Talkie Tuesday: His Dark Materials

 

"The final rebellion has begun."

 

Hello everyone!

Happy 2023!

It's been a bit since I last posted on here, mostly because even bloggers and vloggers need a break, am I right?

So I took mine and I'm feeling properly energized for another year reviewing things for everyone.

And to start things off, I have a real banger for us.

Now it's been a bit since the first two seasons aired, because thanks to the pandemic things got really shuffled around in production and whatnot, BUT THAT ASIDE, we definitely got the conclusion through December, and WOW.

That's all I can say, WOW.

Well alright, there's some minor details, but other than that ... His Dark Materials return one last time for a final send-off.

Talkie Tuesday: Atomic Blonde

 

"It's a double pleasure to deceive the deceiver."

 

Hello everyone!

 

This week's choice of movie is heavily influenced by the fact that my sister was home for the weekend and ended up watching it on television in my room.

 

Now, usually, I'd just do my own thing on the computer while she was at it, but I got sucked into the story, and then some.

 

I mean, it IS Charlize Theron though.

 

The woman looks too good to be true.

 

I want whatever she's having.

 

And while I'm at it, let me tell you all about the little movie she did back in 2017 (geez, is it almost 5 years ago already?) that, apparently, also has a sequel in development! This is exciting news because the movie is absolutely fantastic.

Convoluted, but fantastic.

It's called Atomic Blonde, and BOY, is it atomic!

"Once you understand something, you can master it."

 

Hello everyone!

 

Happy New Year!

 

Hopefully this will be a much better one than the one we've just gone through, and in the vein of that hope I am kick-starting all the blog posts on here with something really great.

 

There's a bunch of things to watch if you need something to distract yourself during lockdowns and quarantine, mind, but I suppose there are a few stand-outs even so, despite the fact that it's numerous all around.

 

But when BBC teams up with HBO, you really need to pay attention.

 

Philip Pullman's trilogy already sparked controversy back in the day when it was first published and it's getting right back on track with that now with the television adaptation, but I mean, did we expect anything else at all? In this day and age?

 

Nope.

 

So sit back and relax as we take a look at the second season of His Dark Materials.

 

Talkie Tuesday.: His Dark Materials

"The fate of more than this world depends on her."

Hello everyone!

Welcome back to another recap Tuesday as opposed to a general review. I have a few on the backburner still waiting to get their chance to shine, and honestly I should have done this one a couple of months ago after the show first premiered, but life and other creative decisions on the blog interrupted.

If you've ever heard of Philip Pullman, you've probably heard of the movie The Golden Compass, too.

And if you've heard of THAT, then you know there's a show to follow afterwards as well.

BBC and HBO partnered up to bring us another adaptation of Pullman's book trilogy, which tells the story of an alternate world, or well WORLDS, and how there's going to be a second coming of the Original Sin, which a lot of people are trying to prevent.

Of course, one should note that the author himself is anti-political and anti-religion, so you can definitely see influences of that throughout his work.

His Dark Materials, however, remain absolutely amazing.
