I made a new Oliver/Felicity video.

I'd love to see an American take on In The Flesh a British show about zombies who have been cured if they take their medication reintergrating into society. It was a great show that ened too soon.

I would watch the hell out of that.

Gwen on Torchwood needs to be killed off. Everyone on that show has either been killed off or suffered tremedously but she always survives and never has to sacrifice anything.

So I may not be able to continue making arrow videos with new clips because the mozilla add on I was using (1-click youtube video download) was screwing with my computer and had to be removed. I wanted to warn the rest of you in case you were using are going to use mozilla add ons.

I agree. The fic calls Gwen on her flaws while still being sympathetic to her.

Five Days Forward - When Gwen falls backward in time, it's up to Ianto to protect the timeline.

Whit Stillman is adapting Lady Susan into a film titled Love and Friendship.

The ending of Hot Saturday (1932) which is a movie starring Cary Grant and Nancy Carroll has an awesome Hell Yeah moment at the end which is only possible because it's pre-code. Basically there's a false rumor that Carroll slept with Grant which lead her to get fired, her parents to turn on her, and her friends treat her like a pariah. An old crush proposes to her before he hears the rumor and then when he finds out refuses to listen to her side of the situation about why she didn't tell him about the rumor before agreeing to marrying him. So, she decides that if she's being punished she should at least be guilty and decides to spend the night with Grant. The next morning the ex-fiance shows up and her parents are stalling because she never came home. When Carroll comes in her mother tries to convince her to sneak upstairs to put a night gown on to make it look like she's been home. Here's the Hell Yeah part: She marches into the kitchen still wearing her party gown from the night before to tell off her ex. She tells him everything he accused her of the night before was a lie but now has come true. Then, she packs her bags and runs away with Grant who asks her to marry him. So we have a classic black and white film where the heroine has premarital sex and gets a happy ending. If it had been made just 3 years later, the production code would probably have either had her not have sex with Grant or have something horrible happen to her for sleeping with him.

Baby in Dirty Dancing not immediately telling her father who the father of Penny's baby was. The second she realized that Johnny was misunderstood to be the father she should have corrected her dad.

I thought that they should have ended it with them getting art back and having a little victory only to discover that another program they like ended up getting cut to pay for art. I think that would have been a original ending that showed the kids that solutions aren't as simple as they think.

I made a new Oliver and Felicity video.

Since I finished the book, I finally watched the movie World War Z and am completely confused. I don't know why they call the movie World War Z or claim it's based on the book because the movie has very little to do with the novel. They pretty much only have zombies in common and that's it. Everything unique about the novel was stripped away to make a generic zombie movie. Why buy the rights to a novel and completely ignore it? They easily could have made the movie without buying the rights to the novel because they have so little in common. This is not a case of a movie changing a few things from the book but of a film that drops pretty much every single story line from the novel and adds new ones. I realize the interview format of the book is tricky to adapt, but it could have been done using a faux documentary format. Even if they didn't want that type of format, they could have shaped it into a global ensemble story that would have handled zombies in ways that no other movie has. The political and moral issues from the book were ignored. There were so many interesting characters and compelling stories that were discarded so that one bland character can be the focus. How the situation is resolved in the movie and the book are completely different to the point where they have nothing to do with each other. The movie itself I found kind of boring. It lacked a certain spark.

I thought the father threatening to sue for custody of his daughter and young son over it was overreacting. Having two teens date while living under the same roof is problematic, but it really sucked that Dermot felt pressured to leave. The teens were more mature about the situation than the adults. Does anyone remember For The Very First Time a movie about a Jewish boy and Catholic girl in the 1950s who fall in love but have to keep it a secret from their disapproving families? I loved it but was frustrated by the ending. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gx0ARPA2lgg

I vividly remember Sin of Innocence starring Dermot Mulroney and Megan Follows as step siblings who fall in love. I loved The Last Prostitute staring Sonia Braga and Wil Wheaton and wish I could find it on dvd about two friends who seek out a prostitute with a big reputation only to find she's retired. They end up working for her on her horse ranch secretly hoping to convince her to sleep with one of them. One friend only sees her as a sex object and gets bitter as the summer progresses while Wil Wheaton starts to see her as a person and befriends her. That friendship was really nice to watch develop. There were a bunch of Danielle Steel tv movies and miniseries on NBC. My favorite tv movie was Heartbeat staring Polly Draper and John Ritter about a pregnant woman who falls in love with a neighbor after her husband abandons her. Can we include miniseries in this thread or should there be a separate thread for that? edited to add: There's a great tv movie that is full of tons of teen tv starts of the time called Dance Til Dawn centered around various characters on prom night. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqMyS65_l-A

I'm more excited about the casting for The Wiz than I was for the previous live productions. I really think NBC is making great choices this time.

Everything Oliver & Felicity

The end of Damels In Distress has a lovely dance sequence done like a classic movie.

I loved the Disney one.

Seriously?! I like the idea of a modern adaptation of Little Women but in a post-apocalyptic world? Why not just do a more straightforward adaption? Sisters growing up with their mother while their father is away at war could be easily modernized without adding unnecessary b.s.

Teachercenter was fantastic.

Here's my new Oliver & Felicity Video

You're awesome. That's what I was looking for.
