  1. On episode 3 and I am not at all into the character of Ani or her being the narrator, I just do not care. Why introduce a new character at this point, there are things that I want to know the outcome of that involve the characters that were already on the show not new ones. I don't care about Chloe either. Hard eyeroll on how they managed to make Zach be involved with all the girls on the show. He was somehow sleeping with (holy crap I forgot her name....guess that tells me something about how invested I was in her character... the one who killed herself). But he's been in love with Chloe this whole time. No sympathy for Bryce at all, no matter how many times they show him crying about how terrible his life is now. I think that is what makes me not like Ani, for someone who is supposed to be so smart shes very easily being fooled into thinking Bryce is some sort of victim. And yes add me to those that think its ridiculous that she just shows up at school and is questioning everyone about their life choices. If that was me I'd be all "slow your roll new girl, you just freaking got here!"
  2. Season 2 is now on Netflix. Its interesting because I find this and Workin Moms to be very similar, or at least have a bit of a similar premise, thought I find the characters on this show to be much more likable. One thing though that I wonder between watching both shows....what is it that Australia has against marriage?
  3. I enjoy this show even though I'm not a huge fan of any of the main 3 women, is that weird. I think I like the dad that joined to moms group more than any of the other characters on the show. Me too, it made me so sad. Then angry, hopefully there is a season 3 so that we can see the outcome.
  4. I wish I had commented on every episode thread but I never found the time. The show is done now and I left feeling so deflated. I know this is show about women in prison and it is supposed to be realistic but dayum.....is it depressing. I'm not trying to be naive but I guess I just do not want to believe that some of the stuff that happened on this show actually do, that the guards are that immoral, that the system is so f'ed up. I need to go watch some Disney cartoons or something for a while. From season 1 I have absolutely despised Piper and my feelings did not change. She was just the worst up until the very end. Her relationship with Alex was cringe worthy. And Alex....for all the talk about how Piper needed to be with her because she craved an exciting life....is such a boring wet blanket. Even the way she talks is lazy. Maybe those two deserve each other because they are so awful. Larry had her so pegged at the end. I actually have a sister just like Piper, she's always trying to tie herself to anything that will make her life seem more exciting. She's always doing stupid stuff to feel like she's cool and special, maybe that is why I can't stand Piper. Daya was such a disappointment. Poor Doggett, Lorna and Red. Their endings were heartbreaking. And poor Taystee, having to go thru so much, so glad she found a purpose and made a difference in women's lives. I'm glad Nicky was left with something to do, and took on Red's role. Suzanne was always a favorite of mine, I'm glad she had some growth, but continued to be quirky self. Throughout the series I lost all concept of time, as in how much time went by in the 7 seasons! I can't remember what half of the inmates did to end up in jail. What did Gloria do? Flaca? There were just too many characters to keep track. The farewell video at the end made me cry. I will miss this show despite it all.
  5. Saw it today. It is a beautiful movie in terms of visuals. CIG Technology has come a long way but not long enough to make animals talking and singing look anything but awkward. It was a bit jarring at times, most of the close ups of the animal faces were well done but other times it was just a this strange up and down motion....it felt like I was watching a movie that was dubbed. The best part of the movie were Timon and Pumbaa, those two characters seemed to be the only ones with personality but they did have the best lines and delivery. Kudos to Billy Eichner, that guy can make almost anything funny. Without these two characters this version would have been pretty grim. I'm in that minority of people that does not like Beyonce, I feel like any other actress could have played Nala and done just as good a job with it. I'll give her the singing....but her voice work is nothing special. Circle Of Life will forever give me chills though....this version was no different.
  6. Yep...take my money now. Me watching the trailer: This isn't legit until I hear.....Top Gun Anthem starts....chills!

    Cats (2019)

    Hard pass. I finally have a reason to use that saying and truly mean it.
  8. There were at least a couple of seconds where she was flying with the gauntlet in her hands, trying to get to the van. About the same amount of time or more that Tony was wrestling with Thanos and managed to get the stones off of it. My thought process was that she was powerful enough to wear the gauntlet on her own, the way that Bruce did. No need for Tony to pass anything along to her. And I think that it was pretty much established in her film that Carol is the kind of righteous, just person who would go above and beyond and do whatever it takes to save lives, including putting her life on the line for strangers. Maybe it never occurred to her to slip it on, since they already had the plan to send everyone back using the quantum tunnel but she is probably powerful enough that she would have survived the snap.....when there was no way Tony ever stood a chance. Again I agree, it being Tony was motivated by the numerous reasons already stated, it is just sad that he had to die for his story to get wrapped up.
  9. Besides, this was his last appearance. There's plenty of time for Carol to have epic moments in movies to come. Yeah.....I know, I know.....but it doesn't make it hurt any less.
  10. Rewatched this today because I am a glutton for punishment and like making myself cry over and over again. I'm sure someone has asked, but there's 35 pages of content at this point so I'll never find it....but why did they not make Carol put on the gauntlet and make the snap? She had plenty of time to do it. Based on the extent of her powers it would be safe to assume and be reasonable that it would not kill her. I guess that might cut some of the drama out of the battle but they could have gone with it being more difficult getting the gauntlet to her in order for her to make the snap. I love Iron Man (he's my favorite actually, his death is the 2nd biggest heartbreak I had while watching this) and I get he needed to have the big hero ending, but I would rather he had lived and taken a step back from Avengering. And what a big girl power moment that would have been. My biggest heartbreak was Black Widow. I'm still unhappy about it. To me Black Widow is one of the most amazing characters, she hangs with a bunch of guys....and most super powered guys in some way, and she holds her own. To me she has always been the ultimate embodiment of female power. It kills me that they had her die the way she did. I don't mind the Captain America ending....he can go off and live with Peggy if he wants to, he earned it. His exit should have been Natasha's return. He should have gone back in time and in his place Black Widow should have come back, she could have the shield and give it to Sam and pass along he message from Steve. Then cut to Steve dancing with Peggy and done.
  11. Jane, Rafael and Mateo are awful. Jane full on telling Michael that she would help him later because her family was falling apart....HOLY COW that was f'ed up! She seems to have forgotten that he was part of her family once and that no matter what she is going thru, he had his life literally wiped away and just regained his memories and is probably completely lost. She was being such a selfish jerk. Mateo is the worst, and there is no excuse for his behavior. Kids do react to stress and family problems in negative ways and there has to be some space for that, but lets not pretend that this is something isolated to just this situation for him. The kid has always been portrayed as a brat, this is just the way he typically reacts to things and it's a total reflection of Jane and Rafael's parenting. They cater to him and let him get away with everything, probably because they feel like they have to make up for all the drama that surrounds his life. Rafael is being immature and selfish as well, taking his frustration out on Jane like a petulant child. I completely disagree that he is active way better than most people in this case would. And why is he taking his anger out on Micheal, who has no fault AT ALL that this is happening. Michael pretty much has his whole line plan uprooted from the minute that Rafael's sister inseminated Rafael's sperm into his girlfriend. What did Rafael think would happen when he found out Michael was still alive. That Michael would just because he saw that Jane and Rafael had moved on that he would say oh good for you both see you, have a nice life? This show is so frustrating right now.
  12. Ugh that was a gut wrenching ending. How are we supposed to wait a whole week for the next episode. The only upside in this whole Micheal/Jason storyline for me has been watching Rafael squirm....boy do I dislike that guy! The whole twins things makes me dislike him even more, he completely neglects those girls to chase after Jane and Mateo. I think Petra would have had every right to be upset about it but of course they had to make it about Jane neglecting her. I totally knew River was going to use Rogelio's plight to create positive publicity for herself. It's no wonder Mateo and the twins don't get along, what a weird situation that must be for all three of them. The twins live in luxury, going to special schools, have nannies. Of course that is going to give both them and Mateo a complex, I can't even imagine what it would be like to grow up with a sibling that close in age but living apart from you in completely different circumstances. Either way, I hope Jane, Rafael and Petra are saving up some money, all three of those kids are going to need some serious therapy when they find out all the sordid details of their family history.
  13. I'm perturbed that a comment I made about myself would affect someone so much that they would be perturbed by it. I love Michael completely guilt free, and will forgive him almost anything.....almost being a key word though. I'm actually thrilled to be in the company of more Jane/Michael supporters, I think Instagram seems to lean more towards Jane/Rafael shippers....at least it appeared that way when Michael was killed off. I also don't think this would satisfy me (points to the word "almost" above). The minute Rafael found him and brought him back this plan would go from well intentioned to unnecessarily hurtful and I can't see it being something Jane would forgive or be able to come to terms with. Its possible though, they are going to have to wrap this storyline up somehow. I fully agree with the comment that the writers have written themselves into a corner, because no ending will be 100% satisfactory. Thats the problem with having a endgame plan from the start of the series and then having these love triangles be a central part of the story. When the series ends the writers will probably say they always intended so and so to be together so that is what happened. I'll share a really perturbing fact, though I'm a bit rusty on the rules so I'm not sure if I'm allowed to talk about other shows ships. During the early years of Grey's Anatomy (and keep in mind that show is so old now that I was much much younger), my whole life's happiness depended on Alex and Izzie being together forever. If you watch that show you probably know how that turned out. I have bad luck picking the ships I get invested in.
  14. I haven't even watched the episode yet, I'm considering waiting it out and getting spoiled so I'm not to disappointed. I will say my immediate reaction to the preview for the episode was not a positive one. I don't think that your ex-husband who was thought to be dead, was tortured until he forgot everything but is now aware that he is still married to you, walking in on you fooling around with your new boyfriend should be played for laughs. Of course I'm a total Micheal apologist (don't judge me! You can't always help what ships you are drawn to).
  15. As a viewer I feel a bit like Jane does, I suppose. I love the Jane/Michael relationship. I was so sad when they killed him, I grieved, then I stopped watching and moved on to other shows. I just had to see a promo online with the reveal from last season (darn Facebook) that drew me back. Now I feel like I have been set up for disappointment. I have always held out delusional hope that Jane and Rafael are not end game despite all evidence that they probably are. I just don't see how this will end well for Michael. He doesn't get his memories back and lives a lie for the rest of his life. Or he does get them back only to find out that by no fault of his own, the life he used to have was ripped away from him and he has to move on alone. Also I may be a heartless person, but I don't feel bad at all for Rafael. And honestly it is mostly because I have never been a fan of his or his relationship with Jane. Nothing about it has ever felt organic and has basically all been driven by the writing wanting them to be together because they share a child. Regardless of what happens, he will always be Jane's second choice in my eyes. Its totally a personal bias, I know, but that's how I feel.
  16. I think Catchy Song should get nominated for an Oscar....could you imagine that being preformed live with all those celebrities in the audience and if it won so many brains would explode it would be amazing. All of the songs were great though, even the song played during the credits was fantastic, when they read out the actors names they said something about how they had to work a whole 4 hours a day. This was sooo good. I have 3 kids and I know they didn't catch about half of the amazing jokes that were thrown out there. Best line of the movie though was the one about Marvel not calling them back. Edit to add that Maya Rudolph totally stole the movie at the end with the lego parts.....its no lie, stepping on a lego is straight up there with childbirth.
  17. Watched the trailer with my kids and my 4 year old actually asked "why is she punching a grandma?!," So yeah.....agree, terrible inclusion.
  18. Really liked this movie, lots of laugh out loud moments. Katherine Hahn was definitely my favorite by far, she was the best part of the movie. The message was really great, and I could relate to a lot of the stuff (being a mom of three). I went with a good friend and fellow mom and we were both in agreement that we really need to have a raging drunken party one of these days, that montage was just hilarious. I did have to roll my eyes at a lot of cliche things in the movie though.....the hot widower, bouncing back from a failed relationship immediately, double the salary (riggggghhttt....). Those moments kind of took me out of the fun for a bit, I think the movie was the most successful when it was just about the moms dealing with mom things. The credit scenes with all the real moms was incredibly touching, really loved that they included that. I started the movie laughing my butt off and left trying not to bawl my eyes out.
  19. Yay, me too, it's kind of lonely in here.... I slept on it a bit and I realize now that it's a Captain America movie so I should not have expected Iron Man to come out on top (though no one really did). I'm just tired of Iron Man being Marvel's scapegoat. Other than that the movie was really great. Loved seeing the ensemble. Even if having so many stars in one movie cuts on all the individual exposition, that's what makes these movies fun, seeing the group on one screen, watching them interact. Thor and Hulk were missed. Hopefully it won't be too long until a movie is made with the whole group again. For the first time ever, I think I finally fell in love with Spiderman. That kid was adorable. I'm actually looking forward to seeing his movie. Black Panther was great as well, kudos to the actor, there was something so regal and elegant about him, his speech and his fighting style were exactly I imagined T'Challa to be.
  20. I loved Louise's "you ordered a hit, you can't un-order it!" I am planning on using that line somehow in real life :) Also Gene's note, I think I'm going to leave a bunch of notes that say "Checkmate," around my office and see what people think about them. Agree with everyone that the couch was just so gross....can't believe they took it back at the end. I kept waiting for someone to come to their senses! I must be incredibly cold-hearted because I don't think I have ever gotten that attached to an inanimate object in my life, not a couch, or a car or anything. I will toss out anything if it means clearing some clutter or getting to get something new.
  21. I'm sorry, but Nick gets absolutely no sympathy from me. He killed a small child, with a freaking hammer. How did he even know that boy was the one who stole the bike, what if someone else stole it and gave it to him, or the mom bought it off the person who stole it. Listening to the mother's screams was absolutely heart breaking.
  22. I think its hilarious that Justin and Diana keep dominating legs of the race, at this rate it would be unfair if they did not win because they are literally leaving all of the other teams in the dust. Justin may be annoying but seriously, which of the remaining teams are not. If Justin and Diana continue to play the game intelligently and ultimately win, then all the power to them. I would have picked the mine challenge hands down! Having to ask strangers for money terrifies me. It was painful having to watch the teams do it, especially the cheerleaders failing miserably. The one cheerleader crying....that would be me.... I did think it was hilarious when the one lady asked Denise "How much do you need." And then when Denise said "100," she awkwardly replied, "uhhh well heres 20." Poland looked beautiful. I would have been ugly crying thru that who Schindler's Museum tour, things like that just totally hit me in the feels. Couple that with fatigue and stress and I don't know how these people are able to keep it together.
  23. Agree, but this is why I am having so much trouble with this Lancelot/Guinevere "affair" storyline. She seemed to be going back and forth between the Arthur and Lancelot alot in this episode. First she's saying she loves Arthur then she's all "I thought I lost you!" when Lancelot was trapped in the DO goo. Then she loves Arthur again and then she is having a little good bye moment with Lancelot. I just don't buy any of it. So confused on the timeline, was confused watching, am still confused....
  24. This is why I will never buy a home built before 2005. Tom Hiddleston was on The Graham Norton Show and he mentioned that there is a sex scene in the movie and that they decided to flip things around and have more male nudity than female nudity in it. So yeah....I'm definitely going to get caught sleep walking at work again.
  25. I've never found Matt Damon to be attractive really, he just doesn't do it for me. But, wow did I find him to be super sexy here. It's probably because he made Watney so extremely charismatic. I could seriously watch his crazy Mars antics for several more sols. One thing I was left questioning that I must have just missed...I know that he was growing potatoes until the malfunction occured that ruined his crops, but what did he do for water? Had he figured something out for that too? Or was he just rationing what he originally had. It seems like rationing food would be a lot easier than rationing water, especially to those low amounts he was consuming towards the end. I live relatively close to Pasadena and actually know a few people that work at JPL so it was cool seeing that in the move. The Hermes was really impressive....it even had an entire gym included. I can't imagine what the cost of building something like that would be.
