CHIBNALL MMAY HAVE ACCIDENTALLY CONFIRMED TEGANxNYSSA.

BECAUSE.

Tegan mentions she has an adopted son.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but right now (in terms of so far in canon) Tegan doesn't have any children, biological or adopted.

She doesn't specify that he's human, nor on Earth.

But Nyssa.

Nyssa had a son and a daughter.

So... If Tegan had adopted Neeka and Adric...

And Adric (Traken) was her adopted son...

THEN TYSSA WOULD BE CANON.

BOOM.

Oh and also the reference to Adric made me cry.

when you read the incomplete draft of something you wrote 4 years ago that you don’t remember writing and realize “hey that’s pretty good”

So I took out all these Ryan gosling movies after seeing Barbie. I didn’t bother to read the descriptions of any. I very rarely do for movies and I don’t intentionally watch trailers, just the stuff that comes on before a movie in the theater or on a dvd.

Based I guess on the picture of the dvd I thought this was a collection of short semi connected stories (which is a style of movie I do very much enjoy) with each of the leads having his own story

I was not expecting a dramatic based on a true story, retelling of the financial collapse. I probably would have skipped checking this one out if I knew especially with a Steve carell lead

I am so glad I didn’t know. The big short was so good. So compelling. I was sucked in so hard. Such a well down movie with such good performances

2 hours ago I would have said Steve carell was one of my most hated actors. I don’t find him funny I’m anything I’ve seen him (except the George Foreman bacon in bed episode of the office) him in a staring role has been an automatic NO

He had me absolutely enthralled this film. He owned this movie.

I really liked how they presented the dry financial information. Really good movie

Steve Carell is officially off the banned leads list over here. After I get through my gosling pile I’m going to check out other dramatic roles he’s done

I love it when a movie is so good it changes your mind on an actor. This is this best type of being wrong

I decided to watch 'the menu' on a whim, not really knowing what it was, and i enjoyed it so much (spoilers ahead, obviously)

the introduction put me in the mind that it was going to be a 'look at these rich people, how are they so stupid' but i was not expecting deep systemic class/analysis.

i was also not expecting as much violence and destruction, but once i knew what i was in for it was great

it is quite obvious by the main course that they are going to eat the rich, but it is the more prescient idea of communal effort, subtle hints at communism (each according to their ability/need, allowing margo/erin's finale) and the overall structure of the movie sticking so closely to the idea of courses/menu it walks you through the hero's/journey (whatever structure you like) that guides you to the end.

the only critique i would make is that the whole of the kitchen staff die. i understand, they are destroying the institution of high art that the rich people are subjugating others for etc, i get that. But there are two moments that make me think otherwise. when elsa dies (the waitress played by Hong Chau) and when margo/erin clap and get the kitchens attention. it is in these moments i cant help but think that the staff should have somehow played a more forward role.

maybe i haven't understood it all yet, but i would recommend watching it.

Fate: The Winx Saga, of all things

I started watching Fate: the Winx Saga on Netflix. Yes, it is the gritty reboot of an early 2000s fashion fairy doll universe. There was no reason to expect it to be good.

But like. It’s REALLY good.

Back in my retail days, I worked at Toys R Us when Winx dolls were first a thing. So I've been passing over Fate: The Winx Saga because it looked like a YA romance/drama based on fairy toys from 2006. Which it is. But it's also entertaining and engaging, which I did NOT expect. It's also nice to see more of Eva Birthistle, who I loved in The Last Kingdom. And the title of the first episode is taken from a Yeats poem. Altogether more substantial than I expected this show to be.

I used to restock the shelves while I was working. The most memorable thing about Winx dolls was that they were at the opposite end of the "girls' toys" section from the Bratz.

And yet, we're examining narratives about responsibility, power struggles, perception, and deception. Magically-fueled psyops on at least two sides.

There is swearing, sex, violence, betrayal, and blood. So if those are issues, take caution.

But I would definitely recommend this show, which is such a nice surprise.
