  1. Mrs Winterbourne is great, have you seen Blast From the Past? My love for Brendan Fraser is unapologetic lol. Those are peak Brendan hotness. I recently watched Always Be My Maybe, I thought it was very cute and honest. Watched Stardust last week and I really enjoyed it. I didn't realize it was such an epic romance. My favorite hallmarks are: Remember Sunday, Loving Leah, How To Fall In Love. I tend to like the unconventional ones.
  2. I didn't like the second one as much because Lara Jean was too in her head and not communicating with Peter. I never once thought that she was going to pick John Ambrose, not really. A lot if the time greener grass is just that. I think people also underestimate how invested Peter is in his relationship with Lara Jean.
  3. I loved it. Just as good as the first, loads better than the second. I feel like we got to see so much more of Peter and Lara Jean as a couple here and they are so stupid cute together. Perfect ending.
  4. Amazing episode as always. I love that with the weekly decade changes it's like watching a new show every week. I think last week was late 80's early 90s. This week was def the 2000s, I thought the opening credits were spot on. The commercial also, I thought I had time traveled back in time, it was so on point. It def got dark really fast tho. Definitely feeling the tension between Wanda and Vision. I thought it was interesting that he didn't know the truth about himself. I never got that vibe before this episode. He has no outside knowledge of any kind. He is a construct of Wanda's at this point tho. He has some autonomy but him being in the dark is in line with Wanda wanting to ignore the fact that he's really dead in real life. I still don't think that Wanda created this situation intentionally or otherwise. I think she truthfully has no memory of it. She's definitely controlling it but I don't think she would keep doing so if it wasn't constructed in such a way that she felt like she had to play along. She would be lost and aline again. No Vision, no family. Hayworth seems to be angry with powered people which is prob sadly a common pov if you survived the snap. He's also kind of stupid though. Wanda spared him in the last episode and he learned absolutely nothing from the experience. I still think that this is Pietro from X-men but semi merged with Wanda's Pietro. I think there are limits to to what Wanda can change. Hence why Pietro is the other Pietro. She doesn't have Pietro's body. I think Pietro was brought back to Wanda to keep her in line when Vision starting unraveling things in the last episode. There are clearly limits to what Wanda can control, this is why the people on the outskirts of town are barely functioning. I don't know how Wanda is going to control all the of the newly assimilated area. I really wish that Hayworth had been assimilated, he deserves it.
  5. I couldn't get past the first episode. I hate Bloom. She's so stupid. It's your first day at a magic school. You make no effort to learn anything, you're rude, arrogant and impatient from jump. I didn't understand her relationship with her mom. They were talking to each other very stiltedly like they were strangers. And the insults were so over the top. Who yells at their child for not going out to socialize? She talks to her mom like she's a stepmom. It didn't make any sense. You're in a new environment but you decide to go out beyond the barrier of the school to the forest to practice your fire magic, the worst place for it and you now know that magic is controlled by emotions and you have zero control over yours. What did you think was going to happen? I'm so disappointed. It doesn't seem like Bloom gets any better either so I think I'm out.
  6. She was a child in Captain Marvel so there's really no need to watch it again. I will admit that one is not one of my favorites. I think if you wanted to see more of Maria you could revisit but their parts are small. Yea I agree that the residents of tv Westview seem to be people who lived there. It seemed like they became a part of the program because they were already there. That doesn't mean that some of them can't be implants from who is pulling the strings. I'm not sure how fun this show is for people who aren't invested in the movies. The little stuff like Woo returning or Darcy showing up won't really mean anything. To each their own. I do think the show is strong enough to be interesting enough on its own.
  7. I thought this episode was great. Loved the beginning with the real world and the reveal of who Geraldine really was. Very cool. The one thing I absolutely love about Marvel is how tightly woven and connected it is throughout. Woo finally learning that close up magic is a nice callback to Ant-Man 2 and Monica bring Maria Rambeau's daughter is also fantastic. I knew all along that this was Wanda's doing. She seemed unaware of all of the implications of it though. I think she had totally blocked out Vision actually being dead until this episode. It's prob easier that way. She was also visibly surprised by what she did to Geraldine. Now whether she is pulling the strings is another story. We saw Wanda after the battle at the funeral and she was sad but not delusional. And I don't consider her a baddie. Misguided perhaps but she's not intentionally hurting anyone and she didn't kill Monica she just kicked her out of the simulation. My guess is that her powers are being used by something or someone and this show is a nice distraction for her to keep her happy and compliant.
  8. I hate Steve and Peggy's ending in Endgame. It's awful. Doesn't do anyone any justice at all. Peggy had a whole ass life without Steve Rogers, career, husband, kids, grandkids. So for Steve to take it upon himself to go back and try to reinsert himself where he does not belong was too much for me. It was garbage. It erased everything that Steve had learned in the last ten years. Any growth he experienced as a person was immediately washed away. Were the writers trying to tell me that Peggy was the only person he cared about after everything that happened? What about Bucky and Sam? The avengers? The world? The Steve Rogers that fought so hard to save Bucky in Civil War was not the same guy who left him on the platform with barely any acknowledgement. Let's pretend that we go with the absurd fan theory that he was always meant to be Peggy's husband. Am I also supposed to believe that he just let things unfold like they did before? He just left Bucky for Hydra and let Hydra grow inside shield for 70 years? Did no one think if the implications of Steve going back in time to fix something that wasn't his to fix? Not one woman in the writers room was like no that's terrible? Peggy gets no say. Ugh it makes me so angry. I legit pretend that the movie ended after the funeral and I will continue to imagine that. I refuse to acknowledge the misogynist ending that they gave us.
  9. Spartan Girl, you are speaking my language. That movie was not at all what I was thought it was going to be, I was mad disappointed with Harper. She was horrible. She knowingly let that girl come to Christmas knowing that they didn't know she was gay let alone dating and living with a woman. Not to mention she made her sound like a homeless orphan. Why couldn't she just say that she was a friend who didn't have a family to spend Christmas with? She left her alone, she made her feel abandoned and she just kept doing it. I couldn't believe that this movie expected me to be happy that they stayed together. Abby deserved Aubrey Plaza damn it. Awful movie. Right up there with the Family Stone.
  10. The funny thing is rewatching episodes and listening to the soundtrack has made me come around on Caleb. I'm kind of disinterested in villains as a rule but at least he's a fun one. I do wonder why he's so invested in the boys and now subsequently Julie? He's been around for a long time so I would imagine he does lose every once in awhile. I also wonder at how special the boys appearing to lifers is. Seems top tier. I wonder if they can harness it like Caleb does? For good of course. The youtube love has definitely validated being in my 30s and loving this show. It's just nice, you know? I feel like shows about good characters is that aren't super cheesy are hard to come by these days.
  11. I really enjoyed Julie and the Phantoms. Def got some High School Musical vibes but I think that's just Kenny Ortega's touch shining through. I was surprised to see Booboo Stewart here as Willie, I hope that maybe he too can be freed from his contract, maybe if he falls in love with Alex? I'm assuming that's what broke the curse on the boys, Julie's love for them? I also wondered if she could somehow put a stamp on them as well since they were linked to her from the start. I did wonder why the showed Rosa in the first episode, I loved how that came back around full circle. Not really looking forward to more Caleb. I really feel like the show is interesting enough without a villain but I digress.
  12. While I will admit that this is a stellar episode, what's the point? Barry looks fine during the crisis episodes so clearly this possession story is not gonna last very long. I do appreciate that Barry got to voice some of the unfairness of being the Flash that he feels deep down inside. I too am disappointed with the writing this season. I think the problem I have with the new showrunner and the old one is that they don't write these characters as real, connected people. They all act like work friends. Iris and Barry still have very little pda or interaction with each other. Also shut up Allegra. We just met you, why do you think you should be entitled to any secrets so soon? We barely know Kamila at this point and she's been shoved down our throats for awhile now. I hate that the flash is always telling and not showing relationships. It's such an inefficient way of storytelling.
  13. I too forgot Harry existed. I actually don't mind the character I just think he's often poorly used. I think a lot of that had to do with the old showrunner though. Everyone is being used equally and properly this season. Except for Caitlin. Why are they insisting on this Killer Frost nonsense? What is the point? Does anyone care if she exists? Or if she has a life? It just feels like time better used elsewhere. Same with the new big bad. I feel like he's in a totally different episode when they cut to him. Loved Barry and Iris being a team. Joe giving Barry a much needed pep talk. I too wish that he had seemed a bit more interested in Barry's actual problem though. I love Joe as Captain but I miss Captain Singh. I too peeped that Cisco was back to being Vibe in Barry's vision. Im hoping that maybe the cure doesn't work as well as they hoped. Kamilla's fine I guess. I still feel like we just met her and all of a sudden she's everywhere. I don't see anything special about her or her relationship with Cisco. Not like I did when he was with Gypsy.
  14. Good premiere. I'm still upset with last seasons decision to depower Cisco but I do feel like he is more present this season which was seriously lacking before. I just don't understand why they couldn't just have him decide to stop using his powers? Taking the serum is too permanent for someone who loved having them and who's power was really useful but alas. So happy we are getting more group activities outside of Star Labs. I thought the meta was really cool and interesting. Hope we see more of him. Really excited to see Barry and Iris have real conversations. I thought Iris describing wanting to the black hole to suck her up as well when it took Nora's jacket to be really well done. I hope we drove more into Barry's feelings about Nora as the season goes. He's being a bit of a stepford smiler lately. I genuinely just can't with the Caitlin/Killer frost stuff. Please just make her merge with herself so we can be done with this split personality stuff. And Mohinder is on the flash now lol. The was literally nothing different about this character. Like at all.
  15. I really think that each season builds up so awesomely that when it inevitably resets we're all a little lost and reluctant to dive back into the show wholeheartedly. That's been my experience at least. I skipped two episodes after the premiere because I wasn't "feeling" it. Glad I came to my senses. I really love this show. Some interesting theories here. I don't think it's weird that Chidi is more relaxed than he was in season one. He still experienced everything that happened in the last three seasons, he just doesn't remember it. If Eleanor lost her memory tomorrow she wouldn't revert back to season one Eleanor, that's kind of the point. I think Janet was upset that she had to break up with Jason and was trying to resolve it through Tahani. Good on Tahani for showing so much growth and insight into her own psyche. I'm excited to see her befriend John. I never felt like she ever had her own person so to speak. Eleanor broke my heart when she started crying. It can't be easy seeing Chidi be with someone else and also be really at ease and happy about it knowing that you facilitated it.
  16. Hmmm. I don't enjoy Civil War because everyone acts ooc. Neither Tony or Steve would do or say the things they did in that movie based on what we know about them from other films. The whole point of that movie is so we could have that big cinematic clash at the end and it shows. The buildup is sloppy and Tony being incapable of coherent thought surrounding what Bucky did while he was brainwashed is poorly executed. And Steve, Spartan Girl, you nailed every issue I have with Steve's "happy ending" in Endgame. Steve would never choose to abandon Bucky, the avengers, and his responsibility to go play house with Peggy knowing full well that she lived a happy, full life without him. Knowing that Bucky was being tortured by Hydra, knowing that Shield was really Hydra. They ruined his character, I would have preferred that he had died in the fight than what we were given. I too have to pretend that the last ten minutes of Endgame were a fever dream. Thank God for fanfiction.
  17. I would say the same about Peggy. In regards to Steve their interactions while sweet have been understandably minimal. No one is saying that Peggy isn't important to Steve, I just don't know that she should still be so important when we get to Steve in endgame. He regressed so much in that movie in my eyes and that had very little to do with what he did at the end of the movie. I feel like so much of Peggy's agency is lost in the minutia of Steve deciding to change their past. I never once thought that Bucky and Steve were going to have an epic romance on screen. I doubt anyone does. I did think that we would get at least one proper scene of them reuniting. In a movie full of time travel, there was no time for that? Steve has what I consider to be three vital relationships, Bucky, Peggy, and Sam. Endgame managed to venerate two out of three. For me as a goodbye to Captain America Endgame failed to carry through the stories and relationships told in the other Captain America movies. As a goodbye to Tony Stark, it was perfect. I couldn't ask for a better ending for Tony and I'll always love Endgame for that at least.
  18. I completely agree. I just feel like they give him too much attention. Nothing he has revealed has been interesting or profound. Aliens are coming to earth to destroy it? So it's Tuesday then? Is he up to date on Earth? Just imagine how dumb he would sound if they were a part of the snap timeline. I do find it interesting that biologically he has the same dna as Coulson. I really just thought it was a skin he picked. I wonder where they will go with that.
  19. I'm so over Sarge. He's like quippy, mysterious Coulson on crack. Just tell us what we need to know to save the planet. We have been through probably worse things. The shrike just aren't that scary tbh. Was everyone on that quinjet braindead? Why would you ever put two potentially murderous species in a room together? When weird stuff started happening, why would you let them continue to stay in the same room? You didn't need Sarge to tell you how to fix that situation. It's common sense. I'm glad FitzSimmons are finally coming back home. I'm really gonna miss Enoch, I was hoping that Fitz would offer him a home on Earth, alas. Also can the Deke/Daisy crush thing die? It's so awkward and time wasting.
  20. That scene almost took me completely out of the movie lol. I couldn't believe that she would do such a thing and just expect Jane to be ok with that. That's something that can never be replaced.
  21. Its's actually really expensive to buy here as well. Not sure why that is considering how old it is
  22. I must be a huge Brendan Fraser stan because I love both Blast From the Past and Mrs Winterbourne lol
  23. I agree lol. Anna Faris blew through marvel before it was even a thing 😉 I watched Sliding Doors the other night after watching the Mummy. Needed more John Hannah. Wish he had done more romance. Also The Mummy is a great romantic comedy under all the action. Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz have amazing chemistry 😍
  24. I mean its about as old as I am. Not sure if that dates you or not lol. Yeah. I've seen a lot if not most of Chris Evans' non superhero work and the two romances I remember were pretty bad. I would recommend What's Your Number? if you've never seen it. I like his nonromantic roles far better. Gifted is a good one.
  25. I never really understood the Notting Hill love but maybe I need to really watch it again. I love The Truth About Cats and Dogs. I was thinking of trying to find another older one, Til There Was You. I used to love that one when I was younger. They never play it on tv anymore.
