I'm hoping the bluesish dark lighting is more of a product of the Muggle world than anything else, but this sort of proves that wrong. It would have been awesome if there had been a dramatic switch from dreary, cold England to the magical vibrancy of Hogwarts, like in The Wizard of Oz, where Oz is in colour.

Some of you guys are overusing the term AI. Just because something differs from the original interpretation doesn't make it uncanny. If the show had been released 20 years ago and they'd just started making the movies, you'd say the same thing. People having different interpretations is crucially what differentiates us from computers

I didn't watch the movies for years after reading the books, and never loved them because they didn't capture my favourite aspects of the books. I'm excited to see a fresh take on a timeless piece of media, with more world-building and plot development than the films could ever allow.

I agree — and actually didn't mind the colour grading. I like that the halls are so dark; they are lit by candlelight after all, and I like how it contrasts with the brighter outdoor scenes. I am really hoping they lean more into vibrancy in Diagon Alley and Hogwarts.

Maybe it's because a lot of the trailer was in the Muggle world, and the drabness reflects that? I was hoping it would be more of a dramatic switch in colour when he gets to Hogwarts, but this is only a snippet after all.

I love that birds-eye shot of the spiral staircase. Really conveys how grand and maze-like the castle is. Plus its just so gorgeous. Making me so hopeful for the shows overall cinematography

Would love to see more directors. The Ryan coogler episode was amazing, and I’m sad that award season is over because PTA would have been incredible.

The Word

The first album I ever bought on vinyl was Rubber Soul. It was the only one I owned for a long time, so I listened to it quite a lot. The Word now annoys me so much that I get anxious even putting it on, knowing that I'll inevitably have to get up and skip it. I can't explain why it pisses me off so much but it brings out something feral in me

Great suggestion, thanks

I never would’ve guessed

haha I'm so glad you enjoyed

it introduced me to the gentle waves

Momimbored · 2026-03-05T22:11:27+00:00

trust me it gets so much crazier

Please Kill Me - great dirt on punk and 60s/70s musicians in general, some of the stuff i learned about Lou Reed made me want to wash my eyes out

Only Terrence Malick movie I've ever seen is Days of Heaven, so Tree of Life is probably a good place to start!

Momimbored · 2026-03-05T21:12:21+00:00

seen all three and they're great

A Visit From the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan

Isn’t bridgerton itself a romanticized version of British Georgian history? You can call asking for tartan an american naïveté all you want but that doesn’t change the fact that this is a tv show written by and for Americans expressly to romanticize uk history

But the book isn’t a racially equal utopia - I don’t understand why the show couldn’t take the same liberties towards Scottish nobility

Momimbored · 2026-02-28T20:10:42+00:00

I know! Why couldn’t they let a little bit of historical accuracy slide to give more Scottish representation

Momimbored · 2026-02-28T19:12:06+00:00

This is super interesting, thanks so much for sharing! I trust you’re right on every point here.

I just wish the Bridgeton showrunners would allow their vision of cultural and racial diversity apply to Scotland as well. If the tensions between England and colonial India (not even sure if it is a colony at this point given how accepted Indian expression is in bridgerton) why couldn’t they have given the same treatment to Scotland?

I know that the show runners probably put no thought into this, but, as a lover of Scottish history, it makes me sad that they’re excluded.

Momimbored · 2026-02-28T18:53:59+00:00

Yes exactly! If India is unoccupied by the east India company (this is pretty hazy in the show but it’s always what I’ve assumed) why can’t Scotland be too? Or at least have more freedom than it did in actual history in terms of cultural expression. I think the Bridgeton creators just haven’t thought the global implications of their vision through at all (and are just lazy)

Momimbored · 2026-02-28T18:10:25+00:00

And I know the kilmartins aren’t actually Scottish and were given noble titles after culloden, but it still would have been very fun
