@Brocklesnitch Also not to mention the traditional UK sketch comedy pipeline is usually pre existing friendship group/collaborators (Usually from Oxbridge or their relevant drama school) rather than a dedicated sketch format like SNL

i feel for the snluk team, there are so few sketch opportunities so of course you want the job but many people who dont even like snl will watch hoping it fails, many people wont give it a chance from the jump even though its a huge new undertaking & lots of people will be cunts

@JoLucyBradley The Family Stone (Christmas themed rom com/dramedy) where Diane Keaton is the matriach to a quirky family clashing with Sarah Jessica Parker who is the new straitlaced girlfriend being introduced to the family

@jonnoxrevanche SJP was always a character actress first prior to Carrie (She was never the traditional ingenue)
English
Weirdly this is what it’s like to watch parts of the OG sex and the city
love drops@lovedropx
I cannot overstate how good it feels to watch older movies where the actors were still allowed to look kind of weird and not be conventionally attractive. It is genuinely healing.

@sailoryue @ObiscureNick More likely it's a right issue with the Production company meaning Disney can't just put it up on their streaming services they way they could for a show that was completely owned in house
English
@ObiscureNick I wish that this show and the movie was on Disney +. Idk why Disney won't let it air, did his family request it not? I know he killed himself but his legacy still lives in his show

Raven Symone honours Lee Thompson Young and places him on her Disney Channel Mount Rushmore.
We need to have more conversations about Lee Thompson Young. A child actor from the show “The Famous Jett Jackson” and one of the first lead Disney Channel actors who is no longer with us. 🙏
I will be doing a thread and a video on him at some point and the impact he had on Hollywood for child stars.

@theboywizard_ The first series aired just as I had came out such a big show for me

Please Like Me is one of my fav shows of all time and I think more people should watch it, I feel like it’s on ABC iview atm 😌

@indogaysian It says so much about this particular project that the actors who have been getting the most publicity are the ones playing the villains.
English
@INA_TheatreSnob It should be noted that Dee Riscoli who is the offical Madeline/Helen standby is 48 (Interesting that they have 1 offical standby for both roles) but yeah I can see how understudies who are much younger can be seen as conflicting
English
What are your thoughts on the controversy surrounding younger actors understudying Madeline and Helen in Death Becomes Her?
I understand that they primarily play ensemble tracks who are supposed to be young & attractive, but it kinda feels ageist given the show's whole message.
English
@TheGayChingy I actually owned this comic (It was a story about a brief moment in time where Bart had a snack food monopoly over Springfield and it's a grown up Lisa investigating what happened-As she was away/grown up Bart goes to the hospital and utters the snack food's name)
English
Happy International Woman’s Day to the Rod and Todd Flanders from this Simpsons comic circa 2000

@invitinghistory The overall production design for this show was gorgeous
English
thinking about Aurora in her Fabergé egg bed tonight
Inviting History@invitinghistory
Every once in a while I like to think about how Aurora in The Australian Ballet's 'The Sleeping Beauty' sleeps in a Fabergé egg inspired bed.
English
@Brocklesnitch It's surprisingly poignant (A lot of it is about grief/moving on etc.) and much better than most rom com sequels are (The bonus point of it was that it allowed Bridget to be a reasonably competent adult without sacrificing her quirks)
English
@ItsThomasH I didn’t like the first one at the time I must confess, and haven’t revisited. But that doesn’t mean I won’t watch this one hehe
English
I usually understand why men are heartthrobs but this one baffles me. He looks fine but also like an ex-member of Steps or a baby born on love island
Bec Shaw@Brocklesnitch
I don’t think I can watch Vladimir if it requires me to believe that Rachel Weisz isn’t one of the most desirable women in the world
English
@Brocklesnitch I reccomend it in general it's easily the best of the sequels in the franchise
English
@ItsThomasH I haven’t seen that! Maybe he would win me over being a bit fun
English
@PatrickLenton This is basically the equivalent of Pauline Hanson attempting to rock up at an Eid celebration
English
Imagine being an adult and spending your one life doing childish stunts like this? I know it’s for the grift, but yikes it’s embarrassing
English
@DubiousCA amazon.com.au/Other-Bennet-S… It's an adapatation of this book which is actually rather good, I do recommend reading it (A lot of the actual story is Mary post P&P where she's given space to grow up/become her own person)
English
the costuming looks great and it’s Austen adjacent so I’ll obviously still watch it, but the idea of Mary Bennet as a ‘radical thinker’ is genuinely the most ridiculous thing I’ve heard all week
Aline@shipneide_
Trailer de "The Other Bennet Sister", minissérie da BBC one baseada no livro homônimo de Janice Hadlow A trama acompanhará Mary Bennet, de Orgulho e Preconceito, enquanto ela emerge da sombra das irmãs em busca de sua própria identidade (15/03) 🇬🇧

@jonnoxrevanche At least she's on this side of the annoying spectrum imagine what would've happened if she went in the other direction al a Nicki Minaj etc.
English
She acts and talks like we never evolved culturally past the year 2016 which is so fascinating to me I bet she asks strangers at a party what they think about Zooey Deschanel

@INA_TheatreSnob Also as an Aussie so glad to see Trevor Ashley up there!
English
That Corbin Bleu played a character who was anti-musical theatre & exactly 20 years later is nominated for the most prestigious award in British theatre is the ultimate full circle moment.
Also on the virtue of being the nicest both times I met him, he deserves it.

@legolaurapalmer The college/uni season in any teen drama is always the riskiest one (Given how both TV writing/TV viewing relies on /is rewarded via structure and any changes in familiarity/format can have backlash if it isn't handled well)
English
@orbitoffbeat Also JK Rowling deciding to make Lily, Petunia and Snape from the Midlands (The halfway part of the UK where the North vs. South divide really starts to kick in) and Lily/Petunia most likely were either "respectable working class" or just on the right side of "middle class"
English
I like thinking about how Lily and James were on opposite sides of the spectrum re: blood status AND class bc wow what a clusterfuck THAT must have been.
schmashley schmeese@orbitoffbeat
@lupinflowrs Socialist Lily and champagne socialist James is canon to me
