What Have You Been Watchin?

i wasn’t wrong about this particular observation but even though I almost gave up the show in the middle, it really came through in the final three episodes… THEY WERE COOKING WITH THIS ONE!

Watched an episode of SNL since my brother put it on. I say this as a guy whose drug of choice for most of my late teens and early adult life was just not going to bed: any given SNL skit has the distinct tenor of having been plotted out by someone who’s massively sleep-deprived. And knowing what I know about how episodes of that show are scheduled, I believe it 100%.

Moments I appreciated: realizing that I will not be able to pick Tim Kaine and Tim Walz out of a lineup because they look like the same guy, Keenan (as ever) stealing the show as Little Richard guest-starring on a fake 90s sitcom, Ego Nwodim working hard not to break as what was supposed to be possum milk squirted out of her costume, and Maya Rudolph as a deeply-animated Reba McEntire.

Everything else I just sorta looked at confused and wondering what the joke was. Probably some of this is funnier if you actually live in new york?

I watched all of the Planet of the Apes prequel/reboot movies this weekend. I enjoyed them, more than I expected. Very watchable movies though I found myself skipping through parts of the 3rd.

I bought Jane Goodall’s My life with chimpanzees afterwards.

Two episodes in: Dandadan rules.

I have come to the sad realization that I simply do not enjoy watching Desert Bus for Hope live, I find it swings too wildly from sub-par background noise material to legitimately attention worthy and back, and the non-stop livestream format means I rarely feel like I have a natural stopping point, which often becomes a huge problem because it triggers the same “But I don’t wanna leave it unfinished” feelings that I have with youtube videos I like that are under an hour long (And even a lot that aren’t). I did still donate already though, and I’m actually working on a Ryu Number quiz in the back of my mind that I hope to send in… assuming work leaves me enough energy left over to finish it (I wanna give it a bit of flavor, and maybe include images of the characters, and find a 5 that sounds good, and at least one unexpected 1). Worst case scenario I save it for next year I guess

Friend and I really needed a distraction from Everything That’s Going On so I showed them Evangelion for the first time.

I was ready to hate it on rewatch, but that wasn’t the case. The bad parts were as bad as I remember, but the good parts really hit for me this time. It’s a fascinating work of art. Not the sort of thing you want to feel seen by, and yet…

I’m the rare Eva fan who loves the original AND Rebuild and I feel you. I first watched it when I was like 11 (oops) and hated it but over time I realised I hated it because I hated me and I saw myself in it :S now it’s like one of my bestest bests

Has anybody here been watching Arcane? I am vaguely considering watching it on the hopes that it is good, but am not wholly convinced.

On the one hand I see a whole lot of people hollering about it online.

On the other hand it is league of legends

i watched about half of the first season and it wasn’t bad but like you say, it is indeed league of legends LOL
