Manon and Abraxos on the blast zone. Kneeling in the flowers left for the thirteen. This moment broke my heart sooo much.

Guys, I binge-watched Lockwood & Co. and now I don't know what to do with my life.

I've purchased the book series, and it should be here soon, but I want more of this show so bad!

It has vague (v. vague) Percy Jackson vibes, in that it's a young adult urban fantasy with extremely snarky protagonists, but it's also just so unique.

It's a great concept. (Ghosts that only kids can see, creating a world that necessitates child soldiers and forces children to grow up too fast.) It has great characters (They're all so funny, and somehow the romance of two of the main three doesn't third wheel the other one). It scratches that young adult urban fantasy itch that seems to be really hard to pull off without it feeling contrived or self-aware.

And it is soooooo British. I love it! (Seriously they are always either drinking or talking about tea. Always.) The main romance is cute and respectful and sweet, and NEVER HYPERSEXUALIZED!!!

I love this show so much. So excited for the books to arrive so that I can start reading them. Fingers crossed it gets a season 2!

Everyone is a suspect.

A new video game adaptation of Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express just released and I prepared a poster for the occasion.

The game transports Hercule Poirot’s investigation to 2023, at the 140th anniversary of the Orient Express. With a new character, Joanne Locke, to assist in the case, the game is said to be a faithful and augmented adaptation with new tricks and tricks beyond the confines of the luxury train.

The Bikeriders | Trailer

As much as I'd like to get on that ride, I might walk a little bit. The 1st trailer for The Bikeriders by Jeff Nichols starring Austin Butler, Jodie Comer & Tom Hardy is out and it looks...I don't know you should see for yourself. #OfficialTrailer

Writer: Jeff Nichols (Screenplay), Danny Lyon (Book) Director: Jeff Nichols Stars: Austin Butler, Jodie Comer, Tom Hardy, Michael Shannon, Boyd Holbrook I wish this movie interested me more than it actually does because I’ve liked Nichols’ direction in the past, Midnight Special was amazing, but I haven’t found what’s compelling about this one. I guess I have to see it for it to make sense…

DUNE (2021) Grade: B

I was a little slow coming around to it, but the 2nd half is great after they develop the char's a little. The last 20 minutes or so leaves wanting more. Don't waste your time watching the OG version ever. The score is low-key pushes this film.

Dafne Keen and Ruth Wilson in His Dark Materials (2019) Lyra's Jordan

S1E1

Orphan Lyra Belacqua's world is turned upside-down by her long-absent uncle's return from the north, while the glamorous Mrs Coulter visits.

*Explanatory text in opening titles: "This story starts in another world. One that is both like, and unlike, your own. Here, a human soul takes the physical form of an animal, known as a daemon. The relationship between human and daemon is sacred. This world has been controlled for centuries by the all-powerful Magisterium. Except in the wilderness of the North, where witches whisper of a prophecy. A prophecy of a child with a great destiny. During the Great Flood, this child was brought to Oxford."

Synopsis from IMDB:

Shadyside, 1978. School's out for summer and the activities at Camp Nightwing are about to begin. But when another Shadysider is possessed with the urge to kill, the fun in the sun becomes a gruesome fight for survival.

My synopsis: 

No notes.

My review

Out of the trilogy, this one is my favorite. I’d give it a higher rating if it was dealing solely with the 78 story. But if you are a fan of 80’s slashers or Stranger Things, you’ll probably like this one. The characters are a lot more likable in this one and the plot is tighter.

Rating : 8/10

Spoilery thoughts I had while watching the movie below. You've been warned.

I unapologetically love Sadie Sink.

Where the 1st movie was Scream meets Halloween, this one is more like Friday the 13th in the best way.

They go from knocking to breaking and entering very quickly.

All those ticking clocks would drive me insane.

Sheila is a psycho.

Ziggy was strung up by a tree, but by all means, chastise her for talking out of turn.

That’s right Ziggy. You don’t fall at his feet just because he did his job.

She wore a white top and is now upset that it got dirty?

“Nurse Lane, I’m in trouble again.” I bet she has been to the infirmary a lot.

I like the neighbor they took the kids to from the 1st movie is the nurse in this movie. And also the mother to one of the serial killers. I like neat touches like that.

Cindy’s accusing Ziggy of being selfish, but Ziggy’s showing concern for nurse Lane.

Mother of a serial killer. Everyone would think she had gone insane. She was right though.

The bell rings and everyone snaps out of it and runs to get food. That rang true to me.

Now Cindy wants to know about nurse Lane.

Cindy is selfish. She covers it up with toxic positivity, but she only cares about how she’s seen and what she’s going to do.

The other campers are terrorizing Ziggy and the sister barely reacts.

“Carry On My Wayward Son” Will always think of Supernatural and I’m okay with that.

I’d want to check out the witch map over the color war too.

Nick sees Ziggy’s cabin defaced but his 1st instinct isn’t to punish anyone. They really do only punish the Shadyside kids.

“Ziggy sucks cocks in hell.” Exorcist reference - nice.

Would not go down the creepy stone steps. Sadly, I might have when I was a teenager. 

You would have doubts simply seeing Tommy’s name on the rock, but after he attacked that guy with an ax all doubt is gone.

Why would she think Will set up a romantic meeting with her in the bathroom?

Saddie Sink is so amazing. Is there anyone she can’t have chemistry with?

I shipped them so hard.

I don’t care if the thing was calling to me, I don’t think I would touch it.

That crunch sound was too real.

There’s a distinct lack of shit for that to be directly under the outhouse.

Nick’s regretting what he’s done. 

Did Ziggy not notice that even though Nick was in between them, Tommy left Nick to go after her?

She stabbed him and then tried to smother him. Ziggy doesn’t go down without a fight.

I doubt a hand that old would hold together.

She removed his head with a shovel. That was badass.

How do the killers know when to stop? They don’t have a quota. 

So it wasn’t that Ziggy died and was brought back, it was that Nick brought her back. It’s a wonder that more people Nick knows don’t get hurt. He doesn’t have control over who they go after.

They left their bodies out in the rain? That’s messed up.

So is Ziggy still in danger or is she being paranoid?

If that red stuff is evasive as Cindy said it was, that janitor must have to clean around that tree nightly.

I like when anthologies swap stories but keep the same cast.

Adventures on the Planet of the Apes 7 pg2  by Alfredo Alcala

[melinoegoddessofghosts]

From the article: "Similarly, in February, Lockwood & Co. executive producer Rachel Prior implored Netflix subscribers to binge the first season of the series in order to boost viewership numbers."

The article mentions both Shadow and Bone and Lockwood & Co. as shows with dedicated fan bases that are facing possible cancellation.

It also said that trying to keep the shows in the Netflix Top 10 could help save them.

I haven't watched Shadow & Bone, yet, but I'm going to start it.

Here's my proposal: Lockwood & Co fans watch Shadow & Bone, and Shadow & Bone fans watch Lockwood & Co and we band together to save each other's shows.

Deal?
