@bondranked And, honestly, I think Hollywood fails her when they insist do putting her in white-meat babyface roles. She can be pretty good in movies where they ask her to be more duplicitous or mean-girly. She acquits herself well in Wild Things and Drop Dead Gorgeous.
@TODWShow Oh, wait! I also thought the villains were really fun. I wish the story stayed a little more low-stakes (do we really need to “cosplay the world to death” or whatever?), but I loved the hammy performances and weird bird makeup. Great stuff all around!
@TODWShow I admit that I appreciate the Doctor’s asexuality throughout so much of his history and, as I get older, I like his “romance” subplots in NuWho less and less, but this one really worked for me.
@TODWShow What was the woman saying to everyone? Where did the Doctor go? Who created the fairy circle? I’m really hoping that a satisfying resolution is on the way because, as it stands, the handwaviness of this ending just doesn’t work for me. (2/2)
@TODWShow I was gripped the whole time — very creepy, very effective — but I kept assuming that everything would be explained & I’m baffled that didnt happen. (1/2)
@TODWShow My favorite of the three so far! The daughter felt like she should have been a few years younger — I’d have bought her more as a toddler or a 5 or 6 y/o — but the rest felt like the DW I remember from 9/10/11. Good stuff.
10 years ago, President Obama wore a tan suit during a press conference and everyone lost their minds. Rep Peter King (R-NY) said, “There's no way any of us can excuse what the president did yesterday.”
Yesterday, former President Trump was convicted of defaming E. Jean Carroll, after being found liable of sexually abusing her last year, and ordered to pay her $83.3M. Also yesterday, former Trump adviser Peter Navarro was sentenced to prison for contempt of court. Navarro’s is just 1 of over 700 prison sentences that have come from efforts to help Trump overturn the 2020 election.
Obama’s tan suit owned the news cycle for a week, but in a day or two we won’t be talking about a current presidential nominee’s sexual abuse convictions or prison time for attempting to overthrow democracy anymore because something even more outrageous will have happened. This is what I mean when I say we’re living through “unprecedented times.”
@popcorninbed@Dexerto Don’t undersell yourselves! If you can catch the attention of the biggest movie star in the world, you must doing something right! PiB rocks -- keep being you!
In 1998, archaeologists uncovered an ancient Korean tomb containing the mummified body of a 30-year-old man named Eung-Tae Lee. On his chest was a love letter from his pregnant wife to the father of her unborn child. The translation of the letter is as follows:
"To Won's Father
June 1, 1586
You always said, 'Dear, let's live together until our hair turns gray and die on the same day!' How could you pass away without me? Who should I and our little boy listen to and how should we live? How could you go ahead of me?
How did you bring your heart to me, and how did I bring my heart to you? Whenever we lay down together, you always told me, 'Dear, do other people cherish and love each other like we do? Are they really like us?' How could you leave all that behind and go ahead of me?
I just cannot live without you. I just want to go to you. Please take me to where you are. My feelings toward you I cannot forget in this world, and my sorrow knows no limit. Where would I put my heart in now, and how can I live with the child missing you?
Please look at this letter and tell me in detail in my dreams. Because I want to listen to your saying in detail in my dreams, I write this letter and put it in. Look closely and talk to me.
When I give birth to the child in me, who should it call father? Can anyone fathom how I feel? There is no tragedy like this under the sky.
You are just in another place, and not in such deep grief as I am. There is no limit and end to my sorrows that I write roughly. Please look closely at this letter and come to me in my dreams and show yourself in detail and tell me. I believe I can see you in my dreams.
Come to me secretly and show yourself. There is no limit to what I want to say, and I stop here."
