this became a 'movie and tv monday' kinda post totally by accident
Bob's Burgers finale was tonight and it had a musical number. <3 I really wish they would just release an album. There were rumors one was on the way in 2014 and then nothing.
And now I was distracted for 15 minutes trying to find out more about the album, ending up on the Bob's Burger twitter page, downloading gifs...sigh, the internet is such a rabbit hole.
I finished watching Season 2 of Kimmy Schmidt which was better than Season 1 but still not perfect. My favorite episodes were the ones with Tina Fey but I love Tina Fey on my TV. And I really liked Titus' arc this season too. This show does work better as a streaming show than a regular TV show though, not sure I would tune in each week but I don't mind just watching them while I'm bumming around.
Also, Kimmy ends up at Universal Studios, Florida in the last episode and OMG I WILL BE THERE SOON! TWO MORE WEEKS! I NEED A VACATION!
We finished Season 3 of The Americans and need to start Season 4. Hopefully FXNOW still has all the episodes. It was quite a cliffhanger but that show is SO DAMN HEAVY I have to take a break for a bit.
This season of Archer is off to a better start than the last two but still missing...something. I just don't find myself laughing out loud as much (though the episode before last was pretty damn hilarious and might be my favorite so far this season, probably because the entire cast was involved).
OH I finally saw Captain America: Civil War. I've been commenting on a lot of people's posts. I'm not a huge Marvel fangirl, but the movie had received such rave reviews I wanted to see it on the big screen plus we had a gift card.
I feel weird saying this but I kind of wanted MORE discussion and politics. I found the explanations for each side kind of lacking. I got where they were both coming from but it was quickly explained away so they could start fighting and I really wanted more of that emotional drama of them talking about right and wrong.
I think I picked up one of the 'Civil War' trades YEARS ago, before the Marvel movies were even a thing, maybe just IronMan was out and I was curious about superhero comics (I had actively avoided them before that) and someone had referenced that series as good stuff. I think the arc I picked up was mostly about Spider-Man and Peter Parker was in court being questioned...it was this crazy legal drama with superheroes! And I was kinda hoping for that and less of this weird bromance love triangle with Steve, Stark and Bucky.
It was fun but I don't know if I will watch it again. It did make me want to see 'Ant-Man' which I apparently did NOT have on hold at the library even though I thought I did!!! UGH! But I have acquired a copy so now I just have to find time to watch it.
Yesterday I watched 'Steve Jobs' with Michael Fassbender, Kate Winslet, Seth Rogen and Jeff Daniels, directed by Danny Boyle and the script by Aaron Sorkin. I could not take my eyes off the screen. I seriously thought I would just put it on and maybe hang out, play on my iPad but as soon as it started (I don't even think there were credits, it just starts) I was entranced. Definitely lots of artistic license taken, think of it less as a biopic and more like a play about Steve Jobs that tries to condense his life into 3 big events.
It was REALLY good. Like, I can't decide if I should give it 4 or 5 stars good.
Oh, and of course, Game of Thrones was on last night.
I find whatever the hell is going on with Bran's storyline to be VERY CONVOLUTED! I don't get what Max Von Sydow in a tree is all about, I don't get the whole vision/time travel thing, and the entire Hodor thing was just a huge time travel paradox wtfuckery. This is all new stuff I assume and not in the books?
Also, I find the reveal of the White Walker origins to be underwhelming. I hope there is more explanation coming because it was so "we made them because humans" was not enough for me, especially when a few moments later they conjure fire grenades that would have really messed up some humans pretty easily.
Thank goodness for Sansa, Arya and Dany's stories though. I really want these three ladies to continue to kick ass and take names (a girl has no name).
Also the Wildling Leader "flirting" with Brienne is adorable and creepy all at once LOL. Don't stare dude! She can totally see you! haha.
Anyone else watch anything good this weekend? My shows are wrapping up so it will be time to find some "summer shows" soon.
