shadowhiveIt’s time for another post which, as always, is gonna be extremely random and unfocussed
First off the Clown In A Cornfield got listings posted and the Odeon in Birmingham has an earlier showing. Except it’s at the worst possible time. It’s at 12 and the signing is at 1 so there’s no way I can do it. There is a second showing… but it’s not till 8:50 and there’s no way I can stay in Birmingham until then.
However the Walsall cinema (which I pass through on the train back) has a showing at 3:30 which is much better (though annoying cause it costs more). But hopefully I’ll be able to see it.
Also good news is that we’ve got back to the American Horror Story run, yipee! We’re midway through Asylum and watched two very wild eps. Like one had an Angel of death and the next one had a murderous Santa played by Ian McShane which is a wild sentence. Honestly this show is wild because I’ve literally no idea what to expect. I do hope we can watch more, and I would like to watch the other seasons too, but the goal is definitely to finish Asylum before Tuesday. Why Tuesday? Cause a show is coming to shudder called Hell Motel and were so gonna be checking it out.
Unfortunately my eyes went completely achy on Tuesday night which is so annoying. Like it got to the point I couldn’t even look at the pad and was just lying with my eyes closed listening to an audio thing. Ugh. Thankfully it only lasted a night but still, it was annoying.
However earlier that day, and yesterday, I was finally able to sit down and finish reading The Seven Dials Mystery which was pretty good. I’m not gonna say too much about it but ai was amazed towards the end when there’s a love proposal and the guy said ‘I’d be your dog or your slave or anything’ which was a completely unexpected thing for me to read (but honestly that’s so based of Agatha to do she was truly ahead of her time).
And then in the documentary thing about her travels last night I found out she surfed?? Which is a completely wild image but I love that.
(But yeah I’m hoping to start Cards On The Table soon cause I’m so behind on the read Christie list)
Also yesterday the forbidden planet in Birmingham posted on insta the comics for the week and the next The Umbrella Academy is out?? I’d no idea, I thought it wasn’t out until later in the year. But that’s another thing to look for Monday. (And another reminder I still haven’t finished season 3 of the show which is probably bad but then again I’ve also heard season 4 is bad)
And TUA adjacent I saw an insta pic of Mikey with the rest of MCR (just their feet for some reason but) and I just know I’ll go crazy when we have new shots of Ray. I’m sorry in advance. (Also the new Three Cheers cd is out so that’s another thing I’ll be looking for).
My love of Who is slowly coming back after that disaster of the finale, thanks to listening to some audios, but I feel it’ll be a long time before I can watch stuff with this era cause it now feels so tainted which I absolutely hate. Hopefully a new Collection boxset gets announced soon to take the edge off.
(Although as I type this there’s been a notification that there’s an animated Who series in the works for a ‘pre school audience’ which… how does that even work?)
Writing has been so annoying too cause I wanna write and i have images in my head but as soon as I open the writing app I use it’s like my mind is empty. Ugh it’s so annoying.
I think that’s everything I wanted to ramble about but I’m sure, as always, that I’ve missed something.
But ugh the weather is so weird and hanging and it feels like rain and headache weather again. Bleh.

I hope you will enjoy Cards on the Table too. I like that one too quite a lot.
A photo of Mikey and the feet of the rest of MCR sounds quite surreal!

Date: 2025-06-13 08:24 pm (UTC)It is! But yeah I do agree with that. Yeah the heroines are so fun I do enjoy Bundle (and how she drives!) and I also lived her dad too.
I’m looking forward to it! I remember enjoying the episode that was adapted from it so I’m sure I will!
It really is! It’s so strange to know they’re active (and still so odd Foundations never lead to an album too)

(Although I will admit I haven't been exactly upset at some of the social media posts I've seen about that idiot Laurence Fox's reaction - apparently he fancied himself as the next Doctor so won't be happy about being passed over in favour of his more talented and less assholish ex.)

Date: 2025-06-15 11:48 pm (UTC)(And speaking of Seven Dials I just heard there’s an adaption coming soon??)
That’s good, I’ve not watched her in awhile (her appearence was one of the good things about the finale) oh what?? That’s insane why would he think he even stood a chance at that😭

Date: 2025-06-16 08:34 pm (UTC)Fox has probably about as much chance of being cast as the Doctor as my cousin's pet bulldog does (think I'd rather watch the bulldog myself) - apparently he thought that casting him would improve the series? Honestly, whatever anyone thinks of the last episode, casting that fool would have me switching off.

Date: 2025-06-14 03:06 pm (UTC)Which is, I'm looking forward to seeing them all!
I still haven't seen all the last season of TUA. I heard bad things about it and it put me off.

Date: 2025-06-15 11:50 pm (UTC)Yeah I was watching season 3 finally and got sidetracked so.. maybe I will sometime. But yeah all I’ve heard is bad about 4 but I dunno what specially is bad so… it does feel a shame cause season 1 was so great!
