T.M.D. P.

I honestly can't even remember what this film was about because it was that boring.

Unfortunately, by the 8th episode, I have lost interest in Lovecraft Country. I have 2 episodes to go and it feels like a slog. Part of me doesn't really want to finish it so I can move on to Raised By Wolves. The plot is getting too convoluted. I understand each episode is a different genre, but the title "Lovecraft Country" is misleading. There aren't really hardly ANY Lovecraft monsters - it revolves heavily around magic/witchcraft. The Shoggoth monster doesn't really look much like the actual Shoggoth from the stories, either. But I do like its design. I'll give it that. Unfortunately, the acting is one big ham sandwich. Most of the characters aren't very redeemable, either. One character, Letitia, is very under developed too. She needed more character development but I guess they cut that for time. (We got more character development for a random lover of Atticus' overseas.) I like the social commentary on race. That's the doing of the author who wrote the book. However, that stuff does become exhausting after 8 episodes. It's important to demonstrate but I'm sensing that it's the primary focal point of the narrative, with dark fantasy peppered in here and there. It's also becoming very repetitive, which is starting to wear on me as a viewer. I haven't seen the final episode, but I can't imagine there will be a season 2 of this show. The show is based on a single novel and you can't sustain a long-running show by repeating the same message against racism in not just every episode, but every five minutes of every episode. I embraced its message at first, which brought tears to my eyes, but now I feel desensitized. That's the opposite of what should be happening with that message. I fear that the showrunners are overdoing it so much that they're ruining it.

This is one of the best elder scrolls games - a happy medium between Morrowind and Skyrim. I love it and keep going back to replay it even in the year 2020. Oblivion never gets old. The Shivering Isles (DLC) is even more awesome! Love Sheogorath!

This game is full of combat, puzzles, platforms, and stunning/stylized visuals. It's also very funny and whimsical. I haven't been this addicted to a video game in ages. You get a lot of positive sensory feedback through gameplay with all the colors, sounds, prizes, and rewards. The extra little challenges are fun too - but they can be very hard sometimes! I love that you get to design your own character too - and the game allows you to change Fenyx's appearance at any time during gameplay. You just need to do it at the Hall of the Gods which unlocks within the first hour or so of gameplay. Also, I won't lie, this game will teach you many things you either didn't know or forgot about ancient Greek mythology!

This movie was hilarious and the combat was incredible to watch. The costumes and sets were gorgeous!

This show is very heartwarming. Some episodes had me in tears. But it's also very lighthearted and goofy at times, mixed with the fun of watching intermittent drag performances. RuPaul is very real in his portrayal of Robert and how he comes to love a little girl struggling with trauma and neglect. This show is however for adults only - it is M rated, so please bear that in mind. I did think some parts were cheesy and difficult to believe, but at the same time, so many of the good parts made up for that. I'd like to know more about what happens after season 1. Please renew this Netflix!

I think it's a parody of drag contest shows, but they don't push the parody bit far enough for it to actually be funny. Also, everyone on this show is super annoying.

It's funny, but there's such a thing as too much Nick Kroll.

This show is awesome. It's basically a legal comedy with superhero badassery.

I'm really enjoying Rings of Power. I'm impressed that showrunners have been able to adapt so much of the origin mythos from the Silmarillion into a cohesive, linear storyline. This show is basically building up to the iconic moment that Celebrimbor forges the rings of power, all the while his "assistant" secretly forges the One Ring behind Celebrimbor's back. I am very interested in seeing the many stories that play out between when the elves left Valinor and the moment the One Ring is forged. I can tell that each of the iconic characters' paths will eventually cross and am eager to find out how. Because the Silmarillion is not a linear story with a beginning, middle, and end, RoP does a wonderful job at weaving characters' narratives into the book's canon notes, putting together a cohesive story. We view the origin of Tolkien's mythos through the lenses of Galadriel, Halbrand, Isildur, Elrond, Nori, Arondir, and more. Some characters are original and their experiences add to that narrative without changing the lore. It's beautifully done. Beyond that, the visuals are stunning. Between the costumes, the sets, props, and even the cgi -- this tv series is gorgeous. I look forward to the rest of the episodes in the coming weeks!
