rainy day movies

August 3, 2021

It’s been raining so much the past two weeks that Muffin and I burned through a ton of movies, streamies (?) and classic TV.

movies

black widow - an uninspired movie, but wow is Florence Pugh terrific. Saw her first in Little Women, then in Midsommar. Her comic chops in BW are the best part of the movie.
army of the dead - uniniteresting other than the anti-zombie hyperviolence, and the surprisingly good job by Dave Bautista. Been watching for him since I first saw his work in Hotel Artemis. I’d never seen him before that. Sorry, wrestling fans!

behind her eyes - excellent acting, so-so story, ludicrous ending
made for love - paranoid scifi about Big Tech. Pretty good.
we are lady parts - engaging and consistently-funny series about an all-girl Muslim punk band in the UK. Only 6 episodes.

finished all of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Love Willow, Spike, and Anya. The others were wearing on me by the end.
started Angel (BtVS spinoff), just started season 2. Love Angel and Wesley, and the theme song is epic. Annoyed by Cordelia, Darla, and Gunn. Wish I weren’t so thirsty for Detective Kate. Can’t wait for more Lorne and Fred. Dreading the appearance of Connor.
Picking up episodes of House and Burn Notice when I need a break from Angel/Buffy. House is excellent, and Burn Notice is a guilty pleasure

Eagerly awaiting new seasons of Killing Eve, Watchmen, Westworld, Star Trek: Lower decks, Barry, and What We Do in the Shadows.
