A former coworker of mine died recently. He had such a lifelong thing for Wonder Woman that nobody who ever knew him ever saw any mention of the franchise without thinking of him. We had an officially sanctioned easter egg system (harm reduction, dontcha know) and every one of his courses had a WW animation hidden behind the title screen, bombastic horn section and all.
It’s been really shitty that he died right before this movie finally came out, so it’s kind of uplifting to learn that it just sucks so hard. Ya didn’t miss much, Michael.
I’ve watched The Expanse, Mr. Robot, Westworld. Pretty much all of them. Much as I love the drama series, I’ve found one that (in my opinion) trumps (sorry) them all. It’s got escapism, sunshine, lovable cast, relaxation, education and above all fun. Best of all, free.
This might be cheating, but:
It’s just f’kin lovely. Enjoy.
(kept me going for more than 2 yrs)
Just wrapped up season 2 of the Umbrella Academy… I enjoyed all the 60s aesthetics and historical detail and I like how they developed the characters this season, too. The introduction of Lila and Harlan seems like it’s going to have repercussions, with regards to the Sparrow Academy, in some way, with Harlan manifesting powers at the end there. Also, with regards to Reginald Hargreaves, dudes an alien, which explains much of his behavior, but I wonder how that is going to play into this next season since he’s back… I wonder if that means that Pogo and the Handler are still alive in this new timeline.
I’m guessing you have both (meaning Mindy & Mel) have seen Lovecraft Country. I’m halfway through the first season and both loving it and being disturbed by it. I’m going to finish the season but I’d love to hear your views.
The horror is bloody and visceral, but mixed in with the absolute terror of 1950’s deep south racism was what I found equally disturbing. I knew it went on, but then I’ve had the luck of being a thousand miles from it. But this is horror on two fronts. I think it’s brilliantly done, and timely.
