I didn’t know Lisa from blackpink went solo but that performance was awful. Songs were bad, all the wide shots can’t disguise that she isn’t bothering to move her mouth to lip sync half the song

Pachinko episode 4 was a masterwork I felt like I going to cry the whole episode. The adaptation is better than the book and I liked the book! The choice to flip between and parallel sunja and her grandson!!!!!!!
Spamton lore (per this and other reading) is “noelle copied weird numbers from a spam email into her not-catz mod and a pipis appeared and crashed her game… and she petted it and it left… insane.
@PurpleRockPod
God I was thinking they handled it relatively well in the first episode but then the second episode happened and everything got way way worse
Sabrina Carpenter understood the assignment, love triangle with woman-coded alien and the MTV astronaut to taste, making out with the alien, lead into espresso with a legion of astronauts behind her, absolutely delightful
#VMAs
Finding Magic Mike was fun, all of the guys had something interesting except for Ross, who just gave cocky douchebag dom vibes (in an unfun way) the entire time
The one good part of the previous funny girl casting was making fun of Lea Michele NOT being cast and being effectively blackballed for being an asshole. And here we are anyway.
No reason to have the final live shot of the contestants not be the triumphant winner, but levar burton “interviewing” instead the visibly distraught second place finisher

doom patrol musical episode unequivocally one of the best musical episodes! there was a ton of singing and dancing, and everything was in service to the characters! Everything made sense, it was a delightful, and just enough references (SING OUT LOUISE) to make me giggle
@DudeSkipper
Considering the other adaptation obviously doesn’t get the book (or, should I say, made a choice not to focus on it)…at all…enjoyed reading your perspective
Love Chappell Roan but her VMAs performance was underwhelming. Liked the knight outfit, liked the theming, wished there was more of a story or it was a medley and not just Good Luck, Babe. I know it’s her big song but still!
#VMAs
Having surgery on my right wrist in a few hours! My Dequervains tendonitis never went away so here we are. If this goes well I’ll get the other one done after recovery. Good vibes/thoughts/prayers are appreciated.
Got my bandages off! No PT prescribed “life will be my therapy” no lifting 20 pounds, and told to moisturize and massage scar tissue 3x/day. (I still remember my PT exercises, so. Can always ask at follow up) I’ll be sore for a while yet, prob 6mo.
@saoirseegot
Weekly releases give me something to look forward to and, more importantly, they foster discussion vs ‘if you haven’t mainlined every episode from the second it dropped at 3am you will get spoiled and the fandom will essentially lose steam in under a week’
That freestyle love supreme Recap was…bad and also lazy because most of it was just Re singing earlier acts, no lyric changes??? Like damn when you have wheels of a dream end on that call it a day we don’t need more LMM
#TonyAwards
Finally catching up on doom patrol and youth patrol had it all…Larry/Mr. 104, Jane and her shared body, Rita/Laura, the entire reference to the Jughead “I’m a weirdo” speech…
So this weeks episode of survivor was a WHOLE MESS. Women discussing how they were creeped out by Dan’s unwanted touching turns into “IT WAS A GAME STRATEGY U GUYS” and Janet is rightfully furious about this and is thrown under the bus and Jamal gets voted out
This is weirder than I expected it to be like they only sung the first four lines,
Megan thee stallion came in and then they sung a verse about the Oscars? Lmao the theater kids must be seething
Known racist and shit person Camila Cabello is miscast as Cinderella (can’t act, can’t sing, can’t be not racist) but the whole thing looks like a travesty. It looks cheap! The script seems awful! “We’re going to make her a businesswoman!” And her dress looks awful.
The Andalite Chronicles
In this prequel book, Elfangor's best friend Arbron gets stuck in the body of a Taxxon, a giant alien centipede with insatiable, perpetual hunger.
Elfangor then deserts his post and hides as a human on Earth, where he co-creates Windows OS.
@yugiohtas
There’s a reason for years I thought this game killed the series honestly. It has some stuff I like but Apollo felt like he was bodily dragged through the whole game by everybody. I was so disappointed when I first played it, it get lacking.
The best part of DC’s Pride issue was Kevin Conroy’s story but coming in second was the music meister and phantom of the opera as the setting for connor’s story because those are for me, personally.
So far
#QuantumLeap
2022 is a show with a bloated cast that adds nothing, a pigeonholed love interest who can’t act and has no discernible character besides sad and in love, and no actual care to the leap-ee’s story. Or sense of period beyond David Bowie songs.
The Metal Gear Solid movie WILL be a mess but I’m looking forward to Oscar Isaac playing traumatized bisexual icon Solid Snake. They better keep the booty harness sneaking suit. For fidelity.

’s recipe after I saw her on the munchies YouTube channel! Checked out her cookbook from the library, and made a half portion of the sriracha tofu variation! (Other half tomorrow) I’ll pull this out to entertain guests when I have lunch guests again.
We all know Scripps didn’t want the trend of multiple winners to continue but they swung the pendulum far too hard in the other direction.(and the telecast was just as long, but with far less content)
#SpellingBee
Belated thanks all for well-wishes! I’ve been all wrapped up and resting! Phone not conducive to one hand use! Also I saw a full bright rainbow today! Full arc! Gorgeous!
Wandavision being a weekly thing/event vs Netflix dumping all of a season at once and effectively killing fandom if you’re immediately Sure it’s fun to binge but waiting gives you something to look forward to.
@gplowe92
rafael has just been.....so terrible this season (and I never had a horse in the ship debates) but I'm over here like 'what am I supposed to be thrilled about this????'
Any day I get to crush my coworkers at trivia is a good day. (I’m sure some of them will be happy to see me move on so they have a fighting chance again)
Netflix has removed the new anti-password sharing rules from their website, stating that they were posted as an error and are not yet applicable to the U.S.

I’ve wanted the flash (cw) to end for years and I stopped watching last year and I’m glad it’s ending but I really did make a lot of great friends in that fandom. (A big reason why I’m on here, you know who you are.)
Centuries by Fall Out Boy is on the radio every so often and it’s just a little treat for me to imagine my elaborate eobard thawne amv. (That song was on every 8tracks mix for him for a reason)
Had my performance review, fully expected to cry through the whole thing, didn’t cry at all, got scored higher than expected by my boss, higher than I rated myself when I was trying to be optimistic. What a weird feeling.
Got my PCR back, according to it I don’t have Covid but I got tested the day after I knew about exposure (which was probably the day after exposure) so either I was too early (likely!) or I have a suspiciously timed case of feeling bleh.
Spirit of Justice is genuinely the Ace Attorney game I remember least. Dual Destinies at least had Apollo having a breakdown and crushing amounts of gay sadness
I can’t believe Riverdale actually had a good sex scene. It helps that they’re all adults and that it’s barchie but WHEW it was a smash cut from nothing to SHOWER SEX
Another new Spider-Man trailer, another new opportunity to say the MCU really fucked up the intrinsic appeal of Spidey by attaching him so much to Tony fucking Stark and all his cash vs letting him be a poor kid from Queens with limited superhero resources
Banging my pots and pans together like being “mature” and “serious” doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have bright colors in superhero costumes muted tones are boring
