The series is okay, could have been more thrilling. The character buildups are not as in depth. There's a scene where the main character is talking to an Asian "housekeeper" and she's breaks up her English to speak to him. Majority Asians are fluent in English - they may have accents but English is taught in schools. I found that moment incredibly offensive. It's 2021- we're trying to break away from racism.

I almost never watch shows with the opening scene haha…Fleabag is such a incredibly beautiful, insanely creative, well composed series. Phoebe Waller-Bridge is so incredibly talented, so gifted and smart! The 4th wall and her quick acting is so surreal and delightful. She is soo funny, I’m blown away by the suspense and comedy in each episode. The relationships, setting, scenes, true grit was something to hold onto. The ending of season 2 was so unexpected, it’s so perfect.

I didn’t grow up with The Cure. I wanted to study their discography, I approached the album the wrong way, “Yeah it’s a iconic but how good could it be?!” I’m still deeply embarrassed for being so dismissive. I am absolutely blown away, the melodies, how they play with space and sound to express emptiness, heartbreak, loneliness, drowning. Lovesong feels like someone you will not reach. So optimistic, and he sings again with his heart helplessly. How do they do this?! Robert’s voice is soooo unique, he creates his own echo and cadence. The guitars, drums, everything is so meticulous, timed, thoughtful. Prayers for Rain. I stopped my little sister and her friends and was like- you HAVE to hear this. The sound is SO heavy, drowning, so painful, you can feel the sadness in you. The bass beats it into your heart. Aw man, I definitely missed out and I’m sooo glad I chanced this band. So creative, a higher level of creativity that just flows. The band is a true treasure, the songs are such gems.

I liked Kirstin (main) and Fischer (Detective) the best. They could’ve condensed side characters. The abnormal (terrible) writing made the mysteries non-traditional/unpredictable. Nowhere near a favorite show, the sci-fi parts are cool to see. The first 5 episodes were kinda surprisingly toxic? Camille + Linus had the worst lines in television. There were multiple sexually degrading jokes about women. There’s verbal abuse/name-calling. The male characters are typical tv troupes. I’m on season 2 now, I’m enjoying the show more. The characters are better balanced and less sexist jokes. I was surprised this is from 2015, the chalky makeup, fashion, drama, scenes, feels like a 2010s CW teen show.

I’ve always been most drawn to “Burials” of all of AFI’s poetic albums. The atmosphere and layering reminds of Mark Rothko’s large scale hue paintings. Through “Burials” AFI uses a newer approach in exploring themes of starkness, hate-filled resentment, absoluteness, inescapable fated heavy emptiness, panic attacks, impending anxiety, self-accepted longing wistfulness. The album art is paired beautifully w/slightly glittery backlit darkness. 1970s Menil Art Collection, Houston. Mark Rothko painted these large blue to black diffused canvases. If you visit in-person, (perhaps at a more normal frequency than me 🤣) you’ll realize each is an individual study of the same medium 14 times! I counted :] Menil + Rothko lined these tall walls up in his non-denominal “Chapel”. Displayed in an absolute silence, a bare concrete dome. The natural ceiling skylights dictate the overall atmosphere, constantly evolving. The art has withered a bit from me visiting often from Austin and the natural forces of Houston (.. Perhaps Rothko meant his art to wither? 🤔) ANYWAYS! Burials has layers and layers of intricately placed details, massive walls of sound, negative space, purpose, and concise thought. Every time the album ends, I am like, “..Whoa.” The further we trek past Burials into Blood, Bodies, and many more wonderful individualistic albums, I cannot help but to be emotionally chained to Burials. The lyricism and music is some of the best AFI has done (on TOP of being incredibly influential, there’s SO many musicians who credit AFI for inspiration). The composition + atmosphere is so beautiful✨ Considering how interpersonal the themes are, Davey, Hunter, Jade, Adam did a phenomenal job writing and expressing with their instruments.

Top 3 hero movies ever. The story is so well-done and mindblowing! On of the best Disney + Marvel films ever, and up there with Wolverine. Action and thrill from start to end. This movie alone takes out the entire Avengers series imo. Everyone delivered (like everyone in the credits!). The acting was phenomenal tied in with backstory. The movie is all around incredible. The animation, art and detail was top notch compared to recent animation and CGI. Music + Sounds was also incredibly, emotionally awesome! After the movie ended, people kinda just sat there like we finished an adventure. It’s all really, really good!!
