2023 Media Review

[mumblemumble]

Since I have been keeping track of these things and might as well put them here, a summary of things I watched last year! (I didn't read any books.)

If it's a show, it goes under the month in which I finished it. Oh, and I'm excluding all the Hallmark stuff and German fairytale movies I binged around the holidays, and some random things I watched on Netflix, like that Bernie Madoff deep-dive. Rewatches are marked with an *asterisk.

Aww, Due South!! ♥

How were the later seasons of Mrs. Maisel? I found the whole Shy Baldwin mess so stressful, I stopped watching at the end of season 3. /o\

[mumblemumble]

Awww, Fraser! 👍♥️♥️

I remember the entire show generally being a stressful watch, just from how fast-paced and focused on very difficult relationships it was 😅, but yeah, the Shy Baldwin stuff was hard. I would recommend you pick it up again; the final season isn't particuarly fluffy, but I think it's rewarding in the end. Let me know if you'd like some more detailed info and I'll try to remember!

Ha, my partner and I recently watched our way through The Man in the High Castle, in which Callum Keith Rennie has a small part and makes some morally questionable decisions; my partner kept saying, "Fraser would be so disappointed in you." ;-)

Rewarding is good. Maybe I'll give it another shot. Thanks! <3

[mumblemumble]

Haha! Be better, Ray! :-D

Hope you enjoy if you pick it up again! <3

you watched old fashion cupcake!! would i like it? i keep meaning to watch both it and cherry magic.

also is royal blue—is that red white and royal blue? which i also have not seen though i devoured the novel. mostly in love with the idea of a democratic female president with a latino son. a girl can dream.

what will you watch this year??? TELL US ALL ABOUT IT

[mumblemumble]

I'm not sure that you'd like Old Fashion Cupcake, but now I want you to watch it to see if our experiences match. :-D It's very sweet, and only 5 episodes, so basically an afternoon and you're done. 🧁

And yes! I never finished the book, oops, but the movie was very much live-action fanfic and I appreciated being pandered to. Like, tasteful~ sex scenes with reverent touches and witty murmurings? DON'T MIND IF I DO.

I'M GOING TO SEE ONLY THE RIVER FLOWS IN LESS THAN TWO WEEKS, FUCK YEAH. Otherwise oh gosh I guess I have to finally watch Sand Sea this year. And The Lost Tomb 1, fuck it, let's complete the whole stupid set.

[lunarriviera]

YOu"RE [sic] GONNA SEE ONLY THE RIVER FLOWS???????!!!!!!???????? \o/ !!!

cherry magic and cupcake are both on MDL so...maybe 2024 i will finally watch one or both. not looking forward to understanding zero japanese but one must branch out occasionally i suppose.

IF YOU WATCH SHA HAI I WILL WATCH IT WITH YOU

[mumblemumble]
