Democracy in Action
October 23, 2022
On August 24, municipal election signs sprouted in Ottawa faster than flowers in the spring. Like overnight. They set the election for October 24. The candidates heavily sprinkled all major street intersections with signs in assorted colors. And there were a few humongous signs, noticeable from a distance; the candidate probably thought a few large signs are as good as numerous…

it’s actually really funny to me that natla is like “we’re appealing to a game of thrones audience, this show isn’t for LITTLE BABIES anymore” and yet they don’t even have the nerve to give zuko an actual burn scar. they just applied some red eyeshadow and called it a day. how are you gonna market yourself as dark and edgy when you can’t even hold your violence to the same standards as a nickelodeon y-7 cartoon?? pussies.
#natla#their budget was $5 and a stick of gum#it’s giving party city it’s giving spirit halloween it’s giving ricky’s#it’s giving cowardice it’s giving futility it’s giving redundancy#anyone who is excited for this shit is a sheep. sorry

JOSETTE DAY in BEAUTY AND THE BEAST (1946)
Josette’s grace and sensitive acting astonish me. As Beauty she has the naïveté, the simplicity and just that suggestion of superiority of someone who has seen things which her family have not even dreamt about. She dominates Ludovic, is protective of her father, but returns to her old surroundings without the least shame. She spoke her line: “Who has done my washing?” dressed in pearls, tulle, silk and gold, yet even so without losing her simple manner. - JEAN COCTEAU
#the disney live action WISHES#i still haven't recovered from the horror of emma watson and the tragic costumes#that yellow flop of a dress! what kind of party city budget were they even working on?!#beauty and the beast#josette day#the silver screen#filmedit#*

Wait. Wasn't William Dey british? Did they bury him in National City away from his family? Or did they all transplant to the US?
If they did bury him in the UK, it could have been really cool for Lena (who is IRISH) to be like, hey I'll meet you guys later, and take a side trip to Ireland to visit her childhood home.
#thoughts#random realization#that would be hilarious#hey we dont have the budget to ship you back to your family#but here have a plot in this random city you worked and died in

every town should have at least one Wailing Spot which is an open, isolated field where you can go and scream all you want. There could be a booking system like hospitals or classy restaurants. At the Wailing Spot you have 20 minutes to wail, weep, rip your hair out, or collapse onto your knees like a grief-stricken character from a period drama. ZERO JUDGEMENT. What happens at the Wailing Spot stays at the Wailing Spot. Wailing Spot, just what you need to go through the horrifying ordeal of human existence! You can have one free cigarette and a (small) cup of bitter coffee after. Please refer to our box office attendee

the insanity of making a new streaming service when the streaming bubble is literally popping Right Now
#liz blogs#watcher#its sink or swim and these boys are already sinking#even the corporations are starting to merge because people arent paying for 20 different services#it would have been at least a little less stupid if they joined an already existing service#insane that instead of looking at their budget and cutting out some of the unnecessary fluff they opted for streaming#this is gonna backfire soooo bad. anyway i'll be here when they come back to youtube#why are y'all living in one of the most expensive cities in the world. moving out of cali would honestly free up so much budget lmfao

My late summer 2023 cdrama updates (+ movies)
This is a follow-up to a previous post I published in February. I'm thinking of doing twice-yearly updates on what I'm watching! I'm also including a few movies this time.
I'm going to try to include content warnings, BUT my memory is not perfect, so please be aware that I may have forgotten details.
Shows I've watched:
Some of these were mentioned as "currently watching" in my previous post.
《消失的孩子》 The Disappearing Child
As the title suggests, this show is a mystery about a child who goes missing. It also incorporates other plotlines that gradually converge—that's all I'll say to avoid spoiling it. The payoff when the plotlines finally intersect was so satisfying! Overall I really enjoyed this show and highly recommend it. Be aware that it does have references to sexual assault and corpses (I don't think anything was directly shown).
《猎罪图鉴》 Under the Skin
This show is about a sketch artist, a police detective, and an old murder case that connects them. I enjoyed the first half, which mostly chronicled stand-alone cases. But I found some cases hard to follow (disclaimer: my police vocab is limited, and I took several breaks while watching). Frankly I was a bit disappointed by the ending, so I don't think I'll watch the upcoming second season. Warning: contains some depictions of sexual assault and domestic violence.
《她和她的她》 Shards of Her
To avoid spoiling anything, I'll just say that this show is about a woman who, after experiencing a traumatic accident, wakes up in an alternate version of her life. This show had me constantly doubting what was real and what was fake! I really couldn't get it out of my head. BUT I ultimately wouldn't recommend it due to what I found to be pretty disturbing sexual violence. I don't think there was anything too graphic, but I had to take significant breaks between episodes due to the upsetting content.
《镇魂》 Guardian
I knew virtually nothing about this show (I thought it was steampunk tbh) but had heard good things. It's hard to summarize...basically it follows a police bureau that handles supernatural cases and, with some help from a mysterious, powerful envoy, saves the world. My favorite part was the first half, when they were mostly solving stand-alone cases. I got a bit fatigued during the second half. But it was perfect for when I wanted to unwind after work. Warning: the ending left me upset, and the special effects are hilariously bad.
《模仿犯》 Copycat Killer
This is probably one of the most violent and death-heavy shows I've ever seen (and that's coming from someone who has seen Criminal Minds and part of Hannibal). It's about an unconventional prosecutor and a sadistic serial killer who uses the media to cause mass panic. Without spoiling it, I'll just say you need to be prepared for murder, torture, suicide, and other violent imagery. This show is not for the faint of heart—I could barely finish it, honestly. There are no happy endings for this kind of show.
Movies I've watched:
《想见你》（电影版） Someday or One Day (Movie)
This long-anticipated film adaptation was a letdown for me personally. Instead of simply condensing the show, they made A LOT of changes. I'm not against changes, but the plot of the movie was way too confusing for me to follow. I'm not even going to try summarizing it here. If you haven't seen the show, I think you'll be completely lost. If you have seen the show, you'll be wishing you were rewatching the show instead.
《消失的她》 Lost in the Stars
I'll admit, I only went to see this to see 朱一龙. The premise is very Hitchcock—a man is nearly driven over the edge after his wife vanishes and a woman he has never met appears, claiming to be his wife. There are lots of twists and turns, and I did not see the ending coming at all. Personally, I wish it had less action and more elements of a psychological thriller. It was a fun summer movie, but it wasn't anything groundbreaking. But that's OK!
《关于我和鬼变成家人的那件事》 Marry My Dead Body
I barely knew anything about this film before I watched it. I only knew it had 许光汉, and I saw a lot of buzz online. It's about a homophobic police officer who enters into a ghost marriage with a (male) ghost. Frankly, I didn't like it that much. I did enjoy seeing the characters' growth, but the plot was very fast-paced, so I didn't have time to process anything that happened. Please note: there is rear nudity and some limited depictions of sex.
Currently watching:
《隐秘的角落》 The Bad Kids
After hearing about how great this show is for years, I'm finally checking it out. I've only seen the first episode so far, but I'm really excited to see what's to come! It's about three children who accidentally film a murder. That's really all I know at this point.
《我们与恶的距离》 The World Between Us
I haven't even finished the first episode of this show yet. I started it but decided to pause because I felt like I was juggling too many shows. I plan to revisit it after I finish some other shows. I know it's about the aftermath of a mass shooting, so I'm expecting it to be very grim.
《不良执念清除师》 Oh No! Here Comes Trouble
I saw a lot of praise for this show online. It's a bit odd but in an endearing way. It follows a young man who discovers he inherited a mystical power after all sorts of strange beings start coming to him for help. So far the only thing I disliked was the gore.
《你的孩子不是你的孩子》 On Children
This show is kind of like Black Mirror but with the theme of troubled parent-child relationships. Each episode is practically a movie, and I have only finished one so far. If you are not on good terms with your parents, it may bring up some painful memories.
Potentially abandoning:
《理智派生活》 The Rational Life
I started this drama because I was curious about the premise—a professional woman's ups and downs in the workplace. There is also a slow romance (a 姐弟 romance since the male lead is much younger). However, after finishing episode 23 out of 35, the thought of watching 12 more episodes kinda fills me with dread.
《你安全吗？》 Are You Safe?
This show is about "vigilante" hackers and the antics they get up to. It's supposed to raise awareness for cybersecurity. Honestly I don't think I have made any progress on this show since my last post...! I may just abandon it because there are a lot of other shows that have more successfully caught my interest.
I can't wait to share another update on what I'm watching/have watched in 6 months or so!
#my watchlist#cdrama#cdramas#chinese drama#taiwanese drama#I have a bad habit of seeing people mention some show/movie/webnovel and diving into it knowing next to nothing#I'm also watching 披荆斩棘2 but I'm not including reality shows in this#吴慷仁 is in EVERYTHING#I was so shocked by the 炎亚纶 cameo in 关于我和鬼变成家人的那件事#I'm used to cancelled celebs being scrubbed from the internet#yes it includes 许光汉's butt#can someone explain to me why the wig budget for some of these shows is so low#cough guardian and 她和她的她 cough#like we're talking party city type wigs#the kids on the bad kids are so adorable#I hope they will be OK

After over a year of searching, I finally found my sword. Poetically, I found it at Enchanted Knights, the medieval fantasy-themed gift shop of my childhood family vacations to Mackinaw City. It's been over a decade since I last stepped foot into these hallowed halls, and I can think of no place more fitting to find the sword I've searched for so long.
#Sword Quest 2: Journey to Mackinaw City#Enchanted Knights#I also got a precious overprices pewter dragon figurine and a thicc gorgon plushie#And two books on mythology#God this store is so good it was such a temptation to blow my whole vacation budget there alone#Got other stuff to do yet though
