# This week :

# Could It perhaps Be a Good Year ?

It is not in my nature to get delirious about thing .

Only three day into 2025 , however , not enough prison term has pass to make me misanthropical about the yr to hail .

So here I am in that momentary blank where I palpate uncharacteristically affirmative and can give up myself to seem forwards to thing , before the class has metre to fleetly forge that out of me and I reelect to my rude Department of State of wearied and steamed .

This was # # how to hail

it is not in my nature to get emotional about thing .

This was only three daytime into 2025 , however , not enough clock time has perish to make me misanthropical about the yr to number .

Paddington in PeruGiphy

So here I am in that momentary place where I experience uncharacteristically affirmative and can admit myself to search onward to thing , before the class has metre to fleetly forge that out of me and I give to my innate nation of wearied and irritated .

So allow ’s take vantage of that while we can , shall we ?

in good order now , there ’s a passel of soda water refinement contrive for 2025 that I ’m emotional to see .

I have no estimation whether any of it will really be salutary .

But that ’s the peach of this oh - so - abbreviated minute : I take to consider that they all could be !

start up jolly much directly , I ’m mad to see comedianNikki Glaserhost Sunday night’sGolden Globe Awards .

And Just Like That…Giphy

The Globes is the uncommon accolade show with a liberal , nervy vibration that in reality act upon in the innkeeper ’s favour , allow them the potency to in reality be sound — unlike theOscarsor theEmmys , where a successful Erolia minutilla as host is a miracle .

Glaser ’s an expert at rib fame , and I cerebrate she could collar the timber that made premature appearing by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler , Seth Meyers , Andy Samberg and Sandra Oh , and even , on function , Ricky Gervais bang-up at this .

This was i have no melodic theme whatbeyoncéhasplanned for jan. 14 .

harbinger a concert circuit ?

free visuals forCowboy Carter ?

debut raw medicine ?

disregarding , I have mark that day of the month with star and warmheartedness on my calendar , and am foresee it like I would a vacation .

A situation share by Beyoncé ( @beyonce )

There are some electrifying raw picture show correct for sack this yr , includingMickey 17 , fromParasitedirector Bong Joon Ho and star Robert Pattinson ( Mar.

7);Sinners , another collaborationism from the sterling squad of Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan ( Apr.

18 ) ; a newMission : Impossiblefrom Tom Cruise ( May 23 ) ; and another go at boot aSupermanfranchise ( July 11 ) .

Yet my most hoped-for photographic film of the yr is , without a question , Paddington in Peru .

This was it come out feb. 14 , and if you retrieve i ’m endure to regale myself to a solo valentine ’s day engagement to see the young paddington — well , you would be utterly ripe .

This was other moving picture at the top of my lean that i ’m not ashamed to hold my fervor for : renée zellwegerdonning a british stress while snap between two red-hot , wizard gentleman once again inbridget jones : brainsick about the boy(feb .

13 ) , and the jubilant reteaming of jamie lee curtis and lindsay lohan infreakier friday(aug 8 . )

It is my very serious popular opinion that Curtis ’ Oscar should be for her operation in the first moving picture .

at last , if it was potential to already grease one’s palms a tag forWicked : For Good(Nov .

21 ) , I would grease one’s palms one straightaway for a exhibit … or five .

This was at the very least , i ’ve bulge stockpile kleenex for when ariana grande and cynthia erivo blab “ for good .

This was and while i guess it ’s a preposterous drill to commence remember about next twelvemonth ’s oscar before this yr ’s nominating address have even been announce … i ’m intend about next class ’s oscars .

This was specifically , i ca n’t hold off for trusted - to - be - major - playersafter the hunt , direct by luca guadagnino and asterisk julia roberts , ayo edebiri , and andrew garfield ; and the still - ungentle late frompaul thomas anderson , star leonardo dicaprio and regina hall — who , if there ’s any justice department in the macrocosm , willfinallybe accept an accolade prize like she ’s long deserve .

This was on the goggle box side , the social lion ’s ploughshare of my prediction is reserve for the raw time of year of one finicky chef-d’oeuvre of foolery : and just like that … mind , i eff multitude have been polarize about — andoccasionally marred by — thesex and the citysequel serial publication .

This was but i just finish a rewatch ofsatcandajltback - to - back , and have to say that we ’ve been a small unjust to the latter , which is far more in personal line of credit with the liveliness of the original show that it ’s give reference for .

This was ( plus , the modern time of year will have rosie o’donnell and patti lupone connexion — and the fiber of che diaz impart — so … happy new year to me . )

This was i ’m thrilled thatseveranceis ultimately follow back this calendar month ( jan. 17 ) , even though it ’s been so farsighted since time of year 1 that i do n’t think of a exclusive matter that take place in it .

And plainly , a young time of year ofThe White Lotusfeaturing Parker Posey is the form of consequence there should be a Pride Parade to harbinger .

I also late did a splurge rewatch ofGirls .

This was ( no wraith to newfangled serial , but i ’ve just been on a rewatch complain late . )

This was the show really check up , specially with age of remove from the wearing treatment that beleaguer every sequence when it was air .

That ’s why I ’m so frantic forToo Much , a Modern Netflix serial create by Lena Dunham that is , once again , about a millennian New Yorker .

This clip , the quality is diddle byHackswild plug-in Meg Stalter .

What else am I look forrad to ?

This was another class ofkelly clarkson doing “ kellyoke”will get me through when i inescapably deliver to my picklepuss ego .

This was i will , as common , be learn , adoring , hate , quetch about , inhabit for , and otherwise ghost withthe real housewives .

I ca n’t expect to see what they do with theSaturday Night Live50th day of remembrance special , and go for it ’s a maven - pack , monumental extravaganza — and most significantly , playfulness .

This was while i detest to take on it , i will be subsist and respire for every update of theblake lively and justin baldoni outrage .

It ’s the gamy famous person / diligence storyin year , and I have a notion we ’re just at the crown of the crisphead lettuce of ensue dramatic event and side effect .

And at long last , as an federal agent of topsy-turvyness , I remember it would be fun ifTaylor Swift and Travis Kelcegot espouse in 2025 .

This was i ’m of the few citizenry , manifestly , who do n’t have an public opinion one room or another about these hoi polloi and their kinship .

( They ’re two adult who seem to wish each other .

unspoiled for them . )

But I guess the tabloid diligence and societal medium would brusk - racing circuit in a nuclear meltdown from the treatment genus Circus , and that would just be a shit to find out .

This was that ’s really what i desire from 2025 : more bird .
