Being a Nolan fan, I caught Tenet yesterday. God, I can’t even remember which was the last movie I watched in cinemas before Covid happened.
My favorite part was actually the use of music, LOL. Then the bromance. I thought Robert Pattinson did great here, surprisingly. Coz my brother showed me the Batman trailer & it looked awful to me. I was like “how can a sparkling vampire be the batman?!” *sorry not sorry*
Back to Tenet. Nolan loves to play with time. Inversion this time. ⬇️
Pattinson was fine but I kept asking myself why didn’t he cast Cillian Murphy , except for Michael Caine I don’t think he used any of his regular actors.
While I understood the overall plot I don’t think Nolan explained the concept very well, I’ll wait for it to go to streaming to watch it again so I can pause and look things up as I watch.
Oh, is THAT what it is?? I’ve seen and heard him talk about working with Shen Yue for quite some time now, and didn’t know what it was for…. But now I know
It’s a teen drama & this particular season “is principally a coming out story that deals with issues of love, sexual identity, authenticity, mental illness, religion and friendship.”
[BL novels related (again)]
A groundbreaking record has emerged. There’s a handful of them which I reread after I completed them, but it’s my third read on this particular one, just within the month. WOAH. I ask myself if it’s really that good, coz I didn’t even do that for MXTX or Priest or Wuze’s novels. But I just really like it, very much. 😍
It’s Okay to not be Okay was one that I couldn’t marathon as I subconsciously want to extend Kim Soohyun’s screentime (as if it was possible) coz GOSH HE’S SO DARN PRETTY IN THIS!!! 😍😍 I didn’t even finish YFAS years back, lol. I wanna see him in more comedies in future, but he cries so beautifully at the same time…
This was still a pretty heavy show. I want to see him a rom-com. That, or in some kind of crime/police procedural show with a romantic subplot. (Sci-fi with a romantic subplot could also be pretty good, although I feel like sci-fi k-dramas are pretty hit-or-miss.)
As a side note, am I the only person who thought he looked a bit different in this show vs how he looked before enlistment? I can’t exactly put my finger on it, but there’s something different about his face (especially his jaw). Not suggesting plastic surgery or anything (among other things, he seems thinner in this show than he was pre-enlistment), but there is something different I feel.
that was after Ariel got married, and still chemistry is undeniable.. there was a 3rd actor too.. such an obvious 3rd wheel.. and their character are complete opposite of ISWAK..
I love their long-standing friendship 🥰🥰🥰 They met when they were just 18 (she) and 19 (him) when they filmed ISWAK & TKA, and it’s so great to see that, not only have they become great colleagues, but truly close friends, especially when it’s so hard to come by when you’re in the show biz
It aired from September ‘05 to February ‘06, they were both 23 when the drama went on air, but in an In-depth interview (Which has since been taken down, of course 😕), Ariel Lin had said it herself that they were only about 18/19 when they filmed ISWAK, but were a little older when they filmed TKA
Always thought the exes in On the Way to the Airport were bad enough, until I saw Will You Have Dinner With Me. I would say it’s a different level of hell.
OTP was lovely, but the thing I will miss most is Keanu Ahjussi’s laughter.
I watched the first two episodes only, with thoughts of getting back to it later. But based on everyone’s comments, I don’t think that’s going to happen. In those first two episodes Tae-wan looked like the most interesting character of the whole show.
Mystic Pop-up Bar was so much fun! The field day with one-legged chicken fight being the final challenge, the ringtones of Queen Yeomra & Chief Yeom, that accidental text message from Queen Yeomra to big boss Jade Emperor, & the most EPIC chicken conversation ever. 🐔🐔🐔 HAHAHAHA! Can’t forget about the little Sky Castle parody too!
WOAH. I just found out that my favorite Taiwanese director is the executive producer & screenwriter of an upcoming BL movie, Your Name Engraved Herein. My expectations sky-rocketed instantly at this piece of news, even before I watch the trailer.
I’m talking about Qu You Ning, Winnie. He directed my favorite The Rose, the well-known In Time with You & It Started with a Kiss. (I also just realized that he’s one of the directors for the Chinese drama, Go Go Squid. *failed fan*)
BORN AGAIN was a reluctant pass but I am a fan of Jang Ki-yong. Definitely he needs a loving father like Park Seo-joon had in ITAEWON CLASS. In 3 of the dramas I have seen JKY in he has struck out in the dad department: KILL IT, COME AND HUG ME, and GO BACK COUPLE.
I can’t believe I only managed to catch Call Me by Your Name now.
Couldn’t say I have no complaints, but I forgive everything just for Professor Dad’s monologue. Furthermore, the actor delivered it OH SO DARN beautifully.
Beanies who had watched this movie before, how did you find it?
P.S. Just wanna say I’m fucking spoilt by my BL novels for all the happy endings I get.
Now that I finished it, I think I know why I almost dropped When the Weather is Fine.
I reached exactly at the halfway mark, but I just couldn’t bring myself to continue, until like one month later coz I really don’t like to drop shows, lol.
I don’t like the OTP. Their relationship feels so unbalanced. Like IMBA unbalanced.
But I was REALLY into Shim Myungyeo’s story. Jangwoo was so funny too. & that’s how I got to the end.
