Using Memes, Humor, And My Obsessions To Comfort Myself After A Really Sucky Day. Might Add More Later

So yeah, I thought it would be a good idea to start Succession after it had ended and I just got through season 1. I have a few questions and a few observations.

Questions:

How much did that brain hemorrhage really affect Logan's personality? At the beginning of episode one we get to see how he interacts with people, but it wasn't enough time for me to get a good enough read on his personality before the brain bleed. I get that he's always been ruthless, but how much of that was turned up to 11? Through snippets of shared childhood memories, it seems that he's always kinda been this way. But has he?

What is up with Tom? He seems to really love Shiv, but when he's interacting with any other member of the family it seems like more than him just wanting to be accepted. It seems like he's trying to worm his way into the family and, by extention, the company. I get the aggression/relationship with Greg. He found someone in the family lower on the pecking order than he is. But is he a good guy? He wanted to release those documents to the public, but was that his good person conscious or was it just him thinking about what would be good for the company?

Lastly, what's going on with Roman's character? For the most part he's a very weasely person, going with the flow to see what can benefit him at any given time. But what's that about him being sent to military school as a child because he was the weakest of the siblings? Him asking that girl to marry him and her calling him out asking if he thinks that's how he can get people to stay? Him cowering behind stuff when his fathers mad, resulting in him backing out on Kendall? I don't know if I particularly like him, but he's definitely intriguing.

Maybe I'm just not very media literate, but I know complex characters when I see one and omg. I guess give me a Preschool show because my emotions can't handle it.

And as for observations, the only thing I have to say is that the acting is amazing, especially with Jeremy Strong and Kieran Culkin. Like I said, the way they sometimes cower when Logan's being extra dominant is soooo good.

Wish me luck going in to season 2!

Lurking Fear (1994) has got some of the most untapped potential that I've ever seen in a B-rated horror movie. Like, there are so many aspects of it that could have been really cool, but the only real thing it delivered was an awesome Jeffery Combs performance (as if there's any other kind).

The designs for the monsters are actually pretty cool as long as they aren't lingered on for too long. For the majority of the movie, their pretty spooky because they're only seen briefly as they attack before they disappear. We only see the maimed townsfolk and the aftermath. But then that one started talking and I kid you not, I almost dropped to the floor I was laughing so hard.The delivery of "You called me Satan >:(" in that stupid deep evil voice was too much for me man.

Almost everything else sucked.

I had the weirdest dream last night, so I thought I'd share it here before it's completely gone from my mind.

It was set in Ankh-Morpork and there were two people from the future. One was a dude who was a private detective, and one was a woman who was the patrician. The city had moved out of the Victorian Era style and now everyone was dressed like it was the 1920's.

So, these two people travel back in time and they're like "cool, we can meet the people who made this city great". So they meet Sam Vimes and he follows them around since they are acting strange.

They make it to the Patrician's palace, and the woman is in awe about every little thing. Birdbaths, benches, everything.

She makes it to the Oblong Office, and a woman opens the door. The time traveler asks if she can meet Lord Vetinari, and then everything loses sound as this other woman (who I guess is a nurse?) mouths that Vetinari has just died. The future patrician walks away in slow motion as cameras click like it's an emotional scene in a movie. She's wide eyed and in shock.

And then it ends with dude doing a Benjamin Button and aging backwards until he dies for some reason. Kind of weird considering I haven't watched that movie since I was in 9th grade but whatever.

My man's never going to win, is he?

THE SHADOW BRACKET COUP CONTINUES

Everyday I wake up and think about Stargirl’s Shade and Dr. Mid-Nite.

I think Shade chose to “die” in this moment because staying was going to cause too many big scary emotions and he avoids those. If he stayed he might’ve confessed his love while sobbing and apologizing. So there. Have that thought for in the morning.

The utter shock and horror I felt (affectionate)

Just a little guy

Edit:

So he was in fact the murderer. Just as a heads up.

Man, I hope Taylor Mac doesn't turn out to be problematic or anything because I've watched Taylor Mac's 24-Decade History of Popular Music documentary on Max 5 times now and it is definitely one of my new favorite comfort shows.

Mac's performance, the accompanying musicians, and the costumes are all so amazing.

4/6 of the way through Good Omens 2. I'm avoiding spoilers, but in the safe places I look nobodies talking about the C.M.O.T Dibbler reference in episode 3 on the Laudanum bottle.

I hope these last two episodes are good, 'cause I am loving this season. Everything about it is so perfect.

(I saw a few other Pratchett stuff, but once I've watched the whole thing I'll go back with a fine-toothed comb)

I can already tell this guys going to piss me the fuck off.
