And one of the greatest collaborations in music history:

I know a quote " Live not to eat, eat to live". I would prefer to change it to "Live not to work, work to live."

Okay, another movie: The Remains of the Day. What on Earth did Emma Thompson's character see in Anthony Hopkins'? That man had no personality, apart from being dedicated to his job, and was unable to form a single opinion for himself. I am torn between thinking that she was better off with the guy she married and feeling sorry for her because she apparently never got over what she felt for Anthony Hopkins, though I can't fathom why. I mean, the movie was still interesting, mostly for the atmosphere and the political subplot with the much more interesting characters. But my God, was the romantic storyline dull. (I hope I'm not offending anyone who loves the movie. I might be exaggerating a bit but this is the place for that, right?)

Exactly, plus don't we all know that making something banned just makes people more interested in it? There is that whole saying about forbidden fruit. I think I have already seen some people posting that their bookshops have displays of "banned books", or even some Banned books week event or something.

He's too young for me to find him attractive, but I think he was good in Call me by your name. And I like that girls now seem to go more for guys like he or Harry Styles who don't try so hard to be all macho. At least it destroys arguments of all those "What happened to manly men???" jerks.

Meh, I've read more explicit stuff in fanfiction. Bet they go after that next.

I almost didn't watch it due to the name, I thought it would be about actual killing of animals which I can't bear. Damn, those people are obsessed with written porn, aren't they? One might think they go to those meetings to listen to some new material, lol. The fact that the same people who are for banning abortions claiming that they just want more kids are also against helping women get pregnant is infuriating, but not surprising. Because it's not about children, it's about controlling women, full stop. Forcing women who don't want or can't afford to have children to give birth ad also keeping other women who DO want to have children from having them. It looks like they are not consistent, but they actually are, because the goals are cruelty to women and control of women.

I have only seen the last version with Lady Gaga and did not get why people were so obsessed with it.

Eh, how old is he supposed to be? Wikipedia says 16. That makes me quite uncomfortable to see that they try to make him some sort of sex symbol.

Well, good news then! (Especially for those of us who don't want to subscribe to Max just for this show.)

I don't know any of those people, but that's so wrong and disgusting.

Against my better judgement, I ended up seeing a couple of scenes from Troy as it was on TV. I am pretty sure that I did not care for any of the relationships back when I saw it in cinema in 2004 as a teenager and continued not to care as I've rewatched it over the years. But I don't think I realized before just how infuriating I find Achilles and how toxic it is that we were apparently supposed to like him and Briseis. Wow, yet another romance where a woman falls for a man because he saves her from rape and because he has so much decency that he doesn't rape her himself. Don't we all dream of such a man? 🤮 Nevermind that he is there to kill her family and everyone in her city. He treats her nice one time, so that is all it takes for her to get wet over him. She should have just slit his throat while he slept and run away, or if she can't bring herself to, then just run away and consider herself lucky. I know Brad Pitt was considered hot and while I never saw him as such, I could see that he was objectively good looking in some movies, but I've always found him completely unattractive here. I still don't care for any of the other couples either, but now I am kind of pissed over how everyone treated Helen, like it was her fault that her abusive husband started a war over her. Shut up everyone, please, she is free to leave that jerk if she wants, it is 100% his decision to kill people over that. Men have agency over their own actions, don't blame women for them, especially in times when they had it so much harder already.

I've never seen the animated series either. I keep hearing how good it was, so it's on my list, but I haven't gotten around to it yet, so I figured I would try this new version in the meantime. (Plus, I don't even know where I would watch the animated series, I most certainly do not have it on Netflix in Europe.) It seems a bit uneven so far, the world looks great, the powers are interesting and the actors are good, but I did not realize it was going to be aimed mostly at kids (completely my mistake, should have realized it), there was way too much exposition and repetition for me. Yet at the same time, the revelation that Aang was frozen for hundred years was sort of undersold. Was the animal (sky bison?) frozen as well? Or is normal for them to live that long, but why would it not try to get help all that time? I am also really, really tired of chosen one stories and endless debates about taking responsibility you didn't ask for vs. wanting to live a normal life, so I hope that is going to be kept to a minimum. I will give it a few more episodes, because it looks very good visually and I want to support fantasy with more diverse casting.

Help! I am being silenced and cancelled! Come to my concert tour to experience in person how much cancelled I am!

I see no indication so far that this should not be the case with Fantastic 4. I am not that knowledgeable about them, but I thought that the reason they were so popular is mainly the focus on the family and their dynamics being somewhat different than other, bigger teams. (And the lack of secret identities, but that is already what we are used to in the MCU, so it won't stand out.)

They are one of the very few ships that I am properly invested in, so this makes me happy. And I agree about the angst.

I only watched for David Tennant and I wasn't disappointed.

Their canon about souls was very inconsistent. Angel was a completely different person without a soul, but Spike didn't really change much.

Yes. Plus the useful advice I've learned here: "No is a complete answer." I love it so much. Whenever I forget myself and start to explain my reasons for not wanting something, it gets worse and those pushers try to dispute with me. It's better to offer no reasons and when asked, keep them as simple as possible.

I don't get people who don't look up info about movies they are going to see and then wonder if it is/isn't something.

This is my permanent peeve - people who can't take no for an answer. We talk about it when it comes to sex, but there are so many other instances, like pushing people to try some food, to drink, to do all sorts of activities, invite people they don't want for weddings, etc. I hate it, it's a complete lack of respect for other people. And if you reply in a more aggressive way after several polite attempts, they have the nerve to get offended.

Bring it on!

There is a portion of fans that is permanently dissatisfied with MCU no matter what they do, so that is not hard to achieve. But in this case, I don't think it's the way to go. FF already had a shot at movies at Fox, so it seems only fair that Marvel can try their own thing. I haven't seen that version, but I have heard many people saying that he was the only good thing about that movie.

The one show I would have liked to bingewatch was Rings of Power, since that felt like one story randomly cut into shorter segments, same as with LOTR movies. But that's the one they released weekly. 🤷‍♀️
