I just picked a few random off Wikipedia with no background knowledge. I already watched Bright Young Things.

I watched the movie Dead Long Enough yesterday. Didn't expect that kinda movie to be honest 😅 The only Character I saw before watching was Harry Jones so it was quite surprising to find out its a comedy romance in a 'modern' world (I mean it's still an old movie but I never expected a world with cars or electricity) 😂 Even if it was confusing to me I kinda like it. Michael Sheen did a great job like always!

About the whole NG thing, two things I want to say: I haven't read the article yet, I intend to read it in the near future but I need to be in a Good Mood and take care of myself first.

But I know the trigger warnings. I have an idea. And when I first saw them I only could think "this is so much worse than everything I could have imagined". I haven't been in touch w the news since August I think, when I stopped interacting w the GO fandom bc I lost interest, but in my mind there were only the allegations of only two women. I always believed and will believe and support the victims, but sincerely I didn't know what to expect when more information came out, and this is so much worse. I was staying in the edge bc of the lack of information, and given that I only started reading his work last year, I wasn't really involved w him.

I know there are some ppl saying that the news have been around long enough to process the information, but this is not what I was prepared for at first. And I'm genuinely scared of reading the article bc I really don't know how much worse it can be. How monstrous he is, how much did his victims suffer. I want to cry only thinking about it.

I know I won't be able to separate his work from the article once I read it, so I want to be prepared first.

And the thing is, I don't even like him all that much. I didn't grow up reading his work, he didn't have a strong impact in my life (except for the Coraline movie that was released when I was still a child, but that's the only one). But he is the first and only writer that caught my attention that wasn't dead half a century ago. I've always read classics, and I'm actually quite tired of not having any modern literature I can enjoy. I didn't grow up reading Harry Potter or Percy Jackson. I don't have any books in common with my reader friends.

And he was the first I really wanted to read, and I was starting to discover his work when the first news came out. But time has passed and somehow, even if I don't read *his* books, he's involved one way or another with absolutely everything I kinda like rn. And it's a lot. Bc of Good Omens I discovered David Tennant and Michael Sheen, and now they're my favourite actors, then Doctor Who and Sandman and DBDA, and even if it's not bc of him, that doesn't quit the fact that he's involved with the story. I'm genuinely thinking of becoming an actor and he is part of it. Even if GO is also written by Pratchett, even if there's a lot of people who aren't like him in the creation of Sandman, even if dbda is Steve's creation, even if he only wrote two or three Who chapters, he's everywhere. How can he be literally everywhere.

I can appreciate a good piece of art, and I can enjoy it till some point even if I know there's a bad story behind it, but I know not everyone is like this. And I don't mean separate the art from the artist. I mean having in mind that a horrible person can do meaningful art. And I know that apparently there are much more ppl he hurted, and I can only think how would it be for them. Knowing that you can't really escape from his name. Knowing that he's so "important" that some people will support him no matter what. It's horrible, really.

Maybe I'm only interacting with the media he's involved with, but that doesn't make it any better, bc I can't believe I only connect deeply with art corrupted by his name on it.

I'm deliberately not doing any GO or Sandman art, bc I know that's promoting his work and he still can gain from it, but even if dw and dbda have nothing to do with him, I can't stop thinking that maybe he's still involved enough w it that somehow he's still gaining smth from it... Idk.

I don't know what to do, actually. I think no one does. I know I didn't felt the betrayal that all the fans of his work felt. I know we should shut the fuck up about the discussion of his work and focus on the victims. I know some people will disagree with me and say I shouldn't enjoy something bc that's supporting a monster. I really don't want to support him, but he's even where he shouldn't. What the fuck.

I think only now I'm starting to realize why he's such a disappointment for everyone. He really was an important artist in the industry. He really inspired a lot of good people. His work really was meaningful and was an escape for a lot of people who suffered a lot. People who suffered as much as he make his victims suffer. It's ironic, really.

Idk, I just wanted to write it down. Everyone is dealing with it in their own way...

I want to watch more Michael sheen but don’t like sex or sad endings, and can’t find anything he’s done that seems to fit that :(

Oh I feel you anon!

Of the stuff I’ve seen, I can recommend you Music Within (has some sad stuff in the middle but ends up in a happy note :’) I also adore that movie with my entire being dkfjhgkfg), Home Again (didn’t love it but Michael looks fluffy and soft), There’s Something About Movies (tho that’s not a movie or a series, it’s a game show, but you can see him acting some sketches and things), Dead Long Enough (I don’t have a link for that one, sorry :P )...

I’m sure there’s a bunch of other movies and TV shows he has been in with happy endings and that are not focused solely on sex like MoS, but those are the ones I’ve seen ;)

The Martian - Andy Weir

Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he’s sure he’ll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive—and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. Chances are, though, he won’t have time to starve to death. The damaged machinery, unforgiving environment, or plain-old “human error” are much more likely to kill him first. But Mark isn’t ready to give up yet. Drawing on his ingenuity, his engineering skills — and a relentless, dogged refusal to quit — he steadfastly confronts one seemingly insurmountable obstacle after the next. Will his resourcefulness be enough to overcome the impossible odds against him?

Different POI on movies

Earlier I found a lot of movies are pretty boring and/or bad.

Now i have another perspective on it!

I think a movie can be incredibly good when I can see kinda development in the minds of the characters. how they think and behave and how the situations changes their mind and behaviour. I think that's absolutey underrated. I really like the effect of thinking about the characters and whats going on inside. It opens up my own mind to different people.

And here comes another point on a long list of how Michael Sheen has changed my life and still do. I just found out that movies I usually wouldn't like are good in a different way. I never would have watched "Dead Long Enough", "Kenneth Williams: Fantabulosa!" or "Last Train to Christmas" or series like "Prodigal Son" or "Masters of Sex". But every single one is really interesting in it's own way. So I love that I love Good Omens and how it catched me to find out more about the series and then to find out more about the Actors especially Michael Sheen. Not many people have an impact in my life and even less have a completely life-changing impact. I really appreciate it!

Far from the Madding Crowd (2015)

If period piece romantic dramas are your thing, you will eat up Far from the Madding Crowd and be eager for more. It also has an audience beyond genre fans. You don't need to be familiar with the source material to enjoy the film - I'll attest to it.

In 1870s Victorian England, independent, beautiful Bathsheba Everdene (Carey Mulligan) inherits her uncle’s large farm. Now well-to-do and living a life of comfort, she finds herself pursued by three different suitors: Gabriel Oak (Matthias Schoenaerts), a farmer from her days as an ordinary girl; Frank Troy (Tom Sturridge) a fiery Sergeant; and William Boldwood (Michael Sheen), her mature and prosperous neighbor. As she deals with the difficulties and dangers of owning a farm in the 19th-Century, everyone wonders who she will finally choose.

Films set in this era often deal with fragility. The times were difficult and dangerous even if you lived comfortably. Insurance was non-existent. Communication over long distances was spotty. Men and women's roles in society differed greatly from today. People had different views and expectations of medicine, poverty, and life overall. Even with a strong woman at its center, the film always maintains a certain tension. One bad harvest and she could be homeless. One mistake with a man and she could be ostracized forever.

Amid these delicate times, emotional defences are being lowered. We're most vulnerable during that first stage of dating when you’ve been seeing that special someone for just long enough to get attached to them but not so long that where things will go is clearly defined. This movie is all about the risk of disaster: financial, societal, emotional.

Seeing ladies and gentlemen in the clothing of this period is always a treat. While we aren't dealing with huge, elaborate balls, the garments are nice to see precisely for that reason. It's a different view of what things were like back then - a way to time travel without leaving your chair. If costumes aren't your thing Far From the Maddening Crowd still has plenty to offer. Carey Mulligan in a meaty role for instance. All of the performers are given roles that allow them to show off a wide range of emotions, moments of strength, and vulnerability alike. Among the talented cast, she reigns supreme.

My issues with the movie come from the fact that the novel wouldn't have been one that I'd pick up for fun. The romance is enticing. The people involved in it too. It's an old-fashioned story which feels modern because of our heroine who has to prove herself in a world run by men. This aspect engaged me less than the other material at first but once it got going I wanted to see how it would play out. In fact, I wish we'd gotten more of Tom Sturridge, more of this story in general as the conclusion feels rushed. These are minor complaints. Fans of these types of films will absolutely love this adaptation of the 1874 novel. I just have a passing interest (if that) and found it a nice change of pace.

If you have an interest in classic literature or costume dramas, or you like romance stories, it'll be worth your time to track down Far From the Madding Crowd. The ones I'll try to appeal to now are those who wouldn't typically check out something based on a novel by an author who's been dead for 200 years. If you have a girlfriend/significant other whom this might please it'd make for a great date night and you'll find things to like in it as well. Give it a shot.

I just have a lot of questions for the Underworld film. I have been on a binge of Michael Sheen movies, and was holding off on Underworld because it’s not really my scene (I was kinda right), and watching two of them has led me to a lot of questions.

I watched Rise of the Lycans first because I knew it was a prequel and I knew he would be in most of it, as I was aware he was a lycan. I’m a genius. I really liked it. I think my affinity for period pieces worked for it because I’m not one for big action films (unless Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is in them and even then it’s touch and go). I liked it enough to give the actual first Underworld film a go. I didn’t like it as much, which has led me here -- to my questions:

1. Why does Selene wear a catsuit AND a corset? Style, I assume, but I just thought a lot of thoughts every time I saw her.

2. Did they film Rise of the Lycans at the same time as this and then release it years later? A lot of the flashbacks are EXACTLY the same. I understand that’s easy enough to do, but it just seems like a lot of effort and could lead to a lot of issues with consistency. And it doesn’t seem like the actors aged -- I know that it wasn’t that long in between the films and they are adults and wouldn’t age so maybe it just comes down to that. 

3. If I hadn’t read the description of the movie on Netflix, I never would have realized that Selene and Michael were supposed to be in love. Like what? How? When? Just cuz they are both pretty? They did not speak more than 10 words to each other and most of those were “you’re going to die.”

4. When did Lucian realize that Viktor wasn’t dead? Like it seemed as if Lucian was pretty sure he killed Viktor at the end of Rise of the Lycans but then Viktor is just happily in his coffin off to dreamland ?

5. Why are there no lady lycans? Is lycanthropy only given by bite other than Lucian (not even sure that’s how that worked -- confused by his origin and there was a baby penis that seemed unnecessary and distracted me from the narrator)? Like why do they not think to turn some ladies and have some babies? I get that they need “strength” but I can only assume that lycans of any gender would be powerful. And on that thought, why not like impregnate some humans ? Can they do that? I understand that they don’t age normally but they can die so still need to keep the species going right? Or everybody gay and just wanna bone some dudes ???

6. Why don’t the lycans just take over? The vampires can’t go into the sun and lycans can ?? It’s very sweet that the lycans “choose” (I know it’s not much of a choice) to live underground and only fight at night/when it’s raining so that the vampires need not worry about death in that way. Does this come down to Lucian’s feelings about Sonja and her death? But the lycans could just barricade the vampires’ houses/etc. and take over during the daytime when they can’t leave. I just don’t get it.

7. They never fully explained this, but like why do the vampires assume the lycans are stupid and can’t create weapons to destroy them? The vampire weapon’s maker was like “Nah lycans got those from the military” about the UV bullets. Why? You are capable of creating lycan killing things, why aren’t they capable of the same? Is it just a thing about still thinking they are dumb animals? I assume so but I was just confused by a throwaway plot point.

I’m not sure these movies are meant to make me think this much, but they did. I told myself that if I liked the first one, I’d watch the second even though I know Michael Sheen isn’t in it -- I probably won’t be doing that, but the first one was worth it.

Prodigal Son, Episode 2: Complicated Families as Far As the Eye Can See

Episode two of Prodigal Son, and Malcolm’s family continues to be way, way weirder than any imaginable crime scene - no matter what delightful twists you add to a corpse. Having wondered last week if we were heading towards a weekly procedural with the world’s weirdest family dinners, I am delighted to say that that might genuinely be what we’re going to get. 

Spoilers below, mainly for the interesting bits! 

We begin the episode with an extended look at Malcolm’s morning routine, restraints and all: angry yoga has made it on the list, although the crowning moment was definitely the look on Malcolm’s face when he read that day’s affirmation: I’m thankful for my past and its many lessons. This reminder of his seemingly quite fragile mental health make the following scene with his mother all the more bizarre: this is a woman who asks about restraints as matter-of-factly as she might ask someone to pick up milk on the way home. I’m currently very tron over this character - does she want Malcolm to seem more ‘normal’ so that the family can move on from what the Surgeon did, or does genuinely want her child not to have been irreparably broken by having a monster for a father? While most of her actions would seem to imply that this is a woman who is very, very concerned with appearances, her description of her young son discovering evidence of his father’s crimes in his “hobbies room” is suitably unsettling.  

The crime of the week was serviceable enough, with the crime scene itself being greatly livened up by the inclusion of Dani, who’s still not over Malcolm chopping off a hand last week, Dr Tanaka, who’s still not over Malcolm’s weird compliments, and a trio of snakes, who climbed out of a corpse’s mouth because it’s going to be one of those days. We also found time for some decent snark between Malcolm and JT (“I had a few snakes as a kid”/”Of course you did”), and the discovery of what will take the wind out of Malcolm’s manic sails at a crime scene (the aforementioned snakes-in-a-dead-man going after a team member). 

The particular choice of murderer - a family annihilator - did also allow the episode to continue playing around the question of love, and what loves looks like from a person capable of terrible acts. Malcolm discounts a suspect because he “didn’t love” the victims enough to have killed them, and later seems to try to apply a similar logic to his father. Was being spared by a serial killer an act of love or an act of indifference? Neither answer would be particularly reassuring. 

And, while the crime itself is hardly world-shattering, it does give us the greatest gift of the entire episode: a montage of Michael-Sheen-The-Surgeon-Serial-Killer losing his mind over voicemail. This entire premise was excellent enough to distract me completely from the question of why a convicted serial killer usually used his phone time to give medical consultations, what the heck. I am also still greatly amused by the things at which the Surgeon chooses to be outraged: yes, he may have murdered more than twenty minutes, but he would simply never have drugged his son. Michael Sheen’s delivery of “They make it look so easy in the movies, but it’s tricky stuff, you know. The wrong dose can easily kill you, which is a long way of saying no of course I didn’t drug you!” was delightful.

The Surgeon’s puppy-dog eagerness to maintain some lines of communication and help Malcolm solve the case also leads to a terrifying contrast when Malcolm pushes the question of the girl in the box - and suddenly the eccentric, almost affable former-doctor is replaced by a chillingly focused predator, who goes straight for his son’s weakest point: the fear that he might be much more like his father than he can admit. It’s an interesting line for the Surgeon to take; despite his blatant eagerness to maintain a relationship with his son, he refuses to speak about the one topic which would - at least temporarily - keep Malcolm in the room with him. The choice to shut down the conversation entirely, rather than string Malcolm along with half-truths or fragments of the mystery, makes me wonder if the truth is something so terrible that Martin knows it would genuinely cost him his son, or if he’s simply exerting control over his situation in any way that he can. 

It’s also worth noting that, while still being clearly troubled, Malcolm doesn’t hit the same levels of worrying energy that he did last week, and his numbers of really stupid, self-harming actions was significantly down - he still loses points for ignoring police orders, but what else would we expect from a NYPD consultant in this day and age? 

The character interactions also feel a lot more genuine this week, with significantly fewer ‘cool one-liners’ and far more actual communication, which is absolutely one of my weak spots. The conversation between JT and Malcolm about growing up with a serial killer for a father was brief but entirely believable - JT finally asking “was it weird?” and Malcolm’s response of “Super weird” was strangely honest, especially considering Malcolm’s habit of very obviously lying to people who ask his questions which he doesn’t feel like answering. 

Ultimately, while episode one was happy to play its hand and walk away, episode two seems much more keen to establish some ongoing threads: the question of the girl in the box, and the potentially far more unsettling question of exactly who knew what when back in the days of the Surgeon. The final reveal at the very end of the episode was fascinating but not surprising, as it fitted perfectly with all the information that the audience already had, but still managed to offer a new dimension to the whole matter of just what the hell was going on in Malcolm’s early childhood.
