Oh yes, I know (Our house hasn't been renovated since before I was born, and it desperately needs renovation) - I was just stating that the friend's house actually looked like it might've needed something done to it (Not that she deserved a TV show covering it). Since there's a difference between "house that looks immaculate and like it came out of a catalog" (like Alison Janey's assistant's house) and "house that looks like it belongs to a normal human being" (Zooey Deschanel's friend). If you look at shows that renovated houses for "regular" people i.e. Extreme Makeover - they did it to a point where it bankrupted the families, as the property values went up so much that they couldn't afford the property taxes. Which just shows that those shows should, you know, try to support those people, even if it is just putting like 5 or 10 years of property taxes in escrow for them (since it wouldn't be a lot, especially in cheaper states. In NJ, yeah, that'd be pricey - our house is 7k a year for a house that needs work) Edited December 26, 2020 by bros402 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/43583-this-is-our-cast-in-real-life-and-other-roles/page/3/#findComment-6517749

circumvent January 3, 2021 Share January 3, 2021 I don't watch christmas movies but a few days ago I was watching something on Netflix that I don't remember the name of, a comedy, and Justin Hartley was in a scene that was one of the oddest things I have ever seen: the character wanted to wax his genital area so he was naked on the table, we could only see his torso and head. Then the next shot was from his whole naked body but the CGI people decided to erase his penis, which was the weirdest thing ever in a non-sci-fi movie. Supposedly, the character had a huge penis, but there he was, nothing to see, literally. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/43583-this-is-our-cast-in-real-life-and-other-roles/page/3/#findComment-6529694
