  1. I would have been very happy with a double elimination. Zoey hasn't been doing well for a while and Rochelle has had some bad bakes. Steven looks like the front runner at this point.
  2. I refused to click on the link because People gives so much free publicity to these guys, but apparently North West is putting out an album??? Say it ain't so!
  3. I can't believe there was even a discussion about who would go home. I would have been embarrassed to serve that mess of a cake, and I am not on a baking show! There are too many people so I don't know who I'm rooting for yet.
  4. Casting Christopher Walken as the Emperor was a mistake. I swear, he sounded like a bad impersonator! He has a distinctive cadence, but he needs to be able to tone it down when he's acting. I was impressed with Chalamet's transition from the teenage Paul in Dune I to someone who actually felt like a leader by the end of Dune II. I read the first two Dune books about 45 years ago (argh! is that even possible???) so I don't remember the details. I've been able to enjoy the films without worrying about differences from the book.

    I was dubious about Elemental, but I ended up liking it. I'm not a fan of Red Panda. The mother is so horrible I can't find her funny. And I never saw Wish.
  6. The trailer looks good. I'm very curious how Costner addresses the competing narratives of white settlers bravely pushing West and the indigenous peoples they're displacing.

    That list of upcoming films made me sad. Not an original in the bunch. Are we doomed to sequels and live action re-makes for all time? I want to see originals! How are we going to get the next Frozen, or Inside Out, if all the talent and attention is on retreads?
  8. Argh! The women keep falling in the pairs free skate! It's aggravating that it's always the women. Should they keep jumps to doubles? Just physically, the men are going to have an advantage on the jumping. So quit pushing triples that the female skaters can't do. To me, so much of pairs skating is the interaction between the skaters ,the lifts, and throws. So expecting difficult individual jumps as well seems like overkill.
  9. I know it's futile, but I sure wish Johnny and Tara would take a breather now and again and let us hear the music! They talk incessantly. Watching figure skating is more than counting the points, it's seeing how the skater interprets the music. And when you can't hear it, the performance loses a lot of emotional impact. Luckily the judges don't have to hear it. I just wish I didn't either!

    I, Tonya (2017)

    I can feel sorry for the Tonya that was ridiculed by her mother and beat up by her husband but still believe she bears some responsibility for the attack on Nancy Kerrigan. Unlike Sarah Marshall, I don't think calling to find out where Nancy was practicing and what hotel room she was staying in is all that innocent. Why on earth would Tonya have a bet with her ex-husband about where Nancy Kerrigan was practicing? That doesn't sound plausible to me. Maybe she didn't know exactly what they were planning to do, but I believe she knew some kind of attack was being planned. Obviously, I don't know these people and I'll never know for sure who knew what, when. I just find it difficult to think about a young athlete being attacked and traumatized by a group of men who absolutely meant to do grave harm to her. I admire Nancy for not only competing but getting out of bed after the attack! I would have been terrified.
  11. I'm not an Ashley fan, but her cake looked absolutely fantastic! Her decorating was spot on. I can't believe Justine just ignored the whole center of her display! And Kevin's decorating was abysmal. Thou's painting technique was fine. I would have liked more than one technique in her decorating. I get more and more disgusted with the winner only getting $25K. The contestants talking about opening a brick & mortar store or a catering van must realize how little $25K would actually do for them. Kevin's trip to Hawaii was pretty much the only thing mentioned that would be covered by the prize!
  12. The stupid "crunch" factor gets mentioned in every dessert! I have no desire to eat a crunchy cake slice. I'd think egg shell got in there! 😁 Plus, almost everyone uses feuilltine (sp?). As this is a baking show, I maintain that every thing the bakers use should be made by them. No pre-made oreo cookies, or ginger snaps, or rice crispsies, or marshmallows, etc. I know the bakers get an unrealistic amount of time for their bakes, so my complaint isn't really practical. As always, I'd argue to give them more time!

    I just watched Bambi for the first times in decades, and I have thoughts. First of all, at least in Minnesota, deer hunting season is in the FALL, not Spring. Even if I could give them the benefit of the doubt and pretend the first shooting was a poacher, the killing of Bambi's mother was by a whole encampment of hunters, complete with tents and fires. These were not poachers. Secondly, no deer hunter goes out with a pack of dogs, especially not loud, vicious dogs. Completely counter productive. Deer hunting requires stealth, as deer have very good hearing. Most of all, as an adult, I was shocked that Bambi is kind of boring! There are long stretches with nothing but scenes of the forest while an off screen choir sing sappy songs. I can't believe modern day children would even sit through this movie. I wish I had left my warm feelings about the movie alone and skipped the rewatch. 😔 With Disney+ I've been rewatching a lot of movies and really enjoyed them (Pollyanna, Parent Trap, Jungle Book, Freaky Friday, etc). I am sad that Bambi didn't live up to my memories.
  14. Not only was It not necessary, it was said in the most ham fisted fashion. Did he encourage the team that won the challenge to yell "Up yours, losers!" I'm sure the producers push a lot of this stuff, but I would think Jesse has been around enough to push back on their more stupid ideas.
  15. I agree. Comparing himself as an "immigrant" to Javier was insensitive. And he was definitely trying to stir the pot during the team challenge.
