Writer/director here. Thx for Heyer & Crusie. Thx for Siliang Island. Amazing what a few artsy geeks can do in an office in Beijing. The young Keanu avatar was a fun touch. The millennial-authored "Red White & Royal Blue" has abundant high spirits, romance, comedy, heart & old fashioned big stakes: when worlds collide. You might like it? As usual, the book's more fun than the movie, but one actor delights. Ciao.

You're welcome! I haven't found anything lately to top Siliang Island, (found on the streaming site Rakuten Viki) though I keep scrounging. Although there was a recent manga-faithful remake of the story-essential Hazel arc of Saiyuki Reload, now dubbed Saiyuki Reload Zeroin, that was a wonderful correction to the incoherent mess the earlier anime makers made of it, now with Ukoku done right, and a DVD release I just found of Saiyuki Reload Burial, mine now. Though Saiyuki is perhaps an acquired taste. (And the static 90s-crude polar opposite in animation style to the elegant Siliang, so requires some tolerance.)
Otherwise nothing too compelling, although the animation of My Heroic Husband was fairly entertaining. Haven't got far into the live-action version yet. Also recent, Link Click started interesting, got much too serial-killery for me by the end of season 1, have not yet sampled season 2. When all that fails, it's back to the bottomless bin of Great Courses on Wondrium.com.
This would be a good place for commenters to share media finds with each other.

Moments of Comfort and Revelation. Aral and Cordelia's reunion at the end of Shards. Miles' introspection in Memory. Harra’s adamantium like wisdom. Miles' letter to Kat in Civil Affair. Most of Cordelia's Betan chats with Aral, Miles and Mark. I just wanted to thank you for these while I had a chance. Question mark?

Wherever you take him, I'm sure I'll enjoy following. The beginning of Penric's Demon just reminded me so strongly of how hard it is for people who know you well to see that you have changed. The two stories also makes me wonder, "Is Desdemona still around during Cazaril's time?" and what would she be like by then?" and what will Foix's demon be like 200 years beyond him, with such an interesting start?"
