To All the Boys I've Loved Before

This is one of those teenage 1st romance tales, an original Netflix. Tara wanted Stacy to see it. I had denied it earlier because there were no fight scenes (I don’t remember saying that - Tara said I said it - but I don’t doubt her). It’s actually quite sweet. The lead actress nails it - Lana Condor - one to watch. She’s also an Asian lead which is so refreshing. There are nods to Korean culture with Yakult references (which Tara says is trending with her gen largely due to this film) and a good comment on Long Duk Dong of 16 Candles, plus a few other subtle nods without it getting overly Asian, just enough to be authentic. Kind of trippy to watch mainstream US media go more Asian. We’ve come along way since Sulu.

Not even remotely DOOM but I thought I’d share.

Looks like the end of your post took flight, like a condor named Lana -- and now I'm seeing that big floppy condor in that other movie.
(Note: You'll likely fix your post before I post this, or shortly after.)

Caught me in mid post there cf. When I post here from my iPhone, it bogs down after a few sentences, so I must post, then full edit to continue.

Dang, I’m bummed I missed the condor reference. Good catch, very DOOMly. 

I got a thirst for Yakult now, it’s been years since I had one of those...
