I loooooove that on this reality cooking show im watching, it was judged blind and therefore ALL of the men lost and the finalists are women. 😍 gatekeeping and girlbossing i see. Women have to work so much harder, it doesn't surprise me that they get objectively much better at their jobs.

Love Manjoume just being this weird outlier when people try to rank YGO characters based on how '''''strong''''' they are at the card game. "His Ojama deck is weak" that's the point that's the point that's the fucking point

WATCHING AND DREAMING BINGO CARDS. Mostly made up of injokes from me and my friends but some are more serious predictions.

my favourite irony of the current shipping discussion is the folks who allege WolfWren enjoyers sent “threats” to people who enjoy cishet ships (I have asked for ANY examples or usernames of anyone doing this multiple times), have also been calling for Filoni to suffer & die if he doesn’t make their ship canon. but don’t forget, it’s definitely the sapphics and queers who like WolfWren that are the problem

March–April 2024. A very strange, frequently tasteless, mostly inexplicable black comedy political satire from the creator of SUCCESSION — though more strongly reminiscent, presumably on purpose, of the 2017 THE DEATH OF STALIN — THE REGIME is a six-part miniseries starring a self-consciously frumpy-looking, outrageously hammy Kate Winslet as Elena Vernham, the egomaniacal authoritarian chancellor of an unnamed Ruritanian state somewhere in Central Europe.

As her hapless husband (Guillaume Gallienne) and self-dealing underlings tiptoe around her growing list of neuroses and increasingly erratic mood swings, a soldier named Herbert Zubak (Matthias Schoenaerts), notorious for his role in a brutal massacre of striking mine workers, is recruited to play a hard-to-define, ever-shifting supporting role in Elena's ongoing psychological breakdown and various political confrontations.

Winslet seems to have been having fun, although she overacts shamelessly, and what accent she thinks she's doing seems to vary from moment to moment; the median could best be described as "Margaret Thatcher, very tipsy, trying to pretend she's not sucking on an Everlasting Gobstopper." Schoenaerts, for reasons that are never clear, plays Zubak like a punch-drunk boxer trying to walk off a life-threatening concussion, leaving his character a perplexing cipher throughout.

Like THE DEATH OF STALIN (which I thought wildly overrated), THE REGIME is more often crass and uncomfortable than actually funny, and its smug misogyny would be offensive if taken seriously (which is admittedly very difficult). Also, given the current state of the UK, watching the largely British cast mock the political instability of a fictitious "Middle European" autocracy causes some seasickness. (Whistling past the graveyard, perhaps, but still.) CONTAINS LESBIANS? No! VERDICT: Much more "funny strange" than "funny ha-ha," and because it's basically a one-note joke, it becomes like one of those terrible SNL skits that just won't end.

Gotta love that I finally have the emotional strength to get back into BL, and I fall in love with a show that apparently just @heretherebedork and I enjoy.

btw was anyone else like. Severely underwhelmed by the last like 10 episodes of ninjago crystallized. Or. Was that just me. Like genuinely.

even though i havent been able to see the new season yet ive seen clips of reagan hugging brett

like

like thats just so sweet to me 😭 like that just shows how theyve grown as friends

oop ill try not to spoil you too much, might put spoilery stuff in tags so you can ignore it- but yeah, i adore character developments in part 2, Reagan growing more comfortable to phisical touch with her gang and Brett especially has me feeling on cloud 9, Brett knew about her problems, listened and was never pushy with her, only genuine respect and support and that (as well as the Ron plot) looks very much like a boring cliche on paper, but the show handled it magnificently, the way it didnt feel redundant, cheap or annoying and im super pleased with it

have discovered a new enemy while doing research for the honours essay. why are you pretending to understand psychology and BLATANTLY misinterpreting actual terms and concepts in order to tear down a movie aimed at teenage girls, my good bitch. i'm going to start biting

rewatched star wars ep 1 recently (i have many Many things to say but that’ll come in another post) and i’ve concluded that part of the reason (there are many, mostly relating to pacing, world building and general quality) the new live action properties suck is that there’s a significant loss in the weight to their fight choreography. and i don’t mean that in like an plot relevant sense (altho that is also true) i mean the choreography LITERALLY looks less weighty, like it kinda seems like everyone is just a step too slow in everything and taking a couple too many breaths. the blade crossings don’t have as much of an impact. while that is to be expected w Sabine as a padawan it is very much NOT what i would expect from Shin OR the other guy Ahsoka kills OR Ahsoka herself, esp when compared to like Anakin in episodes 2/3 or Obi-Win thru out

the change really stuck out to me in episode 4 and it just makes the whole thing feel less like star wars and less weighty and it does the cast itself an injustice. i actually think the casting is really well done (natasha liu bordizzo <3) but the literal Everything Else ab Ahsoka in particular is disappointing

I’ve just watched all miraculous s5 episodes until revelation (5x20) and holy shit... WORST SEASON BY FAR.
