im finally watching The Crown.......... its good
Claire Foy is pretty excellent at hypernasality
its Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous plus a lush, abbreviated take on British history
Is it even a period drama if someone doesnt cough blood into a handkerchief? why dont any married couples share beds? and other questions (s1 e2)
poor princess margaret, watching her dad get embalmed
what! this show is wild. glad they're addressing the Great London Smog thi, i read an excellent book about it ("death in the air" by kate winkler dawson)
gotta say the absurd romanticization of winston churchill re: the fog was very silly. the situation was much more complicated and horrible and churchill never went to a hospital to visit plebes
me, looking at myself in the mirror
everyone in this show rides horses to grieve. also, i know it's a lush celebration of the british monarchy but the mostly-uncritical imperialism is GROSS ... margaret in Rhodesia....
*dramatically rides a horse across a rainy landscape*
Phillip is the *whiniest* pissboy
me after watching 8 episodes of The Crown
theres literally horse porn on this show
the amount of time they say the words "the crown" in s1 of "the crown" is astounding

It took me awhile to push through the last half of season 7 because a) the all-serialization was hit or miss for me and b) much more potently, I WILL MISS THESE CHARACTERS SO MUCH

i finally finished Mary Shelley's FRANKENSTEIN. It is amazingly and also sometimes beautifully melodramatic. Like Goth monster Hamlet. The monster is SO ELOQUENT and I cant get over how that was totally erased in every film!
also Victor Frankenstein gets a horrible fever every time he gets bad news. for like months at a time.
also, SO many beautiful descriptions of lakes! made me really want to visit Geneva someday.
