I have watched several things recently. I have thoughts -- well, tbh, more feelings than thoughts -- but I feel like there are things to be said.

Holy smokes, this was good. Someone described it as slice-of-life, and that is usually enough to reel me in. Yalitza Aparicio was amazing as Cleo. This was one of those movies where I started it later in the evening, assured myself I would only watch a bit before bed, and then ended up finishing it all in one night, work the next day be damned. There is some intense subject matter covered in the film, so I would suggest reading the synopsis if required. But it was absolutely gorgeous, and I am going to watch it again.

Wooooooooow. For all the new people to this journal: I do not have a critical bone in my body. I either like something, or I don't and promptly never think about it again. And yeah, I liked this episode, a lot. A lot of great Michael/Tilly moments (yesss!), and Jett Reno was just... ♥.♥ hi hello I love you. (I knew nothing going into this season, so yeah, seeing Tig Notaro was a pleasant surprise). There were a lot of moments to love in this episode. I'm looking forward to next week an awful lot.

I'm so behind on anime. Like, so behind. But this was recommended to me, so again -- this is a common theme in my life, not gonna lie -- I sat down yesterday around dinnertime to watch an episode or two. And then, shortly before midnight, I was completely caught up (only 13 episodes, so...). But aaaaahh. This is the sports anime of my HEART. I love sports anime to begin with, but this one... maybe it's because the characters are college-aged and adults, but I just... love them all? I even remembered their names? Nico-chan senpai was my immediate fav (because I have a type), but seriously, all the characters, great.

In other news, evidently Marvel is getting the rights back to Marvel Gets Rights Back to Raina Telgemeier’s X-Men: Misfits for 2019. This is legit the only universe where my secret-heart-ship of Angel/Longshot makes even a remote amount of sense, so I contemplate it often. The whole book feels very Ouran High School Host Club to me, though I've seen people bring up Fruits Basket as well (which I have not read... yet!). All this to say, I'm very happy because maybe there might be more! Wouldn't that be fun!
