Things I Watched In 2018: Dangerous Beauty (1998)

You, all of you, you who hunger so for what I give yet cannot bear to see that kind of power in a woman. You call God's greatest gift-ourselves, our yearning, our need to love-you call it filth and sin and heresy... I repent there was no other way open to me. I do not repent my life.

You do seem determined to prove I have feelings after all.

Things I Watched In 2018: Atonement (2007) 

So, my sister and Robbie were never able to have the time together they both so longed for... and deserved. Which ever since I've... ever since I've always felt I prevented. But what sense of hope or satisfaction could a reader derive from an ending like that? So in the book, I wanted to give Robbie and Cecilia what they lost out on in life. I'd like to think this isn't weakness or... evasion... but a final act of kindness. I gave them their happiness.

Things I Watched In 2018: Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (Season 1) 

In the town of Greendale, where it always feels like Halloween, there lived a girl who is half-witch, half-mortal, who, on her 16th birthday, would have to choose between two worlds: the witch world of her family, and the human world of her friends. My name is Sabrina Spellman, and that girl is me.

Things I Watched In 2018: The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society (2018)

Our Friday night book club became a refuge to us. A private freedom to feel the world growing darker all around you, but you only need a candle to see new worlds unfold. That is what we found in our society.

Things I Watched In 2018: Maria Theresia (2017)

I am Maria Theresia. Archduchess of Austria. My father, Charles VI, tasked me with the government of the dominions after him. Europe promised him support and let itself be payed greatly for it. But the promise was not worth the paper it was written down on. Prussia swore friendship and betrayed me first. France, to whom we had given Lorraine, the Bavarians, our brothers, they all deviously stabbed me in the back. I stand in front of you betrayed by my friends, chased by my enemies, abandoned by my closest relatives. My only salvation is you. You Hungarians, these proud and brave people, and... in my arrogance I hurt a valuable person’s honor and lost his friendship through this. I do not deserve you favor but... you see me here as a mother of a defenseless child, as a mother of a whole nation, as a defenseless woman that can only call on your bravery. My realm, my child, and I are in danger. I confide myself to your protection. And I promise to uphold all Hungarian rights.

Things I Watched In 2018: Howards End (2017)

I don’t intend to correct him, or to reform him... only connect.

Things I ReWatched In 2018: Charmed (Season 3)

So what is our level of confidence in this plan? Well on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being we whoop ass, 1 being he laughs at us while we're on fire and naked... Maybe you should lie to me.
