What a beautiful, wonderful thing color harmony is…

What shows/movies are you watching?

After watching a music video of Arvo Pärt’s Salve Regina set to clips from the 1994 Hungarian movie called Sátántangó, I decided that dragging my husband through the seven hour experience would be a great idea, although daunting. I made it through Gone with the Wind, so what was another couple hours?

Unfortunately, neither of us have the time to sit through an entire screening and are watching it in increments as time allows. So, we watxchwd it in increments.

The movie is phenomenal. I am an avid foreign film watcher. My husband is not. We were both thoroughly engrossed in the movie.

Critiques have dubbed the movie “The Mount Everest for cinephiles” and a “microscopic view of the human condition.” I am not a movie-buff by any means, but I can’t help to full heartedly agree that the directing captures a war-torn Hungary marvelously

It’s slow paced. It’s purposefully shot in black-and-white. Every shot is beautiful and natural and perfectly imperfect. The method acting is grotesquely interesting. And, the suspense is enchanting.

I really want to read the novel, now.

@johnwilliams1, I love To Kill a Mockingbird. Atticus Finch is one of my favorite literary characters.

Rowan studied Barrock. His silver-blue eyes narrowed. His posture was more erect and formal, now but with folded arms. “More than you are expecting. I can assure you.” The Light Elf closed his eyes and drew in a calm, calculated breath. When he opened his eyes, a cunning smirk had marked his mouth, and his eyes were more tested. “You will gain freedom from the Dark Elves alongside a high honor for your established efforts.” His eyes were glittering in the daylight, now.

“We would be honored to have you join us,” Aurora added. Her voice was light, trying to carry the same air of confidence that her brother was holding. Her milky eyes cast downward. “I believe it is a good sign that we have crossed paths.” She wanted to show the same confidence as her brother.

They were both prone to worry, but Rowan understood how to turn his worry into determination. Aurora, on the other hand, could feel her worry draining her powers of insight, at times. It was no wonder that they made her brother the leader. The best she could do was hope neither Zora nor Barrock could feel her sense of unease. And with that, she turned to Zora and offered her a pleasant smile. She could never be more thankful for Zora's strength in character.

What shows/movies are you watching?

We finished the One Piece live action.

My overall review:

I must now convince my husband to dress as Sanji for Halloween. ‘Nuff said.

P.S. — As already stated, bring on Season Two!

What shows/movies are you watching?

The One Piece live action series was good. Not 'good for an adaptation' just straight up good. Unless you're a stickler for 1:1 replication then you'll probably be mad within the first five minutes.

Bring on a season 2.

I just got finished watching the first episode of the Live Action One Piece with my son. I can’t say much about how good it is as an adaptation, since I haven’t watched the anime or read the manga (yet, anyways). However, we both thoroughly enjoyed the show, and personally, I am glad a show like this exists. I can’t wait to watch the rest. Hopefully, the entire season is just as wacky, subtle, and fun as the first episode. 🤞🏻
