MadyGirl1987

Was Pat the guy giving Linda the massage?

I'm really excited for this! It looks like they are paying a lot of homage to the ride. I also wonder if that scene with what looks like an ocean or sea coming through the door is a shout out to the ride's orignial storyline where the house was owned by an old sea captian who had secretly been a pirate.

I didn't see it as that. I kinda see it as part of the whole team's storyline in the film and where they eventually end the movie; the movie is about the team coming to a crossroads and everyone finding their way forward to the next act in their lives. Dealing with their past and deciding how to move forward.

Can I ask you why you think that? I'm just curious since, to me, Tully seemed to dominate the relationship between her and Kate and I see Kate as the better friend. I also can't forgive her for putting Marah in danger with the crash, since, even though she deflected blame from herself saying she wasn't found at fault, it was her fault Marah was at the party and needed to get out of the situation. If she had listened to Kate, Marah wouldn't have been in that car accident. Isn't it interesting how people can watch the same show but come away with different takes?

Yep. Even if they hadn't shown that reaction from Peter before, I never understood the hate for that moment. It is totally relatable that someone would snap and act on instinct in that moment. I suspect the fact that Chris Pratt has fallen out of favor with a lot of people has to do with the reaction. I see a lot more iffy decisions made by MCU heroes that deserve more backlash then this that don't get mentioned as much as Quill punching Thanos. Tony deciding to build another AI bot after Ultron went full murder-bot will never not be frustrating for me to watch.

Thinking on it, and did anyone else find themselves annoyed that Tully noped out of the funeral. I mean, I get that grief affects people in different ways, but I felt like it was making it a bit about her and focusing on her grief? My mother died of breast cancer herself, and I would have given serious side-eye to any friend of hers that would have done that at her funeral. Grief is hard and messy, but it seems wrong to tell someone's grieving husband YOU are so affected by the death you can't go into the funeral.

I wondered why they were covering the pandemic as well. During the opening credits, they show a graphic that looks like a red wave sweeping part of the globe and then a covid virus(like this but red 🦠). I was thinking why would they be talking about the pandemic? Could it be something else? But nope, I guess this is going to be the 2010’s and early 2020’s… And yeah, they definitely had a chance to address the discrepancy between ratings and what creates buzz. I also thought they could have gone into some of the negatives of the current streaming environment, such as how shows don’t get a chance to start slow and grow. Shows are canceled much more quicker now, and are not given to grow their audiences or be found in the glut of options out there. Also; doing one season all at once prevents changes to storylines that aren’t resonating with audiences, giving writers a chance to pivot midseason if need be.

Yeah, in an ideal world people would be held accountable for actions, but let's not pretend that bad behavior being glossed over isn't a constant of Hollywood history, not to mention people being fired for things they shouldn't have been, such as being queer or refusing sexual advances from higher ups.

I can't stand the Rock. He's so popular and I just don't understand it... I was not surprised at the behind the scenes drama with him and DC over Black Adam and Shazam. He seems like somebody too in love with himself.

This is what I have wanted for years! I enjoy the movies, but in such limited time things get missed. My favorite book of the series is book 6, Half-Blood Prince because of the backstory you get on Voldemort and his family and seeing scenes of how life at Hogwarts has been affected by the war (kids being pulled taken out of school by their parents, you hear of two sisters whose little brother was killed in a werewolf attack after a parent refused to cooperate with death eaters) and those things were cut/winnowed down for time. A TV series would be able to go more in-depth into the world. Also; the last film came out 2011, so effects have gotten much better, so it would be nice to see what they could do with the stories today.

Two different things have made me think of Friends moments recently… The first is I was watching a horror movie where, of course, a dog dies. I will never not see a movie with a dog being killed and not think of Phoebe’s reaction to Old Yeller; “What kind of sick doggie snuff film is this?!” And second, when Angela Basset is being called out for not applauding and looking mad when she didn’t win an Oscar last night, it made me think of Joey and Rachel going over the reactions when losing before the soap opera awards.

She deserves the call out. It’s live performance 101 to not wear something that obstructs the view of people behind you. A performer should know that better then most.

Ha! I was just thinking “Now he has no chance of an Oscar for his Elvis performance, how fast will it take for the accent to disappear.”

I am sad for Halle Bailey. She seems like a perfectly fine singer/actress, but the live action remakes are not good and when this one is no different, she's going to get the blame...

Ah, I see. Yeah that is kinda curious.

I thought that spell meant that people just didn’t know Peter was Spider-man, not that they forgot the existence of Spider-man altogether?

You could just do what I’m doing and decide to mentally earmark your box-office dollars as going to Keaton or one of the others in the cast or crew, instead of Miller. Seriously though, I am excited to see Keaton back as Batman and am intrigued to see where DC goes from here.

Renewed for two more seasons.

I agree. Tully is focused on how she wasn’t at fault in the accident and “wasn’t that drunk”(I mean, like THAT makes it better?) and that she was going to help Mara, but she misses the point that Mara was in that situation because Tully ignored the ground rules Kate had laid out for her daughter.

I think it was. Marrying just out of HS/college. My parents married in 1981 and were just a couple years older then Diana(born in 1957 and 1958). A friend of my moms, same age as her, was already married and had a baby by the time of my parents marriage. In fact, an aunt of mine once told me she thought my parents weren’t going to have kids before I came along, based on how long (5 years) they were married before having me. People were just expected to settle down and have families sooner, I guess.

I really hope they show how the whole mess affected the boys. Diana and Charles, mostly Diana since I feel Charles would never have played the mess out publicly if Diana wasn’t using the press to get people on her side, really did a disservice to William and Harry. More then Diana or Charles, I feel sorry for them throughout the mess of the war of the wales.

Really good episode. I loved Jen and Matt together, hopefully they keep in touch, and I would love to see more of them. That ending was hard to watch, but I’m interested to see where it goes in the final episode. I really wish she had listened to Mallory and not gone into a Hulk rage, as understandable as her anger is. It just played into their hands and made things worse. I’m wondering if that was their plan; get her to go into angry hulk mode, and make people afraid of her. It’s understandable people would be frightened by a Hulk getting mad(look at what she did when not in an angry rage to the parking lot) and would be more likely to discredit her more then just slut-shaming. I’d be more worried by video of her angry rage then of her sleeping with someone.

I think if you knowingly sleep with someone’s significant other(assuming there isn’t an open relationship deal you would ideally confirm is legit) you are a guilty party. Not as much as the cheating partner of course, but in knowingly sleeping with them, you are playing a part in the deception and betrayal of the partner. You are willingly helping the cheater betray their significant other.

I can see you watched “Once Upon a Time” as well, huh. It was crazy how much of that happened in the show.
