TV Appreciation Week '25 Day 5 : favorite season of tv | ONCE UPON A TIME SEASON 1

What do you think stories are for? These stories, the classics... there's a reason we all know them. They're a way for us to deal with our world - a world that doesn't always make sense.

THE LIFE OF CHUCK dir. Mike Flanagan | 2024

"Chuck hears the beat change, becoming a little more exotic, and for a moment, he almost comes back to himself and walks away. Then he thinks, Fuck it, no law against dancing a little on the sidewalk." - Stephen King

"Alright, time to see what this animated poetry movie is like-

Oh jesus christ"

To elaborate outside of initial tags:

So this is from 30,000 Miles From Chang’an, which is a 2 hours 47 minutes(!!?) long Chinese animated film that is basically an actually legitimate historical epic and historical biopic (think Gladiator & Amadeus) made into animation, and also passionate tribute to classical art and culture, similar to something like Miss Hokusai or Millennium Actress.

I heard it was decent before, but was not expecting it to be This Ambitious. The Criminally Underrated Champ of 2023 Animation

television exists so that lesser known actors can be cast in random mid to decent shows nobody watches where they will deliver astonishing performances potentially superior to anything winning any kind of award for no reason at all

It's about life being a series of hills (one degree of glory to the next) and valleys (the shadow of death), and while we like to focus on the upward side of sanctification, we forget that there's a low for every high. It's about how every valley feels like personal failure, it's about being so tired of yourself that you figure God must be exhausted too, why don't You just let go of me already? I said I'd be holding onto You, but what about when I don't have the strength to do that anymore? It feels like every failure takes me back to square one, and I can't do this much longer.

It's about realizing that it's not about you, that even when you can't hold onto Him, He does not faint or grow weary, He does not stop holding onto you. He does not ever stop seeing you as worth it all, worth His sacrifice, worth bleeding for, worth pulling you up out of the waves, worth going back for again and again. He walked through the valley of the shadow of death too, He's been here before, He specializes in dying, He will guide you through, and when it's too dark for you to see Him, when you can't find Him, even when you're so far away that all there is to see is the marks you left on the ground as you thrashed around, He'll find you. He will find you and lift you up again and again and again.

I like that the fact that skulduggery is dead doesn't really have much to do with the plot. it offers him no perks except saving money on food and the most inconvenience that causes is he has to get his clothes tailored and valkyrie doesn't always know when he's rolling his eyes at her

Avril Lavigne was actually quoting Ecclesiastes when she said chill out, whatcha yellin for, lay back, it's all been done before.
