  1. Since i checked out of the bachelor a long, long time ago, this is now my replacement trash television show But I'm getting frustrated....I see that the other people found matches, but they were not chosen to be shown/go to Mexico....but I call such BS on that....I see why when they did the first season they didn't have the budget for it, i read that the show runners thought NO ONE would make it to the alter so they only budgeted so much, but what's the excuse now? they are following the same exact formula as last time....with 6 couples But OMG the men really suck this season, where do I begin??? Shayne, Shake! JerBear is okay, but shame on Iyanna for accepting his proposal...you WERE the second choice no matter what he says LOL, and Nick, Sal, and Kyle are just okay.... The women I think are better this season than last, but there's still some cringe ones like Shania, and Danielle is becoming very problematic..... At this rate it looks like no one will make it long term!
  2. I'm wondering how many people did this....I'm sure quite a few When they first announced this at the end of S2 of the Mandolorian I thought I probably wouldn't watch it, but then with the lack of shows to watch on Disney Plus that I was interested in I decided to watch it. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great either....it had some good parts (not counting the Mando/Grogu stuff) like the Tuskan Raider storyline, the Hutts, the Rancor, but I would probably say the bad stuff outweighed it....the Pykes were so boring But of course Mandolorian 2.5 redeemed it.....I'm with everyone who enjoyed their scenes together....and the line of the series goes to the Amy S. with the "Grogu? That's a terrible name" I'm glad the writers can make fun of themselves.... But I have to say-as happy as I am that the dynamic duo are back together, I kinda felt like it cheapened that great ending the two of them had last season, I was so shocked that Mando took off his helmet and we saw Pedro Pascal's face again...considering all those rumors abound that he wasn't on set all at all and was "asked to leave"...such garbage
  3. As someone else mentioned, they are not in Ontario....they are on the other side of the country/Canada hence the "Canadian Rockies" lol.... closer to Vancouver 🙃 Money from the press for the story (since Shauna said she only has 12K in her college fund)....they seem to want the scoop on the buzz buzz buzz girls Yes, they definitely over-analyzed that, much ado was made over nothing, the writers hopefully learned their lesson for next time I'm doing a complete re-watch of the whole season, there is so much to pick up on the second time on a re-watch....especially seeing the signs with Jeff and the blackmail texts....and the stuff with Lottie....watching her "visions" again....it is more an obvious she is the antler queen....not sure what deer will have to do with her cult later on...but it will be interesting to see, and she was in what appeared to be an underground bunker....maybe something will happen with that too....
  4. This wasn't too bad, there's been other documentaries on other channels regarding beanies, and I guess this topic is going to be made into a movie? My question-what is the hype with this topic right now? LOL Luckily I never got into beanie babies, because i'm, like the mom said, "a collector, I collect things" lol I just never saw the appeal to them, though the teenie beanies were cute, but omg, I remember pulling up to the McD's (just to get food, not the teenie beanies) and seeing the signs posted, "we have no teenie beanies babies" LOL
  5. woohoo! this second trailer looks awesome, and it is coming in February! even better 👏
  6. hahaha, yes, i used the spelling for being awake....my bad
  7. I've been meaning to post in this thread sooner so here are my thoughts: I got showtime for 1 month due to a black Friday special,I got it because of the hype I heard about this show, looks like I will have to sign up again at the end of the year if this show really is ready with Season 2 by then I've thought from the beginning, that there's more girls alive that would probably come into the picture later on, and I thought a good "plot twist" could be that some of them were never discovered and were still living in the canadian rockies....looking like Lottie is one of them, no way someone is "pretending to be" Lottie, the Antler Queen is alive and well, and she's the one who probably killed Travis and sent the postcards, I think, the fab 4 or fab 5 if you count Travis made a deal with the others to let them go and live in the woods and keep their secret, because yeah, they did bad things, but Shauna made comments throughout the season making it sound like they would all go to jail if the truth came out, if there's a murderous cult still happening sure, maybe they hunt hunters??? I don't think Lottie wants to return to modern society, it would mean returning to her parents and going back on her meds I never bought into the Adam is Javi thing, first off, Shauna would have known it was him, when you spend that much time with someone, you know them, no matter how much time has passed Even though the writers misfired with Adam, I think they showed what the murder scene was about, trauma of the past resurfacing, she was convinced he was the blackmail guy so to me it made sense---what I find interesting, is that Jeff didn't seem all that fazed that she killed someone---makes me wonder how much he knows As for Tai, I've seen some comments (maybe on here) that some wonder if she herself has a history of mental illness, was there really a man with no eyes in that room? that scene was pretty creepy lol...obviously she goes into a fugue state or disassociating or whatever it is called....and I think it is a combination of everything resurfacing like with Shauna, the postcard, Travis dying, hearing about the lady in the tree, the campaign might have elevated it, but I think it would have slowly come out/emerged My predictions for next season, I'm sure I'll be wrong on these: Lottie will want/threaten Nat/Tai/Misty/Shauna to return to the cult, especially if she was the one who sent the "wish you were here" cards Callie will threaten Shauna with, "give me what i want or i'll go the cops" It will be revealed Javi is in the cult and that he fathered children with the girls-hence some of the people who came to pick up Nat Or, Javi will be killed when the clan wars start I just hope we at least get some answers on cabin man!
  8. So Candyman terrified me as a kid, and I wasn't easily scared. As sequels go, this was quite different, but I liked it....I get why it would not work for some, but I really liked the Director's vision, though the third act was kind of a mess....but I liked the message behind it and the use of the puppets That scene with Sherman coming out of the wall though....perfection with the creepiness....what kid wouldn't scream like someone mentioned above. But it wasn't the Candyman of the 90's.....
  9. Comedy? This is barely even satire. ^LOL-well, Leo did win a Golden Globe for the Wolf of Wallstreet in the Comedy category, back when actors went to that LOL I'm in the minority here, i quite liked this....but I also like Vice so....yeah, it was depressing, but at least for once we had a movie where someone didn't get a conscious at the last moment and saved the day.
  10. Visually this movie was great, really liked the first half with the carnival/circus scenes, but I wasn't that wowed by the story. Did like the geek ending though. It does make me want to see the original. And I was really, really impressed with Bradley Cooper in this role.
  11. I thought it was pretty clear in the opening lines of the movie what Peter's intention was..... Kid is smart...and maybe a psychopath....he played the long game I thought the second half of the movie was much better than the first.....I didn't love this movie, but I thought it was decent. I get the awards, but I'm still rooting for Will Smith for best lead, thought if Benedict C. gets it for this I won't complain.....but I wasn't that impressed with Kirsten D/Jesse P. *shrugs*
  12. I'm assuming the novel explains why it is called the Lost Daughter.....I too was in the camp that thought one of the daughters was dead, they did show that scene of one of them missing in the beginning.... I didn't hate the move, but I didn't like it either, it was so-so to me. I thought Dakota J. did pretty good considering her other work, and Olivia Coleman always does great, but, I just wasn't wowed by this at all....one thing I did like and appreciate, was that this was a film that showed a different side of being a parent and hardships of it.....and her truthful answer when she said she liked being gone for two years and didn't regret it.
  13. this movie was a little off the chain....but it somewhat works for halloween time 😆
  14. I only watched this because it was on HBO max 🤣 otherwise, i would not have gone to the theater.....it actually wasn't half bad, but i really wish these horror genre movies would stop having it when people are possessed, their bodies twist like pretzels.....
  15. Has it been confirmed the 3rd film is a go? This was my first movie back to the theater so i was quite enjoying my time in the theater, was so glad i picked to see this over Cruella 😆 I think I would still give the slight edge to the first film, but this was still a pretty good sequel, and i'm in for part 3!
  16. I think this was kind of a misfire by Disney...in the sense of....this didn't need to be made..... But i agree with the comment, if the intention is to build a storyline of Cruella, and not 101 Dalmatians, then I think what I would criticize the most about the movie is, I don't think kids under 8 or 9 would like it, I think it would move too slow/be too boring for them Really liked the costume design, the dogs when CGI'ed and not CGI were cute I did think Emma and Emma's acting was top notch....and my favorite scene and i thought best scene of the movie was the "monologue at the fountain scene" ....was kind of a Joker like scene, though the movie is definitely no Joker
  17. Yes, i hate it especially when translating languages how they have the subtitle up for half a second! And I concur, Elizabeth McGovern did not age well...at all I had never heard of this show until i started seeing non-stop commercials on Hulu Live....and I have a ROKU device and was browsing last week when i was bored and i happened to see that Epix had all 8 of the first season for free to stream....i quite liked this a lot....but, i'm not gonna be signing up for Epix anytime soon....my Mom cut down her cable channels so she does not have epix anymore so I'll just wait until season 2 is eventually free to stream as well....or, i might wait until all 8 are available and do the 7 day free trail lol I would say if someone wants total action and alien invasion, this is not the show for them, but if they want a good character study...this is the show for them
  18. the person i watch this with threw their arms up and said, "What did i say?" when Bombay said they are betting for the name back count me in for wanting a season 2!!!!!!! it has to happen!!!!!!
  19. I watched this when it came out, i thought it was really good/informative, but i thought it was too long, instead of two parts, i think they should have made it four parts at 45 minutes.....it was hard for me to keep my attention cause i was watching late at night and kept falling asleep, so i had to do a re-watch and start earlier in the evening.... I remember the days of the oxy craziness.....remember how Rush Limbaugh was addicted to it? I have my own oxy story to tell....when i was younger, i was going through some significant health issues at the time, had undergone a lot of surgeries....so i was familiar with pain and pain meds, Vicaden (spelling?), used a morphine drip (which sucks by the way and did nothing for me-it kept timing out because I kept hitting it)....and I never once developed any dependence on any of the drugs i had taken however, the last surgery i had during this time of my life, the hospital and doctor i was going to, had a new pain regiment approved....so....for my last surgery, i was given an epidural (which i've never given birth but it was AMAZING, i would opt for one hands down if i was having a child) and the week i was in the hospital during this recovery period, i was given oxycontin twice a day, at 8 am and at 8 pm let me tell you....i was developing a dependence to it and quick....five minutes before 8 i would sit on the bed with my hand out ready for my pill from the nurse....it was SCARY....but i had NO PAIN...none!!!! it was a miracle, the morphine drip that did NOTHING for me couldn't hold a candle to this.... it was the easiest surgery i ever had to recover from....my last day in the hospital, i know what the answer would be to this question and i knew i shouldn't be asking it, but i found myself asking my doctor if he would write me a prescription for oxycontin to take home and the response was a laugh with a quick "Nope!" I knew he wasn't going to do it, because he was an excellent doctor, plus this was in 2004 right after it all blew up, but i often wonder, had i gotten a script in my hands to take to a pharmacy, would i have gone down the path of some of those people? Like i said, as someone who is used to pain and has taken other drugs people developed dependencies to, i used to think "would never happen to me" until i took oxy.... It is amazing and scary what they can do with synthetic drugs these days...and i had a 80 tablet i think, it was a small white pill i remember that, imagine a 160!
  20. Never gonna happen 😆 Disney + is not Netflix.... I actually got used to the whole weekly release format with Disney + and HBO max...gives me something to look forward to on Friday's and Sunday's.... I've been watching this show since it was released....I ❤️ it.....i am big fan of the first movie and i quite liked the second, but i liked how all the homage is to the first one..... the person i watch this with says they think there will be a bet that the Ducks will make with the Don't Bothers at the State finals for the name rights to the team for the finale???? I could maybe see it happening 🤣
  21. Abraham is not gonna let her get out-if he’s still alive by 2025, I’m thinking he’s got to be in his 80s now right? I watched the first part in December and watched only 1 episode at a time. I thought it didn’t need to be 9 episodes and dragged though it was interesting seeing the bands early beginnings which the movie didn’t show. but the cliffhanger on the bus was just dumb-they should have ended part 1 with the elopement. part 2 I actually watched in 3-4 days, started off at only 1 episode at a time but I felt the story picked up enough that I chose to watch another right away. Not sure if it’s because part 2 got into more of the Selena story people know, or they just did a slightly better job. if anything I thought perhaps part 1 should have had less episodes and part 2 more episodes or done a part 3? I agree that Christian S was channeling JLo and my biggest gripe for part 2 was, there were sooo many performance scenes where her lips were not moving! And the band members hands and arms were just still.... it’s like, “can you at least PRETEND to actually be performing!!!!” it’s just sooooo lazy and terrible editing, direction, whatever u call it maybe that’s why this series got killed by critics and audiences and I told the hubby “Abraham IS joe Jackson minus the physical abuse” glad to see you all agree
  22. Yes, the height of the YA insanity, after the success of Twilight and Hunger Games, Hollywood tried it with Divergent and failed miserably. I have to say though, for some reason....I got MAJOR Katniss/Gale vibes with Alina/Mal...and I can't explain why, maybe it was the friends/not quite friends/survivors/known each other forever/do anything for each other vibe they had going on...not sure if that is how they are written in the book, or the show veered them that way. But, I will say....as in the HG, I am all for it 😆 And like Katniss, Alina is bland/boring and Mal is a hot head (yet hot) like Gale 😆 and I preferred the characters together than apart They are calling all these fantasy shows the "next" GOT....they did it with the Witcher (also a no, though i liked it), they will do it when Wheel of Time debuts on Amazon.....but yeah, this show was like, rated G compared to GOT Yeah, I would not be surprised if it does come out in later seasons that Mal is a Grisha....and to think, they would not had to have been separated 🙄 I'd give this show a solid B+....i quite liked it and I will do a re-watch, only because i watched it too quickly and need to take it in slower. Really liked the Crows and I think it was good to have the two different story lines going on. I think in some ways, I might have liked it better than the Witcher, only because i found it easier to follow. And there's so many subpar Netflix shows on, I tend to give more praise to the better ones, [Umbrella Academy, the Crown, Stranger Things, Witcher]....but Netflix also has duds like Cursed!!!!
  23. This made me laugh out loud (literally). I need to watch the first Godzilla again and finally watch Godzilla king of the monsters and do a comparison.....HBO max has both movies available to watch. You know, I never even thought of this....but excellent point....my gripe is....isn't the earth supposed be all hot rock and lava and stuff inside???? I need to take my brain back to 5th grade science class 😆
  24. maybe??? also-could the original Q be someone not American? I saw a Yahoo article today that said like, a third of the Q and Q related propaganda stuff posted on FB was from accounts from China and Russia!!!!!
  25. I really liked Kong Skull Island as well-I much preferred it to the Gozilla Movies (I never even watched the last one they made-Godzilla King of the Monsters) but I remember Kong Skull Island made like, no money (translation no one went to see it), I think this already has made more money! And I think...this movie was already filmed before COVID? but don't quote me, I remember hearing about this movie for a while, I think it was one of those pushed back releases that happened in 2020.....I think they had planned for all these Godzilla/Kong movies....but I wonder if because Kong Skull Island did so poorly at the box office it is why they never gave Kong his own movie again??? LOL! actually i heard most people thought Brian Tyree Henry was solid...but I found him annoying as all get out....and the only show I ever liked MBB in is Stranger Things, but even on that show she is starting to annoy (her and mike!) Oh yes...she was terrible, Eiza Gonzalez???? I don't know know how much work she gets these days....but to me she appears to be all style, no substance at least in the acting department...I will always associate her as the L.Hemsworth rebound from Cyrus (1st breakup) Yeah, some of those scenes were a little cringe worthy to watch....even though you know it is fake LOL....and you could totally see it was moving towards, "in the end they will team up" angle.... I liked this a lot more than i thought i would....i was prepared to be here only for the CGI brawls....but i ended up quite liking it, bad dialogue/bad acting and all.....what got on my nerves, was....I thought they aged Kong up a little too much (aren't the Kaju [spelling?] supposed to live, like hundreds of years?) and i saw on one of HBO's behind the scenes clip things that Kong was supposed to be a "teenager" in skulls island...so, does he only live as long as a human? they aged him too much! and how did he end up in that containment/observation area???? and boy did that dome looked like something out of the hunger games meets Jurassic World!
