Movies
It Happened One Night - Saw it as a part of Wondyful's Projections. HopedI would have made yesterday, but I had a bit of a mild cold, so...yeah. Anyways, great stuff with plenty of solid one-liners and a charming relationship. Also Clark Gable's hair curl is to die for.
Now, Voyager - Very tight blend of romance and melodrama, and a very well-made take on mental health and parental abuse that I think still holds up decades later. Also Bette Davis and Paul Henreid are way too hot for words in this. Could barely handle my lust at some points. 😍
Mildred Pierce - Also a great look at mother-daughter relationships tied smartly into a murder mystery and deconstruction of the housewife trope, which I always love. Fuck Veda tho
TV
The Handmaid's Tale Episodes 1-3 - Mom and I decided this would be our next show to watch together. Really powerful stuff here, though knowing that a baby bust is inevitable does also give me anxiety this might be the future.
Muppets Now - On a lighter note, thought the pilot for this was strong. It's basically a series of YouTube shows back-to-back, but all the characters are themselves and I liked each segment. Already a better start compared to that weird ABC mockumentary show they tried to do.
Phineas and Ferb Season 1 - The new movie coming out gave me the incentive to watch this for the first time in years. Definitely more repetitive than I remember, but they still have fun with the formula just enough to not make it a huge problem.
