@ffs_anaaaa @lestathater Gabrielle dispised French, the others are not gonna speak Italian just for her sake. So, I guess they chose English as middle ground.

@lestathater I just don't get why they're speaking in English, the flashbacks to this time in s2 were spoken in french

really enjoyed this scene because it gave the illusion of gabriella and lestat being partners in crime and then it quickly shatters because the moment they start beating him, he looks towards her and she just goes back to her fucking book

@MaverickCA619 @daemperor007 @aakashgupta Agree, this is actually more problematic.

@daemperor007 @aakashgupta Go tell a Korean he's the same thing as a Japanese and watch how mad he gets. Go tell an Ethiopian they're the same as an Eritrean and watch how mad they get. You're just an actual racist.

He played Daenerys's mercenary lover for three episodes, then walked off the biggest show on television. The recast is the version people remember. The better story comes later. Ed Skrein left Game of Thrones after season 3. The press said he chose to headline The Transporter Refueled, the 2015 reboot built to make him the next Jason Statham. It pulled $16M domestic, killed a franchise that had run since 2002, and ended his shot at leading man before it started. So he went the other way and became a villain for hire. Ajax in Deadpool. Zapan in Alita. Atticus Noble across two Rebel Moon films. Always the threat, rarely the lead, never out of work. Then in 2017 Lionsgate cast him as Major Ben Daimio in the Hellboy reboot. He signed on, then learned the character is Japanese-American in the source comics. He stepped down. In writing. Handed the part back so it could be cast correctly, and Daniel Dae Kim took it. John Cho, Riz Ahmed, Ava DuVernay, and George Takei publicly thanked him for it. Daniel Dae Kim said he remained indebted to him for his strength of character. The joke is that he fumbled a hit show for a movie no one saw. The thing he's actually known for in Hollywood is being one of the only white actors who ever gave back a role that wasn't written for him. One of those choices reads a lot better eight years later than any opening weekend.

@arendellepeach Do we have to come out? I mean, its pretty obvious isnt it? When you are never with someone, ppl just slowly get it eventually. if I say that Im seeing someone, no one will believe me.

since coming out as ace, i have yet to see a pride month without "asexuals are not part of this!!!" discourse so wanna bet how long until i see that this year

Internet please make this a trend

@FellowshipFans @YavannaTheKind So, suddenly Sauron finds Celeborn somewhere in a dungeon and starts torturing him, for what reason? He doesn't have any useful info, he is not Celebrimbor, not a smith. So, why?

🚨 Just revealed! Looks like these two characters will have a … *heated rivalry* in Season 3 of Rings of Power🔥 Edit by @YavannaTheKind #TheRingsofPower #Sauron #JamieCampbellBower #TROPSpoilers

@sogowoshuseisu @ZagZino @Pirat_Nation But it is true that X's algorithm favors right wing views, so those comments show often.

@ZagZino @Pirat_Nation 人種差別投稿をするネット右翼の司令塔のようなアカウントが意図的にヘイトを煽り、彼らに有利なアルゴリズムが出来上がっている。 そのため自動翻訳で世界中の人がそれを目にした。でもネット右翼を嫌い人種差別を憎み、普通の暮らしを愛する日本人の投稿は世界に届きにくい。

Former Japanese television presenter and YouTuber Kanon Aoki has warned that X’s automatic translation tool is damaging Japan’s international reputation as a polite and harmonious society. She explains that the feature now exposes blunt or negative online comments from some Japanese users to global audiences, revealing opinions on topics like tourism and cultural norms that were previously hidden by language barriers.

@aakashgupta If it is cancelled, maybe he will finally find time to produce Orville S4.

Ted Season 2 just hit 1.2 billion views on Peacock in seven weeks. The biggest original comedy on any streaming service. Seth MacFarlane cancelled it the next day. Here's why he killed it. Each episode of Ted costs roughly $8 million to produce. The eight-episode Season 2 ran a $64 million budget. Most of that goes to rendering the bear. CGI Ted is on screen for nearly every scene, and MacFarlane refused from day one to "nickel-and-dime" the effects. The 2012 film had a theatrical window, DVD sales, pay TV, and international syndication to amortize those costs. Season 2 on Peacock has subscription revenue and nothing else. Ted 1 was the highest-grossing comedy of 2012 at $549 million worldwide. Ted 2 did $216 million in 2015 and Universal quietly walked away from the franchise. MacFarlane sat on the IP for eight years. Then Peacock paid him to build a CGI-heavy prequel series. 1.2 billion views later, the unit economics still don't work. MacFarlane already runs the model that does. Family Guy has been on air for 24 years. American Dad is at 20 seasons. Animated, pre-budgeted, scales forever. Peacock ordered Ted: The Animated Series in 2024, and it picks up after the events of Ted 2 with the original movie cast. Mark Wahlberg as John. Amanda Seyfried as Samantha. Jessica Barth as Tami-Lynn. MacFarlane as Ted. The animated version solves the one problem live-action couldn't. A CGI bear in episode 1 costs the same as a CGI bear in episode 200. Animation is a pipeline. Character rigs, environments, and voice recordings amortize across the full run. Family Guy produces episodes for a fraction of what Ted S2 cost per episode. 1.2 billion people just got reintroduced to the Ted franchise weeks before the animated series enters production. Peacock inherits that audience at a fraction of the cost. MacFarlane gets a show he can write forever. The live-action series was the marketing campaign. The animated series is the business.

@alicesmonkey @trenchxdaddy So, in the comics they are not related?

@trenchxdaddy They did in the comics...it's a nod to the source material

i’m sorry but why the fuck was solider boys first thought that homelander fucked him? IM SORRY WHAT???? #theboys

@Thor_Odinson I just don't understand why he refuses ghostwriters. It would be the best.

Fuck you, George.

@calebskinard2 Are you seriously manifesting for a greedy corporation???!!!

CMON 2 BILLION! WORK FOR MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

@allenanalysis I'm surprised he didn't say Donbas and other Ukrainian provinces are Russian security. At this point nobody except Ukrainians remembers that Russia annexed Crimea.

🚨BREAKING: Trump just handed Putin a script. Lavrov is now saying: “If Greenland is ‘U.S. security,’ then Crimea is ‘Russian security.’” That’s the danger of a president who talks like an imperial landlord. Every dictator on earth hears it as permission. Russia and China for starters. He’s not restoring strength. He’s normalizing annexation.

@LordSnow Ok, he was trying to micromanage things, that's not his job. Instead he should just write what he is supposed to write.

George R.R. Martin says his relationship with ‘HOUSE OF THE DRAGON’ Showrunner Ryan Condal is “abysmal” “It’s worse than rocky, It’s abysmal.” “I hired Ryan. I thought Ryan and I were partners. And we were all through the first season. I would read early drafts of the scripts. I would give notes. He would change some things. It was working really well — I thought.” “Then we got into season two, and he basically stopped listening to me. I would give notes, and nothing would happen. Sometimes he would explain why he wasn’t doing it. Other times, he would tell me, ‘Oh, OK, yeah, I’ll think about that.’ It got worse and worse, and I began to get more and more annoyed. Finally, it got to a point where I was told by HBO that I should submit all my notes to them and they would give Ryan our combined notes.” (Source: hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-features…)

@Juliet_B007 @librarythingtim @sixfootcandy Joe Keery, perhaps?

@librarythingtim @sixfootcandy I think Timmy is tops and the best of his generation - but he is more equiv to River and Leo. Not sure who is as strikingly pretty as Brad or his predecessor Paul

I was holding a bottle of Paul Newman salad dressing when my niece asked me who Paul Newman was. I told her he was an actor, basically the Brad Pitt of my mom’s generation. Then she hit me with, “Who’s Brad Pitt?” If anyone needs me, I’ll be at the senior center eating applesauce.

@jeduffy Assuming the first and last pics are from one day in May, I think his envolvement in S3 is minimal, he had maybe just few days of shooting in spring.

Charlie Vickers (lack of) wardrobe cracks me up #haladriel #trop

@DailyRoP Looks short of statue. Prob, Galadriel

Great to hear they've wrapped filming, although the only really interesting snippet is this mysterious silhouetted figure?

@_middleEarth Disagree. We need a fresh look. All the cast should be recast. Seriously, people, nostalgy is a dangerous thing.

🚨 BAD NEWS: Viggo Mortensen would not return for the new ''The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum'' movie and the character of Aragorn would be played by a younger actor. Honestly, it no longer makes sense to make this movie.

@jflWrites Custom made suits and shoes

Can someone tell me what this means? "He was dressed as if he had old money."

@gilestelscanvas They should recast all of them. It's time for the next gen actors. Maybe even redo the LOTR.
