Exactly. My daughter and I read them at the same time, and we both gave up before we got halfway through the 3rd installment. I've hate-read more than a few books just to finish what I started, but I couldn't be bothered with that one. And as pretty as Theo James is, I can't bring myself to care about the third movie,…

I believe the plan is to use the movie as a pilot for a new tv series, like whatever that ABC Family show is based on the other failed supernatural romance movie.

She’s too busy trying to make a difference in this goddamn world!

its amazing because its like the series wants to be the hunger games SO BAD that they went and outdid thg in terms of frustrating, tonally out-of-left field series resolutions!!

It’s a BBC show called Peaky Blinders (as someone else mentioned). He doesn’t show up until season 2 but until then you’ve got Cillian Murphy to enjoy.

I read this as an actress signing on for one project, and not wanting to have it switched for a totally different one. Filming a tv series is very different from filming a movie—logistically, financially... And also, she IS an A-list star right now. Doing a TV movie would be bad for her career. Can we recognize a…

Agreed. I find her mildly annoying, but credit where credit is due. She’s been extremely vocal about the DAPL protests and indigenous rights, something few celebrities and sadly fewer politicians seem to give a shit about. That's worth overlooking her weird health ideas and perceived snubbing of tv, as far as I'm…

Allegiant was SUCH A TERRIBLE book that when FOUR came out all I could do was roll my eyes at it.

Yes thank you - this is what I got out of this. It’s like getting a project assignment at any job, agreeing to the terms and conditions with your boss, and then somewhere down the line your boss completely changes the parameters (schedule, expectations, etc.) - and in this case they didn’t even seem to bother to let…

It seems like signing on to do a franchise move is a double edged sword. It can catapult you into stardom but if the movies start to suffer, lose their larger audience you are still contractually obligated to show up.

I don’t think she’s knocking TV as a medium—she’s appearing in an HBO limited series this fall (“Big Little Lies”). She’s saying that she contracted to do this particular project for film and isn’t necessarily up for it now changing to TV (which requires a different type of shooting schedule, etc.).

Ya know what? I’m not going to blame her for dodging this particular bullet. This seems like a franchise with dwindling interest and the TV show seems like a weird effort to keep the ship afloat. And she's already done like three of this things! The idea of doing an entire TV show after that many films has gotta seem…

“I didn’t sign up to be on a television show”

Too busy sunning her vag? Eating clay? I’d be willing to bet $10 that in 5 years she’s on some laugh tracked TV show anyway.

tbf

She was a untalented tv actress on show on a off brand network. Who had one turn in one good movie. I don’t know, why she’s acting like this. Girl, get it together.

It’s the Tao of Jeah!

Rachel Maddow should have gotten this gig. And if Trump tried to weasel out, they should have blasted that fact loud and clear until he had to cave. She is smart, tough, and up to date on military and veterans issues.

If you get outsmarted by Ryan Lochte, would still be smart enough to realize you’re an idiot?

Shit, I’d much rather have B-Wills back than Matt Lauer. Brian Williams at least had some sort of ability to work as a journalist-as long as he wasn’t talking about himself, which shouldn’t be a big part of journalism anyway.
