"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Here's my current watch list:

JZ and I are watching Wednesday and enjoying it quite a lot.

Going into it I expected it to be more like the Addams Family movies, but in reality it's very much Dark Academia Hogwarts. So if the idea of a Slytherin lead rooming with a Huffelpuff at magic school while they try to suss out the evident crush the headmistress had on your mother when they were roomies whilst digging into a Monster On The Loose and various secret societies is your thing....then this is your thing.

Jenna Ortega is fantastic as Wednesday, with perfectly pitched dark humor/snark tone but with an interesting undercurrent of Wednesday being a bit ADHD or possibly on the spectrum.

She had a dance bit at the Yule Ball, I mean Raven's Ball, to the Cramps "Goo Goo Muck" which was both incredibly funny and goofy and also very cool. My favorite dance scene on a TV show since Aubrey Plaza's dance in Legion to Nina Simone.

Here is the dance scene if you need an enticement: [link]

There's a bit of Gilmore Girls, a bit of Twin Peaks, direct references to the Addams family movies (and the TV show), and a whole lot of Hogwarts.

Gwendoline Christie as a gigantic and gorgeous Hitchcock Blonde headmistress is my favorite other element.

All three of us are catching up on Only Murders In the Building.

I am myself watching The Peripheral and enjoying that a lot.

We have yet to watch Interview With The Vampire but that's next in our queue.

Oh, and we've started to watch A League of Their Own.

Apparently if you're enough of a power nerd, there is nothing that cannot be flowcharted.

Oh, and we've started to watch A League of Their Own.

It is so fucking good. I'm a little surprised it got made, honestly.

Nice. Sigh, there is too much TV. I have been trying to watch so little of it and I still am way behind! But this does look right up my alley - as long as I didn't know that for sure I could pretend it wasn't hanging over me needing to be watched

Thanks for the motivation; I completed my tasks!

Enjoying solitude is more important than cleaning up!

Preach!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Well, the county closed school today because of the plane-induced power outage. So tomorrow will be his first day. Still worried.

I don't know what happened, JenP, but your [link] does not appear to actually be a link

Plane-induced power outage? Good luck tomorrow, then, Sheryl.
