Fallout season 2 premiere

0 Comments

I probably should have rewatched season 1 before jumping into this because I forgot some finer points of the story. I still loved it though! I love Lucy so much, she’s literally me, and I REALLY loved seeing Novac, which was my favourite location in New Vegas. And with bonus “Big Iron” as well!


(Wait they changed the position of the dino! WHY? That’s how you shoot that treacherous witch Jeannie during One For My Baby!)

It’s just been so fun for me seeing these things in live-action. When we saw the Overseer’s office in Vault 32 I remember thinking, I’ve made those offices piece by piece in Fallout 4 and installed my own overseers! I just love knowing that it all exists in real life I guess

Hannukah

On the first day of Hannukah, 15 people including a child and a Holocaust survivor were killed for being Jewish. A Muslim man intervened to save lives which is good but the situation is still horrible, horrible, horrible.

On the second day of Hannukah Jewish-American film director Rob Reiner and his wife Michele were murdered by their own son. More horror. “President” Trump reacted to this with a post so obnoxious, crude, nasty and egocentric it boggles the mind. Nothing will happen, and he will face no consequences.

I had a busy weekend. I gave most of my old Barbie dolls to a child of my acquaintance (kept Mermaid Barbie), saw The Muppet Christmas Carol in a historic building, put the Christmas Tree up. When I was a kid my family used to celebrate Christmas over several consecutive days, which I think was a leftover from the Hannukahs my mum used to have. But who knows?

Wake Up Dead Man spoilers

Wake Up Dead Man is a very good movie. I don’t like it as much as Glass Onion (LOVE that film, def a top ten for me) but I liked it very much.

There’s one thing that’s been at the back of my brain since I saw it. At one point Blanc refers to Wicks as being buried ‘in the tomb of his father’. I don’t have the movie to hand but I’m sure that’s what he says. And that’s not true, his father was some random drifter, he was buried in the tomb of his GRANDFATHER.

Unless… UNLESS…

Obviously the implication here is horrific but I’m not the only one thinking it, right? This movie is too smart to let a mistake like that into the final cut. I think it’s trying to tell us a terrible truth about Grace and why she was shunned.

flightlessfinch:

imo people calling the creature Adam instead of acknowledging the scene where the creature is born and his first word when he sees his maker’s face is: “Victor?” and then he touches his own chest and says, “Victor?” again and his maker says, “Yes! Of course you are, of course you are!” with real excitement (and their shared first and fleeting taste of love for each other, when neither of them were monsters yet) are missing pieces of the intention of the story and the significance of them sharing a first name as well as a last name.

the constant question of “Frankenstein, or Frankenstein’s monster?” turns into “Victor Frankenstein, or Victor Frankenstein?” (giving the creature back his humanity in a sense but also cursing him with the sins and patterns of his father the way anyone can be cursed with their father’s blood, and at the final moment of his maker’s life he says his maker’s name with love again, and if his name is also Victor by extension he is giving love back to himself through his forgiveness for his maker and erasing what would have been a curse to replace it with self-acceptance and something warmer, like the sunlight) Basically, what I’m saying is, we should call him Junior,
