I finally watched The Old Guard and really liked it. I wish it were a mini series or something so there was more time to explore the world. I know that it's based on a comic book but I really enjoyed watching it, the music choices and the fight scenes etc.
Does anybody else miss the Mayor? 'I just want to be a big snake.'

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Ooh, I had forgotten that I meant to watch that, so I watched today. Sequel, please!

I read that the Old Guard 2 is pretty much a go.

That's good . We need more Nicky and Joe and also more Andy kicking ass.
Although I have rewatched some of it a few times and am now picking up on errors that I kind of didn't pay attention to the first time around. I was thinking "oho I'd like Corridor Crew to do this as part of their Stuntmen/women watch good and bad stunts" but I'm worried they just pick the bad stuff.
there were a couple of editing mistakes when cutting back to Andy that show Theorn doing something physically different than she should have and then a few times the stunt people reacted a bit too soon.
I wonder if thelibrary has the comic book.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
A filmed production of What The Constitution Means To Me will be streaming on Amazon next week. The trailer doesn't do a great job of conveying what a phenomenal piece of theater this is - none of these clips get at how deeply personal Shreck's story is. (I swear it's not a 90-minute civics lecture.)
I honestly don't know how well it will hold up on a screen, but it is hilarious, important, and will probably make you cry.

Oh, that was a great play, I saw it at Berkeley Rep before it went to NY. So good.
Berkeley Rep is doing a radio play version of It Can't Happen Here, which I saw in December of 2016 (!). At the time it seemed a bit OTT, now not so much.

Consuela, is that from the Sinclair Lewis novel?

Yes, it's an adaptation of the novel. Which I read for book club this last year, as well. Sigh.

Yeah, I read that back in high school(not for class) when it wasn't quite so topical.

I just watched ep.1 of The Haunting of Bly Manor, and I am delighted. I'd love to binge watch it for the rest of the day/night, but Mr. Loomy, who gets creeped out by haunted house stories, said he enjoyed it but would prefer to watch it only during daylight hours.
(This is why we haven't seen The Haunting of Hill House run. We started ep.1, and Mr. Loomy said "I don't think I can deal with this right now, let's revisit it at some point", and that hasn't happened yet.)
