Gilmore Girls - A funny way to end your day

This blog is all about art, about some of my works, some pieces that I make and about my personal opinion about what some other cool people do. So, I decided to expand the blog themes, because art is a terrifically abstract concept where almost everything could fit in.

For me, art is something that betters someone’s day or makes them think, something that could fascinates them, or maybe even scares them. Art is something about the way in which you see life, the way you relax and the way you work. Summing it up, art is everything that makes you actually feel something.

So, there’s a lot of stuff that could fit in in this description of mine, don’t you think?

I’m truly addicted to TV series. It’s the way I relax at the end of the day and sometimes, when they are really good, they inspire me, and from my point of view they totally fit in this category.

So I decided to talk about some of them, the ones I watched, am currently watching or intent to, and in this way, share with you how I feel about them.

And my first post on this subject is about an old TV Series that I am watching right now, for the very first time: Gilmore Girls. In my country, it was called “Like mother, like daughter” and back in the day, I was curious about it, but never got around to watching it.

Now, I found it at Netflix and I finally decided to. Well, what can I say? I just can’t stop…

It’s funny, relaxing, improves my mood and for someone who just became a mother, especially to a little girl, it’s quite interesting to look at such a special relationship, and imagine how my baby would be as a teenager, and how or who I’ll be, as a mother to a teenager.

The characters are not especially deep, yet, not quite superficial either. You can identify with most of them and imagine yourself in some of these funny situations. And the most importantly, and the main reason I keep watching the show: you laugh.

Rory and Lorelai’s adventures are a good note on which to end my day.

Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes

This is not the sort of show which I usually talk about on this blog. However, as a psychologist, I’m usually quite curious in regards to criminals and their minds; and one of these days I started watching this documentary on Netflix . Taking into consideration the kind of thing this is, I can’t say I ‘liked’ it. I mean what you see in there is nothing to like, but I was rather terrified, which is probably the usual response. Nonetheless, it was definitely a good documentary. The eyes of a killer Everything displayed in this story was terrible. The descriptions, Bundy’s posture, everything seemed like some sort of horror show, putting into perspective what we may consider to be lucky or unlucky in this life. Before I even start watching it, I read somewhere that this was the kind of thing you shouldn’t watch alone. Sounds accurate right now. At the time, and considering my, mostly academic, experience, I didn’t think that this could actually be so upsetting.

The Mist (2017) - quick review

A thick mist falls up a town, and something about it isn’t right - good premise. We would expect nothing less than good from a Stephen King’s book. Yet, as we all know, book adaptations can be quite disappointing. It goes from good to terrible. I loved the plot and, in the beginning, I was very curious and interested - it was almost impossible to stop watching it. Yet, at some point, it started to get on my nerves, and not in the way that a good horror show should. As we got closer to the end of the season, many things stopped making sense. Some characters are simply… not believable. The explanations for whatever was happening were ridiculous and easily refutable. It all took away the feeling of “this could be real”. It killed my interest. Many changes were made to the original novel. Some of them were interesting and made the story better, yet others were… well, nonsense. Cast and production As I said before, the first episodes were good and made us want to keep watching, but I was

Show Review: Emily in Paris

It took me a long time to give Emily in Paris a shot because I thought it would be a silly, shallow comedy about some sort of influencer. Well, it is a silly, shallow comedy about some sort of influencer, but to be honest, I liked it. Emily is a young talent in a marketing career and has the opportunity of her life: working in Paris for a year! And since her boyfriend is an idiot, she can try the full experience of being a single woman in the city of love. Unfortunately, she is not as good at managing her personal life as she is at work. In fact, she is frankly terrible at making decisions outside work. Cultural Differences Everyone who has been in a foreign country knows that sometimes we get ourselves into awkward situations due to cultural differences. So watching someone else go through the same is quite funny. I must admit that seeing an American trying to speak French is hilarious. Of course, I’m not French (and French people who hear me trying to speak French could have a s
