"They're Like Brother and Sister": The Incest-ing and Anti-Shipping of Non-Siblings
One of the movie/TV reaction channels I've been watching is making their way through The West Wing and, as we've gotten further into the fourth season, the reactors are starting to realize that Josh and Donna are probably going to be a Thing. I'll leave aside the fact that they're a bit late to the party (Joey Lucas is shipping them way back in ( Read more... ) -
Ted Lasso 3x10 - International Week
Icon chosen for Tartt & K*nt.
This show keeps topping itself and I don't know how. Also a mystery to me, how anyone can still say after this episode that this season is garbage. *shrugs* Must be watching an entirely different show than I am.
( Well, boss, I'm like an incomplete list of Madeline Kahn's best films. I ain't got no Clue. ) -
Knives Out
I'm dying to talk about this movie, but most social media isn't compatible with spoiler talk because there aren't cut tags. So LJ it is, and I'm just going to type for a bit, so when I link this on Facebook the preview doesn't cut into the spoilers below. So here we go...

Even if you have read the playscript (of which there are two versions now available, the rehearsal version and the final version), you are still going to have your face rocked off. I am very curious to see what happens with the Tony nominations next week (HPCC *just* got in ( Read more... ) -
BNATPSYCHO 18 -- Cinemaniacs Assaulting and Killing (Metaphorically, of Course) for Thrills!
I had seriously planned to do a vlog this year instead of a long breathless post, and I took a bunch of video, but my taciturn nature led me to shoot a lot more things and places than people (not wanting to bother people, natch -- #shypeopleproblems) so while I do have more pictures than usual, I wasn't quite ready for a vlog. Maybe next year ( Read more... ) -
Dismember the Alamo 2016
For the third straight year I schlepped up to the Alamo Drafthouse in Yonkers for their annual horror marathon. I had been torn, because the Nitehawk had a pretty awesome lineup (which they announced well in advance), but the two events overlapped and I had to choose. Ultimately, the Nitehawk's event cost more than twice as much as the Drafthouse's ( Read more... )
