++ The trailer for Critical Role's 4th campaign was revealed, with the premiere date of October 2nd. That's very soon, much sooner than I had thought. Not that I'm complaining, of course. After my complicated feelings regarding the third campaign, I'm ready for this refreshing switch-up. I've already seen the character art, and listening to Brennan's monologue in the trailer it certainly has piqued my curiosity on what the campaign is going to be about.

++ The newest addition to the V/H/S franchise, V/H/S/Halloween, has also released a trailer and will be premiering October 3rd. I had no idea that there was another one already, but I'm not entirely shocked either. This features two of my favorite things: the V/H/S franchise and Halloween. I'm all in.

The second season of Netflix's Polish show 1670 was a lot of fun! It's a mockumentary about the nobles and the peasants from the village of Adamczycha.

I especially loved the episodes with the holidays in Turkey, the Witcher cameo (he was played by a Polish actor, of course, not by one of the actual actors) and the Harvest Festival.

A major character is sapphic: no f/f for her this season, only m/f.

I have recently watched two versions of Satan's School for Girls, the original 1973 one and the 2000 remake. I initially saw the 2000 version when it aired (because of Shannen Doherty and Julie Benz), however I only caught the tail end of it and never saw the movie in full. It took some time before finding it, and then I watched the 1973 version to compare. Both which were made-for-television movies, both were produced by Aaron Spelling, and both have their own strengths and weaknesses and unique takes on the story being told.

The premise is about a young woman who, after discovering the mysterious death of her sister and not being convinced it was a mere suicide, goes to investigate at her sister's university to discreetly find out the truth of what happened, and as soon as she arrives strange things start happening.

The original 1973 version. )

The 2000 remake. )

My final thoughts, comparing and contrasting the two movies. )

I definitely don't want it to happen considering the current state of media we're in, but I cannot help but wonder what another modern remake of Satan's School for Girls would look like today, just conceptually.

Rebel Blade by Davinia Evans was great. It's the third and final book of The Burnished City, an alchemy story taking place in a Byzantine-inspired world.

The plot now focuses on setting up a democracy and I'm always here for this.

There's m/m (to be honest, I've been excitedly waiting for Siyon and Izmirlian to reunite since Book 1, so it's a disappointment that it only happens in the last two pages) and f/f.
