House of Gucci(2021) The turbulent marriage and divorce of Patrizia and Maurizio Gucci, the head of the Gucci fashion house, leads to murder. Release date: November 24, 2021 (USA) Director: Ridley Scott Starring: Lady Gaga; Adam Driver; Jared Leto; Jeremy Irons; Jack Huston; Reeve Carney; Salma Hayek; Al Pacino I only know about the scandal from SNL because it was Colin Quinn's best Weekend Update joke: "Patrizia Reggiani Martinelli, the ex-wife of Italian fashion heir Mauricio Gucci, was convicted of ordering her husband’s murder, and was sentenced to 29 years in prison. Most agree this is a tremendous price to pay for a Gucci knock-off."

Awesome episode! Knew we were heading into the dark "all seems lost" part of the season. I loved hearing the music from A New Hope and the early version of Stormtroopers. Seeing Gregor again was great.

Cute pic of Zooey and Emily Deschanel with their father cinematographer Caleb Deschanel on the set of THE RIGHT STUFF(1983). Their mom Mary Jo played Annie Glenn.

Isn't the point of a character arc is they start out a very flawed person who has to go through a journey to be better? Teela from the old cartoon was always kind of angry and she treated Adam poorly.

A lot of former athletes supporting and giving insights and that Simone did the right thing. If a person knows their limitations it doesn't make them weak or a quitter:

After seeing this pic of Ray with his real life wife and daughter I will no longer doubt the casting of someone who looks like Patricia Heaton as his wife nor a blonde girl for his daughter on the show again! It was so spot on!

I suddenly remembered the scariest movie I saw as a little kid was THE GHOST AND MR. CHICKEN(1966) starring Don Knotts! Knotts was hilarious of course but the whole haunted house and its backstory was scary to me.

Okay goofballs may have been more "Stripes" but it shows what a gateway horror movie the original was for a young generation that they don't even think of it as a comedy. Ghostbusters 2 was the filmmakers realizing how popular it was with kids and try to cater to that when it turns out what they really wanted was to amp up the horror.

I'm glad the reaction online is so positive compared to 2016 but it also puzzles me. Do fans not consider the original to be a comedy because that's how I remember it! People keep saying "There's going to be jokes in the movie, they just don't want to spoil it" Okay even if there are jokes they are really pushing this overall reverent tone where the original four are like gods which just seems bizarre when they were really goofballs way over their head. That's what was so fun about it! That said I did get a nostalgic lift seeing Janine.

I would say the best part of 3 and 4 is Christopher Reeve's comedic performance as Clark. He's hilarious.

Interesting thread.

I really want Echo to get his nickname.

Yeah S1 of TBB was all about the problems of a merged family. Starting from S2 onward it was regular family sitcom plots and you would never know they were stepsiblings if they didn't explain it in the opening theme song! I don't know if it was intentional or not but Cousin Oliver being blonde was a nice visual indicator he was from Carol's side of the family.

Together we Stand then after they killed off Elliot Gould(!) after just 6 episodes they retitled it "Nothing is Easy". I wonder why I never heard of it until I read it initially aired after Kate and Allie(which I never watched) and then aired opposite two shows I did, first Perfect Strangers and then The Charmings(remember that one?).

As I remarked before about Carol being so upset about Greg getting injured football, you'd think she carried him in her womb! Besides the final episode the other episode I remember Robert Reed not being in was where the kids think Alice snitched on them so they shun her and she quits and works at a diner. I like it because with Mike away Carol is the one who asks Alice who broke the lamp and she really gets into the "mistress of the house" "lady of the manor" mode demanding an answer which I found kind of hot. I didn't know Sherwood Shwartz tried redoing the "Kelly's Kids" idea in 1986 this time with Elliot Gould and Short Round/Data from The Goonies!

Also they missed an opportunity to have the guy who played Viktor Krum as one of the henchmen so he could join Cedric Diggory and Fleur Delaceur in the movie!

Yeah but she now has great practice playing a wife in an unhappy marriage when she portrays Princess Diana in season 5 of The Crown! I just watched the movie and was so confused. I'm probably going to watch some YouTube videos explaining it and then rewatch it.

I never bought the reason DC restarted their continuity with "Crisis of Infinite Earths" because there were too many Earths with different versions of the same character and it was too confusing for new readers. Just explain this Superman is from "Earth whatever". The real reason they did it was the original versions of their superheroes had become staid and boring in comparison to Marvel's line of characters and they wanted to revamp them to appeal to younger readers. Same reason they did the "New 52" a quarter of a century later. The history and continuity of the Marvel comics has gotten so convoluted especially the X-Men line but they never had to do a complete overhaul and rewrite.

Well as they say here it would have been a Twilight Zone type ending. I mean also what more story was to tell after Pandora opened the box?

Exactly. This Loki gets the chance the one who Thanos kill didn't get to have.
