Saturday Poetry Corner 45: A Broken Appointment

 

Today, a short poem by one of my most favorite novelists - Thomas Hardy.

Drama Stage 2020: Everyone is There

 

 Up until the last 5 minutes it seemed like a story about school bullying with a sad conclusion that actually the victim has to yield and move the school, but no consequences meet the one who initiated it. Around the middle it turned into the revenge story, however the ending just threw a curve ball no one could have predicted.

Into The Wild Colombia: The Hummingbird's Quest 3/5 (2018)

 

 In this episodes we had three Moms raising the next generation, but not always with success.

TV Series Opening 49: Hotel Del Luna

 

It's on my list, I'm getting there, don't haunt me.

Oh wait...

Into The Wild Colombia: A Capuchin's Tale 2/5 (2018)

 

 

In this episode we follow a young capuchin monkey, Blanco, as he starts his life at 6 months old. I kind of don't like monkeys so the pics are what they are. 

I do like apes though, especially gorillas.

SF8: Manxin

 

I really liked this episode. And Lee Donghwi starring it it has absolutely nothing to do with it. I am a professional.

Into The Wild Colombia: Romeo and Julieta 1/5 (2018)

With this documentary we are moving to South America, and to be more specific - the Choco rain forest in Colombia Where t rains around 300 days per year). The first episode tells the story of a little golden dart frog, a poisonous little cutie, who is in search of a mate. And she has only 4 days to do it. And the rain forest is dark and full of dangers.

Africa's Hunters Series 1: Survivors of the Plains 6/6 (2015)

 

 In this episode I learned that female hyenas have so high levels of testosterone, they have a false penis.

SF8: The Prayer

 

Finally, a sci-fi show to watch.

 According to Asianwiki:

 8 film directors participated in "SF8," with each person directing a 1 episode TV special. The genre of the specials deals with science fiction, including AI, AR (augmented reality), VR, and robot games.

Which reminds me a bit of Black Mirror series. Now, as I'm one of two people I know who don't sing sky high praises of BM, I hoped it would be sci-fi but with a Korean twist that is giving the characters some emotions and thus - making us care about them.

Saturday Poetry Corner 44: Lamia (Part 1)

 Today -  a long poem by John Keats. Only the first part.
