It will stand unless he appeals that specific judgment and wins, which is by no means likely. First, it was based on an arbitration and he may have waived certain rights as part of his contract with Netflix, making it difficult to appeal further. Secondly, that lawsuit was related to acts on the set of the show that…

Really not at all the same. The Dunham issue is all about bodyshaming while the Daemon issue is about the character. Dunham’s character in Girls was kind of annoying but she certainly didn’t commit any savage murders or attempt to have sex with a close relative who was a minor. 

Completely have no idea if the nanny made all of this up, but if she did she certainly is creative. There is something about freaking out about a special salad dressing that is just. . . chef’s kiss. Maybe some crazy ex did this to her once?

There’s a certain amount of “power corrupts” here. I think we all know rich kids who were overly spoiled and effectively become sociopaths, believing they are better than other people and that no one matters except them. Now imagine being bred to be king in a world obsessed with bloodlines. Without some really great…

I do think the dinner also played an important role, reminding both women of the good relationship they used to have. However, their children have clearly been raised to hate or at least resent each other since birth (which very much includes resentment between Alicent’s own children) and any peace the two mothers…

Part of the issue is that the series is setting up a conflict that is going to last presumably for several seasons. A simple battle of good vs. evil could get a little boring, plus if Alicent is positioned as being a monster that would encourage everyone to overlook a ton of bad behavior from Daemon/Rhaenyra.

Many articles at the time stated that Crazy Rich Asians had the highest level of Asian representation seen since Joy Luck Club 25 years prior. Here’s one example:  https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/09/movies/joy-luck-club-crazy-rich-asians.html I definitely would not compare Crazy Rich Asians to a movie with a non-Asian…

There was potentially an option to do a more positive campaign around helping/promoting the community. For example, I’m no romcom person myself but I made sure to see Crazy Rich Asians opening weekend because I’m Asian and knew it was the first major studio picture with a majority Asian cast in over 20 years.

There’s undoubtedly a mix of reasons. In my mini-sample of 3 gay friends I happened to speak to over the weekend, one saw it, one will watch anything Marvel/scifi but has never seen a romcom that I know of and had no plans to watch, and the third loves romances and the Hallmark channel but thinks Billy Eichner is too…

Come on, one of the leads of Brokeback tragically died at a young age. No one is going to want to come off as making fun of Heath Ledger, huge potential downside for little to no upside.

Part of the problem is that people are so often wearing armor. I believe he had the full helmet on when he saw Rhaenrya when she was out with Daemon, and there was so much happening during the wedding fight I had no idea who took her out of the room.

They are also still talking about some damn secret for 10 years now yet we still don’t know how the Red we see on the show is really connected to Liz. It jumped the shark over to ridiculous at least 5 years ago.

Can someone, somewhere please explain to me why I appear to still be watching The Blacklist? It was so bad during the (spoiler, not that anyone cares) Liz dies season that I just read recaps but I crawled back and have been slowly working my way through the current season, which then proceeded to endlessly show…

Well, he’s already set up to be Starfox/Eros based on Eternals, so that’s not nothing. And a smaller, preferably light part in a big movie might be a better path for him.

“Serious roles” is the key point here. I saw Don’t Worry Darling and he just doesn’t seem up to that particular challenge. However, he comes across as very charming and does fine in the early scenes of the movie when he’s just playing house with Florence Pugh.

I saw it this weekend and trust me, it won’t be for this one ;-).

Other recaps have said that Alicent is likely jealous that she’s spent the last 10 years putting out for a decrepit old guy and washing his sores while Rhaenrya gets to sleep with whomever she wants and eventually be the ruler as well. Alicent has also spent 10 years separated from her father, who is her only…

I actually think they changed it because 1) tournaments are expensive; 2) they showed one this season already. and 3) throwing it into what was basically the rehearsal dinner allowed them to save quite a bit of screentime so they can keep pressing forward to battle scenes that I’m sure are on the way. Unfortunately…

The challenge is that the producers (somewhat understandably) likely believe that viewers have limited interest in court intrigue so they can only have an episode or two go between major battles/bloodshed. So they’re speeding through all of this stuff which definitely is detrimental to character development.

That seemed much more straightforward though - the other guy repeatedly insulted that poor kid and drew his own weapon the second that kid took out his sword. Book folks also state that incident led to bad blood between those two houses for years. We obviously haven’t seen the outcome from the wedding incident but if…
