LoL! To be fair—I guess, the 1979 film ends on a much more upbeat note than the book, I recall! Although, I read The Thorn Birds before the mini-series and then twice afterwards...plus, the The Ladies of Missalonghi...two of my favorites, so I might be a bit more forgiving...no, you’re right. Colleen baby,…

I’ve no doubt. I’m not a man, Italian or white...and yet, so many times I was lulled into loving Tony, until just about every episode I was slapped back into realizing how awful he was. Whether it was Meadow’s boyfriend, what happened during Meadow’s college visit or when he murdered my favorite character...

I only follow them on here...but, someone, I wish I could remember who, pegged it as such. The Windsor/Markle union will last 5 years with children, 3 without...I’m inclined to believe it!

Plus, what would be the optics in 2018 saying no to his Black, American fiancee when there’s been so much shaded racism and bigotry sent Markle’s way. The Queen is pretty media savvy even in her old age...

Because she doesn’t look like Olivia Munn?

I agree about Carmela. However, I think in terms of the audience...some of them didn’t get it. They just saw her as a nagging bitch and Tony as a sort of ideal wise guy. No nuance. I am a fan, thru and thru...however, some of the fan base were pro Tony being a racist to Meadow’s Black/Jewish boyfriend or couldn’t wrap…

Eh...maybe. On one hand you have everyone from Tatum O’Neill to Jennifer Hudson, who were ingenues...but, then they also love a veteran actress like Judi Dench or Viola Davis. Plus, throw in Octavia Spencer and Juliette Binoche who were floating the 30ish-40 and its pretty diverse age wise. I have never seen the…

LoL! That TRULY is my fear. I’m sometimes torn on these things. For example, would WW have been good, if Patty Jenkins as a woman, didn’t get how this female character NEEDED to be done and presented? She was able to rise above the script with great direction.

No. I love Madonna. I love Micheala Deprince...I just feel that I would rather have a Black woman direct this...Ava Duvernay, Rungano Nyoni, etc. These ladies are Oscar nominated and BAFTA winning, respectively, and would take ‘care’ in terms of Deprince’s story, I believe. I don’t think Madonna has the talent nor the…

To be fair, she has won an Oscar. Plus, from the little bit I’ve read about the film, she’s good, the film is not so much.

Also, I’m NO fan of Fox or this administration, but to just chalk her up to just being on Fox is unfair.I’m not saying she’s a great candidate...but, I feel like there’s a lack of nuance here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heather_Nauert

I will say that I am glad that they cast a Black actress to play her at least. Instead of spray tanning someone white. Although, the fact that the actor playing Kate Middleton IS spraytanned and not her usual pale skin...makes me think that they are going to sorta’ gloss over Markle’s ethnicity. When all four of them…

And the shoes. Those are just gorgeous.

Oh, honey. You must be white. Black people, even the biracial ones, know that that just gets them tolerated, not respected. See also, Meghan Markle.

Well, if that doesn’t pan out, what do you think about world relief work. Sokovia is still in need...although Miriam (Alfre Woodard) would probably try to convince you otherwise.

That is super tacky! It all looks so Dollar Tree (and I shop there!).

Well...she did marry a gorgeous soccer god and glamour model! Plus, her designs are wonderful, in my opinion. Also again, my opinion, the only one who could actually sing and brought originality beyond the group, was Melanie Chisolm.

Ryan O’Reily 4EVA...although, Gloria, he KILLED your husband!

Oh honey, if you want that...watch Tsunami: The Aftermath with Chiwetel Ejiofor and Sophie Okonoda...no slavery, but that poor little baby girl. I cried.

Folgers is solid. It’s the Ivory soap, Olay and Reebok of coffee. Never going to be high end (no matter what advertising gimmicks they try), but you know it will never induce a WTF? is this reaction.
