Lady Koto, with her eye-liner, constantly has these widened eyes that make her look as if she has a perpetually amazed, surprised, frightened expression (which kinda makes sense, given that she's a rabbit).

Kid: I'm hungry, also wheres the priest?

Lady Koto: HI HUNGRY-ALSO-WHERES-THE-PRIEST, I'M TERRIFIED!

I started watching For All Mankind a little while ago (about what would’ve happened if the space race never ended), and I think it’s pretty good (in an interesting/sometimes disturbing way). I’m almost done with the first season.

I started watching The Food That Built America on the History Channel. One of the people that talks on the candy episode looks remarkably like an older version of one of my coworkers, but I doubt they're related.

I've been watching Forensic Files on Netflix because I am apparently old now.

I've been watching these youtube "shows" where this girl tells you about some historic grisly murder while putting on makeup. It's right up my wife's alley so she loves it. I ... not so much.

I saw the first two episodes of Solos on Sunday, and I thought it was pretty good. Here's the IMDb link.

I've not historically made much effort to follow the Marvel universe. I did watch both Guardians of the Galaxy films, which I was kind of lukewarm on, and I thought Deadpool might be funny but gave up on it ten minutes in. So I concluded it just wasn't really for me.

But, I kept seeing memes and things about Bucky Barnes, and he just piqued my interest. So I thought I'd have a go at that storyline, just casually, no strings attached, if I find it unappealing I don't even have to finish it.

I wasn't too interested in the rest of the Captain America/Avengers storyline, which I knew nothing of, but I knew that Bucky's superhero name is the Winter Soldier, so I got hold of Captain America: the Winter Soldier. Obviously, that would be the one in which he would be introduced.





Yes. Anyway.





Despite much confusion (about half an hour in I was so bamboozled that I looked up the outline of the plot and started the film over again) I really enjoyed it.

I was absolutely right that Bucky is the type of character who pushes my emotional buttons, but I'd expected that I could take the Captain himself or leave him and I was absolutely wrong about that. Steve Rogers is awesome and I love him, and also Falcon is pretty cool - he can fly. (Apparently the Falcon and the Winter Soldier have their own TV show which I currently intend to watch at some point.)

I've since skipped back to the start and watched Captain America: the First Avenger, which I also thoroughly enjoyed, and given that I already knew the Winter Soldier's identity I didn't really lose much by watching them out of order. I'm going to work my way through the the remainder of the storyline as fast as my DVD subscription service allows. I might even end up getting into the broader Marvel Universe a little; who knows?

My mom and aunt started watching Miracle Workers (Daniel Radcliffe's new current show). I couldn't get into it, personally. Has anyone else seen it?

I watched the previous season, which was set in Medieval Times (Miracle Workers is an anthology series), and I found it quite enjoyable. I don't have live TV anymore, but I'm thinking about finding a way to watch this season anyway.

Right now, I'm watching a rerun of Food: Fact or Fiction, and I'm about 99% sure Katie Willert from Cracked is on it (eating a breakfast burrito made with seaweed that allegedly tastes like bacon).

The other regular woman from Cracked videos, whose name I forget now but might be Katy Stoll, has a small role in an episode of How I Met Your Mother. Ted goes on a date with her, but rejects her for some reason that I have also forgotten.

Anyway, the Olympics is on TV so I'm watching that! Yay, Olympics! I have heard great things about archery but never watched it before; it's meant to be surprisingly delightful to watch. It's very calm and sedate, probably ideal if you're hungover, but not quite the thrill-a-minute rollercoaster that more popular sports are.

scrolls up three posts

Gosh, has it really been almost half a year since I started watching Marvel films?

Well, I've worked my way through the Captain America and Avengers sequences - just watched Endgame this evening.

I loved them all up to Infinity War and then spent the time between that and Endgame dreading the final instalment (while at the same time desperate to find out what happened.)

Between hints and semi-spoilers, and educated guesswork, I thought I could see roughly how the Infinity War situation was going to be resolved, and also how Steve Rogers' arc was going to be put to bed. (I was actually largely wrong about how it all went down but the overall result was about the same.)

spoiler only in the most general terms
Time paradoxes give me a headache.
And when writers take a perfectly good canonical sad story (I'm a sucker for sad stories) and undo it using time travel because people were sad about it, I hate it on so many levels.

I loved the ending of Endgame. It was a time travel plot, and as a final parting shot at causality they fixed a previously canonical tragedy that was touching and sweet and pushed my emotional buttons. But somehow, they did it in a way that didn't screw with my head. I wouldn't have believed it if you'd told me.


So yeah, I liked it a lot, quite unexpectedly. And having started this interested in one character only, I'm probably going to end up going through a large percentage of the MCU canon, because I love so many of them.

The Thor arc is definitely on the cards (MCU Thor is not what I imagined, but I like him a lot better than I imagined him), and probably Antman (Scott is adorable). Quite likely several others, and I'd previously said that I was interested in Iron Man but didn't like Tony Stark enough - but after Endgame somehow I'm invested in him as a character, so we'll probably end up with that as well.

I think I shall have to acquire the Captain America trilogy on DVD so I can rewatch them because I just love them. And obviously, watching The Falcon and the Winter Soldier goes without saying, but it looks like I'm going to have to temporarily acquire a Disney+ subscription if I want to watch that legally, since they are holding it hostage have no plans to release it on DVD.

My brother got me all of Night Gallery on DVD for Christmas, so I've been watching it from the beginning (this time). I realize standards were lower when my mom was a teenager (when it was on TV), but it's still nowhere near as scary as I was led to believe.

EDIT: I also started watching a new show on ABC called Abbott Elementary, about an underfunded elementary school. I think it's pretty funny.
