Things that brought me joy, part 2
WandaVision, which is both a charming love letter to sitcoms of yore like I Love Lucy or I Dream of Jeannie and also a serious mindfuck – although it looks like questions are being answered from episode 4. It is early days… and I’ve gone off every other Marvel TV show after a season, but…

Things that brought me joy

Aroha
Et gi selte Momenter an der Politik, déi d’Prädikat “wonnerschéin” verdéngen. Am neuseelännesche Parlament koum et dës Woch zu esou engem Moment, nodeems d’Regierung als dräizéngt Land op der Welt d’Bestiednis fir homosexuell Koppelen erlaabt huet. Ech hunn de Clip mëttlerweil schon x-mol gekuckt, an ech kréien ëmmer nees Gänsehaut, ewéi wonnerbar d’Mënschheet dach ka…

Oblivion
Et ass, no deem ganzen Vampir Krom, endlech nees um Tour vun Science-Fiction fir Mainstream Filmer z’iwwerhuelen. Deen Trend war, ewéi de Vampirgenre virdrunner och schon, natierlech schon zanter engem Jorzéngt ofzegesinn, an Oblivion ass den Éischten vun enger Well Filmer, déi an noer Zukunft op eis duerkommen wäerten. Elyisum mam Matt Damon an Jodie…

Schwaarz Loft
Wéi ech op 2e am roude Lycée war, hat d’Mme Werner, déi zu deem Zäitpunkt nach Directrice war, eng Kéier vum Portier sämtlech Plakater an Zeitungsartikele bei eis am Klassesall vun der Mauer rappe gelooss (an net mol propper). Mir woussten ufanks net, dass deen Uerder aus der Direktioun koum, an hunn eis iwwert gesiichtslos…
