The movie Return to Me which is one of my favorites was directed by her. She’s always great in her acting roles too

I remember the lead guy in the movie I am Number 4 tanked his career by saying something stupid in an interview and getting a reputation for being difficult. I remember he was in the first Magic Mike and pointedly not asked to return for the second one.

When her movie career bombed and she asked to return to Grey’s Anatomy, I wasn’t surprised they told her no. It must have been humbling for her to try to get back on a show whose writing she disparaged only for them to say “Nope”.

I think her being perceived as a hypocrite for that was part of the issue. In the business side I think she renewed her contract with Grey’s Anatomy but then asked to be released so she could be home with her child then did a bunch of movies without taking time off.

I think the thing that really killed her career was that her movies tanked at the box office. She could have gotten past people being offended by what she said if she had a track record of being a box office money maker. In the end the people on the business side didn’t want to work with her because of what she said and low box office performance and audiences weren’t interested in watching her either. She did have multiple chances with movies and tv shows but never took off.

There was even a scene where CC mocked shows hiding actresses pregnancy specifically referencing using a huge purse and then CC exits carrying a huge purse . On How I Met Your Mother, Lily eating in a hot dog contest was used to reference her pregnancy belly. On Brooklyn 99 they created a storyline where Amy goes undercover as a pregnant inmate. I love when shows find funs ways to handle an actresses pregnancy.

This conversation is making me think of how the media and some fans assumed that when Coach returned to New Girl then Winston would have to leave as if there was some rule about how many black men were allowed. New Girl Cast Recalls Racist Questions About Winston & Coach

I’m halfway through All The Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr. The story interweaves the story of a blind French girl and a german orphan during WW 2. Marie Laure copes with the German occupation of Paris requiring her and her father to leave the only home she has ever known carrying an object that may be as dangerous as it is valuable. Werner’s technical skills give him the opportunity to escape poverty but his education with the Nazi troubles him.

If he wins the Oscar he’ll be the only person to have won pulitzer prize in addition to the EGOT right?

I’m extremely behind in my hallmark watching but I saw Corey Cott on Broadway in the show Bandstand. He’s fantastic. I like Hallmark adding Broadway talent to their casts and now am kinda hoping for a musical. It could be cheesy fun.

My theory as I started watching Scream 2022 was that one of the killers was going to be the son of Stu who was bitter that Billy is the killer who gets remembered with Stu as an afterthought. I was convinced that Tara not being able to remember Stu’s name in the opening sequence was going to be significant.

The movie Snow White: A Tale of Terror is an awesome take on the story staring Sigourney Weaver as the step mother. Ranking 9 versions of Snow White

Peter Dinklage says 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs' live-action remake is 'backwards'

I’m in the middle of A Night to Surrender by Tessa Dare. This is the first in the Spindle Cove series. I really enjoyed Dare’s Castles Ever After Series. Characters from the Spindle Cove show up at the end of that series which lead me to reading it now. A battle of the sexes begins in this historical romance. Spindle Cove is a town of predominantly women and things get disrupted when Bram the new Earl of Rycliff is charged with forming a militia in town. Susannah resents the changes the militia may bring and Bram sees Susannah as an obstacle to his making a success of the militia. They feel an intense attraction along the way.

I’m reading the nonfiction book Backwards and in Heels: The Past, Present, and Future of Women Working in Films. The book is an anthology style with each chapter a mini biography of a woman who had a significant role in the history of film. It’s an engaging read.

Wow he just makes it even worse. He isn’t self aware and willing to learn. Nothing is his fault.

I found a video about that

More stories about Family Vloggers. 8 Passengers punished their two youngest kids by not giving them Christmas gifts but only giving the older kids gifts. Making a public display of punishing your kids makes me uncomfortable. I’m not opposed to kids having consequences for poor behavior but monetizing it is messed up. I could imagine these kids getting made fun of at schools because of their parents filming things. I can’t imagine responding to my child’s bleeding and crying by putting a camera in their face. Some sort of regulation should be happening for these channels.

Patton Oswalt improvised a Stars/Marvel filibuster on Parks and Recreation. Boba Fett replicated one part and I think it’s on purpose.

I’m reading the romance All the Feels by Olivia Dade which is a sequel to Spoiler Alert. This book features Alex the co-star/best friend of Marcus from the previous book. Alex has gotten some negative media attention and has been assigned a handler former ER therapist Lauren. Alex resents being forced to have a babysitter but enjoys needling Lauren. Along the way sparks flare up between them.

There’s this great YouTube channel that makes documentaries about Broadway shows. He decided to make a faux documentary about Rogers the Musical . This was such a fun idea and it’s an awesome watch. The Greatest Musical Never Made: Rogers the Musical
