I always lag so much more at writing anything about these than about books.

Watchmen. Clever and well-done, except for a few characterization details I just couldn't buy that clearly let them set up things they wanted to do. But I'm definitely glad we finally watched it.

Encanto. So pretty! Hair animation has come so far! The internet seems to be ( Read more... )

We decided to do a month of HBO+ to watch In The Heights [ETA: which we enjoyed] and some Hugo stuff, and so we also finally watched the other nine episodes of Lovecraft Country! I overall liked it a lot and thought it was a good adaptation, although I am a sucker for highly attractive people and I'm sure I was biased by that. Although, on the ( Read more... )

We watched the first episode on YouTube and it was so good I'm tempted to actually pay for HBO so we can keep watching as it airs. I will probably talk myself out of that by tomorrow but damn. (If you haven't read the book, highly recommended, I wrote about it here.) This entry was originally posted at https://psocoptera.dreamwidth.org/522599. ( Read more... )

I'm not great at remembering to review tv, but I'll probably want to nominate the Steven Universe Future finale for something next year. Good stuff.

I may post later with more thoughts but an overall thumbs up to She-Ra season 4. I'm curious at some point to start looking into which 2019 episodes people are excited about nominating for the Hugo Dramatic Short... although I also may not really care because I care so much more about getting "Change Your Mind", the Steven Universe episode, onto ( Read more... )

We watched it, it was good, it'll be up for the Dramatic Long next year against Endgame and Captain Marvel and the Star Wars movie and I think could take it.

Lego Movie 2My favorite part of this movie was that at one point we see a scene of a whole bunch of 80s space Lego and I sat bolt upright in my seat and gasped in glee and Quentin reached over and patted me like yes Mom we know you're very excited. Anyways this was fine, not as good as the first one or the Batman one but better than the Ninjago ( Read more... )
