Jun. 7th, 2019 09:47 pm1. Things I found funny on DW...which admittedly doesn't say much for my sense of humor does it? Or is demonstrative for how dark and biting it can be?
* "you should never throw a bucket of flaming kerosene out the front door without first checking to make sure your mother hasn't unexpectedly returned."
LOL. May depend on how you feel about your mother?
* "Waking Up at 4 A.M. Every Day Is the Key to Success. Or to Getting a Cold."
This would explain why various people I work with seem to have perpetual colds.
* "Alton Brown's Good Eats Is Returning After Seven Years to Save Summer TV"
I didn't realize it needed to be saved. And by Alton Brown of all people?
*" Big Little Lies season 2 is brilliantly acted and all over the place"
Sort of like S1 and most of Lian Moriarity's books. And...wait, this is the same review I read from critics on Good Omens, Game of Thrones, and Dark Phoenix. Is it just me, or are the critics struggling for new soundbites?
2. There's a streaming service that contains filmed Broadway shows, entitled Broadway HD on Roku...whoa. And apparently there's a theater fandom???
I must find.
Yes, I'm an incorrigible theater geek. You know this. I know this. Let's move on.
3. Looked at Rotten Tomatoes to get a feel for Dark Phoenix's reception, then I jumped over to see how they ranked "Bumble Bee" which was the cheesy and insanely bad Transformers film that I watched via "On Demand" last weekend. Guess what?
Their rating with a 94% fresh tomato scale -- eh, no. I just lost all respect for you as a source for reviews.
Dark Phoenix reviews are all over the place, which is par for the course for X-men films. ( Read more... )
4. Speaking of X-men ...bloody Marvel is rebooting the comic franchise again. (I'm not really that surprised by this -- I knew they'd do that once they regained the movie rights. Also, the current story is clearly leading in that direction. But. Damn. Again?)
