sprocketMe: okay, I have a work week which isn't so bad, then PTO.
Immune system: no, you have two weeks with no hard commitments. It's covid time.
While embracing my status as a virus battle ground, I watched:
- The Last of Us: "wow, Tess really reminds me of Olivia." Yes, that would be thanks to Anna Torv playing Tess. Acceptable alt-pandemic viewing, if one forgives the selective grasp on antibiotics and antifungals. If you take the show on its own premise, it's acceptable.
- due South: s1+ rewatch for Reasons.
- Harold and Maude: 1971 movie, suicidal 20 year old boy falls for 79 year old manic pixie dream girl. Selections filmed in San Francisco. Apparently was a cult classic?
- Nimona: 2023 movie, trans allegories abound.
- Dune 2: 2024 movie featuring swathes of my least favorite part of Dune, the banal evil of the Harkonnens. Expected it to end before the battle of Arrakeen, it didn't. Chani gets 90% of the respect I have to allocate to the people in this movie.
I also have been watching (and rewatching) The Expanse, because I am a known sucker for stuff in space with multi-episode arcs. Just assume I'm scribbling Venn diagrams of Expanse tropes and Babylon 5 tropes in the background.

on 2024-07-14 09:40 pm (UTC)the image of Harold lying face down "dead" in the swimming pool as his mother swam laps still feels very iconic; like: "the kids are not okay" mixed in with mom: "I'll just let him do his thing I guess; don't understand him anyway"
