it's a slow somber song, maybe you've dirged to it.

she plays the ukelele to "La Vie En Rose" was, for me, nothing short of stunning. (but LVER is one of my favorites and I had *just* married a couple that used it as 'their song' so I was sort of primed for emotion at that point)

oh you know TV relationship reasons like "you know this really won't work out after all" over really nothing. At least, that's my memory of their on again/off again relationship. I mean, it was 'fine', but LOVED Tracy (aka The Mother). Something next level about her. GREAT casting. And that ep where

ditch that at the 11th hour... well, I suppose there's a certain "twist" in that but.... this wasn't a 'twist' show, it was a 'here's all the pieces of the final episode' show. grr, cannot even see an Insta clip without getting really annoyed

well, exactly... and then, "yeah, the Mother you've been looking forward to meeting for a decade? Yeah, well, she's dead but here's Robin, the runner up! ISN'T THAT ROMANTIC??" And I liked the audacity of spending an entire season on that one day given its importance to the show's premise. but to

the How I Met Your Mother finale - all they needed to do was (essentially) a clip show of everything they'd flash forwarded to over the years - they built to something... and then took a wrecking ball to it that left a sour taste in most fans' mouths. Never seen a show toss its own premise like that

I think she's undesirable in that movie because her character is kind of batshit crazy and the protagonist is just trying to get home after a hookup gone terribly wrong; so hooking up with anyone is not his priority. His response to June in the club is out of exhaustion and hurt but isn't sexual.

MEMO - A Short Breather!
A few weeks ago, I looked around at my life and concluded that due to a variety of factors, I might not land my next role until the new year.

Ultimately Marvel is a for profit business and whatever makes them the most money is what they're going to do more of. one can lament the loss of artistic vision, but then, why are our expectations of these movies that they must have artistic vision?

even then, I overhead some tween boys in the theater I saw it at say "that was boring" and another online say that "it's a Punisher movie with a few Spiderman scenes thrown in (that are boring)". Are those tweens conditioned to eshew emotion or bc they're tweens they despise it and want a slugfest?

<shrug> he's not wrong but what of it? it's a bit of supply and demand ie fans will pay for it and, frankly, want that from their comic book heroes. There is a place for nuanced, emotional storytelling, of course, but, like in the recent Spiderman, it seems that they *must* do a big fight scene and

timeline cleanse - a one minute movie featuring tonight's sunset in the 10708 - it was pretty great and then it got spectacular. Enjoy! :)

My sister had that Star Trek comic (she was a ST fan) and I grabbed it so that I could use it to trace the size of what a comic book should be for my homemade comics. I still have it - it's in decent condition (but the pencil I used back then may have rubbed off on the edges of the pages!) :)

we usually give something 2 or 3 episodes bc sometimes first eps are a lot of exposition trying to set things up and can be awkward.

and comics. and movies. and, while we're at it, if drag queens upset you, don't go see one. this concept that everything and every place has to be palatable for every living being on this planet is the biggest thing that ought to just STOP.

if you're eating a few big meals, try eating lots of small meals instead. and protein protein protein - buy the bags of frozen skinless chicken breasts and bulk cook them and then freeze a few and leave the rest in the frig to eat one as a snack. I used to eat tuna as a 'snack' as well.

He can kill Paramount. He can kill CBS. He can even kill 60 Minutes. But f around with Star Trek and you've got a world of fans on top of him like ants on a hornet.

re-creating the entire studio structure in another city, well, that'll cost him even more $. if he bankrupts the studio & Pmount goes away, he will forever be known as the man who killed a 100 year old institution. it's not something this guy wants- it'll be a millstone for the rest of his life.

hah. this is extortion and anyone is out of their head if they think that Paramount is going to simply leave all those soundstages and build them elsewhere. I say call his bluff. Certainly don't give in. If they do leave (and that's a big if) they're not going to set up shop anywhere else soon and

streaming version and it bugs me. It's not a particularly funny joke but it actually acknowledges Chandler's homophobia and I think is important to the character in a way. But I'm also of the group that wishes Lucas would NOT have changed any of the SW movies in any way. #hanshotfirst

I've seen this done in tv shows w/o a notice and it bugs me - it's rewriting history. Let history stand but acknowledge the current mores about whatever is felt to be outdated. The Disney notice is a great example. There's a joke in an episode of Friends (of all shows) that got edited in the

I agree.. except when Person A says "hey I really liked (fill in the blank - Captain Marvel, Supergirl, Rise of Skywalker, Dr Who's Disney season and so forth) - and Persons B,C,D - Z scream bloody hell at them for the audacity. then it becomes- a problem, in my opinion, to be on this site.

Yeah, I find myself saying that about a lot of things that 'we're' supposed to hate (pop culture-wise). But I've been so hen-pecked about some of those things here in BS that Ive largely stopped engaging. Who needs to feel like they have to defend something to the death?
