0507 gbsb bitching recap

have i ever talked about how much i'm convinced leah is only there to be eliminated as an easy out. like if youve ever watched rupauls drag race, they literally take the most underwhelming person through each week so you can have an easy choice when you get to the final three and OBVIOUSLY the final two WONT be that one shit person who keeps getting taken through also obviously jen and juliet are the strongest sewers- ricardo is a bit of a wild card though and like it baffles me that leah is still there becaues its not like masterchef where youre like oh that looks ok but what does it taste like? you wont know with food but with the clothes you can visually see how SHIT some of the stuff looks? i mean full disclosure honestly personally i hate leah - literally every time she starts a fucking challenge she starts banging on about how she has a 'personal relation' to the international themes ? like ok we get it lmao youre a middle class white woman who does yoga and that...

alita: battle angel review

alita battle angel is a movie based off of this manga, Gunnm/Battle Angel Alita by Yukito Kishiro. Unfortunately, i've never actually read the manga (it's quite an old manga and on top of never reading manga, I've never been a huge fan of cyberpunk as a genre either) so I can't actually tell you how I feel about this as an adaptation from medium to medium. that said, there are very obvious plot points that they've twisted to suit the movie format better, and I actually really appreciate that they did so.

bad times at the el royale review

SPOILERS AHEAD and inconsistent caps the movie bad times at the el royale was a bit of an impulsive watch for me- mainly because i hate thrillers/horror movies. if any of the nitpicking i do seems stupid because these are typical problems IN thrillers, please excuse my ignorance because i literally have no experience with the genre at all and i'm criticising from a wanky perspective. The cast was a really interesting pick - i've never actually watched jeff bridges before, i love cynthia erivo, we all know chris hemsworth, jon hamm i know from Legion. and then dakota johnson being... dakota johnson. honestly, i dont really know what i expected from the movie mostly because, i've also never previously watched the Drew Goddard's work before/cabin in the woods. If you've not watched the trailer, make sure you DO NOT watch the trailer before watching the movie - unless you're totally into spoilers in which, that's fine, watch the trailer and maybe check ...
