ironymaiden: Cartoon television with devil horns (tv)
there has been much watching of things:
The Eternals was fine. really pretty, avoided a lot of Marvel movie tropes, but had the problem of bland leads surrounded by an interesting and fun supporting cast. it was much funnier than I had been led to believe and had some lovely character work. did you miss anything if you skipped it? an awesome black gay superhero! other than that, the mid and post credits introducing some stuff that will probably still send you to google (unless you were lucky enough to be sitting beside [personal profile] mimerki).

Peacemaker is delighting me. three episodes have dropped so far; if you like Archer you should give this a try - reprehensible people with sad lives do dirty off-books work for the US government. little bit superhero, little bit workplace comedy, lots of tits and gore. James Gunn wrote all of it and directed most of it, so that will also probably tell you what you need to know. due to this being contemporary "real" world, there are a lot of Tarantino-esque quotable exchanges about mundane or pop culture stuff which is also my jam. and holy shit the period metal soundtrack: Gunn's Spotify playlist and the (unskippable to me) opening credits dance number.

The Matrix Resurrections was better than i expected. nothing earth-shaking because they did that in 1999. was it necessary? nah, none of the sequels were. it's very very meta, which i would say is the only way that you could do the thing at all. Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss have grown into much better actors and still have excellent chemistry. a lot of pixels have been spilled on the trans narratives in the Matrix films, i like this piece: The Matrix Resurrections is a trans love story.

The Witcher season two watch is complete, and now we've looped back to season one and are enjoying it much more on the rewatch with all the context. season two has one overarching story and leans hard into Ciri and Geralt's found family narrative. if you thought season one was just okay, or you bounced off but still feel like this is something you ought to like, try watching this 15-min recap of season one in chronological order then jump into season 2.

The Book of Boba Fett is in progress. it's fine. it's one of those shows that goes back and forth between the past and the present and so far the past story is more interesting than the present (even though i love Ming-Na Wen and want her to have all the fun jobs). i appreciate that the show low-key has a bunch of disabled folks, the leads are POC, and the one white dude in the cast who has appeared more than once is a receptionist.

the meanest town in America story is preying on me. knowing she has a ticket out of that place doesn't make it better.

Amazon Rank should be clearly defined. the more people link to it, the easier it will be for people who would like to learn about Amazon Rank to find it on Google.

i don't have friends in the right places, but maybe you do. please pass this info on to friends and family you may have in the state of Washington in the targeted districts. (map of Washington state legislative districts) what matters is a constituent making a contact that is not a form contact.

expanding Washington's domestic partnership law may not be a cakewalk this time.

via slog

The Faith and Freedom Network, a group "committed to preserving traditional Judeo-Christian values," is using its blog to wage a war on the domestic partnership bill. The Family Policy Institute of Washington is also crusading against the measure.
..snip...
The Faith and Freedom Network blog goes on to list the following phone numbers:

'They need to hear from you.

Dale Brandland, district 42 — 360-786-7682
Curtis King, district 14 — 360-786-7626
Cheryl Pfluge, district 5 — 360-786-1999

Secondly, these Democrats will be up for election next year. Ones with an asterisk (*) by their names have one or more Republican seat mates.

Claudia Kaufman, district 47 — 360-786-7692
Steve Hobbs, district 44 — 360-786-7686
*Chris Marr, district 6 — 360-7867610
Eric Oemig, district 45 — 360-786-7672
Rodney Tom, district 48 — 360-786-7694
*Derek Kilmer, district 26 — 360-786-7650
*Tracey Eide, district 30 — 360-786-7658

The following two senators are not up for reelection next year, but have Republican seat mates.

Jim Kastama, district 25 — 360-786-7648
Mary Margaret Haugen, district 10 — 360-786-7618'

don't look this up before you formulate an answer. (you may know this actor from The Music Man or perhaps if you are around my age, The Last Starfighter.)

Robert Preston: gay or straight?

my answer and the most probable truth )
