Summer is finally over!
I mean I’m trying to think on the bright side here in California as temps are still off the charts and movie theaters around me are still closed as well as the many other disasters my state (and life) is currently going through.
At least we still have entertainment and there’s some good stuff coming even without cinemas.
Dear Streaming Services… In association with Top Ten Tuesday I have a list of some book series that would make amazing firework worthy adaptations.
You’ll notice this isn’t 10 and I’ve probably mentioned these before but that’s how deeply I believe they should be adapted.
I knew there was a Princess Diana movie coming but I didn’t know Netflix was doing a musical version of her life which jeez I mean my first thought was just because Hamilton did it doesn’t mean everyone should try.
We got a bunch of new trailers recently including for Charlie Kaufman’s Netflix film I’m Thinking of Ending Things…
The Old Guard (Netflix)
Directed By: Gina Prince-Bythewood
Every time Merrick came on screen I was so distracted wondering why he looked so familiar and not being able to pull his name. Finally I just gave up and Googled it and turns out he was good old Dudley Dursley!
Now we know what he’s been up to!
So Margot Robbie is getting involved with the Pirates franchise which seemed like a good start to a July 4th edition of Looking Forward… (hm I made it editions now which usually calls for consistency so we’ll see how that goes!)
Well we have a while still until Black Widow (hopefully in November) but if you’re looking for some movie merchandise for yourself or a gift Build a Bear has kindly and maybe unexpectedly provided:
Locke & Key
Netflix Series
I went into this one with a bit of worry. I read the first two graphic novels in this series (by Joe Hill & Gabriel Rodriguez) a while back and didn’t love them, didn’t hate them but definitely didn’t keep reading. I remember it being pretty dark and just generally not in the mood for it at the time.
I would say the show is a wildly different tone from what I remember. Not without flaws but still super fun.
When The Witcher dropped on Netflix my biggest question was how were the female characters in the show going to fare…
As I’ve mentioned that other big fantasy adaptation- well I pretty much wound up despising every choice they made for the female characters especially. It’s still too early to really judge The Witcher after only 8 episodes but I think they’re off to an interesting start.
Spoilers! Spoilers! Spoilers!

A Taylor Swift documentary? Of course I’m going to break my film slump for that one! Thank you Netflix 🙂
As a long-term fan of Taylor I got to admit…
