So I went to an early screening for the first two episodes of the Percy Jackson show yesterday (Saturday), and let me just say, it is 100% the adaptation we deserve. It was amazing. Once it ended, I wanted more.
The characterizations were amazing, any changes there were made sense and made the situation more realistic and added tension, the story was straight from the book, it was just amazing.
I went with my mom and she, who doesn't know the books, really enjoyed it. I asked her how she liked it (literary just the first two episodes) compared to Harry Potter (which i had her watch a few years back), and she said there was no contest. She likes the pjo show much more. She said it was engaging and even had her wanting the next episode once it was done.
Everyone needs to watch this show. It was amazing. It lives up to the hype. We need to make sure it gets greenlit for season 2.
#oc it's not perfect#there is one (1) critique i have but tbh it's not a super big deal and could very well be rectified in future episodes#but other than that it was absolutely amazing#the whole theater was clapping at iconic moments and it was a great experience too#once we got home i made my mom rewatch the lightning theif movie with the new context so that she could see what weve had to live with#she hated it lol and she doesnt even know the amount of inaccuracies bc she hasnt read the book#she said it's just a bad movie in general and she's right lol#anyway the show was AMAZING everyone make sure to watch it as it comes out so that they greenlight S2#riordanverse#rick riordan#percy jackson show#percy jackson tv series#percy jackon and the olympians#percy jackson#annabeth chase#grover underwood#pjo series#pjo show#percy jackson disney+#pjo disney+#pjo#no pjo spoilers

that post abt going to see movies in movie theaters is very correct but like. you people arent putting your phone down and paying attention when you watch a movie at home?? its not an experience for you to watch a movie at home???
#im sorry im movies georg adn an outlier and should not be counted. ive been watching a movie almost every single day for most of my life#how has this made me turn out? well-#but the point even watching movies as regularly as i do i dont understand putting on a movie to not be Involved in the experience#like why are you watching it then!!! thats not watching it!!#you dont get excited abt watching movies at home???#anyway.#adding onto my tags to say yes i get one of the important parts of seeing a movie in a theater is also being with a group of people#but the paying attention and getting immersed in a movie part like you people don't do that at home????

Sonic symphony was fun if I ignore the fact that my parents were with us and being absolute killjoys
Had a blast singing along to the songs, watching the video presentations for the orchestral movements (two new ones were added for our showing!!!) and just being there. Wish I could repeat the experience but change a couple of *ahem* details but alas, I think I should prioritize getting my own place instead
Bonuses:
Nobody was able to see my cool socks :(
Was getting the stare down while eating lunch
#personal#sonic symphony#it was good but it would have been a better experience for me and my sisters without my parents#they announced the last song and played i'm here revisited (my favorite version)#then when the applause was going on and the theater was still dark my parents told us it was time to leave#then they started playing can you feel the sunshine while we waited for my dad in the bathroom#there was coincidentally a pride event going on yesterday in Orlando and my parents kept making all these negative comments#my [homophobic] dad: why did you have to pick this day for the concert? me and my sister: we didn't KNOW#oh and my mom was reading a book during the show#but looked up when Mephiles showed up during all hail shadow#so she asked in the car ride home about that#I described 06 as a piece of work and that that guy wasn't Shadow but a being that took on his form#cuz she described it as Shadow fighting himself but he wasn't him and he went nuclear#I ain't gonna break down the complicated mess that is the plot of 06 or that that was a severed half of a deity to my parents#ESPECIALLY since I have drawn said deity#he is two notes away from 30 tho and there's a couple of reblog tags that I enjoyed :)

Had to leave 2001: A Space Odyssey in the final ten minutes because I was literally getting muscle cramps from having to plug my ears for the monolith music.
I'd been trying to get through to the end because I knew the movie was nearly over, but when there was a brief pause, and then the music started again, I tagged out.
Let me say this before I say anything else: This movie is a masterpiece of the highest order.
But also, I get why 16-year-old me was fucking BORED, and I get how someone watching it as an adult could be fucking BORED. Because I was sitting there going, "Okay, this has all been very nice to look at, but I feel like I'm on film number 3 with HAL here, and I know where THIS part goes, but I'm gonna need a thru-thread to justify this fucking thing."
And then the thru-thread happened.
And holy shit.
My only recollection of watching this movie back when I was 16 (I remind you, I am 41) is some very well-known shots of Dave and Hal, and also many recreations of The Dawn of Man sequence in various pop culture ways (the Barbie movie being the latest in a long line).
I think it's especially impressive, watching it now, how little screentime HAL actually has and how I felt so bad about what happened to him. A computer, built by men, is possibly fallible one time. And so two humans decide they'll need to take away his intelligence because it's a life or death situation. Even the human who seems to see HAL as a possible sentient intelligence doesn't try to talk to him about his concern. When it comes down to it, the two humans decide to harm the computer that's kept them alive so far, may have (only MAY HAVE) made one minor mistake, and has tried to be friendly with them (HAL wanting to see Dave's drawings kicked me in the ribs).
And then, when you see Haywood's recording to explain why they're going to Jupiter after Dave has brought HAL off-line so deeply that it triggers as a last-ditch effort explanation to the astronauts in case HAL has failed but the ship is still usable, you realize HAL was trying to give Dave a hint about the secret he was being forced to keep when he asked Dave if he'd noticed how ODD the security around their journey was.
But also, HAL--upon realizing the astronauts plan to harm him--immediately seeks violence. But that also reflects the Dawn of Man era where we see the first tool use being to smash bones. HAL is as human as the first human to pick up a bone and smash it down.
And what saves man is the use of simple tools a computer program can't replicate or control.
#2001: a space odyssey#classic film#movies with a soundtrack that make me go panicky#i will be able to watch it at home because i can control the volume#but that's a big no to any other theater experience

since 2022 is almost over i’ve been thinking about all the movies i watched this year and man, nothing really compares to watching elvis in the theaters. the only other movie i had gone to see during covid at the time was no time to die the year before (since it was daniel craig’s last bond film) and prior to that i hadn’t gone to see a film in the theater since knives out came out in 2019. i’ve loved baz lurhman ever since i was old enough to watch moulin rouge, so i kind of figured i’d like elvis but man, i never expected to care so much about a film like elvis the way i do. and not only that, but the experience itself. the sheer fucking spectacle of this film is one that i don’t know will ever be surpassed for me, because i saw this film eight times in the theater and wondered if it would ever fail to meet the expectation set by that initial viewing, and it never did. not once. it was good every. single. time. i sat in just about every row you could think of and it was not only consistently good, it almost surpassed itself with every subsequent viewing. in 23 years i can’t think of a single movie that has ever made me feel that way. what elvis accomplished is nothing short of miraculous in every way imaginable. i’ve talked about how elvis as a film made me care about a man that only ever existed as a fixture of rock n’ roll music, another name for the history books, a name that mattered in the context of music my folks grew up listening to more than i did. a movie carried on the shoulders of a relative unknown compared to every other major musical biopic to come out in the last few years (bohemian rhapsody and rocketman bolstering far more recognizable star power in rami malek and taron egerton respectively), a name that i hope will go on to even greater heights as a result of his performance and his work ethic. a movie that has given me an experience unlike any other before it, one that i try to relive every time i watch it on my own. a movie that will always be one of the greatest experiences i’ve ever had the privilege of seeing on the big screen.
elvis 2022 man. elvis 2022.
#to further illustrate my point: i went and saw avatar the way of water in theaters this week#which i saw in 3D#and yeah it was definitely a cool experience#but it was nothing like elvis#the sequel to one of the highest grossing films of all time in one of the most immersive worlds on the big screen#and it will never compare to the feelings elvis made me feel as a film#i genuinely don't know if i'll ever experience anything like it again#and honestly? i don't need to#would it be nice if i did? sure#but i'm not going to go looking for it#i don't need anything to be the next elvis 2022#it would defeat the point i think#i just want to remember that movie for what it was and continue to relive it every time i sit down to watch it#even if i'm sitting at home on my couch#lion.txt#and if you think i'm emo about it now just wait until we get further into awards season lmao#i will have Things To Say for sure#elvis 2022#austin butler#elvis presley

I've been reading and watching some reviews of Oppenheimer and am shocked at the way some people don't seem to be able to connect to characters who are a little bit closed off and inwardly complicated.
This is a film you need to bring your own empathy to. It isn't actively provoked and drawn out of you.
Which, given that it deals with the construction of the Atomic Bomb, I think is something that should be self explanatory. If you go into making this thinking "Oh I will make people feel so bad about the bombs" you're already headed in the wrong direction. It's not the question whether or not it's bad. The question is whether or not you realize it's bad when no one tells you outright how to think about it.
This movie is incredible for doing this.
#oppenheimer spoilers#oppenheimer#also it is very much not impartial or distant or anything like that#there's razor sharp opinions in the details; the script is fucking amazing#they just don't jump in your face with it; you gotta notice for yourself#I see in this movie a tiredness of needing to discuss baselines of human decency#'if you cannot recognize for yourself that constructing a bomb like this is horrible then I have no patience to discuss it with you'#is a sentiment I felt very hard throughout the whole thing#people paying attention to it will notice the affirming details#and it's a delight how simple it is in terms of many other things#it's amazing how good Nolan becomes when he's not trying to make another gimmick movie for once#I had so much fun in the theater and it was horrible#how can you have fun knowing what it all means#incredible experience. pretty upsetting. I cried on the way home#can recommend it for people who are a little bit tired of flashy emotional symphonies in movies#and for people who like to start analyzing and reflecting while the film is still running#and honestly for people who like pretty movies#because honestly this movie was very very beautiful in the best oldschool simplistic way#(maybe slightly tasteless side note: Cillian Murphy would make an amazing Frankenstein)#(pathetic wet rat of a man (tragic and unhinged variety))

You sent me an ask so I shall return the favor! What is the most recent Kpop group you’ve gotten into and how did you find out about them? I always love hearing fan “origin stories” lol
Thank you for returning the favor~ That would be The Boyz 🥰💖 I love hearing fan "origin stories" too hehe (This is gonna get long I love them sm)
Anyways I've known about them since debut? I loved Bloom Bloom Pow with my whole heart when it came out and tried to fall for them then- It didn't work. The next time was when The Stealer (TS) came out~ I had watched them perform for Road to Kingdom- because ptg was on the show too- But I really loved TS cb- sm so that I bought the album about 6 mos later with my favorite members as inclusions at the time (Eric, Kevin and Hyunjae). But nothing came about of it even after watching the weekly idol episodes... Then came Whisper era and I ended up biasing Changmin (Q) and loving that song but again nothing came out of it.
(A little backstory is that Changkyun (I.M) got me into Dominic Fike's music-) Thus, when tiktok showed me Juyeon, Changmin, and Sunwoo dancing to Babydoll earlier this year as a dance cover: I fell. And then I finally checked out Watch It~ But Hui had his solo and it distracted me completely from falling further. Then I had gotten sick and decided 'well, what if I watch their content?' And I did... I watched their hello82 interview and their reaction to fanart of them, and lastly their mafia dance. And I loved each sm that I decided to check out more.
It was the first time I had watched their content and wanted to see more. And now, I watch their content almost daily. It's kind of like they revived the joy of kpop for me? My (old) ult of ults has been on hiatus due to the military so it's been stagnant content lately for me. But then they came in like a breath of fresh air- and I simply can't get enough. This month will be 3 mos and I honestly hope I'll follow them for a long time. (I think they're my new ult of ults tbh)
And lastly now here I am as a Younghoon and Juyeon bias (with bias wrecker: Changmin... he's doing everything to be bias again). And with them having a comeback I loved with my whole heart this past month, I think it really solidified them with me. Honestly, I'm so happy with them.
#my 'fan origin story' hehe#lovely mutuals#asks#kate rambles from here#i even started a new kpop journal just dedicated to them and my thoughts- it's a 200 page journal and i have nearly 50 pages about them#and i started it in february ebhbha-#it's so funny because i saw one of my ults' concerts in theater the month before they should have became the ult of ults and here tbz comes#if the theory is true that you fall in love with certain people/groups/things at certain time then that means even when#i wanted to fall in love with them- that i had to wait until now to fall for them even if i wanted to fast forward it- i think now is a#perfect time- it's when i need them most i think- and fuck i could go on about them forever and why they mean sm to me in such little#time but oh how i love these guys-#no seriously everything i wish they could do- i find out they've done or will do- or for like pcs i like them a certain way and by golly#does yh do my favorite poses- and their music is just ?!?! i love it sm- ofc i've listened to them before a lot but ?? it's my speed rn#kate rambles#did i drag my close friend into them too? yes- yes I did- but she had full free will- she could have stayed on the happy mbb boat instead#of jumping into the water and swimming to lip gloss island with me- but alas she didn't so it's even more fun cause i get to be a new#deobi with her- and it's literally the best experiance i could have ever asked for- she prolly won't see these (i'm banking on it) and#honestly i'm so thankful for her- for joining me in this 'insanity' we've gotten ourselves into- i'm glad we were both stolen from our mbb#home together- it's sm fun to talk about tbz with her- because she's experiencing them new just like i am- i could go on here too#but i won't- so i'll stop here- i love these boyz sm tbh (every time i say it even if it's a lot- it doesn't feel enough)

im gonna get like 0 sleep LOL. i told my dad about me buying the tickets because i easily fall victim to my confessional urge and my insatiable need to be understood and he’s freaked out and trying to get me to have someone else go with me or something because it’s dangerous. but i don’t WANT anyone to go with me. i want to do this by myself.
#purrs#i will take an Uber to and from the theater which is very scary bc ive never ubered by myself before. but i will do it#i need to get it through my head that my parents aren’t going to change their stance on things .in their eyes it is never got ng to be safe#or acceptable for me to do anything big alone because im small and naive and a woman. but i need to live and have human experiences and do#things like this to show myself and everyone else that i can. lol#ngl im very very scared. i am constantly aware that i could be in danger at all times. but i want to do something scary and survive it and#discover it’s safe instead of what i almost always do which is let the fear keep me from even taking a risk. from even living.#< and im aware that an unfamiliar city far way from home where i don’t know anyone is a significantly more dangerous environment.

its important to go see a low stakes concert sometimes
#as in seeing someone in concert youre not an absolute nutbag about (as i have done this year and last year)#but last night me n my dad went and saw renaissance on their farewell tour#running on like 4 hours of sleep and seething to be at work right now#or rather i would be seething if i weren't so tired#new anger management hack: just get less sleep so your senses are dulled! anyway#funniest part of the night was the multiples times when my dad who is old was like 'everyone here is so old :/'#he was literally like 'if i ever get like these people just shoot me' LMAO#the concert was good i wouldn't call it like great or fantastic but such is the beauty of a low stakes concert#youre not living and dying on every song youre not singing along to everything youre just. enjoyin the show normally which is crazy#again as someone who has seen two bands (both bands two separate times and is seeing one of those bands a THIRD TIME soon) im crazy over#that experience is fun its bonkers and you definitely gotta do it for the bands youre crazy over. you gotta#but it was nice to just. have a regular time at a show#as far as the show itself there were a few little moments where things didnt go as smooth but that may have been bc it was the first show#and save for a few moments in some songs annie haslam knocked it out of the park she can still sing as insanely good as she used to#again some parts of songs were in a lower key? but most seemed to be the same and she was still hitting those bonkers high notes#so good for her. the band was pretty good but i felt they really only like all worked together well on a few songs#if that makes sense. but overall pretty good#and my anxieties about getting there and back were unfounded bc somehow it all worked. yay#our car service trip home was in a tesla i felt like i was gonna die the entire ride home lol#i am NEVER getting in one of those stupid cars again. big ass ipad as your dashboard this is insane???? im so scared???#anywho. old musicians are forever as ive been saying lately. and they really are#oh also we were at the town hall which is a nice small theater i was worried abt bein too far away but it's laid out really well#in that you're sure to get a pretty good view of the stage#it seems like half the size roughly of the beacon for whatever thats worth#OH i did see one dude somewhere in the audience with a sparks shirt so. hashtag represent#yet another concert report. yayyyyy#(im so tired)
