Hi estella! I saw your post about Frantz and and then I read about the movie - I will definitely watch it! Thank you for writing about it!
Last night I watched for the second time “Cloud Atlas” and I was brought to tears again. I wanted to ask you if you watched it and what you think. I have a feeling the book will be more shattering, I still hadn’t a chance to read it. All this intertwining of destinies, predestinations, impossible love between two men (Ben Whishaw!), the anti-utopian story, the fateful significance of the decisions we make, etc. And last but not least, the great performances of all the actors!
Thank you for your amazing edits you make of Timmy!!! I love them and always look forward to them! ❤️💫❤️
You're very welcome 🤗 . Ah, I'm so glad you're planning to watch FRANTZ. I came across its name while reading a CMBYN review (two days ago) and, quite frankly, remembering that I'd seen a selfie of Timmy with François Ozon the director might've made up my mind to watch it. I went in thinking it was one thing but it turned out to be quite something else. And I have to say, I loved not being able to see where the story is taking the viewer.
As for CLOUD ATLAS, I watched it a few years ago and didnt like it that much. Which might be my fault coz I always expect so much from the Wachowskis. I felt Cloud Atlas was too sprawling and figuring out who's-playing-who-again? is almost too distracting. But yes, I can imagine a second viewing might be far more rewarding. As it is, I remember Hugh Grant and Tom Hanks doing a good job and that the Frobisher storyline was the best bit. But then again I dont think I've ever seen Ben Whishaw in a role he has not delivered on. The man is amazing. Even when he's a bear. ❤️
Speaking of PADDINGTON, I wasnt quite sure how I felt about the director for that -Paul King- helming WONKA. While the PADDINGTON films are warm and cuddly they dont hit any high notes for me other than the jungle scenes (specially the dream sequence in the sequel). But I looked him up and he directed the tv show THE MIGHTY BOOSH and that gives me a lot of hope. TMB is a surreal, bonkers tv series that is a genius blend of weird and wacky. I'd say it's rule-bending but it just flat out throws the rule book out of the window while driving thru a forest...with a shaman and a talking gorilla in the backseat. So yeah high hopes are back on the menu.
Thank you so much for your compliment 🙈. I do love making these weird little edits. At some point I ought to look into why I enjoy what is essentially a version of playing with dolls but till then I'm going to enjoy this silliness 😘😘😘

I think the devil judge is the perfect Kdrama to watch if someone isn't usually into Kdramas. Like myself, I personally was never interested in these before,because I saw a bunch of clips from other Kdramas and I find some of the male characters kind of too pretty or girlish (I guess that is kind of the beauty standard in Korea?). Devil Judge in general is just a great drama,with wonderful performances and intriguing characters, I would recommend it to everyone.
Oh I totally agree with you - I think The Devil Judge is a great introductory kdrama for people if they’ve ever been curious to try non-western media or a kdrama.
It’s kinda funny though because I’ve had a couple people make comments to me that they never considered watching a kdrama before until they saw gifsets of TDJ or how surprised they were by the different gifsets. And I do get it because, if I can make some very broad generalizations here, I think maybe the genre is just so commonly associated with court costume dramas or romance dramas. I’d say Bollywood is the same way - it’s easy to just assume all it is is some song and dance productions.
But there’s truly so much breadth and depth to these genres and I honestly believe if you’re willing to read subtitles then you’ll find some amazing pieces of media to enjoy.
All we have to do is be willing to step outside our comfort zone and look around for different things to try. I know I continue to be pleasantly surprised by all the amazing and unique shows I’ve found to watch!

I think it was like a deleted scene, cause I remember those undies from the scene where he's playing guitar and Ali's sister says something like "The guitar feels cold against his balls"?
