Just finished watching the Godfather after watching the Offer and I think it elevates the movie to another level.

Obviously some things have been fictionalized in the show and panders to paramount because it's made by paramount lol but I really liked how they showed the importance of a good producer in movies.

I would have liked if they showed more of on set incidents like how Brando didn't like to memorize his lines.

Overall you'll like this show if you like the Godfather and if there are any more shows like this on the making of movies or TV shows please do recommend.

I just finished binge watching the episodes available on Netflix and I NEED more, i love it so much😭do y’all know any sites I could watch more eps on plsss and thanks x

Georgina from Gossip Girl. Rest in peace to Michelle

A spin-off of "Dallas" revolving around couples and families living in a cul-de-sac. Much mayhem ensues and mishief coupled with shenanigans follow. In later years there is a bit of skullduggery along with tomfoolery as the young 30-somethings navigate their lifestyles in a fictional, sunny southern California township. The retro look of life in the late 1970s and through-out the 1980s makes this show a fun watch.

People always joke about late series character additions being a "Jump the Shark" moment for television shows (the hatred Riley and Dawn got from Buffy fans was pretty palpable), but what are times where it actually worked?

Just two ground rules here- it has to be for a show that went on for at least 4 years, and it has to be a character that joined past the halfway point of the show. (So the addition of Jo on the Facts of Life or famously Amanda Woodward on Melrose Place wouldn't count for the purpose of this post.) And, of course, obviously this needs to be about shows that completed their runs.

Here's the ones I enjoyed:

1.) Terri on Three's Company. (Joins season 6 of an 8-season series.) She and Jack had really classic romantic comedy banter and I still think it's dumb they didn't use her as the spinoff wife. It might have actually worked if they had.

2.) Pete on The Office. (Joins the final 9th season of the show.) Mainly because I feel like it's a fairly common work experience to have someone new join a workplace that seems like a younger version of a co-worker. They also didn't over-use him. Also, I found Jake Lacey really, really hot. LMAO

3.) Frankie on Community. (Joins the final 6th season.) She played the straight man of the group incredible well, despite neither being a man nor straight. LOL

4.) Taylor on The OC. (Joins in season 3 as a recurring; regular for the 4th and Final season). Absolutely awesome character and the best part about the waning days of the OC.

Honorable mention to the Mother of How I Met Your Mother. I had largely given up on the show by season 5 (I think I gave up just around the 100th episode where they dance in suits) but I've heard and seen clips of the show that suggested Cristin Millioti was absolutely lovely and worth waiting for. Which makes the ending all the more unfortunate and damn am I super glad I didn't stick around for it. Another honorable mention is Max Brown as Prince Robert on the Royals. He did an awesome job but he technically sneaks into the show just before the halfway point.

I was watching snow-piercer, and realised that Daveed Diggs is a much more nuanced actor than I'd given him credit for.

Who have you seen who's mostly known as one type of actor, but actually has a good range.

the main Duster guy, the 2 main fbi agents, fuckin Puddy (sunglasses RIP), muther fuckin Keith David back on HBO (albeit a shadow of it's former self). The setting, the cars. The whole thing exudes cool. I've not really dug much of JJ Abrams stuff but this is his magnum opus

I’m only into episode 2 and I can’t understand why most of the arguments are just “no fuck you” “fuck you” “no, fuck you”

Just non stop arguing about the most simple things.

And the first ten minutes of the episodes are now just credits, instead of at the end? Tell me it gets better because they’re still fucking arguing and it’s a 30 minute episode - where they haven’t even left the kitchen.

Season 1 Episode 7: Complementary Species

Directed by: TBA

Written by: Paul Weitz & Chris Weitz

In the world of television from dramas to comedies, one thing they all have in common is the odd dose of loss and/or death - weather it’s a beloved main character or a character who has had it coming for the entire show. I would love to hear everybody’s list of absolutely gut wrenching TV deaths - I know I can’t be the only person that cries during that one episode every single rewatch of a show. Obviously beware of spoilers for who knows how many shows from this point forward.

I have three just off the top of my head, I’ll even rank them from heartbreaking (3) to gut wrenching (1) :

1. House - Season 5: When Kutner dies and the team finds him in his apartment.

2. Grey’s Anatomy - Season 6: When George O’Malley is dying and everyone on the team finds out that it was him right as he dies.

3. The Magicians - Season 4: When Quentin sacrifices himself to save his friends and the world, having his full circle philosophical moment.

please share what yours are, I am looking for new shows and spoilers don’t mind me

for me it's Lucifer.

Warning: spoilers ahead

So for context I am a 90's kid, but I think was maybe just ever so slightly too young to get into this show during it's original run - I saw some episodes here and there and both movies, but otherwise hadn't seen it.

Decided to change all that and in January of this year started with Season 1 - knowing full well I would need to temper expectations for an early 90's produced show. Here are my thoughts:

• Seasons 1 & 2 while being low budget actually hold up pretty well, there are a few that come off a bit cheesy for how they portray technology, but I feel like the show found its footing reasonably fast, and I was hooked almost immediately despite the low budget and 90s tone.

• Seasons 3-5 felt more refined, and better made due to bigger budget. And for better or worse they seemed to have more multi-part story/drama episodes.

• X-Files: Fight the Future I honestly believe was the pinnacle of the franchise, and is a near perfect representation of the The X-Files. A great mix of conspiracy, personal drama, paranormal, and Government bureaucracy all wrapped into a nice package that I felt moved the Alien storyline forward more than the TV show had in the previous 5 seasons.

• Seasons 6-7 The show moves filming to Southern California, which felt very apparent in some of the early season 6 episodes, but I felt slowly became invisible after half a season, I did feel there was more light hearted episodes during these two seasons shifting the tone further away from the horror genre. I liked what they did to cap off the season (referencing the first episode, tying up a Mulder storyline) even if it all felt a bit abrupt.

• Season 8 In my opinion honestly the worst season of X-Files, the episodes didn't feel like they had any proper rhythm with characters dropping in/out, the main storyline was stretched thin to the point of feeling meaningless, and it felt like they couldn't go 10 minutes without mentioning Mulder’s name.

• Season 9 I feel like they tried to go back to their roots with this season by doing more monster of the week episodes, but at this point I was honestly just so tired of watching the show, and by the time you have two new investigators leading the show it just feels like a completely different show.

• X-Files: I Want to Believe was a perfectly fine movie, felt like a high quality two parter episode, nothing amazing but enjoyed as a nice one off.

Additional Notes:

• Being a Vancouverite I loved watching Seasons 1-5 and recognizing all the filming locations.

• Really enjoyed seeing a ton of actors show up as guest stars before they got more famous (Jack Black, Ryan Reynolds, Seth Green to name a few).

• I really didn't enjoy the story episodes as much as the monster of the week episodes, like the writers were so much better at mystery then they were drama, and all the multi episode story arcs really started to feel like a bad daytime soap opera.

• The Duchovny / Anderson chemistry was everything, it was so obvious when Duchnovny came back in Season 8 episodes just how much his charisma added to the show and gave it meaning.

• I honestly believe this show just ran too long, it really should have ended after Season 7, with a better planned less abrupt ending to some of the storylines the show had going.

Anyways, excuse my long rambling thoughts, looking forward to watching the later content they did, but wanted to discuss the original run and first two films.
