  1. it may as well be autism and not easy way out. she even might be interested romantically, but she realizes that relationship is work and she just isn't willing to put in ALL THAT work into it. she is great and patient with him as a friend, but romantic relationship requires more from the parties. It's ok to evaluate that aspect before jumping in. and it's more mature to admit that you are not equal to that challenge than try, fail and hurt yourself and the person you love.
  2. if you look at televote winners of the past decade: 2010 Germany 2011 Azerbaijan 2012 Sweden 2013 Denmark 2014 Austria 2015 Italy 2016 Russia 2017 Portugal 2018 Israel 2019 Norway Yeah... Eastern European countries are passing the trophy around... Italy, Russia and Norway have been hurt by the juries, the rest of the time, the crowd fav won despite the jury. I'd be totally fine with those winners. The only winner here i'd change would be Azerbaijan lol but that one isn't part of the argument lol
  3. I think I blinked and missed the reveal that sister is alive and is in the homeless camp... I know it has been suggested here and i'm not surprised, but I just don't remember seeing it on screen lol
  4. but how do you burn something that badly when it was covered? It's not just an oven running hot. it's complete failure to follow the temperature and time directions of the recipe. like some said, it's not a fancy French culinary school recipe. It's "take what you have in the pantry, toss it into a dish and bake it at 350 for an hour"... rocket science this is not... I'm still hoping that Dash is just one more step towards Claire and Melendez romance. She kissed a few frogs, now she'll try with a good guy, but it'll still feel wrong. I WILL have my couple on the screen, dammit!!! lol
  5. I personally prefer when countries instead of trying to win are trying to show off their culture: be it smth folky and old, or current, or both... That desperation that stinks up a lot of entries every year makes me gag. Belarus has been guilty of that more often than not. Russia too. There is unhealthy deification of everything foreign. OMG OUR SONG WAS WRITTEN BY SWEDISH AUTHORS!!!! ugh. 🙄 the woman that once stood next to a waitress that served JLo has designed these costumes. If it were up to me I'd reinstate language rule. MAKE countries sing in their native languages for at least half the song. I doubt UK would benefit much from that lol they've been awful for years now.
  6. Russia has moved into the 1st position in the odds, but obv the song needs to be released. In any way. this is shaping up to be a super fun year. I'm kinda sad that Charkras aren't going... they would have added to wtf type of epicness of the year LOL
  7. So Russia didn't come to play lol. It basically told Europe "go f yourself. Here we'll help you" Little Big to represent Russia in Rotterdam. Song will be announced in a few days. But in case you are not familiar with troll kings of the world here are some gems.
  8. If he didn't stop being Taika after Thor success, I doubt he ever will. Especially since he got his Oscar for HIS movie. It's quite an achievement that after directing a pop corn blockbuster he still has major indie cred and is getting rewarded for indie-ish work. In his "one for them, one for me" lineup, he got a major pat on the back for the "for me" movie. I'm expecting Taika to become even more Taika. I mean he goes ahead and does this right then and there https://www.ndtv.com/entertainment/oscars-2020-viral-taika-waititi-stashes-trophy-under-seat-caught-by-brie-larson-2178342 🤣
  9. So extremely happy for Taika’s win! ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
  10. it was so much FUN! i adore Margot Robbie. she was amazing. the villain suit game was ON! lol as was he but that kid. omg. is she some daughter or sister who got the role based on connections? i don't believe for a second that this was the best kid they saw in auditions. but it was clear that everyone had a ball filming this and that energy came across the screen. the fighting from John Wick choreographer was crazy and funny! as expected.
  11. I feel your pain. I hate how Russians are being portrayed in Hollywood, by people who don't even speak a lick of Russian... and i'm not even Russian lol they use my country when they need someone who speaks Russian but comes from a country few heard of just to appear worldly. BUT did you really expect a true-to-life portrayal of Texas from Ryan-king-of-camp-Murphy? Buck and Eddie had 10000x more chemistry than two gay kids here... Rob Lowe is that aging pretty that ages very weirdly. but I like that they are using it as a gag joke and running with it. self-irony looks good on anyone.
  12. Hulu suggested Musketeers and I then I went on IMDB to see where else I can see Tom Burke. So the yellow brick road took me to War and Peace. Never read it (even though it was a school program reading) but wrote a composition on it... somehow lol we were pretty resourceful LOL what I still can't find an answer to is was it Tom Burke singing or was it dubbed? it sounded perfect. I mean his Russian in the song. The duet later was adorable but the Russian was cringy. When Dolokhov was singing my first reaction was that Burke is "lypsincing". only info I found was Guardian ripping the show a new one for sudden Russian singing from characters. if Lily James wasn't "dubbed" why would Tom Burke be, right? But if it is him... damn that man is more talented than I thought.
  13. at least now it's available for pre-order https://www.bestbuy.com/site/jojo-rabbit-includes-digital-copy-blu-ray-2019/6395813.p?skuId=6395813&ref=212&loc=1&ref=212&loc=1&ds_rl=1266837&gclid=Cj0KCQiAmZDxBRDIARIsABnkbYRDaE-SnXzyrvs-Ci8yXDp65I287gasbhqUGaE4yYpXhTdbN_LYBqwaAkAREALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
  14. I think when it comes to oscars the likeliest category is script. And if everything is right with the world Taika SHOULD win it. This movie lives and dies by the masterful script and directorial work. 99 times out of a 100 a movie with such a premise is a disaster. Taika created a masterpiece. As good as other nominees are, and as large of a part a screenplay usually plays in a movie, here it’s the reason Jojo Rabbit is that good and getting all those nominations. ETA. also from what I’ve understood based on interviews, even though it’s based on a book it’s more accurate to say it’s inspired by a book. Taika took a situation described in a dark grim story and made something very different in tone and style.
  15. My top 3 is this, 1917, and Parasite. my heart belongs to this movie though. I keep checking the DVD release date and it keeps being pushed. It’s back in the theaters for the pre-Oscar run. Might need to get my fix for more captain K and go see it. For the 6th time. not sorry. Lol
  16. I've mentioned that in another thread. David Cook Darren Chris LOOOOOOONG shot, never gonna happen, but a girl can dream: Julie Andrews
  17. that was intense. Finally I got a long awaited good cry that was denied to me by the cinema for some time. The one shot approach and not knowing what's in the shadows or behind the corner... there was a lot of white knuckling in the two hours. The tension made all the emotions come out of my eyes. Cinematography was beyond beautiful. It was also funny how in some scenes (like when they were going along the edge of water in a hole. we just saw there were no rails there and the camera is seamlessly gliding over water) it was kinda like oh now Deakins is just showing off! For me now it's a 3 horse race. My heart still belongs to Taika. Then there's Parasite and this. Pulling for those in the Oscars. I was flinching with the rocks and whirlpools on his way. There was a lot of jumping and flinching due to the way this was filmed. Sometimes you don't need 3D to be fully immersed in the movie. I was also seating very close. when he was getting out of the river after running through the city and then fighting the current the following happened in the theater man next to me: achooo! me (jumping): SHIT! man: sorry ppl aroud us:😂🤣
  18. yeah, IRL I wouldn't root for that kind of relationship. but it's a TV show. I can suspend some disbelief if it's worth my while. Doesn't hurt that those two actors have insane chemistry. And both characters need a "win" in personal life too. Am I shallow to want this? yes. is it a trainwreck IRL? sure. but, damit show, give me Claire and Melendez romance! lol I'm ok with it being a slow burn.
  19. Too strong of a year in terms of movies and acting. IMO if Taron were going against Malek, Taron would have won... but last year was... last year... bummer, I really wanted at least a nom for him. not too surprised, unfortunately. Costumes is a more surprising snub though...
  20. Dracula was a hoot. I chuckled when he threw nun's head to pick his next victim. I liked that they tried to go modern times, didn't expect that, the show got me. Liked that they tried to summarize all the fears and myths into one theory. but BOY was that theory stupid and grasping at straws... so he is afraid of death... ok cross - fine i give you that. but wtf does sun have to do with it or being invited... what does that have to do with fear of death? such a major letdown
  21. My mind immediately went to Out by Natsuo Kirino
  22. BJR for me was such a cartoony bad guy ( no fault of Tobias, it’s how he was written) with absolutely no redeeming qualities or reasons for being the absolute worst human being ever other than just to be the contrast of a “good boy Jamie” that he never really seemed real and that scary. I am forever #teamFrank though lol so had absolutely no reservations about the “new” Phillip. In terms of “quality as a human being” Phillip is a step down from Frank...
  23. #teamFrank lol I saw that last scene as both "marking territory" and expression of affection. Phillip was jealous (the nuances in Tobias' facial expressions are just amazing. who needs a monologue!). It was actually fun to watch a ladies' man being threatened by a "nice boy" lol He went in for that kiss as a mature adult's version of a tantrum. Subdued anger and affection in one. Yes it was him kissing his wife to assert his position, but it was also to express and "remind her" that he does love and care for her. I'm still amazed at the casting of Menzies. When i saw photos of him in make up next to Phillip of those times, i though, i guess, it's close-ish... I was down for him as Phillip though cause I adore him. Bu that grin when he was leaving her office, with his face half obscured by shadow, i swear, for a split second i thought Prince William is gonna emerge into a fully lit part of the scene.
  24. she also looks like Tobias could have fathered her. Spot on casting indeed.
