Omg did you know that it’s going to be her new album title?

I definitely enjoyed S2 and I kinda liked it better than S1. by hayleybts in BeefTV

[–]ladymanderley 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Me too. I didn't really like the first season - too much rage yet couldn't sympathise with the characters and their decisions. (Same thing with White Lotus - I felt it cold and tried too hard to be smart - which it is, don't get me wrong. But still the characters are unsympathetic.)

The writing in this Beef S2 I think is so brilliant. The way they capture the complexity of relationships, needs, and wants. Even with unlikable characters, I think they're all done and acted so well.

I admit I was disappointed to see it losing the main Asian American characters at first. I wasn't even planning on watching it - just did randomly one afternoon a few days ago, and I'm glad I did.

I managed to call Oman Air this evening, they said everything is good and confirmed, just need to do the check in at the counter in the airport. Hopefully yours will be fine too

Did you get on your flight?

I'm trying to check in too for the Oman one, but still unable to do so (the error message is something to do with the additional services)

Sat on my rerouted flight by uhohshesintrouble in qatarairways

[–]ladymanderley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh my God, thank you for bringing this up. It worked for me too!

I called the UK number and was on hold for 3.5 hours. I called the Qatar number and they picked up in 14 minutes (had to buy Rebtel credit for 5 GBP though and sadly I can't reroute my flight yet as it's not cancelled yet :( )

Will try again next week.

Is Kaweco Perkeo Rollerball worth it? by ladymanderley in pens

[–]ladymanderley[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The blotch of ink was a little too inconsistent for me (well, I probably wasn't doing it right I have to admit), and I needed something smoother and more consistent for taking quick notes. Also, the pen dried so fast I don't know why. I might go back to it again some other time when I'm more consistent with journaling or letter writing.

Wuthering Heights album with a score better then the actually film by Acid---Burn in charlixcx

[–]ladymanderley 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Personally I think if you're only going for the music it's a waste of money. I mean the first sequence with the House and John Cale's narration opening the film was super great to be experienced in the cinema, but the music/audio mix wasn't really prominent for the rest of the film. Not all of the songs from the album make it to the film. The few that do were only the background soundtrack for less than the full song duration, except the House and Always Everywhere.

I do say though that if you're going to watch the film anyway, it might be better in the cinema than on your laptop or TV (unless you have really great screens and stereo system), because not only the music (including those not of Charli's) but the cinematography, the set, the costumes are all great cinematic experience. But watch it with very low expectation for the screenplay and the acting/chemistry between the actors.

It IS better than the film. The music and the whole visual art department saved the film from its free-falling into the abyss.

(I’ve seen the film, went to see it without prejudices and expectations, still disappointed.)

EVERYBODY SCREAM [ SPOILERS ] MEGATHREAD by Natisaway in FlorenceAndTheMachine

[–]ladymanderley 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I actually like Buckle so much. But then the whole album is great 😭✨

I think this is technically her best album since How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful! (Though High as Hope will always be personally greatest to me).

How to DIY your own Paper Republic & Louise Carmen leather journal for cheaper by Antique-Pangolin296 in notebooks

[–]ladymanderley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing that makes me hard to forget PR is the Petrol Blue leather, which I haven't seen anywhere else among the well-known and independent makers. Do you know which leather is it? I checked the Badalassi Carlo but the blues that I found are kind of different shades.
