Television and Movies...and stuff
Mar. 25th, 2019 09:02 pm1. TV Show Premiere Dates:
*Discovery of Witches starts on Sunday, April 7 at 9pm on BBCAmerica and AMC at the same time.
*Fosse/Verdon debutes on April 9 - not sure of time on F/X
* What We Do in the Shadows - the comedy spawned by the vampire mockmentary, stars on FX on March 27 at 10 PM -- it's about bloodsuckers getting into hijinks on...Staten Island (of all places). Some day, I need to visit Staten Island. It's the only borough that I've never been too. Places I've not been to in NY -- Airondacks, Lakes, Albany, North of the Catskills, Hamptons, Niagra Falls, Buffalo, and Staten Island.
2. Listening to X-Plain the X-men Panel Pod-Cast about Age of X-men, where they sit down live at Emerald City Comic Con with writers Vita Ayala, Seanan McGuire, and Leah Williams to talk Age of X-Man, the intergenerational legacy of X-Men, and telling stories in the pauses.
Basically these writers are LGBTQ, POC and Women -- for an X-men comic series.They've also been told to play. Age of X-men is pocket universe that was created by extremely powerful mutant and the X-men, along with all the Mutants fighting Nate Grey and Legion (two reality bending mutants) were sucked into it. The universe is basically fascist -- no intimate or familial loves are allowed. But of course there are secret relationships. They also discussing what writing for the books means to them and what the X-men means to them. One mentions that she sees the X-men as a musical overture. Also mentions the problems of setting up a canon. Another writer, not sure which one it is -- mentions what she relates to the most about X-men is the lonliness -- and that's what I identify with -- the lonliness. And how they reach for each other, desiring connection.

3. Right now, most of my life seems to be metaphorically represented by the black plastic bag hanging from a tree that I can see out of my living room window but can't remove. Today the Universe mocked me by showing me various torn plastic bags stuck in the tops of trees that I cannot remove. (You have to understand -- I love trees. They talk to me, I feel them. I feel safest near trees. It's why I can't live in the Southwest or West, I need trees. I can't breath if I'm not near trees.) So seeing all these damn plastic bags caught in the tree branches is just painful. But I can't do anything about it.
4. Chidi (coworker who looks like Chidi and has some of the same mannerisms) -- saw US and told me while it is definitely horror, but it is not scary. ( Read more... )
[I still think I may wait to watch on TV. Mainly because the trailer bugs me.]
5. For Veronica Mars and Good Place fans, the actress who portrayed Chidi's love interest Simone (the Australian neurology professor) is joining Veronica Mars opposite Kristen Bell. (YAY!) But it's on Hulu, which I cancelled. Dang it.
