Happy Easter or whatever.
Another Icewind Dale Ranger for this week's DnD Character Colouring Book. The fairy ranger Thorn Ravenwood. And, of course, a Fey Wanderer Ranger. And much improved over the previous version.
Anyway...
Lasagne Soup again this week. A little more liquidy this time, but still great. It's never not good honestly.
Mini Media Reviews for this week include finishing off Season 2 of Alex Rider. It is fascinating to see their version of the Stormbreaker story, since I remember that probably the best, since the movie is also based on the same plot. Still decent though.
I did attempt to watch Assassin's Guild. I literally gave up after about 7 minutes. Because while they had a decent budget they spent none of it on the actors and very little on the script. Also this is one of a collection of movies written, directed and starring the same guy. And that never ends well.
Next up was something I picked up at the library just based on vibes (and the fact that Gillian Anderson was in it), The Crimson Petal and the White. Quite good, a little intense at times... and there were weirdly a few plot threads that seemed like they were going to go somewhere and just never got picked up. But still enjoyable.
Lastly, Tales from the Loop. Based on the artwork by Simon Stålenhag of the same name. Oh my god. So damn good. Like, somewhat depressing, very much a meditation on sadness, very slow, very thoughtful, and some of it (especially episode 2) was very, very hard to watch, but in a good way. There were many times where I thought "oh, the happy ending version of this would be X" and then that ending never happens. And yes, I actively sobbed through the last episode. Very strong recommendation. Keep tissues handy.
Sadly, after trying all the tips and tricks for getting God of War Ragnarok to load on my PS4, I had to admit defeat. I might try again with the only other copy in the library network once it's back on the shelf since that library isn't that far away.
Friday Night DnD was... a late scratching. Like literally Fluffy had walked in my house but hadn't yet sat down late. So we just did a movie night instead. A Very Cary Grant movie night. Bringing Up Baby, which I realised What's Up Doc really stole a lot of their playbook from. And then To Catch A Thief, expanding Fluffy's Hitchcock repertoire.
Anyway...
I say this every year. People just be losing their damn minds in the supermarket on Easter Saturday. Sure, maybe you actually give a shit about Easter Sunday and do something. But the shops have been closed for a single day, why you all crazed?
We did survive though.
And that was it really.
