#mish rambles

like literally a two weeks ago we were all thirsting after these men and having fun and now everyone has switched up and is moving weird with the parasocialness and over analysing everything about them and i really don’t like the vibes at all.

sure i’m still gonna have fun and interact with the grown folk who actually have common sense and decency but for those folk who are doing the most. yeah it’s a no from me.

do we all remember the a series of unfortunate events movie? it was dreadful, wasn’t it? thankfully, the netflix tv show adaption is absolutely perfect and they did everything right.

let’s start with casting accuracy. first, age ranges. its a common trend for movies and shows nowadays to cast actors that are far older than their characters. like.. 27 year olds playing high schoolers? what’s up with that? asoue made me very happy by casting age appropriate actors. 13 year old melina weissman as 14 year old violet baudelaire! louis hynes is 15, but he certainly looks young enough to pass for the 12 year old klaus, and his acting is great. it’s not very easy to mess up sunny because she’s… she’s just a baby? the three siblings all fit their book description as well.

casting choices! neil patrick harris was an interesting choice for count olaf, but he pulls the role off surprisingly well, with a good mix of absurdity and comical wickedness. patrick warburton is stunning as lemony snicket. his quirky lines and deadpan delivery makes for a memorable character. the amount of poc casted was a surprising welcome, too. k todd freeman as mr. poe was so good, and aasif mandvi’s uncle monty was just perfect. afre woodard played aunt josephine with just the right amount of crazy-cat-lady. the cast was just so talented!!
