well they did say “we can make a good thing bad”, so i guess the joke is on me
#daisy jones and the six#jk i actually don't give a lot of fucks#i mean it's not like the book is a masterpiece#even if i enjoyed it much more#the cast is superb#but the rest of it is kinda toothless?#anyway i had fun#the only thing i do begrudge them is the lack of one line of lyrics#when you think of me i hope it ruins rock’n’roll

now on one hand. six of crows should’ve been one whole season and crooked kingdom an entirely different one. i’m talking like 40 min episodes, 12 episodes per season. weekly releases where the fandom goes feral each week because oh my god. are they finally going to let kaz and inej TRULY LOOK at each other? FLESHED OUT character arcs and slow burns that… actually slow burn and make you want to cry and scream and tear your heart out.
on the other hand shadow and bone season 1 and 2 = instant gratification makes brain go weeee
#it’s bad fanfic and that’s ok ❤️#besides the cast is superb#shadow and bone#shadow & bone#six of crows#inej ghafa#kaz brekker#nina zenik#jesper fahey#wylan van eck#matthias helvar#the crew#kanej#helnik#wesper

december in movies [24/31]: the man who invented christmas (2017) dir. bharat nalluri "It is a Christmas book because Christmas is, or ought to be, the one time of year when men and women open their shut-up hearts and think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave and not another race of creatures altogether."

Reading these updates on Twitter and it's like "This is the new way Matt Jag and Bowie Jane have decided to be awful." Jfc. Ultimately I think this season is going to end up mid to lower tier. The live feeds and first half of the season were super fluid and wild. But ultimately it's marred by bad twists, almost all the men being horrible, horrible comp design, and a suboar ending. I truly believe the zombie twist/Izzy's boot destroyed the momentum of this game and it never really picked back up. Which bums me out because I do think this is a pretty okay cast.

who up belatedly watching the hbo john adams miniseries. which people have been telling me to watch for years.
#i think it drags a little at times but is well done overall. strong casting and acting.#stephen dillane ATE as well his air of detached bitchiness is really a superb choice

Went to the RSC's production of A Midsummer Night's Dream starring Mat Baynton as Bottom this evening. As we crossed into Warwickshire a road sign that was clearly not quite high enough off the ground welcomed us to Shakespeare's cunty, and that was foreshadowing because the show SERVED
#girl playing Puck was UNBELIEVABLY hot like her swagger was off the charts#Oberon's outfit STELLAR#Mat B superb and incredibly tall and skinny#the whole cast were great but Puck and Lysander were just about my favourites#much hooting in the car at that sign#mat baynton#mathew baynton#a midsummer night's dream#shakespeare#theatre#royal shakespeare company

New Scotland Yard: Error of Judgement (2.8, LWT, 1972)
"Well, why didn't Stevens identify this girl?"
"Oh, he said she was only a teenager, he didn't want to create family problems for her."
"You let a man hang because you've got family problems? I take it we did try to find her? This girl?"
"It was up to the defense to produce their own witnesses."
"You didn't even look for her?"
"Look, if we'd been asked to by the defense solicitors, if we'd been directed by a judge, if we'd known who to look for, if we'd had a description - nobody even produced a name for the girl!"
"Therefore she didn't exist."
"Not necessarily."
#new scotland yard#error of judgement#lwt#classic tv#oliver horsbrugh#victor pemberton#john woodvine#john carlisle#carmel mcsharry#billy hamon#hugh manning#hugh cross#bryan stanion#richardson morgan#thomas heathcote#valerie bell#alec wallis#richard grant#back to (slightly) more cerebral plots. an MP leading the charge for an inquiry into an execution some 12 years earlier is killed himself#in a car bombing. the question becomes not just who killed the MP but whether his cause celebre (a supposedly innocent man hanged#as a result of a missing witness) was indeed guilty of the crime he died for. Kingdom seems unusually subdued on the matter‚ despite having#been an officer involved in the original case 12yrs ago; no bleeding heart monologues here‚ nor wringing of hands over whether an injustice#has been done. indeed‚ he never really offers an opinion on whether or not he was or is convinced of the man's guilt or innocence#it's quite out of sorts for the character‚ who might normally have been expected to vigorously defend his previous conduct or to lament his#youth and inexperience in a poorly handled case. instead he says nothing‚ and skulks about concentrating on the modern day#killing. perhaps he's still shaken up by the events of the previous week‚ tho i doubt it (there isn't a great amount of reference between#episodes in this series and mostly they're very self contained to date). no big faces in the guest cast tho i always appreciate Heathcote#an undervalued actor who rarely got the kind of meaty roles he deserved (nor did he here alas)#this same year Hamon appeared in the superb To Encourage the Others‚ another tale of legal injustice‚ as Derek Bentley's co defendant#Christopher Craig‚ in Alan Clarke's incendiary dramatisation of the Bentley murder trial

grips you by the shoulders
give FFXIII a chance
as much as I adore the game I will accept the gameplay isn't for everyone
but the story is so worth it
#you want found family? here it is#watch a playthrough on YT if you have to#and yes it might take a while for the gears to get going story-wise. but so it is with 99% of rpgs#the character development of the cast is SUPERB#it is exactly what you'd exprct from a FF story#FFXIII-2 also a banger game but it helped for me that i got obsessed with a side characters design#in the original XIII. and it just so happened that character became the protag of the next one LOL#but also noel baby boy. and caius one of the best FF villains i will not be accepting criticism#anyway. people love to hate the game but i have a controversial opinion on why that likely is#and id probably get mauled for stating it :-)#also the soundtrack (the thing that spurred this post on) is stellar. masashi hamauzu popping off as usual#but yeah. give it a chance. its a wonderful story of fighting fate while dealing with grief#amongst other things but tag character limit you understand#i will take this moment to share something about me i find so funny#my preferred name is snow. there's a character in XIII called snow.#i did not pick the name from him. he's actually my least favourite character in XIII LMFAOOOO#i appreciate how his character was built and i understand it. i just dont mesh well with overly brash hero types#(its why i didnt like kingsglaive.... sorry nyx)#all of the cast are so interesting with unique depths to them... even snow! and before i have to throttle anyone#that also means hope estheim too. grips you menacingly. that is a child facing the horrors .#ummm oops i be yapping again. my bad

the fact that they found the perfect claudia actress two times in a row really is so amazing to me. like, bailey leaving could’ve destroyed the entire show but instead she neatly tossed the baton to delainey who knew exactly what to do with it
just beautiful performances from the both of them, all the time. i feel so blessed
#the casting in the show in general is superb#i saw ppl complaining claudia doesn’t look 14 and it’s like#a. learn suspension of disbelief#and b. remember this show is framed by louis’ memory#and he sees her as a peer even when he infantalizes her#of course he’s going to try to age her up in his minds eye#to be less horrified by what happened

Reading through Catching Fire and realizing just based on Katniss’ description that President Snow smells similar but marginally better than Henry the VIII since he lacks the scent of pus
#I hate snow but also I love when he gets introduced in this book cause then there’s like a tangible antagonist to keep in mind#unlike before where it’s the whole system that’s the enemy which is still true but now you have someone to stand for it#and maybe even take the fall for it wink wink#also I will never not imagine Donald Sutherland thanks to those movies like superb casting what a wonderful man but an unnerving portrayal#the hunger games#catching fire

Seriously I know I say this constantly but please if you’re looking for a Halloween game I can and would recommend many depending on taste and horror level but my default would be Little Hope always. Don’t let the Krampus Syndrome scare you away it’s a king shit video game like it’s unbelievably good.
#little hope easily the best dark pictures anthology game. the AI work alone for immersion and the seamlessness of choice alterations?? the#detail??? like there’s different /voice takes/ for the same lines depending on how they feel about you. the detail work is superb#it’s scary as hell it’s folk horror and it’s so good so we’ll written it’s about family the dialogue slaps the whole cast slaps#great replay value. curator cut worth the second pass 100 like please#it’s a fantastic game#little hope#the dark pictures little hope
