Sometimes when a show has a really well-conceived season and completes its story, I think it's better just to leave it.magrittenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-40330341445725216242022-04-13T14:53:20.577-04:002022-04-13T14:53:20.577-04:00Won't that just compound your fatigue though? ...Won't that just compound your fatigue though? Isn't it worth a shot to just reach the end of your current list and be out in the wind for a solid second and see what your mind gravitates towards (in regards to just TV I mean)? It does the trick for me, sometimes. Although a list is more reliable than relying on suggestions from whatever streaming services you use if that's what you end up doing without a list.

...I am enjoying these weekly roundups/discussions.<br /><br />I have just finished rewatching Firefly. Still love it.<br /><br />I am NOT watching the very last episode of Killing Eve. Is that odd? I have loved the show and waited forever for this last season...but I am finding that I just don't really care how it ends. I don't care what happens to them.<br /><br />I think its TV burnout. Since Feb 2020 I have watched over 60 shows - most being shows I had never seen so watched all seasons. Its been a ridiculous amount of TV watching. I also rewatched all the Marvel movies in timeline order as Wandavision was airing because I had forgotten her story. And then there were other movies in between as well.<br /><br />Things I should be excited about watching, I'm just...not.<br /><br />I have been reading more and probably need to keep reading and give the small screen a break!<br /><br />I still read everything posted here though, and keep a list of things to watch eventually. ;-)<br /><br />SoozeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-8203821961844393992022-04-12T08:10:11.198-04:002022-04-12T08:10:11.198-04:00Hard to believe now, but Liefeld was massively pop...Hard to believe now, but Liefeld was massively popular back then. He was even in a Levis ads directed by Spike Lee. Within a few years he went from a superstar to a punchline. If you really want to understand the rise and fall of the comic industry in the 90s you just need to look at the career of Rob Liefeld.

I do prefer the 95 version, but both versions are damn near perfect and the Keira Knightley one does a great job of covering a novel's worth of development in a really short time.sunbunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08553429350476841139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-41179156301281830102022-04-12T00:35:21.636-04:002022-04-12T00:35:21.636-04:00Better Things got really weird on me.

I watched the first two seasons of Harrow with Ioan Gruffudd, which I liked, for the most part. I let Netflix pick a show for me and it picked Bridgerton. I went ahead and rewatched the first season before watching the second. I liked Anthony much better this time around and enjoyed the season, but I felt there was a little chemistry lacking between the actors until maybe the very end. I also recently subscribed to Apple+ and binged Foundation. I read the Asimov books many, many years ago, which may have been to my benefit. Reviews I read complained how many changes were made. I remember loving the books, but I can't remember details after all these years. I liked the series overall, though it did have some slow and confusing moments. I want to reread the books, but, from what I read in reviews, I will definitely have to separate the two in my mind. I was particularly disturbed by an action of one of the characters towards the end that didn't seem true to Asimov, though. No spoilers.

It is such a different show from Avatar that I'm having trouble getting into it after binging Avatar... but I will push forward. I am determined to like Korra.<br /><br />Shawshank is still one of my favorite movies, but I don't watch it very often. Far to hard a story to sit down and subject myself to on a even yearly basis. For me lately it is Pride and Prejudice (Keira Knightly version). Don't get me wrong, I am all about the 96 version with Firth, but for some reason the puppy dog love the Knightly version has with Darcy just gets to me lately.<br /><br />I still haven't even attempted Bridgerton, and honesty I'm kind of afraid to try after hearing such mixed things about it.<br /><br />Mark now I remember Liefeld, way back when during the Image split, and seeing his work show up plaguing comic covers.

Season Two was way better than Season One. Anthony did nothing for me last season, but this time around I just fell in love with him. It's romantic without being mushy, and under the sequins we meditate on the complicated dance of duty to family, honor to others, and what we owe to ourselves.<br /><br />sunbunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08553429350476841139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-51561826731771662042022-04-11T05:04:17.946-04:002022-04-11T05:04:17.946-04:00Victoria, it can be fun to read Stephen King's...Victoria, it can be fun to read Stephen King's novella "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption" after seeing the movie, to compare the two. It's one of his best works, I think, and it's all told from Red's perspective, which creates a different impact.

And that was prompted by "Atlanta's" (Childish Gambino/Don Glover from Community) return from like a 4-year hiatus to start its 3rd season, which gave me an itch for TV series helmed by comedians. I also liked Better Things by Pamela Adlon in that regard... wow typing that made me look up when it's airing its final season and apparently it's already well in the middle of it lol. So there's already something else to check soon after.<br /><br />Hopefully that'll last me until Better Call Saul's last season premiere, which is just over a week away. Been too damn long.Onigirlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10070327483035350298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-89059578655818818602022-04-11T04:20:37.381-04:002022-04-11T04:20:37.381-04:00Thanks, Josie!
