Just a quick musing. I watched one of the shows below on a service I still subscribe to “with ads”, and one of the ads was a preview for a movie coming out fairly soon. It’s a horror movie, and based on the preview, I really hope it’s called “Daddy”. But, because the trailer did not have audio description, and the movie voice guy never said the title of the film, I have no idea what to anticipate or not anticipate. And it made me think of how this is the norm, and basically, we’re left to our own devices … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries- 01/10/25

One more show today than last, but before I jump on in, I’d like to point out the uniqueness of one of the titles. You might notice something here that previously did not have audio description. I have started into From, which is an MGM Plus original, and it did not used to have AD, but has added audio description. HOWEVER. Remember, the *ONLY* way to get the MGM Plus audio description for shows like From and Earth Abides, unfortunately, is to do so by having MGM Plus as a Prime Channel Add-On to your existing Prime subscription. And now, … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries- 01/07/25

Well, I went back to work. So, at least at the beginning of each semester, the amount i consume drops precipitously. This should definitely be interesting, to say the least.

Tonight is the night. I’ve seen every film (and probably every TV show), even if I haven’t gotten to my review. So, here are my thoughts, fully informed, on the race. Best Drama: Nominees- The Brutalist, Conclave, A Complete Unknown, Dune Part II, The Nickel Boys, and September 5 Who I Would Vote For: All of these are exceptional films. My favorite film of 2024 never had a chance. The biggest and most notable snub here was Sing Sing, which I would swap for either A Complete Unknown or Dune Part II, just personally. Conclave is one of my favorite … Continue reading Golden Globes 2025- Who Will Win, Who Would I Vote For?
