I'm reasonably certain that 80% of people reading this were innit for the fandom and, well, I'm not doing fandom or shows or movies so much lately.
I have not even looked at the trailer for Cats. And given how everyone's responding, I don't think I will. I loved the poems, I loved the musical, but...that was a long time ago.
Sarah Bessey (author of Jesus Feminist) sent out her Field Notes (kind of a newsletter) and I read it on my phone in bed on Sunday morning. And then watched the trailer for Mulan at her "it doesn't seem to suck...yet" advocation. I am...cautiously optimistic. (They didn't make Shang white did they? Please tell me they didn't make Shang white!)
In spite of never having watched Veronica Mars I find myself kind of wanting to watch the new season. Do I have to have backwatched to get what's going on, do you think? (Wait, is it even available on the subscription platforms I have? Answer: nope. So moot point.)
So far, the bits and pieces I've seen at SDCC have piqued my interest in:
Okay, so I would have been interested in Stumptown anyway. Just from the trailers, it looks very much like it was written for my personal id - from the main character down to the fact that the main character is played by Cobie Smulders.
Haven't heard anything about hawkeye, just the graphic that people have put up from SDCC. Not sure if it's going to be about Clint or about his daughter Lila, although I'm wishing they'd go with an Asian twenty-something hard-living, hard partying, give-no-fucks Kate Bishop, and have Lila growing up/becoming in the process.
But overall, the media/fannish detail is going to be few and far between from me.
Today I am wearing my Captain Marvel jacket over a black shirt, grey trousers, and under a black woolen coat.
ps. Cobie's dress-with-cape that's presently in her instagram story, where she's walking down a hotel hall at SDCC with it floating out behind her? *sigh*
