Hello, friends! I have just a few commissions for this week, since I had to wait to receive some DVDs in order to finish off things, so this will be a short post. BUT LET’S DO IT.<\/p>\n
Later this week, I’ll be watching all of\u00c2\u00a0Tipping the Velvet<\/em> and an episode of\u00c2\u00a0Black Mirror<\/em> to complete the remaining commissions I have left. For now, though, we have\u00c2\u00a0Bomb Girls<\/em> and\u00c2\u00a0Samurai Jack<\/em> to talk about!<\/p>\n Bomb Girls – “Jumping Tracks”<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n This is a stylized and SUPER BABE-FUL pilot that I adored, and I will ship Betty and Kate until the day the world ceases to be. That might be alone<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0worth watching my commission because\u00c2\u00a0holy shit these two are meant to be<\/em>. I love that all four of the main characters are women, I adore how so many issues concerning misogyny are brought up, and SO MANY BABES WHO HAVE AGENCY AND ARE WRITTEN BEAUTIFULLY and lord, I need time this weekend to sit and watch the rest of this show. A+, WILL WATCH AGAIN.<\/p>\n Samurai Jack – Episodes 1<\/a>, 2<\/a>, and 3<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n This is one of those shows that I’ve heard\u00c2\u00a0things<\/em> about, but all I could ever remember was that it was good and I should watch it? So I was truly unprepared to experience this trilogy of “The Premiere Movie,” which MUST BE WATCHED ALL AT ONCE. It’s a brilliant way to introduce this world, and the twist at the end of episode\/part one is SO FUCKING AMAZING. oh my god oh my god TIME TRAVELING SAMURAI FIGHTS THIS IS SO INCREDIBLE. I realized at the end of part one that Mako Iwamatsu voiced Aku, and\u00c2\u00a0it’s too much to deal with.\u00c2\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n And then this show immediately goes for the overwhelming and the weird and the surreal and it’s SO WONDERFUL. I love that the future is presented as such an overstimulating disaster for Jack. It’s a difficult choice for the writers to make, because it’s absolutely jarring, but I love it! WHAT A GREAT SHOW.<\/p>\n I’ll have another post later this week once I finish my last four commissions. Huzzah!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hello, friends!
