Catching up with TV and movies, man.
Oct. 17th, 2022 02:58 pmCaught up on my viewing this morning/last night.
She-Hulk as a series was an...unusual show. It wasn't bad and I absolutely don't think it deserved the amount of hate sent its way, but it definitely felt like it was spinning its wheels at times. Disney and Marvel have money and they should just fucking pay their CGI people properly so they can do the work and not have it be ...that. At least on shows that are going to lean hard on the CGI. No, no, they should pay and treat them properly all the time but be extra generous for the CGI heavy shit. It's a show I'll happily watch another season of, especially since the cast is pretty much perfect, but maybe figure things out a bit more. Even if all Marvel stuff could be considered candy of sorts, it felt extra cotton candy-y at points, though when it hit, it hit hard.
My Best Friend's Exorcism. Dude. I was so excited for this when it was announced because I absolutely loved the book. I admit I'm fuzzy on a lot of the details of the book right now but I remember a few things: tape worm from hell, the dog doesn't make it, the school is 100% Porter Gaud even if it's not actually called that, and I may not believe in god (or your god), but I believe in our friendship enough to save you.
( spoilers? )
I'd really been counting on that catharsis because The Owl House came back and broke my fucking heart and I needed to believe in something good again. DENIED.
Also, I think the weather's acting funky because my face once more feels like mother nature has smacked me repeatedly in the sinuses.
