I saw that Sonic the Hedgehog movie. A good friend of mine has a nine-year-old son who was SO EXCITED about seeing it, so we did. Not as bad as it might have been, in spite of me definitely NOT being part of the target audience. I'm surprised there was any scenery left for background shots, given how much of it Jim Carrey was chewing. And not in a fun way, to be honest. I wouldn't say he was a weak link in this film, but the 'humor' in his over-the-top mannerisms was often very annoying rather than funny.
The AO3 fic app controversy is winding down. Fanlore has a summary post. Having locked all of my fic there (while lacking some of the information) to 'visible only with a login', I'm debating if I'll keep it that way. Whatever I decide: I do still have multiple links for y'all to create your own account there.
Speaking of fanfic: here's a link to a comment fic I wrote for The Witcher: Yennefer and Ciri, first meeting. (I don't know book or video game canon, so this was just me making something up.)
Currently reading a mystery novel centered around a young black man in Houston, Texas in the 1980s. Lots of flashbacks to 1970s violence directed at black empowerment groups, and a current-day crime that he's investigating, but it's almost certainly going to bring trouble back into his life... Black Water Rising by Attica Locke. I may put it on pause for a bit; it's mentally heavy, although the prose is fantastic.
Ooh, I just looked up the author. Ms. Locke used to write for the show Empire--mostly for Cookie Lyon. Huh. The book I'm reading by her was her first novel, published in 2009.
TV: I finished season two of Unforgotten, and I am disgruntled. Not by the season storyline, or any of the acting; nope, what has me currently blue is that they introduced a hint at a romantic pairing and then snatched it away again, and I WOULD HAVE LOVED IT.
Anyway: in spite of my shipper woes, it was a very solid season, continuing in the show's general theme of what happens in the past does NOT just stay there; it haunts us. Content warning: season two delves into cases of child sexual abuse that happened decades earlier. There's not a visual depiction of it, but it does get discussed more than once.
Amazon Prime has three seasons available. It looks like a fourth season should get broadcast sometime this year, although I don't know how long it will take to show up on Prime; it's a British series that eventually gets re-broadcast on PBS here in the US.
