Fool to cry

"Squarest"? You couldn't tell from this video for "Miss You"! https://youtu.be/hic-dnps6MU

I love this 1972 performance. You can see Charlie smiling as the band really gets into the groove at 2:30:

I first heard about The Street Fighter starring Sonny Chiba on VH1' I Love the 70s. The late comedian Patrice O'Neal talking about it was so funny. "He was always so mad! Even talking to his girl!"

Edith has been compared to Jan Brady since the show started but like Jan on the TV show she got prettier than her older sister by the end IMO. She looked fantastic in the final season and movie. 1920s hair and style didn't suit Mary as much. She looked better in the pre war era.

Kesley Grammar as Frasier on CHEERS is the most positive outcome for an actor brought in to play a character meant as a temporary obstacle to a favorite couple being together. Becoming a cast member and getting a long running spinoff of their own as opposed to eternal hatred from fans!

Seeings a lot of reactions online expecting more from the season finale but I was on the edge of my seat wondering how they would survive and what would happen with Crosshair. The animation and production design was incredible. I love Tech's line to Crosshair "Understanding you doesn't mean I agree with you."

I think Baio being allowed to keep his late 70s haircut made Ron, Anson and Donny be like "Well if he gets to have his hair that way..." and they stopped being period accurate and let their hair grow out. Then from that point on everybody had contemporary late 70s and early 80s hair. Henry tweeted this cool trivia:

Yeah the actress not the character. Like Whedon actually had to fill the void Cordelia left on Buffy by bringing in Anya and then Spike as the characters who who brings the reality check in situations. It's why Spike was brought over to Angel.

Yeah its crazy that the character of Mike was created only because Bob Odenkirk was busy doing a guest appearance on How I Met Your Mother! A lot of fans think if their favorite character go through a lot of pain and are never allowed to be happy it must mean the writers "hate" that character. The truth is if writers don't like a character they just don't bother writing them! People behind a show knows if audiences like a character that means they get more emotionally invested when bad stuff happens to them. Viewers don't admit it, they would be bored by "happily after after". Star Trek Deep Space Nine had this thing where every season they would write an "O'Brien must suffer" episode where Chief engineer O'Brien would go through this horrible experience. Like one time an alien planet wrongly accused of being a spy so he was punished by having 20 years of memories of being in a prison cell implanted in his mind! The writers didn't do this because they hated the character but because he was the "everyman" of the show. The one an average viewer would identify with the most.

It's funny that you hear complaints how men should show more affection towards each other and hugging doesn't mean your gay but if two male characters have a close bond fangirls especially will immediately be "Oh my god they're really in love!" I think because straight men are always trying to get in their pants that women can't imagine men could have an intimate connection that isn't romantic.

It now seems Black Widow premiered at the right moment when everything started opening up again due to the dropping cases and the vaccine but before the Delta variant caused the most recent surge.

So I predict they're going to make Charles sympathetic again in season 5. The person who made the right call and insisted to take the Royal jet to Paris and that his ex-wife's body be brought home in a coffin draped by the Royal standard against the Queen's wishes is not that same villainous character we saw in season 4.

I remember it. It was shocking how much she looked like her with just a wig! He did all the sad expressions. I don't know how they came up with him impersonating her. I guess after her death it wasnt shown as much. They make Charles' secretary Edward Aldeane look like an weasely asshole toady but he had resigned in 1985 years before the episode took place. I like the Queen doing an impression of Thatcher.

Agreed.

Recently re-watched The Night Manager miniseries which Olivia Colman starred in. I hadn't seen in years so I forgot Tobias Menses was also in it. Weird now to see them together not looking or speaking like Elizabeth and Phillip and being adversaries!

First Mac, now Christine? Cancer sucks. After Night Court she starred in Hearts Afire with John Ritter and then I saw her as Cameron Diaz' mom in There's Something About Mary.

RIP Tipoca City.

My beef is the only time fans acknowledge writers exist is when characters do something they don't like. Writers get little credit when characters do or say something fans they do because fans want to believe characters have a life of their own. Re: Fans and authors regarding anything new: Fans want the same thing but done differently while authors want to do different things the same way. Fans get tired of an author's style while an author gets tired of writing the same characters.

It bugs me when fans find excuses to hate an actor because they can't admit they aren't able to separate them from the character they play that they hate. I think it's because they know deep down devoting so much energy hating a fictional character is irrational. Also when they rant how if the character were played by a "better" actor they'd like them even though everything they hate about said character is due to the writing. On the flip side fans of a characters ignore anything problematic of whoever plays them. Also when favorite characters do or say anything cool fans act like the characters or actors did it on their own. However when their favorite characters do or say anything fans don't like it's "because of bad writing".

I have all those books. As a fan they were invaluable. RIP.

Thinking about the price paid that a Nazi sympathizer didn't remain on the throne was the happiness of his brother and his children and their children and their children and all future generations. Not too big a price if you consider the alternative but it has put the institution on less than firm ground.
