Trying again. Episode 1: •••••••••• This person below also posts full episodes. But they are taken down fast! Episode 4:

Moriarty is THE Arch-Villain, period.

I sure hope your post is sarcastic because no, "A Complete Unknown" is not "supposed to be a comedy." I'm not sure what Timothée hoped to convey with his monologue, because his award losses must hurt.

MAFS-AUS SEASON 25 is starting tonight on UK telly. Here is the cast. No spoilers. https://9now.nine.com.au/married-at-first-sight/2025-cast-brides-grooms-bios-in-pictures-s12/4dab51ab-6768-4bbc-a9e4-eece7e3fc961 I'm predicting no love match with Billy, Jake, or Tim, and iffy with Tony the Macedonian.

Ha! My initial impression that Shinwell was hinky was spot-on!

Apparently I pegged Shinwell as the real Moriarty, but that was before I learned he was Shinwell. So I hope he's A-OK. Two too many characters on the team. I mean, the best detectives have only one! 😉 Maybe the young curmudgeon can go.

Sure, David looked good in blue; who doesn’t?! I was hoping for different colors maybe in the red/purple/burgundy family.

Yes, I see your point about my post. I don't know what the heck I meant now! I think it was a "Get off my lawn!" moment! I know I watched "Oppenheimer" and knew Cillian would win the Oscar! Just goes to show how much opinions can differ on the same thing. I LOATHED Seth Rogen's puerile vulgarity and thought he and Melissa McCarthy's dress were the evening's low-lights!

I didn't say those other movies had no Intermission. I can't think of any "much more common nowadays" "3 hr+ films" without. Do you have an example?

"The Brutalist" has an Intermission. People used to have no problem in sitting through a long movie: "Cleopatra"; "Lawrence of Arabia"; "Dr. Zhivago"; "Gandhi." All over 3 hours.

Likewise, plus "A Complete Unknown." "The Brutalist" is playing 1 1/2 hours from me!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! https://www.chattr.com.au/mafs-2025/ JANUARY 27!

Needed more Melissa McCarthy! Otherwise, an excellent show! P.S. Gallows Humor. Not just for breakfast anymore.

Juan has dead eyes with Karla.

The same with Madison regarding Allen's looks! And if I might digress: That was the issue with several husbands about their wives on the latest MAFS: UK. These applicants might all talk a good game about "personality" or "character" or "loves their mother," but honesty is proverbially the best policy, and the "experts" need to get real.

Many things and situations were different for women last century. Not able to independently own a bank account, a credit card, and so on. But David is not a woman. Nor is he right out of college. And it's 2024. I think he sees his MAFS marriage as a second income, the faster to "buy a house whenever he wants."

Yes, 'tis true that MAFS is not how relationships usually develop in real life. Nobody is in the dark about this. Thus, the applicants obviously want one or more eventualities: lasting love after the ceremony; an improved financial situation; fame; a career in the Reality TV Universe; just an over-all betterment of their life. The faint-hearted, the logical, and the lucky need not apply.

Like the Spanish Inquisition, nobody expects to get a Mom's-basement-dweller, never mind an unkempt one who smirks that his bed is "the couch." Wink, wink, nudge, nudge. His living situation is why he is single. Michelle's request to have a husband on her literal level (above-ground, haha) is reasonable, normal, and fair. If the judges thought she was disingenuous and actually avaricious, they didn't have to make themselves look stupid by assigning her David as a "gotcha." (Calling that "trolling" is acknowledging he was a very bad option.) I'd have noped right outta the show. Let me know when he's "saved" enough.

Camille wants Urban 🌆; Tom is Suburban 🏡. Clubbing 🎶 vs. Grilling 🍔. Swag 🕶 vs. Stability 👔. Homie 🤴 vs. Homebody 👨‍🍼. I think she might want her vision of "exciting." They too often forget what led them to this show.....

Juan is STILL saying he's so busy he forgets about Karla! WTH, JUAN?! Does he not even see the cameras?! Some people don't look good in togas.

No thread for new episode?

Earth to Cheryl B.: This isn't "Strictly Ballroom." DWTS is amateurs paired with pros. Get over yourself.

It's a television show. Entertainment. For a silly-arse "trophy," not even money for charity. The producers can define "Stars" anyway they want. They can have dancers, the viewing audience, or whoever else they want to judge and vote. They can call the show "Dancing With the Kumquats," if they want. IMO, the "pro" judges are there to put the dances into some context of value and accomplishment both to encourage the participants and to somewhat educate the public. Can they misjudge? Of course. Dancing isn't a timed event, not an end-zone sport, not, that is, an objectively-scored endeavor. Can they comment to affect and influence the public? Can and have done. Ratings, not location, are top priority in television. But if the dancing were to be judged as seriously as some might prefer, we would have the judges or an announcer explain, describe, and/or point out in real time the "level of difficulty" and "points values" involved, as in Olympic diving or...gymnastics, where Team USA took Men's Gymnastics Bronze based on the above. Having said all this, I admit to still thinking the Voting Public was beyond unfair when they awarded the Glitter Ball Trophy to Emmett instead of Mario. THAT was a DWTS travesty!

CNN is showing episodes NOW!

Uhhhhh...."White" Stephen and Rylee got a perfect 30 for their Freestyle, and ended up in 4th (technically you're correct: it's not 3rd). One man's "not entertained by" is another man's "highly entertained by." And one man's "one for the history books" might be, I say might, another man's "not entertained by." Finally, dancing has never been considered a part of "appropriating" another "culture." Should Argentinians be the only ones "allowed" to perform the AT? Viennese the VW? Spaniards the Paso Doble? Such a concept would pretty much limit ALL DWTS competitors, not to put too fine a point on it. So, you were saying?
