Hypothesis Partially Confirmed
Spoilers Ahead! If you have seen my review of the book and movie version of Howl’s Moving Castle , you will know that one of my concerns with book adaptations is whether they are using the right medium and whether that particular medium captured the book’s overall theme. At least those were the two things that I thought of when I decided to watch The Love Hypothesis on Prime Video. I loved the book version by Ali Hazelwood, so I was excited to see how the movie version turned out.

I have come to resent Daria
I loved Daria which is a Spin off of Daria from Beavis and Butthead until she stole her best friend Jane Lane’s boyfriend and that left a bad taste in my mouth. Whoever writer thought of this idea is wrong I mean Daria represented the outcast and a brain but somehow she became like her sister Quinn who was stealing boyfriends on a daily basis. I don’t like how Daria betrayed Jane by taking her man Tom but what makes it even worse is that Tom willingly went along with her. No wonder why Beavis and Butthead were coming down hard on her, did they know something that we didn’t? Daria turned out to be a bitch and she stole her best friend Jane’s Boyfriend Tom. They even had a cha cha number for her “Diarrhea Cha Cha Cha”.

I Expected Spy x Family, But Got Something Better
Spoilers ahead! If you had asked me what my favorite summer anime would be at the beginning of the season, I would have said either You and I Are Polar Opposites Season 2 or The Cat and the Dragon. So imagine my surprise when another anime surpassed those to become one of my favorites this year: Victoria of Many Faces. It has a simple yet interesting premise. A woman quits being a spy for her agency in pursuit of a quiet life as a civilian. I kind of thought that it would be similar to the comedy and hijinks of Spy x Family, where Victoria is trying to hide her past at all costs, and hilarity ensues. But the show turned out to be more than that.

My thoughts on Roseanne
The series Roseanne really jumped the shark. After a few seasons of the show that represented nostalgia and the 80’s. John Goodman who starred as the iconic Dan Conner and patriarch of the Conner family saved the show for me. Unfortunately, the series is depressing and soul draining at best and energy draining. I know that the show is about a blue collar and working class family in the Midwest but still with too much of a slice of life can become depressing because the message that that sends is that nothing is going to get better and there is nothing that you can do make things better you can try but you’re screwed.

Fock This
Fock this Enough is enough with meeting the Fockers and we met the parents, enough! I watched these movies because family members watched them but I never laughed once if anything it was cringe and really douchy. Ben Stiller should know better I mean his parents are the legendary comedy duo of Anne Meara and Jerry Stiller. Robert De Niro couldn’t even save this movie franchise I mean damn he committed career suicide along time ago and not even his roles in Mafia classics could save him. Legendary movie icons should have an unspoken rule that specifically says that after they make their iconic films that is if they are lucky enough to land the roles in question and that goes for Dustin Hoffman and Bette Midler who were the hippie parents of Greg Focker. Another thing is we get it their last name is a joke about the f-word still no laughter here but the sound of crickets in the distance.Watching these films if that is what you could call them I would sit and wish I was else where and doing something else other than sitting watching that just to be polite the best part of these movies was when they were over. The way this movie franchise was forced down our throats we have permission to take 2 fingers and regurgitate this out of our system. Another thing I want to address it is cruel when they kill the family pet for no other reason than a laugh, animal cruelty is not needed I mean this is satanic Hollywood where it is some type of sacrifice.

The King of the Hill Reboot
The King of the Hill reboot was great usually when a series is reboot it comes back for a season but with King of the Hill it came back for 2 more and I hope that there will be more to come. The series was created by Mike Judge the brilliant mind and creator of Beavis and Butthead which also saw reboots and that happened with that series I am so glad that it also happened with King of the Hill. Hulu had picked up the series reboot allowing for a little more adult and mature content to be on the series.

some time ago I had seen a brilliant series that I enjoyed immensely and had seen called “The Maravelous Mrs. Maisel" on Amazon premium.
some time ago I had seen a brilliant series that I enjoyed immensely and had seen called “The Maravelous Mrs. Maisel" on Amazon premium. I loved the series! It’s about Midge Maisel who we see as a nice Jewish girl from uptown New York City. She married Joel Maisel who initially had the aspirations of becoming a comedian himself instead of her. So Joel and Midge would go to the Gaslight comic night club so that he could hone his craft. In the beginning Midge had it all a husband who loved her and a family until he said he wanted out of the marriage and so this is what inspired Midge. So she wandered back down to the Gaslight in her night gown and just started ranting about what Joel had done and then this gave way to Midge becoming a comic and also her manager Suzie was there that night and the two had initially met when Joel was there trying to be a comic and so that is how Suzie became her manager.
