#TheVampiresGhost (1945) is such an interesting relic of the genre. A very loose adaptation of Polidori's #TheVampyre (there are no ghosts), but transposed to a fictional African country.
It dips into some of the exoticism you might expect, but adds interesting elements – like the drum talk!

#LaVenueDeLAvenir (called #ColoursOfTime in English, unfortunately) is the perfect movie for anyone who liked #MidnightInParis, and wondered what a deeper-cutting French version would look like.
Full of art, heart, humor, and the timelessness of humanity.

#Peacemaker S2 ep 1 SPOILERS

Love this. But where is Metamorpho??
(Oh wait, I guess this is from before #Superman, but still. No mention of Metamorpho at Peacemaker's audition is unforgivable. 😆)

I finally finished #LoveDeathAndRobots vol. 4!
Wasn't the top season for me – there were a few I really liked, but the quality of the storytelling fell off sharply by the second half of the list.
(It all sure LOOKS great, though.)

#DyingForSex is v. good (career bests for Michelle Williams & Jenny Slate) – but watching the end / starting my Sunday a blubbering mess maybe wasn't my best decision. 😭
Really, though: it's super-funny, too. I want to emphasize that. 😆 And I learned a lot about a sexual world that's not my own.

Ahhh, nice! I was excited for #EyesOfWakanda to see MCU history through these 4 eps, but I didn't realize the episodes would coincide with turning points in our history as well!
1st ep is set during one of my biggest periods of fascination: the Bronze Age collapse, with the mysterious Sea People.

#DraculaALoveStory (or is it just #Dracula now?) may not be the smartest kid in the class, in terms of plot — but she sure is awfully pretty.
An irreverent tone and outrageous moments make the whole (dare I say legitimately romantic) ride a good time, as long as you don't think too much.

My poor baby direcat Ghost got a nasty wound on his rump, and now — in addition to a fun new twice-a-day cleaning-and-medication routine I know we're both looking forward to 😅 — he's rocking a permanent popped collar for a month. 😭😬

We do not, as a culture, talk enough about Jon Cryer's performance in #SupermanIV.

#SupermanIV features some of the most dramatic shoulder pads I have ever seen in my life. 😆
(Though, I dunno, I might still rank it above #SupermanIII so far.)

And sadly this is not the Murderbot that we are looking for. 🥲

I was wondering why my cat was huddled up in this random corner of the kitchen for a lot of the past few days... And I just realized that, since he's below a fridge, he's getting drafts of cold air there (especially when I open the door). 😭
This heat wave has been intense for my fluffy boi.

#PatriceTheMovie is probably the mostly creatively delightful film I've ever seen about the hidden costs of living with disability – one of the most creatively delightful documentaries I've ever seen overall.
I wish we all had a Patrice in our lives.

Nw #TheUglySister, and this is totally my cup of tea:
An alternative Cinderella retelling from the step-sister's point of view — it's a bit Poor Things meets The Substance. 😁🩸💄

My top WoT characters were Moiraine and Egwene (yup), but further down the list.
