Fantastic Beasts, When?

Fantastic Beasts, and the entire Harry Potter franchise, for that matter, gives me… November. It has such a both cozy and magical atmosphere. Ideally, to be enjoyed when it can be fully immersed in.

Earlier, when I happened to give in and watch Wonka out of season (remaining posts on it coming this December, though), I was compelled to also watch Fantastic Beasts, one after another, before their season. Nowadays, I regret that impulse.

I believe it is best to wait. It does sound like a ridiculously long time, but it is the time I probably need to be able to be me again and to also do it justice as a once-in-a-lifetime experience. It doesn’t mean you can’t indulge in the Harry Potter universe all year long, starting from now if you haven’t already, but as an Event here, it is now set for that date.

I apologize again for rescheduling. My consistent and guaranteed performance is nowhere to be found this year. However, I am doing all I can to have it for the next one and let it roll once more.

Get and/or be well! A fantastic month awaits! And you’ve got months to suitably prepare!

Wonka's Itinerary

6AM (& beyond) - The world can wait.

(Just indulging in all of it.)

It's Wonka's Day!

Unforgivable that I waited this long for it. But at the same time, maybe today is the day it will have maximum effect on me? I don't know. But it's like going into the (dreamy) ER and, I'm betting, actually making it out alive.

Wonka? Okay, Give It To Me Now

I'm waiting for dawn, hopefully can sleep more until then, and will get ready to indulge in the film the entire day. Gonna treat myself to plenty of sweets, too. Posting about it will come mostly randomly and spontaneously. I'm late to the party, but here I am...

Too Magical, Gotta Save It For Later

It can sound totally fake, but it is true. Sometimes I spend months or even years without seeing a movie, or immersing in some other piece of artwork, because I figure it will be full of so much that I’d cherish that it’s best if I wait until I can take it in with all of its splendor. It might look like disinterest, ‘cause who is even able to delay gratification that much if there isn’t indifference going along with it? But believe it: I can. It’s not so much indifference that keeps me away, but how much I’d detest wasting what could have been an extraordinarily memorable moment to forever keep in my heart on an afternoon when I’m pissed off, restless, and just wishing it’ll all be over asap.

This can be irrational, indeed, and a poor decision, because sometimes it is exactly then that I most need that amount of magic inserted back into my life. But I can’t always help it. And it is part of what drives me to get my life back to a ‘soft era’ and have everything nice and comfy to indulge as my spirit yearns for. Getting there, getting there…

The prime example of this is Wonka.

Are you kidding me?! I still haven’t seen it!! Do you realize how special and significant Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was for me growing up?! I was still such a wonder-filled kid when I first witnessed that world. I don’t think even I realize just how much it truly means to me. I definitely didn’t want to watch Wonka while in a rush. I still don’t. BUT I WANT TO WATCH IT SO BAD. OMG.

Soon. Soon. Not this month. Maybe not even the next. But soon. Might have to break my rule of going with the seasons and instead recreate winter in my bedroom. But this year for sure. I’M SO SORRY, INNER CHILD. YOU’VE BEEN SO DEPRIVED.

Snaps & Thumbnails? Plus More...

As I continue to move more of my fangirlism to this site, a few things have come up.

• Given that, at least when it is a full 'Event' sort of thing, I have an entire post dedicated to trailers and teasers alone, it seems too redundant for me to use trailers on my "feedback" post as well. So I went with taking a few snaps instead (added 3 more). Is that alright? Should I keep going like that?

• I do treasure my old posts, trust me. I'm never deleting them. I'm just still waiting for that year when things are mostly settled and running on their own, so that I can dedicate myself to digging through everything and bringing back all the posts that are still of relevance. I'll probably leave some hidden that I'll later quote or take excerpts from, too. But they're safe, waiting for their time to shine.

• I'm aware that I'm not everybody's cup of tea and I will never be everybody's cup of tea. If that's your thing, then more power to you. Really. But it's not mine. My type of 'Perfect' is not other types of 'Perfect'. I'm still striving for my type of perfect and that's all you can expect from me. In time, with practice. Believe me, I cringe at my own stuff. A LOT. But sometimes that's all I can put out and call it a day. Basically, though, I wish to be able to look back at what I make as though they are portals to a moment, within a time and place, and trigger memories of such. That's my aim and my priority.
• If you see me not posting more often what I love, it's likely not because I didn't get enough likes or whatever, it's that, as I've been saying, I'm too stressed and overwhelmed these days to afford myself that luxury. So don't worry about me in that regard, I know how to be boring and annoying AND own it. (But yeah, still totally love hearing when somebody genuinely enjoys what I do.)

(Also, fixed some typos in my previous posts. WTH? 2027 instead of 2016. How did that even happen? Now I'm scared I'll live out The Martian again in 2027. NO. PLEASE. NO. 😩)

Project Hail Mary's Day Itinerary

  6AM - Personal (related) realization
10AM - A look at the trailers
  2PM - Come with me to the theater
  6PM - My feedback
10PM - It made me recall…

It’s Project Hail Mary’s Day!

The artwork, in this case, is no less than Project Hail Mary (the movie).

It hasn’t left my mind since the moment I realized it was a movie I just HAD to see. But it is this Friday that I’ll go all out about it. Yet, again, just because I post a ton about a thing, it doesn’t mean I’m done with it forever. Project Hail Mary, how could I ever move on from you? (Seriously, just following their media posts gives me life. You should too if you haven’t already!)

An Eventful Day

I did it for the first time for an album. I’m doing it for the second time for a movie. And so on it will be.

I’d been pondering what the best approach is for this kind of field day, when I get to unabashedly fangirl art. Splitting it can be frustrating, but dropping it all at once can be overwhelming. However, I’ve come to the conclusion that, if you’d rather have it all at once, just check for it once I’m done posting all the parts throughout the day.

Also, it’s pretty much gonna be a pattern, so there’s no point in my trying to be too suspenseful. And then again, if you’d rather not have the ‘surprise’ spoiled, just completely avoid looking at the itinerary post that will go along.

So, be ready, if you want to have an eventful day where art reigns supreme!
(To engage with in the same and/or the following days.)
