FIRST TIME WATCHING

squid game

2 episodes so far but i've rewatched these two episodes so many times to catch all my irls up to speed....maybe we will finally get into episode 3 one day. i don't really have any commentary at this stage of watching because nothing remarkable has really happened and nothing was particularly horribly done either.

leverage reboot eps 9 n 10

watching w a friend who enjoyed the original. this is nothing like that, according to her. the dialogue is straight horrendous. but super hilarious absolutely not in the way they wanted. BAFFLING choices in like everything including cinnamon tography camera angles timing pacing story idk literally everything you name it. lines that rule in the worst way:

• "i'm going to the helicopter. you're going back to the library"
• "whoa! a gun?"
• "i feel like i've waited too long." "....like an old man in a library"
• *background music that sounds like an extended frog's croak*
• *halfhearted pencil roll under a table*
• "dammit doris, the bees are sleeping"
• "zazi, go and get our perspectives from the car too" *zazi walks away like a gta stripper imitating an anime girl*
• "can i get some help here-- i-- can i get a little help here"
• "eliot, grab me a chalupa. the one that i like"
• "do you wanna see: 40 million dollars?"
• "5 million dollars to launch your bee cream"
• "and for a premium, we will ship you LIVE BEES"
• "namaste, chad." "namaste, bebe"
• "bronwyn, you're lying. because it's what you do"

this is actually quality entertainment perfect for watching while doing homework 100% recommend. (ep 10 was much better than ep 9 also, i found it much more genuinely enjoyable in narrative.)

keeping up w the kardashians s12e12

• "i just got bit and now i have zikia or whatever the fuck it's called"
• "i love everything about cuba. i love that there's history, and culture,"
• "it made my butt liberated!"
• *serious conversation about relationship troubles* "could you pass the olives, kim?"
• "but now i understand. this is the way you talk to children"
• "and he's like, 'i just have thoughts now, at night'"
• "serragated." "segregated." "not segregated. serragated....serrated?"

in concludes i greatly enjoyed having this playing in the bg as i worked on a coding proj. 100 quality garbage white noise

search party ep1

ok i see the potential for char dev. but do i have the strength to sit through it when we have to wait for literally every main char to learn n grow and not be assholes. that is the question

dancing with the stars eps1-4

i LOVE that the judges give real dance critique i am actually OBSESSED but ofc i am because i grew up on sytycd. speaking off i need to make a post on the most memorable perfs from my sytycd childhood because i still haven't forgotten some of them

the voice ep1

the game i play w this show is can i guess which judge the contestant will choose with the little knowledge we're given. and every time i underestimate the contestant's understanding of which judge is actually best for them and assume they'll pick their fav singer over The Best Judge For Their Style And Technique. every contestant has chosen very wisely thus far and it's very great to see that these singers have the technical or stylistic knowledge to distinguish between judges in the way that best fits them....sidenote kelly clarkson and blake shelton seem to seriously hate each other it's krilling me like yeah go get his ass kelly....blake is truly annoying

REWATCHES

jennifer's body

THIS MOVIE IS WAY HORNIER THAN I REMEMBER. when jennifer shoves needy against the wall and is like "are you scared?" oh my god. i had a moment seriously

sex ed s1

rewatching so soon after having wached it for the first time....still good. makes me even sadder that s3 was like 70% garbage

handmaiden (2016)

the first time i watched this with 3 friends none of us had any idea what was coming (no pun intended). the second time i watched this was with moch and we were both on the same wavelength already and it didn't matter. the third time, aka this time, i watched it with like 5 other people who hadn't seen it before thinking that we would be able to sit through this because we're the ripe age of [redacted] and can handle this maturely. but actually. ACTUALLY. i think i was less phased THE FIRST TIME i watched this because suddenly every scene was TOTALLY MORTIFYING because i have a girlfriend at the present and she was also in the room and i was trying very hard not to look at her or the screen or at anyone else lest they read my mind and realize that everything happening on screen was either something we had done or were going to do. and also being like oh my god we weren't ready for this. were we ever going to be. i'm like if moch and i watched this together in person would it be as weird as it was with them. aka am i contributing to the lack of maturity. and i don't really know the answer to that

soul eater eps1-6

girl what's with the fanservice in the intro eps. like eps1-3 are soooo annoying w it and then it very nearly disappears as the series goes along? way to mislead like the fuck....so embarrassing to be like "oh i loved this show" and make my friends sit through all that....DAMN

teen titans s3e3 & s2e6

banger show just replayed a couple of my fave #robstar eps in the company of friends yes i do enjoy the occasional het ship (including soul/maka from soul eater) and this pair is soooo cute and sweet and poifect
