  • “Whatever this life is, it’s all we have. And we don’t want it to end.” Mark S

    I have this stuck in my head too from the Season 2 finale.

    #Severance

    → 7:17 PM, Mar 25

  • Severance is returning for a 3rd season.

    Ben Stiller says fans won’t have to wait three years for another season.

    No, we’ll have to wait 5 years! LOL

  • Have been rewatching the Bourne films. I do like how the ending of the second film appears at the end of the third film. 🎬

  • Guess, we are a Moana 2 household for the foreseeable future. 🎬

  • Sick day. Watched 5 episodes of Prime Target on Apple TV+. I’ll stick with it, but enjoyed the start and hasn’t been able to maintain that. Maybe that’s a thing with binge watching something?

  • Severance. So. So. Good. My favourite line was, “I mean I know there was no actual ceiling, but this is fucking insane.” And it barely touched on the ending to the previous episode!

  • My week in media

    • Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros 📚 - I did not realise it was romance in addition to fantasy but I’ve started now, and it’s the holidays so I plan to keep going。
    • I have bought a new copy of House of Leaves and it’s sat there judging me for not starting but I need to be in the right frame of mind.📚
    • Sultan and Shephard - Loving their music. This mix is a nice place to start. 💿
    • I’ve enjoyed Teach Sleep Repeat for being very relatable about how I feel about teaching at the moment. It’s often too much. It’s that thing of there not being enough time and always feeling rushed about everything. That i am always thinking about work-life balance too. So ultimately feeling like I could be doing better (father, husband, teacher) but I’m not.
    • Mannequin Pussy on KEXP Her voice. ❤️ 🎤
    • KAOS on Netflix. Lyra and I really enjoyed this Greek Mythology in the present world show. We made time to watch it, which as two time-poor people tells you something. Funny but so dark in places. Jeff Goldblum as Zeus was great. 📺
    • The Wild Robot - All 4 of us loved this tale of a robot washed up on an island, laugh out loud funny in places. I cried twice. They definitely said “On your left” at one point too, which tickled me. 🎬

  • I’ve started recording the things I’ve watched but it’s a bit plain. Does anyone else do this on their Micro.blog? I know there are other websites but I don’t want to do that. Basically, can we have a Bookshelf but for TV and films?!

  • I don’t think I’ve ever rewatched something as fast as I’m rewatching the first season of the Letterkenny spin off Shoresy.

    It’s like the Soo, so effing good.

  • Just finished Severance and now I want to watch it all over again. Really enjoyed it. 📺

  • kind

    2020 is the year of the Kind Movie — and it couldn’t have come at a better time

    Also, tv because it mentions Ted Lasso and while I don’t think I agree with all the kind films I do like the idea. There’s lots of recommendations and discussion too in the Metafilter thread I saw the link.

    And while I’m at it, I had meant to talk about Speed Cubers and Queen’s Gambit because they both caught my eye for similar reasons. The first is a documentary ostensably about people doing Rubik’s cube’s REALLY fast and that’s why I started it but it turns out to be about the rivalry and friendship. The latter, I just like how it resolved it in the end.

  • After yesterdays watching of Vampires vs. the block, Lyra and I watched Attack the Block today. Yeah, maybe it’s the British-ness of it but much preferred Attack the Block. Am now on the hunt for similar British films… 🎬

  • Oh my goodness. The penultimate episode of The Boys was just so very good. Very excited for the final episode.

    This whole idea of releasing one episode a week, I think it might catch on… 📺

  • Norsemen

    Really enjoying Norsemen on Netflix. I read it described as Vikings meets Monty Python, which I kind of like. They apparently recorded it in Norwegian and English - which is pretty amazing. The way they speak in English, where the inflections are, adds a certain something. Trailer
