just one thing. okay, just two things.

So I have succeeded at changing the email address on my livejournal account, which means I'm actually reading the notifications of comments there at least twice a week. Yay, me?

I saw Black Panther and it was awesome. Non-spoilery thoughts:

- this was the movie that Last Jedi should have been (I have a whole list about that, but it has spoilers).
- Winston Duke was fantastic as M'Baku, and a smidge of my bitterness about how Person of Interest treated the character he played there has disappeared.
- Did you know that they 3-D printed at least one of Nakia's dresses as well as parts of the Dora Milaje's costumes? Cool, yeah?

- I could watch Danai Gurira in choreographed fight scenes all day long.
- Nakia is just so gloriously effective at her job; it's awesome.
- T'Challa! Erik! Shuri! Everybody!

I'd write more but I'm hungry. It's time to find something for dinner.

and two more things (media log)

I'd forgotten to mention: I have Amazon Prime now, so I've slowly started picking through movies and shows free on prime.

Arrival (2016) has the stellar Amy Adams as a lead. It's a lovely unfolding of story that I really enjoyed; "hard sci-fi" always does its best when it reveals things about humanity.

What We Do in the Shadows (2014) is New Zealand's offering in the mockumentary genre, with vampire house buddies and their adventures in modern life. Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement wrote, starred and directed the film. It was a slight but fun watch, as mockumentaries often are.
