RANTING & RAVING | STORIES I ATE JUNE 2019

[@aunthegeek5788]

Riverdale is a _mess_ It's weird because the writer has done a pretty decent job with Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. He writes a trashy teen drama for the CW on purpose.

[@jokir5305]

I think part of it is because of the studio

[@SirEriol]

Aun The Geek Sabrina is trashy too, amd not in the campy, fun way.

[@aunthegeek5788]

@@SirEriol I have to disagree, Sabrina is genuinely good with it's paranormal plots and coming of age themes. It is a decent teen show. CW shows are just all over the place.

TOM HOLLAND STANS,WHERE YOU AT???

[@glambert169507]

Your description of Riverdale accurately describes how I feel

[@19Isa09]

But the first after credit scene from Spider-Man ffh though 😭

[@cheyennemarie7075]

19Isa09 Peter really can’t catch a break, poor kid!

[@nabeel2453]

Yeah the one where Mysterio reveals Spider-man’s identity

[@chocolatedepresso4658]

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 X 100,000

[@DashawnLoves]

Does anyone else entire binge-watch and book discography come from Christine because you and her both have the same taste and she always deliver us with bops?

[@yisrandomness7520]

OMG YESSS. THE UNHONEYMOONERS was absolutely amazing and adorable and funny and all kinds of fluff and I fricken LOVED it! My favorite Christina Lauren novel I've read so far. I shared my thoughts on the book, but would loveeeee to hear a full book talk by you!!!

[@peterDcontact]

"... It has all my favorite things like daddy issues...""" Hahahha dead

[@silverkyre]

Christine any plans to watch Anne with an E on Netflix! It's so beautiful and adorable and you're going to love all the characters!

[@hey-wt5pq]

Omg yes! It is one of my favorites

[@mollymaelittle9934]

I was just looking for a video to watch and then this popped up I’m so happy!😊❤️

[@teodoramaxim2670]

Red scrolls of magic...the book of the year.

[@danielaortiz9178]

Christine, I think you would LOVE Dark on Netflix. Two seasons, character development, an amazing puzzle of a show, wonderfully acted

[@IziFiz]

You are the only one I can think of that can rock that shade of lipstick. It's not fair !!

[@edensylvester13]

not to brag but I look surprisingly good in blue lipstick, my parents hate it though so I've only worn it like once

[@megancoffren3382]

The first number in Rocketman felt really weird and the number with his parents, but after the "Your Song" number, the musical numbers were great.

[@zoekate9943]

I think Chernobyl will be the best TV event of this year. All 5 episode are masterpieces.

[@benparrish6157]

The people who disliked this video were probably in a coma all of June and are jealous because they missed out on everything

[@shay8339]

I loved unhoneymooners too! Though I had never read other christina laurens books before, I was pleasantly surprised that I got right into it. I read it in one sitting, it was so good.

[@narcissamalfoy3166]

Ikr. Loved it❤❤❤❤

[@AllysonKing]

My cat literally hit this and I’m not mad 😂❤️

[@rileykirkpatrick3255]

I laughed so hard I actually started crying when you talked about Riverdale!!

[@elysiatan]

I love Christina Lauren books but for some reason I had trouble getting through the first few pages of The Honeymooners when I tried. You’ve got me excited to try again

[@georgiaellis9360]

Your book was amazing Christine ! Well done xxx

[@kkmmrew]

just finsihed king of scars yesterday! didn't realize it was the booksplosion for next month and now i'm super hyped! you will LOVE it. Hands down my favourite book of the year. Leigh bardugo managed to encapsulate all the best parts of the grishaverse and six of crows into one book.and in total Bardugo fashion it had me laughing and crying in the same sentence. also SO many shippable ships and i ship em all.

[@jenjen1513]

In my opinion, Far From Home was better than Homecoming. The cinematography and lighting design worked much better, and I was thrilled that Zendaya really got to shine in the role of MJ. I just felt like the characters were more developed in the movie, not to mention the special effects were phenomenal. It was very well done. Sorry, I just really love this movie. A lot.

[@coleweber9974]

Agreed!

[@jayw115]

lol the intro, me here, rediscovering this channel after 5 freaking years

[@alexwoods6993]

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU ON SPIDER-MAN FAR FROM HOME!!! I loved all the character development scenes in both this one and Homecoming. And I CAN’T WAIT for whatever the next one is titled!

[@TayanaZook]

WHO ELSE LOVES HER BTW I'm a KZbinr too!

[@delrose7026]

Tayana Zook love you videos

[@sunflower2187]

Omg I adored Rocketman I also didn't expect it to be a musical but I ended up loving it so much!

[@annie-4984]

couldn't read the first title in the beginning bc of the lightning but Christine was so excited omg 😂❤️

[@lilajanick]

For SpiderMan I feel like the pacing was a bit fast for my taste. But I also feel like that was necessary and planned. It shows how hectic things are for Peter and it’s why you feel for him. Like... everything is changing so quickly and he’s still grieving and he’s still just a kid and wants to be a kid. But no, the world is moving and villains are rising and he’s being forced to step up and it’s so fast. It works for this movie. Idk maybe that’s just me! Also: Love all your stuff Christine!! Gonna check out The Unhoneymooners and I promise not to read the synopsis!

[@camriwages6751]

Since you’re in a Christina Lauren mood, you should read My Favorite Half-Night Stand by them. It’s about college professors finding romance together through online dating. That’s a very vague description of it, but it’s definitely worth the read.

[@soniambience]

I ate Again, But Better this month. It was phenomenal. I can’t listen to Red without thinking of Pilot Penn (okay but love love love the allusion to the pen brand because Pilot Pens are my favorite)❤️

[@isabellelovesbooks]

Sooo I FINALLY read ABB, and... I ABSOLUTELY FLIPPIN LOVED IT! God, It was soo good, with the jokes, Harry Potter references, and Shane said “what even” like you do Christine!! And it felt so “real” like, here was a main character’s story that was so relatable, like you were watching a tv show or something and AAB is my now favorite book!!! I told my bff about it, and now she’s going to read it! ABB deserves all the hype it’s getting and more, This book was sooo good and it was everything I never knew I wanted in a YA contemporary story!! The Beatles are one of my favorite bands, and I love the representation! Same with Blink- 182! I love Adam’s song, and My favorite song by The Beatles, is probably Don’t let me down, or Drive my car, or Elenor Rigby. I loved Shane and Pilots story and the joke about his name, I would’ve said “ you’re name is Pilot.... like Twenty One Pilots?” Hahaha this book made my life. I was going through a reading slump which stinks, and then Cameron Boyce passed 😭, so I didn’t feel like reading, but I did!! And ABB got me out of my slump, and I’m so proud that one of my favorite funny booktubers wrote it. Love you Christine!!🥳🥳💛💛 “Xoxo 2018”😂😂😂

[@LeandraWallace]

Me and my two best friends just picked The Unhoneymooners for the book club we recently started (first book we read was Wicked Saints by Emily A.Duncan)! I am dying to dive in!! The little bit I've read so far was addicting! Then we're meeting in September at a tea room on a farm to discuss it. I'm so excited!!!! =D

[@gabriellaamello11]

my favorite half night stand was another really good christina lauren. i read it in a day during a rather lonely weekend.

[@safiwafi05]

While I absolutely loved Spiderman: FFH, I do agree with you about the fast pacedness. Also, I felt Peter liking MJ popped out of nowhere, but they were cute in the end. And your Riverdale analysis is 10000% true, I can't even begin to tell you how accurate it is.

[@boozeey]

when she said “far away from home” my heart broke 🤧

[@jadynd.c.8708]

Spider-Man was so good!!! But when me and my mom walkout my mom was like it had the same plot like the first Incredibles movie where the villain creates their own monster so they can play the hero. BTW have any of you seen the Mulan teaser trailer yet? I was watching it waiting for her to sing but it never happened!!!! 😭

[@edensylvester13]

yeah it definitely reminded me of Syndrome, that doesn't make it the "same plot" though like it's interesting to see another take on that idea bc they didn't have the same motives or anything

[@blainevanity6]

They already announced a long time ago that the live-action won’t be a musical.

[@jadynd.c.8708]

@@edensylvester13 Sorry I didnt mean same plot but same... trope? cuz they both wanted to be hero's and they both thought that making their own villains to fight was the best solution but what pushed them to do it was a different motive so yes your right sorry that probably didn't make any sense...

[@jadynd.c.8708]

@@blainevanity6 No really!?!? That's so heartbreaking!!!! 😢😭😭😭

[@jadynd.c.8708]

@@Poggers6969-m2x I'm sorry!!! 😢 I didn't even think of that I'll be more careful in the future 🤐

[@gabriellenegrillo9275]

I loved twice in a blue moon. It’s one of my favorite books by CLo!

[@gabriellefortier8733]

Great video Christine! I'm reading your book right now Christine and I'm loving it. I'll let you know my thoughts, opinions and feels after I'm done reading it.🙂

[@deborahclipp5654]

Ugh, I forgot you just watched Yesterday recently. I can’t believe have to wait another month for you to talk about it lol What do you think Shane would think of Yesterday? I think she would dig it. Love your videos! ❤️

[@Thebookishdisneymom]

I love these videos! I get so much good recommendations! Thank you 🤗

[@giveemhelldel9999]

have you read Autoboyography because its the only Christina Lauren I've read but it SLAPS if you want a romcom but still hard hitting.

[@MadyMadison]

I just finished the book Bloodleaf and had a similar experience! It really made me want to get up and read every day and be excited about it again! Highly recommend it!

[@jlgg-mr8xh]

BTW...When I went to see Rocket Man, I saw a young man reading your book at the bar!! I had to go over and say hello and tell him that I was a fan of you too!

[@jlgg-mr8xh]

Again But Better was sitting on the bar at the movies...couldn't resist going up to him lol

[@dorcat2867]

The Chernobyl miniseries was one of the most horrifying but also the most interesting tv show I’ve ever watched in my life, I was glued to screen the whole time, it was so interesting to learn how the disaster happened and the consequences because of it

[@Kooky3MC]

Dor Cat yesss I thought it was incredible!!

[@dorcat2867]

Jordan W It was amazing, me, my sister and my mum cancelled all our plans so that we could watch the whole miniseries in one day

[@ParanoidPopsticle]

Omg I looooved Booksmart!!! It was so good and so funny!

[@alysonserenastone2917]

The Unhoneymooners is one of the top books I'm looking forward to reading. I've honestly never seen The Matrix either.

[@peachh6084]

Omg Unhoneymooners yes! Two words: boat + bums. SO FREAKING FUNNY. I loved that part soo much ahahahaha!!!

[@GalacticShawn]

Wow! You have got some energy kid. Congrats on your book.

[@maystify5174]

You seem so happy and upbeat in this video and it’s so nice!!I hope you’ve been able to relax :):)): I felt the EXACT same way about Spiderman FFH!!

[@emerzzz]

That Chernobyl mini series fucked me up. It was so good yet horrifying

[@ericanaytorrr]

i agree i found the rocketman number so good i kept thinking about it afterwards

[@SoleilCeline]

I loved Spiderman: Far From Home so unbelievably much, I'm seeing it again sometime this week. AGH Everything about it was just... AMAZING! I have never seen Riverdale and I only know about what happens in it from these videos, but I am constantly confused on what is happening in Riverdale haha

[@julz9717]

About 2 years ago I was like you know what, I need to watch the matrix. It's a cultural icon. My reaction when it finished was "I don't get it" I mean it was fine, but it didn't blow my mind. I guess it was the time that it came out that played a big part in how much of a an important film it was

[@MichParker]

OMG I really need to read The Red Scrolls of Magic! I already want to read it so bad because MALEC, but knowing it explains more makes me want to get my hands on it more!

[@tijanakovac7865]

I am thoroughly convinced to pick up some Christina Lauren

[@mauraeury6987]

I'm so excited for the King of Scars live show!

[@paulamue3071]

Hey Christine I think you would really enjoy skam, it's a Norwegian TV show, with quite short episode and all about highschool drama.

[@user-cl6jp5vj1g]

Yessssss

[@formilossake9921]

I came early For some reason there are dislikes on your videos Who would dislike you videos?!?

[@zoekate9943]

I’d like to tell you Riverdale gets better later or at least makes more sense but... we’ll, I’m sure you’ve seen the meme compilations 😂

[@LaurenCondon]

Who gave you permission to take my breath away!? I LOVED Booksmart and want to watch it again and again

[@aamandavlogs]

Christine! You have to read Maybe in Another Life by Taylor Jenkins Reid! Met my rom com requirements while also being so well written!

[@ElizabethNicoleSchwartz]

I've seen a fair number of stuff that you've seen this time! I'm absolutely obsessed with Rocketman, I've seen it 5 times and I'd happily do it again. Riverdale season 3 I got to like episode 12 and stopped watching. Not sure if I'm gonna continue. I saw Isn't It Romantic a month or two ago and it kinda underwhelmed me. I enjoyed it, but not as much as you did. And I wanna see Booksmart and read Red Scrolls of Magic so badly.

[@edensylvester13]

13:01 you weren't supposed to watch it when you were 9, that's why it's rated R loll

[@pnwperson]

still never seen the matrix...I fall asleep within 20min EVERY time I've tried.

[@thescarletfangirl9397]

I was just remembering how I snuck out of my room while my dad was watching the matrix and I was horrified and traumatized by that scene! And I was 2...

[@cobiecaroline23]

I consider Riverdale season 3 a torture device. It was a mess and absolutely horrible towards the end. I was absolutely disappointed. I don’t usually comment on these things but I had to on this cause I feel like Im the only one that agrees with you

[@kristenambriel3293]

WAIT. Where is the game of thrones season 8 review? I clicked on this & wanted to hear your thoughts on that 😂 will it be a separate video?

[@BeckyCowan]

If you love Christina Lauren's books then I highly recommend all of her other books! Beautiful Bastard, Beautiful Player etc! :)

[@CaitlynAnneReads]

I related to the Just One Day comment SO HARD 😂

[@robertmcelfresh1031]

Riverdale: I agree. What was so addictive about that game? I could not relate or understand many of the plot twists so I stopped watching mid-season. The new "Nancy Drew" series looks like a Riverdale clone, but I will hope it is better.

[@ardentlyyearning]

Far from home is that bitch where you kind of can't effing catch a break and when you thought you did, a shit storm is coming. It really ended the whole Infinity Saga with a fucking bang. Homecoming is still my favorite tho just because.

[@hplekk1856]

In Spider-Man, the villains motive was very rushed and the reveal was very cheesy. He was like MUAHAHAHA THIS WHY IM DOING THIS AND I HATE HIM AND MUAHAHAHA. I was very disappointed with Far From Home tbh. I only ~ liked ~ it because of the character dialogue and the end credit scenes

[@edensylvester13]

Idk that part was actually pretty scary and I think it was a well-done villain twist that I literally haven't seen since before Frozen. It felt like after Frozen had an abrupt villain twist that made no sense (like we saw Hans alone and he acted perfectly good until after Anna found out about him), every other movie also decided to have zero foreshadowing which just made the villain twists unbelievable. But this time they brought back the dramatic irony of us knowing before the characters which makes it a lot more intense. It definitely could've been better but it wasn't really bad imo

[@Awezomezauce]

Hplekk18 yeah I completely agree with you. I was really looking forward to ffh but I ended up being pretty disappointed. I liked all the character stuff that happened and I thought it was funny, but imo Mysterio was a pretty lame villain. He never scared me and I never believed he could really beat Spider-Man, not even for like a second lol. Also all the drone stuff just wasn’t really explained that well idk it was kinda stupid. I did like the end credit scene tho

[@acfarmer92]

I relate so much to your reaction to Riverdale! I also got Teen Wolf vibes. I currently can’t stop watching Veronica Mars because Kristen Bell is the best.

[@holleay964]

Christine: there's a motorcycle outside I'm getting emotional just thinking about it

[@snoproblem]

re: 'Chernobyl' - I've read a couple of books about the disaster, and those had a pretty graphic description of what hard-core radiation poisoning does to a person. The hesitation to watch the miniseries is strong, for that reason. Yikes.

[@holymolyguacamole2142]

Just a heads up, they definitely show some stuff. But the show is so amazing, watch it anyways!

[@reneewolosion785]

Have you caught up with the last season of Crazy Ex girlfriend? I tried watching some of your last episodes of this series but couldn't find anything on it. Would love to hear your thoughts!

[@MaryAmongStories]

Chernobyl sounds incredible, I need to watch it!

[@gabrielasantos-deleon7372]

We need a red skull of magic book talk!!!!

[@holymolyguacamole2142]

I didn’t know Rocketman was gonna be a straight up musical. So since I went in expecting a Bohemian Rhapsody style movie, I was a little let down since musicals aren’t really my thing. I definitely would have preferred to have seen it at home in a more laid back setting. Agree with your score & analysis though because it was definitely moving. Taron Egerton is fantastic.

[@holymolyguacamole2142]

Godzilla was fucking awful. I mean absolutely awful. I saw so many tweets justifying that the movie didn’t need to be good because people only watch it to see the monsters. And while I completely agree that there are movies that do the whole “not a good movie but I still loved it” well (like The Meg), Godzilla wasn’t one of them! So many scenes didn’t make logical sense, like Godzilla standing in the ocean on nothing and then swimming away. 🤣🤣 The movie didn’t do Vera Farmiga and Millie Bobby Brown any favors, like the ballpark scene and the Vera driving away scene 😂 The only good part to the movie was indeed the monsters.

[@holymolyguacamole2142]

After you finish Chernobyl, make sure to read an article about what they changed for the show purposes. I think it’s important! And yes Chernobyl was amazing.

[@shadowpdk457]

And also I've been kinda spoiled for Stranger Things 3, bc i found a vid and it said tribute for the death characters or smth like that and i wasn't sure if i saw correctly and that kinda motivated me to finish it so i just watched the last 5 episodes and god it was sooooo goood but I need another seson with the gang and I will be mad if they don't do another one
