did not make me feel much and is not going to stick with me the way other shows by these actors have. The first couple of corrupt cop investigations was fine but a bit annoying because we seemed to know everything far in advance to the characters finding out. The second half with Yunho was more interesting in some ways because we also did not know and it was like psychological tricks basically but I wish the ending was more satisfying somehow. Like everything is wrapped up nicely but Inwouldve liked it see it. Nothing super wrong with it but I could’ve just kept it off my watchlist and I wouldn’t have missed much.

Rating: 6/10

Media Thread Vacation Megapost!

Yo, so I went to travel for a month to visit my fam, and I went thru a LOT of media in that time. Since a lot of them were small reviews, I decided it's better for me to just upload the small ones into one big post rather than spam like 11 different posts rn. So, I hope you enjoy!

(This is ordered by when I experienced it btw)

The LEGO Batman Movie (2017)

1/2 Movies I watched on my flight to visit my family. Honestly, I think the original Lego Movie was better. It definitely had some fun parts but tbh I feel like it was phoning it in a bit more with this one, along with kinda relying on the big IP characters more than playing on them. Robin was peak tho.

Now You See Me 2 (2016)

2/2 Movies I watched on my flight to visit my family. How the fuck did I not watched this movie series until now. It's got magic, it's got noble thieves, it's so fucking great. MS/HS me woulda loved this.

Eureka Seven (2005)

God damn, this may have been the slowest burn I've had from a show ever, but the ending was pretty fucking good. Renton was kinda ehh, but everyone else was good. DOMINIC AND ANEMONE ARE PEAK.

Deadpool and Wolverine (2024)

What a fucking blast of a movie. That shit was really fun to watch, and may have had one of the best opening sequences I've seen in forever. It went a bit too hard on the whole Disney/Fox/Marvel thing, but it definitely did feel like it was more an homage to Fox Marvel movies in the past 20 years. (And of course Deadpool would be the one to pull Wolverine back, because of fucking course)

Blade Runner (1982) (Rewatch)

Altho I don't note media I've experienced before, this was with a group of friends and I was rewatching so I can prepare for 2049, and man. It's just fantastic. I don't know how else to describe it. Like I wish I could describe more, but all I can really say is that the movie is just incredible. The atmosphere and the experience is just all actual kino. Hope you had a great birthday, Sorel.

Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017)

God this feels like a Nickelodeon TV movie and I mean that in the best way possible. You shouldn't take it seriously, but it's just straight fun and also REALLY cool. Elton John is quite possibly the high point in the movie.

Bladerunner 2049 (2017)

This one is getting its own post.

La Chimera (2023) (Unfinished)

2/4 movies I watched on my flight back home. I'm not gonna lie I just clicked on this without knowing what the movie is about because the cover and title looked cool. I was kinda liking it due to giving me a bit of nostalgia of the types of movies I'd see on TV back home or the movies my parents would watch, but idk if it was me being tired or just disinterested but it couldn't really hook me in fully. Maybe once I find out more about the movie I'll actually go finish it, but for now this is where we part.

Murder on the Orient Express (2017) (Movie)

3/4 movies I watched on my flight back home. RAAAAAAHHHHH I LOVE MURDER MYSTERIES I LOVE HAVING THE SUSPENSE AND MYSTERY OF TRYING TO FIGURE OUT A CLOSED ROOM CASE RAAAAHHHHHH. god i wish i was good at solving them tho. Btw the ending is both really fucking funny and also really fucking moving. GOD I NEED TO READ SOME AGATHA CHRISTIE I'M A FUCKING POSERRRR.

Detective K: Secret of the Living Dead (2018) (Unfinished)

4/4 movies I watched on my flight back home. Really funny movie, altho it did feel a bit slow and some of the gags did feel a bit overplayed, might be a cultural difference tho. I was enjoying it but unfortunately I couldn't finish it before the flight had ended, so a full review will have to wait until another time.

Nyan Neko Sugar Girls (2010)

I really hope it's not the rabies…

September Reads

Hi! Everyone, this month I read 7 books most of them romances but also two mysteries and a book about numbers. Many of these books were funny and most had amazing plots. Let’s Start to see them, as always you can ask any questions or read the Goodreads pages that I provide:

People We Meet on Vacation (Emily Henry): I love all the books of these author as you can see, I read in just two months and I love her complex characters and situations. It was fun to see the past in some of the chapters and the present in all the others and the vacations the two protagonists have gone together from Canada to Mexico and other exotic places and how that helped them to learn about one another.

Happy Place (Emily Henry): Of all Emily Henry’s this was the one I loved the most because I thought it was remarkable how she threaded the past and the present between two people who still loved each other but thought their future together was over. I liked that I got to see how they started to how they got there. I loved all the couples and the lives they started together and how close they still got. But, at last, I felt many of the emotions and the problems in this one.

On What Grounds (Cleo Coyle): Clare Cosi was a remarkable amateur detective in this one, and so is her ex-husband Matt. The mystery is the first in the series of Coffeehouse mysteries by Cleo Coyle in the Blend, a coffeehouse in New York. It starts when one of the employees is found dead in the basement of the store. It has it all from recipes for coffees to good characters and fun detective officers.

Hallowe’en Party (Agatha Christie): A classic Hercule Poirot about a country house, a party, and of course a village full of secrets. I thought I was going to see the adaptation of it with Kenneth Branagh, but in the end, I didn’t. The book was good, a little scary in some parts, a little fantastic in others but also really good and clever in others, especially in the end because you can’t see the victims coming or the secret couple of killers in the end.

The Secret Lives of Numbers (Alfred S. Posamentier): It was mathematical as it is about numbers and had many equations, which is why I took many months to finish it. But it has many fun facts about the numbers from cultural to relationships between them. It was engaging in some parts and helpful about the mathematical relationships as it has many diagrams to help you understand it better.

Fling (Joseph Murrey): That was a really fun book about a couple who disagrees as they are in different plans about the fourth IVF and if they are going through with it. The book is about how they both match in an app about cheating and reconnecting with it. It was remarkable as most of the romance books I read had to do the start of a relationship but in this one, the characters had a complicated history before I started reading this amazing book.

The Book Proposal (K J Micciche): That was a complicated book for me as I liked the plot about the romance author and her unrequited crush from high school and the complex characters, I started to see in it. But, I took time to connect with this one as I didn’t see where the plot was going. Also, it was as though I was reading two books in one as the writing of the book the protagonist was writing in the middle of the chapters. In the end, I liked this one but it was a bit add for me.

This was for this month. And again if you have connections, please ask.
