Hello 1994, it's 2018. We need to talk.

Hello 1994, it’s 2018. We need to talk.

We are creatures of instant gratification. If it feels good, we tend to do it. Unfortunately, the things that feel good in the here and now, often turn out to be problematic for us in the future. The problem is, we don’t often consider these consequences when we are in the process of making things more difficult for ourselves in the future. For example, just the other day I was talking to my…

Last thing I googled: Metrolink.

Last movie I saw: Stan & Ollie, I think.

Last song I listened to: She’s Always A Woman by Billy Joel.

Other blogs: I still own “charlespencerchaplin” but juggling two blogs and finding/editing/posting original content for both, whilst also working became too hard so it’s been idle for over a year. Idk what I’m gonna do with it.

Do I get asks: Sometimes, about Margaret or requests. I wish I got more though! (Hint) I love answering them.

Why did I choose my username? Cause I love Princess Margaret Roses’ name ♡

How many blankets I sleep with: At the minute, two - duvet and blanket. Sometimes I have another blanket on top if it’s extra cold.

Anything I want: To go on holiday, get a mortgage and a house. And also some cute puppies, cause my bf and I have been talking about getting our own dogs when we live together ♡

CUESTIÓN DE TIEMPO (It’s About Time)

In About Time, Tim (Domhnall Gleeson) learns that he's inherited the ability to travel back and forth in time — and uses the gift to pursue love and a life with Mary (Rachel McAdams).

Murray Close/Universal Pictures

Director: Richard Curtis

Genre: Romantic Comedy

Running Time: 123 minutes

Las películas de viajes en el tiempo suelen tener un final claro a la vista, una situación que debe solucionarse. Marty McFly necesita que sus padres se reúnan; John Connor necesita evitar a Terminators el tiempo suficiente para crecer; los chicos de Hot Tub Time Machine necesitan dejar de estropear el pasado y volver a su ... máquina del tiempo de los spas.

Sin embargo, cuando se eliminan el imperativo y el tictac del reloj, el poder del viaje en el tiempo se convierte en un truco narrativo más sutil. About Time lo utiliza para contar una pequeña historia personal, del tipo en el que un padre sienta a su hijo en su estudio en el cumpleaños número 21 del niño para contarle un secreto familiar. Aquí, es que ambos, todos los hombres de su familia, de hecho, pueden viajar en el tiempo. (No se aborda si las mujeres no heredan la misma capacidad o por qué).

Es un gran problema, claro, pero no es ilimitado. Como explica su alegre padre (Bill Nighy), Tim (Domnhall Gleeson) puede dar un salto cuántico en su propia vida, saltar a un momento de su pasado y luego volver al presente. Al reducir el alcance y definir lo que está en juego en la película, papá le advierte que no use la habilidad para el dinero o el poder (otros parientes lo han hecho, con resultados desfavorables) y que, en cambio, busque lo que realmente le importa. Para su papá, es familia y buenos libros. Para el Tim de ojos brillantes, es amor.

Flaco, bien intencionado, pero no el más suave con las mujeres, Tim usa su habilidad para volver atrás y arreglar lo que alguna vez fue socialmente incómodo. Hay una astucia similar a la de Groundhog Day en las secuencias en las que intenta escapar de la mortificación con una repetición, solo para estropear las cosas por segunda vez. Con un enamoramiento veraniego intimidante (Margot Robbie), la oportunidad de repetir un momento le permite a Tim comprender una lección que, de otro modo, le habría llevado años comprender.

El lento crecimiento de los personajes y las relaciones es el enfoque de la película más que cualquier trama complicada, pero hay una maquinaria compleja trabajando en segundo plano para hacer que el viaje en el tiempo sea coherente, algo bueno, cuando varios personajes pueden jugar con la cronología. Pero la película se toma algunas de las libertades que esperarías de su género y se ajusta a una lógica interna en todo momento.

De hecho, a pesar de todos los florecimientos de la ciencia ficción, la vida se presenta aquí con detalles que se sienten auténticos. Cuando Tim conoce a la amante de los libros Mary (Rachel McAdams), sus bromas coquetas se sienten reales; una palabra mal pronunciada se convierte en una broma interna, y un aprecio común por Kate Moss se convierte en una especie de enrejado de algo en lo que echar raíces y crecer. El proceso de aprendizaje de Tim se dibuja de la manera más humana posible; el guión extrae sus errores (hay muchos) y usos egoístas ocasionales para la comedia.

En Love Actually, el guionista y director Richard Curtis equilibró varios tonos, incluido el sentimentalismo manifiesto y la emotividad más complicada. En About Time, también encuentra una mezcla convincente. La experiencia momento a momento de la vida de Tim viajando en el tiempo se siente tan arraigada, tal vez más, que muchas comedias románticas recientes. El tiempo pasa, Tim madura, su relación se estabiliza y la película se centra en toda la vida, en otras facetas del amor, en cómo los altibajos del envejecimiento afectan a su padre, a su incondicional madre (Lindsay Duncan) y a su pareja. hermana despreocupada (Lydia Wilson). El viaje en el tiempo puede darle a Tim la habilidad única de regresar y tratar de ayudar a amigos y familiares cuando luchan, pero Curtis también explora los límites del regalo y la inevitabilidad del fin de la vida. La única pregunta que queda sin explorar es si Tim podría compartir su secreto con Mary, una omisión que simplifica convenientemente su relación.

Sin embargo, aparte de eso, esta es una película que combina los placeres del género con una narración eficiente y temáticamente resonante y, además, le da a su audiencia una llamada a la acción. About Time is ... about time: Nos pide que reflexionemos sobre cómo todos usamos ese recurso, cómo las horas y minutos que componen un día o una vida se alinean con nuestras intenciones y valores.

Sostiene que la simplicidad de lo mundano es algo que se valora, que el tiempo debe usarse para leer, correr descalzo por la playa, partidos de ping-pong padre-hijo. Presenta el caso con cierta intensidad y es difícil discutir el resultado.

- Andrea A. Caire (Ink Standy)

Battlestar Galactica, Harry Potter, Dragon Age, Mass Effect, writing tips, aesthetics/moodboards, celebrities I like/have crushes on (i.e. Mary McDonnell, Edward James Olmos, Anna Kendrick, Margot Robbie, Meryl Streep, Colin Firth, Tricia Helfer, Lesley-Ann Brandt, Tom Ellis, Ewan McGreggor, Grant Gustin...)

Clayray Closeout 2018

Another momentous year has passed, and I am feeling reflective about my tastes and my year, so once again, clayray is closing out the year. Usually I don’t do this, but this year, I traveled a lot, like A LOT a lot, and I made the move across the country to LA, so before I reflect on my media consumption, here is a list of all the places I went to this year:

January - Baltimore for a baby shower February - San Francisco Sonoma for a wine tasting trip with college friends March - New York City to see musicals April - Las Vegas for PBS TechCon Two days after getting back - Sarasota for Roadshow Less then a week after - Tulsa for Roadshow May - San Francisco for CAAMFest Louisville for Roadshow Literally the day after - LA San Diego for Roadshow June - Detroit for Roadshow Toronto with mom Montreal to see Sarah July - Charlotte to meet up with Colleen and Katy Smoky Mountains for a bridal shower New Hampshire for a wedding September - Moved to LA! October - San Francisco for a wedding Boston Newport for a wedding November - Florida for Thanksgiving

Whew! As you can see, August and December were the only months that I didn’t travel, and that was because August was spent preparing for my big move and in December, my family came to me. What with layovers, I was on 33 flights plus 5 significant buses plus several “road trips” with friends/family, too. And some of these trips were so back-to-back that I barely spent any time sleeping in my own bed!

Now, I’m still in a weird period of transition, but soon enough, I will develop a routine and establish a place here. I moved across the country with no job, no apartment, and very few friends, and it was a humongous change to make. But as scary and hard as it can be, I think I have enough faith in myself that it will all work out and I will be okay. And with that, I’m looking forward to 2019!

But meanwhile, continuing to look back:

Music - Artists

La Luz

Joywave

Jesse McCartney

Younha

Saint Motel

30 Seconds to Mars

Betty Who

The Aces

BTS

Infinite

As always, artists that I saw live are a huge presence in this list: La Luz, Saint Motel, 30 Seconds to Mars, and Betty Who, and technically I was walking up to the venue when Joywave was playing (which I am still bitter about, for the record.) Other artists I saw live this year: MisterWives and Walk the Moon opening for 30 Seconds to Mars, Tamia, Duckwrth and Buyepongo at the Made in LA Festival literally my second day in LA, Gymshorts opening for La Luz, Vincent Vallières and Brigitte Boisjoli and Martha Wainwright and Michel Rivard and Klô Pelgag at the Fete in Montreal, Bleachers, Sara Bareilles at MisCast, Dionysia and Bazmati Vice, Gryffin, and I guess technically I saw Pregnant Boy.

I have been in love with Jesse McCartney since I was 11 and he released new music this year, which I adored (which you will soon see in the Top Tracks), so of course he’s that high up. Similarly, Younha released an excellent album this year and I’ve always loved her. I actually didn’t find Infinite’s album particularly thrilling, but I guess I liked it well enough that I wouldn’t skip their songs whenever they came up.

I had actually listened to The Aces before, but this year was when I really got into them. Their album is stellar and I love their sound and their look!

And as for BTS, my mom’s actually a huge fan and there was no escaping their immense worldwide popularity. I remember when they debuted! It’s great to see how they have grown to be the K-Pop group that has “made it” to the States.

This is the first time in a long time that my all-time favorites like Secret and McFly haven’t been in the top. Secret’s disbandment really hurt, even though we all saw it coming, and I’m still not over it.

Odesza didn’t make it up to the very top, but I also listened to them a lot with my boyfriend. :)

Music - Albums

Younha - RescuE

The Aces - When My Heart Felt Volcanic

Infinite - TOP SEED

Hamilton OBCR

Alexz Johnson - A Stranger Time

Dan Masterson - When Reality Calls

La Luz - Floating Features

Janelle Monáe - Dirty Computer

Eric Nam - Honestly

Anastasia OBCR

Unsurprisingly, my top artists are showing up in the top albums. I was surprised to see that the Hamilton OBCR was so high, but then I remembered that I featured it heavily in my 4th of July playlist that I played during my party. I’ve been fond of Alexz Johnson since Instant Star, even though I didn’t actually watch the show, and my friend Schuyler and I had a bit of a phase reminiscing about that era of “teen show” singers like her and also Drake Bell.

Dan Masterson is, full disclosure, a friend of mine from college, but his album is really excellent, and you should check it out if you’re interested in piano-based singer-songwriter tunes!

What is there to say about Janelle Monáe except that she is a beacon of brilliance, and we are lucky just to be able to witness it.

The other musical on this list is Anastasia, which is one of the musicals I saw this year. I saw it on Derek Klena’s last evening performance, which is actually one of two times that I saw him. I also saw him in Jagged Little Pill at the A.R.T (he is not the best part of that show, though, Lauren Patten’s “You Oughta Know” is hands down unequivocally the showstopper). The other musicals I saw this year were Allegiance, Hello! Dolly, and I saw the Genies’ Jukebox. Not a musical, but I also saw the off-Broadway show Puffs, which was hysterical.

I’m not sure why I didn’t pay attention as much, but Death Cab’s album this year is pretty great. I didn’t love the Arctic Monkeys’ album as much as I wanted to, though they actually just missed being in my Top Artists by 10 listens. Robyn’s album this year was also pretty stellar, but it was released pretty late in the year.

Movies

As always, subjective ranking and not numbers-based.

Won’t You Be My Neighbor? Okay, biased, what with my children’s media thing and PBS thing. Tbh I don’t even like documentaries that much, but this one. I wept. And we really needed this film right now.

Blindspotting I saw this at the Independent Film Festival Boston, with a Q&A with Daveed Diggs and Rafael Casal afterwards, and just wow. This is an incredible tour de force. Brilliantly crafted and visceral and hilarious, too. I know a bunch of people were drawn to it because of Daveed Diggs and his Hamilton fame, but genuinely, he and Rafael Casal’s passion for this film and overwhelming talent shine through in this.

Searching Look, I love love loved Crazy Rich Asians and Asian August and Asian-American women bringing back the rom com. As an Asian-American woman, I have been waiting for so long for this to happen. But I picked Searching because as a film, Searching takes the screen footage tactic, heretofore only really used in horror films, and capitalizes on it to such amazing dramatic and emotional effect. John Cho is fantastic, of course in this very tense and very stressful film.

Black Panther I cannot believe it hasn’t even been a year since Black Panther. Can we start using the term BBP and ABP for Before and After Black Panther? I saw somewhere that Letitia Wright is the biggest box office star of the year, which is fabulous because she is fabulous (and a Disney princess!). The world-building is amazing, the action is amazing, the eye candy is amazing (Helloooooo Michael B. Jordan and Chadwick Boseman and Danai Gurira and Lupita Nyong’o and...you get the point).

Ralph Breaks the Internet I spent a lot of this film marveling at how only Disney could have pulled this off, this massive ambitious bringing together of so many brands and characters and, y’know, the internet. I also enjoy that this is not a romantic love story, and it is a story about love in other ways. Loving your friends and caring for them and respecting them is so important, and dealing with insecurity is as well. This is such a smart movie, and as somebody who cares about children’s media, that is the standard to which we should aspire.

Honorable Mentions: A Quiet Place (Though of the horror films this year, Hereditary and Annihilation were also very good), Madeline’s Madeline for Helena Howard’s performance, I Tonya because um duh figure skating but does not make the list because trying to pass off Margot Robbie as teenage was laughable, Three Identical Strangers

Movies I Want to See But Haven’t Yet: Eighth Grade, Sorry to Bother You, Support the Girls, Widows, Creed II, The Hate U Give, Halloween, Burning, RBG, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Dumplin’ (My roomie’s in it!)

Movies I Should See But Haven’t Brought Myself To Care About: A Star is Born, Mission Impossible: Fallout, Mary Poppins Returns, Green Book, Love Simon, Paddington 2

2020.12.02 EDIT: I was wrong about Paddington 2. It is an incredible film.

Television

Sharp Objects I’ve read the book (and own it somewhere...) but it had been a while, so Sharp Objects did what a good mystery does - even upon a revisit, the things you don’t remember are tantalizing and the discovery of new clues and revelations keep shifting your perspective and giving it a jolt each time. Amy Adams is phenomenal in this (as she always is) and Eliza Scanlen as Amma gives a piercing performance in this.

Queer Eye All of the remakes happening incessantly is tiring and also eyeroll-inducing (it’s cliche but honestly, where are the original ideas nowadays?), but then we get something like Queer Eye. Reality TV gets a hard rap, but with Queer Eye, you get the entertainment factor and also incredibly moving emotional heft as well. Also, I genuinely wonder at how Bobby gets all that house remodeling done and he doesn’t get enough credit for it!

The Haunting of Hill House I love the Shirley Jackson story and also the original movie (I have not watched the 90′s movie and I don’t think I ever will), so my only real gripe with this show is that I wish they didn’t call it The Haunting of Hill House because it really isn’t. But what it is, is a brilliant family drama launching off of the Hill House story. It is captivating and beautiful and spooky, and also the casting of the young kids is impeccable.

Nailed It! Sometimes you just need to guffaw over people’s ridiculous failures. This show doesn’t take itself too seriously and because it embraces the silly, it’s full of heart and joy.

Élite I love foreign teen dramas. I love murder...in my television/movies. Of course I was gonna love this show. But just because it has these two elements doesn’t mean that I automatically was going to think it’s a great show (It does probably mean I would automatically enjoy it, but that’s different). Both of these genres are rife with tropes, but this show takes them and executes them in such a way that it rings true and doesn’t distract from your enjoyment.

Honorable Mention: Memories of the Alhambra only because it’s still ongoing! It’s a brilliant way of looking at technology and combining it with all the elements of a K-drama that you could want. It’s kinda like if a good episode of Black Mirror (because goodness knows that quality varies) combined with a K-drama.

Also of mention are some excellent series that continued this year. I can’t believe I didn’t watch them when they first came out, but The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and Big Mouth are both so so good. Though I have strong feelings about the second season of Maisel and think the Paris bit was just an awkward flex and should have been cut, and the Catskills could have been an entire series of its own. Also, I actually saw Nick Kroll do some readings of all the characters in Big Mouth at the Vulture Festival this year!

In addition to the show-watches-from-the-beginning that I am still working through (Parks and Rec, The Wire, Gilmore Girls, Mad Men, etc.) I’ve also started watching Ugly Betty and Strong Woman Do Bong Soon from the beginning.

There are a few new shows from this year that I really have been wanting to watch but haven’t yet: Killing Eve, Kidding, Homecoming. Mostly Killing Eve for Queen Sandra Oh and also the girl from MMFD!

Okay, whew! That’s enough of that. Where do I even find the time to watch all this stuff??

All the moments you need to see from the 2018 Winter Olympics opening ceremony

While the competition has already started, the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea officially got underway Friday night local time with the opening ceremony.

SEE ALSO: A complete guide to bluffing your way through the Winter Olympics

NBC won't air it in the U.S. for almost another 12 hours, but the rest of the world (and the enthusiastic Americans who were willing to wake up early and stream it) was treated to a sleek two-plus hour ceremony that featured lots of LED lights, tastes of Korean culture, and loads of flags.

Here are a few of the moments that really stood out and are worth keeping an eye out for when NBC does finally air the ceremony later Friday night.

U.S. parties Gangnam Style

As the parade of nations commenced, pop music blared from the speakers at the Olympic stadium, setting a modern-day soundtrack complete with a line of kids dancing along the path nonstop, creating a feeling of a well-behaved party.

And then, because of course, the 2012 mega-super-worldwide smash hit song "Gangnam Style," sung by South Korean superstar Psy hit. It immediately brought back memories of its viral moment, and, in a moment of hilarious coincidence, it accompanied Team USA's entrance.

Adding to the moment, cameras cut to U.S. Vice President Mike Pence, who is not exactly known for letting loose, waving to the team as "Gangnam Style" rang through the stadium.

Tonga Guy is back

Yes, well-oiled Tongan machine Pita Taufatofua is back at the Winter Olympics after his steamy shirtless appearance at the opening ceremony for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio. Taufatofua competed at those Olympics in Taekwondo, but he also took up cross-country skiing so he could participate in these Olympics. He's only the second Tongan to participate in a Winter Olympics.

And he didn't disappoint his fans on Friday, showing up shirtless, despite temperatures just below freezing.

Baller.

Two years on from Rio and @PitaTaufatofua is topless again! 😮 Welcome Tonga to the Winter @Olympics! 🇹🇴 See more on @pyeongchang2018 here: https://t.co/M70cMvG6ul pic.twitter.com/w8IQKpDLgM

— Olympic Channel (@olympicchannel) February 9, 2018

More flag bearer fun

Taufatofua wasn't the only flag-bearer who had some fun on Friday. The team from Bermuda might not have gone shirtless, but they stayed committed to their identity and donned shorts for the ceremony.

Cold air, Bermuda don't care

Speaking of FUN! While it's not unusual for flag bearers to wear different outfits than the rest of their team, Mexico's German Madrazo (a cross-country skier) brought some Mexican flavor to Pyeongchang in what looked like a full mariachi outfit.

Mexico reps strong

But you want true Olympic spirit? How about these fun struts from the Ghana and Jamaica teams? The moments exuded excitement, joy, and just soaking in the moment without getting too serious. Bless.

A United Korea

Not to let things get too silly, the parade of nations also gave us a moment of unity, as North and South Korea walked out as a single, unified team under one flag. The two countries are competing as one for these games, a sign of peace afters years of tense relations.

The Opening Ceremony will air in the U.S. starting at 8 p.m. ET Friday night on NBC.

WATCH: This is how Margot Robbie looked like a master figure skater on 'I, Tonya'
