Lessons in Chemistry (prod. Lee Eisenberg).

Apple's miniseries adaptation of Bonnie Garmus' bestselling debut novel stars Brie Larson as a chemist turned television cooking host in a simplified dramatization of the female empowerment movement in midcentury Southern California. How it weaves in a reluctant romance, academic politics, and Civil Rights through its Black characters never quite entirely works together episodically.

"Happiest surprise on the happiest day at the happiest place on earth. Some of my closest friends surprised me on January 9th … and I have to say I am HARD to SURPRISE. I always know what’s up. But they got me good. I’m still in shock to be honest. Feeling incredibly lucky, celebrated, loved, grateful and appreciative of all the wonderful souls I am fortunate to surround myself with. When it comes to friends, I definitely hit the jackpot. Huge thank you to my love @shaunwhite for orchestrating the whole thing! You sneaky lil devil ♥️🥰🫶🏼😍😘 love you"

Mini-review:

There are a lot of good book-to-movie/TV adaptations. However, there is something that's a lot rarer: an adaptation that improves on the original in pretty much every way. Looking for Alaska is one of those. Going for a miniseries instead of a movie means that everything is much more fleshed out, from the characters to the setting and the themes. The show also perfectly captures the atmosphere of the novel. I've always felt that atmosphere was what made this book so special and popular, and this adaptation made me feel exactly the same. I must admit, though, I still don't like Miles as a lead character, like at all. But, since the other characters get as much focus as him, I didn't dislike him as much as I did in the book.

What's more, the cast is absolutely spectacular. They all nail their roles. I seriously can't think of many teen movies/shows with such fantastic acting. Kristine Froseth and Denny Love are particularly showstopping and I was really surprised (and disappointed) to see they didn't get any award nominations. They're truly that good. Lastly, I want to talk about the setting. I just loved Culver Creek, the pranks, the locations, everything. I honestly wish they would have turned this into some sort of anthology where we follow a different set of Culver Creek students in each season. Seriously, the setting has so much potential. Anyway, this is easily one of the best book adaptations I've ever seen, and I'm really glad I decided to watch it.

I can't believe it. I know the musical is new, like really new, but I didn't think tumblr would let me down like this.

I found NOTHING for A Transparent Musical.

I've already seen it twice and BOY CAN I NOT WAIT FOR THE SOUNDTRACK TO BE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC

I've got the songs stuck in my head and no where to hyperfixate. It's driving me mad that I can't even find any of the lyrics online.

I need to draw fanart soon or I'm going to burst.

Something in the Dirt

Something in the Dirt    [trailer]

Two new neighbors witness what seems to be a supernatural event in one of their apartments. At first terrified, they realize that documenting this phenomenon could provide them the lives they’ve always dreamed of.

Delightful spoof of pseudo-scientific reports and paranormal thrillers.

It takes a while to get used to the two characters. The opening feels a little too agressively improvised with dialogue that sounded like being made-up on the spot.

But after a while the riffing on made-up scientific theories and ideas takes over and you start to get into the flow. Though I think they should've tried to streamline it a bit and find an end around the 90 minutes mark.

Nevertheless, proof that it was possible to make movies during the pandemic that are much more energetic and weird than just two people having a zoom conversation.
