Just finished watching on Disney plus not my usual cup of tea but I kinda liked it kat dennings plays a woman who's basically dumped by her boyfriend and tries to recontect with her friends plus she keeps this cat lady that she can see. OK it can get weird sometimes but I found it to be funny especially kat dennings who was the funny one In 2 broke girls shame there's there's only been series so far

I went in to see Morbius with an open mind and not listening to what everyone was saying with the hope that that the movie would be good.

Sadly I was disappointed, Morbius felt lacklustre and always felt like it was not going anywhere, OK it may be an origins movie, but damn I found it very boring.

Even the credits scenes seemed to be bolted on at the last moment in a hope to bring Morbius into the MCU.

First of all, I'd definitely recommend reading The Accidental Empress, part one of Empress Elisabeth's life. I found it to be the better book of the two, although Sisi: Empress on Her Own is far from bad.

I commend the author in all the research she did as I think she did an astounding job bringing Sisi to life, showing both her strengths and weaknesses. Most everything was brought to life in a way that was easy to visualize. However, in this book I found there to be more telling than showing as far as politics go, which could be a tad boring, plus I felt there were redundancies here and there. I didn't notice any major anachronism other than one phrase that jolted me out of the book that I dearly hope is not in the final edition (<a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_time_no_see"; targeet="_blank">"Long time no see."</a> if interested). The author provides a thorough section where she notes what was taken from history, leaving me to conclude what must be fiction. I found the fictional parts to be either likely or at least not implausible, excepting a couple incidents in Rudolf's (Sisi's son) youth that felt odd. I won't even touch on Sisi as a person, she's too complex and confounding to decribe in few words, but I felt that Pataki did the best she could at humanizing her while remaining true to her historical record.

Sisi (and the aforementioned The Accidental Empress) are a worthwhile addition to the genre that show a royal family not much touched upon in historical ficiton.
