  1. WTAF is going on on this stupid show? It's been painfully bad for a long long time, but now? I can barely manage to watch this. So when Poppy and Luna came to town, they seemed like a loving mother/Daughter. Now, Poppy was an evil mom and that caused Luna to turn to murder? Really writers? Pssst if you want to keep an actress around, don't make her character into a murderer! It's pretty simple. I have no idea what this storyline is supposed to be! Like what is Bill doing? Make it make sense. Hope made Carter take over Forrester? Really writers? FFS! We all saw Carter making these plans for Forrester and now we are supposed to believe it was all Hope's idea? I loved Carter and Quinn but aside from that pairing, the character sucks. Who would ever be falling for Daphne's nonsense? She isn't remotely believable as some kind of temptress. I mean come on. Make it make sense. Brooke is still begging that hobo for attention? After he ran off with Taylor for the billionth time? Really writers? Current Taylor is the most boring Taylor and I didn't think it was possible to make Taylor even less interesting but these writers have managed it. At least the prior Taylor had fire chemistry with Brooke! How is Luna even out of prison? How does this make any damn sense? She murdered two people and hasn't ever denied it! Also, how has Katie not been nosing around to find out about this nonsense? Also also, what happened to the whole Bill and Katie re-up after she broke up with Carter? I'm not a fan of the pairing anymore but just saying we went from emotional 'my Katie' scenes to whatever this junk is with Luna. Congrats to all who guessed Finn was Luna's father. Hilarious. But naturally Steffy is on brand with her reaction because she is just the worst. Everything is about her - gotta love that Finn being Luna's dad is somehow something Finn did to Steffy. What?!? Amazing that the people writing this nonsense are considered professional writers who are paid. Nearly everyone on this board could manage to do better.
  2. I really enjoyed Woman on the Run - one of my favorites on noir alley for sure. Pretty bummed the show won't be on for a month ... again!
  3. I saw it today and really liked it. Tons o dread, it is beautiful and very well acted.
  4. Yep, Skye is correct. Bill's destiny at that time turned out not to be Brooke but instead a building. Bikye forevah!
  5. While I tend to be on the side of Bill and Katie really don't need another go round, HT and DD still have a ton of chemistry and manage to make me care every now and again during their scenes. I'd still rather watch any version of your scenario than what we are currently seeing on screen. Sorry not sorry. I don't care at all about Carter taking over Forrester. I don't. Ultimately stupid Steffy and Ridge will win and there's no suspense in that. I'd much rather see Carter/Hope and whoever start their own fashion company to challenge Forrester. Brooke has never been a character I care much about but WTF are the writers doing to her? i know Ridge is her destiny but come on! Also KKL and TK continue to have negative chemistry. Dude has been playing 'Ridge' for 11 years and it is just the worst recast. Ugggh ... this show.
  6. I actually had never seen this movie until a few years ago i caught it on the big screen during a flashback cinema showing. I enjoyed it and was shocked at how many of the songs I knew!
  7. If everyone at Forrester was fired for wearing inappropriate clothes to work or doing inappropriate things at work, no one would be employed at the company. When one is being bullied at work and then fired for no good reason, it makes one the victim. Steffy bullied Hope over Thomas and acted like a jealous ex rather than a sister. Then she moved onto bullying Hope over a kiss with Finn. Now yes it ultimately was a bad move on Hope's part but FFS ... it was a kiss. Hope didn't sleep with the guy and then have his baby (like hypocrite Steffy did with Hope's husband Liam). Now Steffy has fired Hope over ... checks notes ... nothing to do with work or with Finn or with Steffy. Hope please sue Forrester pronto and then get Carter, Katie and anyone else to start a new fashion house with you.
  8. Completely agree. Whatever the writers intent, it is not coming across on screen. I don't mind a bitchy character at all - one of my favorites was Olivia on GL. My issue with Steffy isn't her bitchiness, it's that she never loses. She is allowed to call Hope or Brooke a slut and no one is allowed to mention her issues with fidelity. Now I don't think any female character should be slut shamed but if the writers allow Steffy to do it, other characters aren't given the same opportunities. Even Stephanie got taken down a peg or two along the way. Of course her being ostracized couldn't last forever, but at least it happened. I think one of the biggest issues with Steffy is the actress. I don't think she's very good in general, but she also goes all in on bitchy/angry 24/7. There isn't a bit of nuance. Her portrayal doesn't help the character at all. Now perhaps she's directed that way, I don't know but regardless watching Steffy is an absolute slog for me. I think this show needs a rival fashion house. I wish Hope and Carter would get that rolling. Forester Creations having no rival has just been boring for ages now.
  9. I really loved this movie and I agree, it's probably the best one I've seen this year. I've never been a big Demi Moore fan, but she is terrific in this. I'm sure she brought some of her experiences of daring to age in Hollywood into this role. My sister saw this too and recommended it. Though she isn't really into horror or body horror! I have a feeling she was covering her eyes a few times. Even a horror hound like myself gets a bit squeamish with the body horror stuff. The Sue beating Elizabeth to death was probably the toughest scene for me. I agree the elder abuse was hard to watch. The ending was bonkers and I loved it. Pink Ranger have you seen the directors first movie Revenge? Overall it is beyond ridiculous, but I don't care I absolutely enjoyed it too!
  10. I absolutely love Pulp Fiction, though it has been a while since I last watched it. Funny story, I went to see this with a friend and then about a month or so later it showed up on our army post. It was a dollar theater type and we decided to go again. We're sitting there and suddenly this couple comes in with 2 little kids. Like way too young to be at this movie. I had one sitting next to me. As we came up on the gimp scene, I really wanted to cover the eyes of the kid next to me! But then I realized he'd already heard the f word about a 1000 times and everything else up to that point, so I figured if his parents were okay with all that, it wasn't my business! It was uncomfortable though! I may need to watch it this weekend.
  11. It's not that bad!! At least the vampires don't sparkle! It's just generic. It barely has anything to do with the book on which it's supposed to be based. There is no character development at all. The editing is insane - like there are no transitions or anything between scenes. A couple of times I felt like I might have hit the ff button by mistake because the cut from one scene to the next was so abrupt. Though I was thrilled to see a Nosferatu type vampire rather than the Dracula in a cape type.
  12. I'd be curious to know what he liked about it! All these filmmakers did was use the title of the book and the character names to make a generic vampire movie. I did read that. Honestly I'm glad it wasn't in theaters.
  13. Alfre Woodward deserved so much better. I decided to watch the 2004 mini series tonight and that sure wasn't much better. My advise is to stick with the original mini series. While not perfect, it's much better than the other adaptations. So disappointed.
  14. Though I had a tough time getting into it, I ended up really liking it. I'm going to try Silver Nitrate. The Shining is as good as i remember!
  15. Agreed but to be fair, the writers actually used to care and focus on hospital stories. I have to admit I am loving the Lucky/Elizabeth stuff. The actors still have a ton of chemistry much like AG and GF. And I will agree with one and all: Lucky needs a shower and needs to wash that hair!!
