Eight Gifts of Hanukkah
For the past several years, the Hallmark Channel has aired one Chanukah movie a year along with its slate of, like, a Christmas movie premiere every day for all of November and December. So you can see, Much Jewish Representation. What is more, these movies have typically featured romances between one Jewish character and one ( Read more... ) -
Wheel of Time initial thoughts
I've decided to make a rule that I can only watch Wheel of Time on my stationary bike, so I've only watched the first three episodes so far, but so far I'm really enjoying it, and I'm getting a workout. The visuals are utterly stunning, and it's just a treat to watch for that reason alone. The show sustained an impressive sense of tension for the ( Read more... ) -

Because of Mystery Hunt time commitments, I skipped signing up for Festivids and Yuletide this year. Actually, several things I am working on for Hunt are not dissimilar to Festivids and Yuletide kind of projects, so I'm not missing the creative outlets FV and YT provide, but I am missing the sense of being part of those communities. Out of the ( Read more... ) -

I don't really have feelings about the WoT trailer? It looks like very high production values, which I think is a good sign that someone competent is running it and has studio backing?
But I was talking to my little brother about it over R"H and the point I was making is that the thing I find most compelling about WoT, and this is admittedly a me ( Read more... )
