the_rckThe Adventures of Brisco County Jr - This was a rewatch because I keep thinking that I'd like to write something for the show. There are a couple of people who request it pretty regularly. I got the show from the library again to rewatch it and decide whether or not I really would write it. I'm still not sure. I don't want to buy another DVD set just for fic writing purposes, and getting from the library is awkward. I don't have any solid threads for story ideas. I could get some if I pondered. I just don't know if I want to. I'd like the show to have more recurring women, and I think that Lord Bowler, Comet, and John Bly are the characters with the most potential for me to really dig in and excavate.
Ant-Man and the Wasp - It was an MCU movie. Parts were funny. Parts were actiony. People made choices and had feelings. I wasn't invested, but I'm usually not for MCU or DCEU movies. I think my focus of interest is just sufficiently skewed from that of my peers that I stay detached.
Bell, Book and Candle - I watched this as part of my let's-try-things-nominated-for-Yuletide-in-2017 project. I liked the acting and found the characters, as the actors presented them, kind of charming. I just also really, really disliked the underlying premise in terms of what witches innately are. That could have been made interesting with worldbuilding but, as presented, was very much WTF? misogyny. I liked the fallout from the love spell and that it was taken seriously as a violation but also kind of felt that, even with the passage of a lot of time, having a happy, romantic ending for the couple didn't quite work. The actors sold it, though.
Brick - The acting was great. The dialogue and pacing were well done. I also felt like I was watching a single, sustained joke that went on too damned long. I was actually kind of delighted for the first 10-15 minutes, but the movie ran 110 minutes without a single lane change in terms of tone. I’m not 100% certain that it was meant to be a joke, but I’m unwilling to go with it not being without some evidence. It felt like I was watching some very talented film students making Serious Business Noir on a shoestring budget with all of the earnestness of, well, kids.
Christopher Robin - Scott and Cordelia saw this in the theater, and Scott bought a copy when it came out because he'd liked it that much. I found it slight but charming. Pooh wandering the real world and innocently wreaking havoc was a lot of fun to watch because it was very Pooh.
Clouds of Sils Maria - I bounced hard off of this movie but mentioned it to an online friend who then went and watched it and liked it quite a bit. I just felt like I was utterly failing to connect to who any of the characters were. There was a lot of dialogue that I could only follow because of captioning, and I lost the emotional content of it that way. This is the sort of movie where how a word is said matters more than that word's denotation or even connotations do. I stopped watching at the point when I realized that my internal monologue was focused on counting down minutes until the movie was done and at being cranky that there were so damned many minutes left.
The Court Jester - Rewatch. There were a couple of bits that I remembered as being longer. The story flowed along with layers of utter ridiculousness that made Cordelia, who wandered through, stop and stare at the screen in vague horror. I think the pellet-with-the-poison sequence works better with repeated watchings because I can appreciate the performance/choreography more without worrying that I'm losing track of critical plot information. I know now that it's more of a Who's On First routine.
DC Super Hero Girls: Intergalactic Games & Hero of the Year - I’m pretty sure I’d seen both of these movies before. I just didn’t realize that when I saw the DVD on the list of new to the library items. And, really, rewatching was fun. The series is fluffy and doesn’t have shred of meanness in it. I like seeing female friendship centered this way.
DC Super Hero Girls: Legends of Atlantis - This story has multiple threads, one of which involves Supergirl and Batgirl swapping abilities at a point when each has been jealous of the other's abilities. Then they support each other and have a ball figuring out how to do things that way. The Atlantis stuff pretty much works, but I got a bit hung up on the ways that Mera and Siren were drawn. That told me (even before the dialogue made it clear) which of them would be misguided and which would be villainous. I also found myself expecting that the girls would wake Aquaman and have him finish the fight. I was so pleased to be wrong. I'm not sure why I expected it-- No, I know. It's decades of stories going exactly that way.
Dark Matter season 1 DVD 1 - I won't be going forward with this one. I like the idea of a crew waking up in space and none of them remembering who they are or how they got there, but I didn't enjoy the style and flow of the show in terms of violence and visual aesthetics and so on. I think there could be a show with the same starting premise that would be my thing, but I'm not really great with a lot of the trends for SF shows since Battlestar Galactica 2003. Some of them can give me nightmares.
Elementary season 1-3 - After really disliking Sherlock, I was very hesitant to try this show because I’m very picky about mystery shows. I kept it on my list mostly for Lucy Liu as Watson. I watched most of season 1 while we were on vacation with Scott’s family in August, and I really enjoyed it. The cast is solid, and I like the characters, enjoy spending time with them. I may stop for days or weeks between episodes, but I’ve watched several in a day, too. Two thumbs up so far, and I’ll definitely watch more.
Flying Witch season 1 - I adored this anime. It's like Kiki's Delivery Service in certain ways, but the apprentice witch is staying with cousins who she hasn't visited in a long time. Multiple witches in one place are encouraged. But everyone's generally well-meaning, and it's very slice of life. There's a lot of gardening and cooking as well as magical things that simply exist in the interstitial spaces of the human world. The anime follows the manga extremely closely, so watching and reading too close together isn't a thing I'd recommend (although it's what I did). Mostly so as to be able to stretch out what's currently available.
For a Good Time Call - DNF. I suspected that I wouldn’t make it all the way through this one. I got to the point where one character’s parents drop in unexpectedly, and I… I had to empty the dishwasher. When I came back ten minutes later, I decided that I should watch something else. Most comedies don’t work for me because I get too vicariously embarrassed and just can’t keep watching. This one is a couple of roommates going into phone sex business together to pay bills.
Incredibles 2 - I really enjoyed watching this. There are a lot of things that echo events in the first movie in ways that the characters ought to see coming, but the characters are all somehow charming. Part of me really wants to poke at the idea of legislating against power use when some powers are more like sweating than like actions or skills. Hm. I wonder if this world leads to the Sky High world? I could make that work in a fic.
Jurassic World: The Fallen Kingdom - DNF. I wandered out in the middle to brush my teeth and didn’t go back. Scott watched to the end and says I didn’t miss much, nothing unexpected happened. I mean, one doesn’t watch this sort of movie for big reveal plot twists. Cordelia wandered in for 5 minutes and pronounced what was happening on the screen as overkill— giant carnivores, falling lava, and being about to drown? Too much all at once to be taken seriously.
Kind Hearts and Coronets - This was a rewatch. The library DVD lacked captioning, so I had some issues with following the dialogue. I remembered the general outline, but I think I lost the nuances. I was rewatching in hopes that I might be able to write a treat for the movie, but there’s no chance.
Legion season 1 episodes 1-3 - I didn't care. I just didn't. I couldn't find sufficient anchorage to remember events through these episodes. Trying to make the events fit together as a story would have required remembering. I know that this show works spectacularly for some people, but this is another not-for-me thing.
LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes: The Flash - This was better and more fun that Scott and I expected. The plot was pretty predictable in as much as it didn't miss the standard superhero story beats. There's a time loop, and the Flash learning that moving faster isn't always the best direct solution.
The Librarians season 4 - This season had some good episodes and some stinkers. The story arc requires in-world time to pass between specific plot points, and they didn't think through what went in those gaps. I also keep wanting to poke at the season arc to figure out the scaffolding. I'm just not sure the scaffolding is actually there, so it's the plot architecture equivalent of slight of hand.
The Man in the Iron Mask - DNF. I got 15 minutes in and mostly just wanted to smack DiCaprio and send him for acting lessons. Some of the other actors seemed better, and the sets and costumes were pretty, but… I was going to keep getting crankier and crankier, and I had a dozen other things from the library.
The Misfits season 1 episode 1 - DNF. Scott and I watched this together, and he noped out before I did. It's a British show with a bunch of teenagers who're doing court ordered community service and who get superpowers due to a freak storm. The premise could be used in a show that we'd have liked, but this one was clearly aimed at a not-us audience. There was a lot of smoking and swearing (which fit the characters and setting) and a lot of harassment/bullying within the group. There was a general feeling of violence that didn't work for us but might work for someone who likes grimmer and grittier stuff about characters with superpowers.
Murder She Wrote season 4 - Some of these have not aged well. Others have aged better. I still find Jessica Fletcher charming, but the hairstyles and the shoulder pads and… Was there ever poly fic for this with Jessica/Seth/Amos? Someone must have written that. Unless they were too repelled by the idea of ‘old’ people having sex. There was one episode set in a convent school, and there were scenes in the church. I kept looking at those and trying to figure out what was wrong (apart from having enough nuns under 30 to fill a small choir). I think I actually exclaimed aloud when I realized that it was because the pews were too close together. There was room to sit or stand but not enough space to kneel. I’d been certain it wasn’t a Catholic church, but it took me a while to figure out why.
No Ordinary Family DVD 1-2 - While on vacation, a family of four is in a plane crash (small plane, water landing). When they get home, they all discover they have superpowers. So far as they know, they're the only ones. The show didn't run more than a season. It's a Berlanti show and has things that echo his more recent works. The family tries to figure out ethics and control and concealing their powers. There's some sort of conspiracy in the background that includes other people with powers. I could see that last becoming something that could go for multiple seasons (this show only got one season, and we haven't watched all of it yet).
Oceans 8 - All three of us wanted to see this one, and I managed to get in early on the library waitlist. I enjoyed the movie but don’t remember all that much in the way of details. It was refreshing to see a movie with so very many women who weren’t chasing men.
Person of Interest season 5 - I felt reasonably satisfied with how the series ended. I’d have loved an everybody lives version, but things tied up reasonably well and in ways that fit the characters. I’m not keen on what happened with Root in a broader cultural context way. It fit the story and her character arc, but… Anyway, still a good show that I enjoyed a lot.
Rififi - DNF. Too violent for me.
Sabrina - This only worked for me to the extent that I enjoyed watching Audrey Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart and would likely enjoy them reading the menus at each other. I have problems with wanting to like romantic comedies because I can watch them with the certainty that things will work out, but the tropes used to create tension and complications make my shoulders crunch together in anxiety. It’s not so much sympathy for the characters as horror at what they’re doing and the terrible choices they’re making (and they pretty much always do). At any rate, I wanted to send all of these characters to therapy and make sure they never interacted with each other again.
She-Ra and the Princesses of Power (2018) - I'm old enough that I never saw the original series, so I had no nostalgia for the show to live up to (or be carried by). I had a few moments of wondering about the wisdom of the villains wanting to destroy the world they were living in. Possibly later seasons will clarify why that's not suicidal. I liked most of the characters and didn't care very much about the episodic plots except as vehicles for the characters. I kind of want a better explanation for Entrapta than canon has so far provided (yes, I have a story idea that would make it make sense to me).
Sliding Doors - I was more interested in the gimmick of this movie-- whatever was letting us follow the two different timelines-- than I was in anything that happened to the characters. I’m 99% certain that I wasn’t supposed to wonder about it at all and just regard what I was seeing as two stories, either of which could have happened. If the movie were a fic, it would have tags for infidelity, unplanned pregnancy, and miscarriage. I knew that last had to be coming because the blurb on the box said that the divergent timelines would converge again. Adding a pregnancy without the miscarriage to either or both timelines would make convergence impossible, given two different fathers and different timing and all that.
Solo - DNF. At ten minutes in, I wanted to punch everyone on the screen. After that, I just kept wandering away and missing large parts of the movie. I stopped about halfway through when I realized that, although I’d heard most of what happened, I hadn’t actually looked at the screen in the last hour. Part of that was that, every time I did look, the images on the screen were dark enough that the details were muddy.
Some Like It Hot - DNF. I kept wanting to walk away in order to avoid the humor because I didn’t find anything with the guys interacting with Monroe’s character funny, just squicky. I watched about half of the movie and could see this as the ancestor of many other movies (and, I’m sure, the descendant of many other stories).
The Spy Who Dumped Me - DNF. When I got this from the library, I was kind of hoping for unexpected competence from the characters. What I watched was the sort of comedy that makes me flee the room when other people are watching it, so I stopped. I gave it 20-30 minutes and just couldn't.
Teen Titans Go! to the Movies - This was a lot of fun. I'm not sure why Teen Titans Go embarrassment humor doesn't make me cringe, but it doesn't. The movie has a lot of Easter eggs. I think that it's helped by the fact that the voice actors are so talented and so experienced with the characters. The after credits scene was heartbreaking, though, and I don't think I'm over it (because I'm still not over how Teen Titans ended, never will be).
Waiting for Guffman - I was very distracted by other things while watching this, so I don’t think I fully appreciated the through lines of the characterization. I did recognize the types when I was able to stop and pay attention. I found it funny but not in a laugh out loud way and not in a way that made me care about seeing the rest. It was more in an I wish this wasn’t how people work way.
Won't You Be My Neighbor? - I cried a couple of times. Cordelia watched with us but didn't understand why Scott and I were so emotionally involved. I tried to get her to watch Mr Rogers reruns when she was small, but she was never interested. That means that she doesn't have the same sort of connection to the show or to Fred Rogers.
Ant-Man and the Wasp - It was an MCU movie. Parts were funny. Parts were actiony. People made choices and had feelings. I wasn't invested, but I'm usually not for MCU or DCEU movies. I think my focus of interest is just sufficiently skewed from that of my peers that I stay detached.
