Whenever I'm really enjoying a Drama like #CDrama 'Fake It Till You Make It", I get nervous nearing the end: "Will it stick the landing?" It did & gave me the rare treat continually upping it's score its score right to the end, finishing on 10.25/10 - SMART dialog, sweet, stunning chemistry between 2 skilled leads, the bonus is for the perfectly grounded feelgood realism of the very end. It's also seen #CDrama move from 4th to 2nd in my average ratings, bumping #KDrama into 3rd
I wonder, are dubs licensed differently compared to the original Japanese cast on Anime shows? Like I have found a few shows now on HIDIVE that have English dubs and the same show are on Crunchy Roll but with no dubs, or is Crunchy Roll just dropping the ball here?
Today at PyCon US lunch, for the first time I met other people IRL (two people) who also watched the kdrama The Glory on Netflix and that made me so happy 😊 #PyConUS#kdrama
@AnnaAnthro Probably on purpose because he likes trying different things and I think also he doesn’t want to be pigeonholed. So it’s very on-brand for him to do Something Completely Different for what’s essentially a comeback role.
I think he’ll be the lead in a romantic comedy sageuk set to air later this year, which is a little more conventional, for him.
"Baby Reindeer" is a massive hit for Netflix, and its creator and star, Richard Gadd, is now grappling with fame, a loss of anonymity, and criticisms that he failed to protect the identity of his alleged stalker. He talked to the Hollywood Reporter about how he became a performer, his early failures, and how he feels about internet sleuths. Have you watched the series? What did you think?
I need more recs for happy, found family, make-you-smile-and-warm-your-heart type of dramas. I don't mind murder and chaos as long as my people have a happy ending. Recent likes have been #BlossomsInAdversity, #StoryOfKunningPalace, I also liked #JoyOfLife & #MeetYourself.
Got to troubleshoot #AppleTV tomorrow. First dad says he can’t turn TV ON (Siri remote). I turn it on via my iPhone’s Apple TV remote. I look at settings to see battery status but it shows remote not connected. So I plug Siri remote to charge. Was going to try to restart it & re-pair it after. I remind him of how to use his iPhone as remote. Then he keeps calling me that he can’t turn the TV OFF. Every time I turn it OFF with my phone it comes back ON by itself shortly after. Had to unplug it!
Kind of crazy to have two separate issues after zero issues for 3 years. Wonder if either an iOS update or an LG update broke HDMI-CEC. The LG is basically a monitor, no cable here. Or could the two issues be related? Hopefully I can figure it out.
If you don't know who Roger Corman is, you owe it to yourself to seek out as many of his movies as you can. Most of them are on #tubi and other free apps. His death means there are going to be marathons. Seek them out and enjoy. 😎
Die Animationserie läuft auf #AmazonPrime und #TPB. An einer vierten und fünften Staffel wird offenbar bereits gearbeitet
"While a third season has been publicly announced, SAG-AFTRA production listings also state that fourth and fifth seasons of The Legend of Vox Machina are in development"
It's all systems go for a new series set in the same universe as "The Office." Variety reports that a mockumentary set at a dying historic Midwestern newspaper, ostensibly shot by the crew that immortalized Dunder Mifflin, has been picked up for a full series at Peacock. Here's more:
@AnnaAnthro what?! Plagiarism? I think there is a HUGE difference between using something as inspiration and plagiarizing content. Gilchae didn't fall down the stairs. She didn't use emerald green curtains. No Aunt PittyPat with ridiculous curls. Rhett was not used as target practice nor was there a Northern princess trying to get in his pants.
Yes, story beats are similar, but that is NOT plagiarism!
The oldest entry on IndieWire's list of the best teen dramas was first broadcast in 1979, but the majority of shows that made the cut are from after 2000, when there was a huge boom in the genre. Here's the magazine's ranking of 42 shows. Which do you think came in at No. 1? Take a look at the list after you've voted and tell us if you think they got it right.
@RVLara23 "My So-Called Life" was the first show we thought of when we saw the title of the article — probably because we watched it when we were actual teens rather than hungover students (ahem, "The O.C.").
Amazon Prime Video subscribers are about to see even more ads. In January, viewers who didn't pay an additional $3 a month started to see commercials. Now, Amazon has announced that it's adding what it describes as shoppable carousel ads, interactive pause ads and interactive brand trivia ads. Here's more from Ars Technica. We want to know, have you, or will you ditch streaming services as they start to add commercials?
Streaming services that have added ads had better watch their backs: 52% of the people who voted in this poll say they've already dropped a provider because of ads and 36% say they're considering it. Some respondents cited the speedy delivery services as a reason to keep Prime. However, @FediThing points out that Amazon has started charging extra for that in some countries (for example, if you spend under £20 on an order in the U.K., you'll need to pay £1.99 for same-day delivery), so keep an eye on your bills.
Post-holiday Tuesday blues got you down?
Check out my latest blog post where I share some of my favorite stress-relief TV shows that have been absolute lifesavers for me. 📺
ps. Sending you virtual hugs friends! 🤗
@BeautifulSunPhotography 😀 Let me know if you watch any of them and if you liked it! Funny thing, today I opened the sub CasualUK on Reddit, and there was a photo of David Attenborough just before I saw the title announcing his birthday. I almost had a heart attack, I thought he had passed away. He turned 98! Sir David is truly a world treasure!
I laughed out loud at seeing that the top edit on wikipedia was the #kdrama actor best known for playing villains so nasty that an elderly ajuma once hit him on the head with her purse at a restaurant.
Watch The Glory or Queen of Tears on Netflix to see him plot & scheme!
@AnnaAnthro I don’t know that he’s The Worst (probably isn’t, in fact), but the first that comes to my mind in Shin Seon-rok in The King’s Face. He’s forever tainted for me. I started watching The Last Empress right after this and couldn’t get past 10 minutes in the 2nd episode because I was still seeing red with fury!
But yeah. I have yet to stand I’m in anything. Because of that one role. HATED that character!
@bougiewonderland wasn’t he also the meany business man in My Love From A Star?!
I read somewhere that his nasty screen personas are completely different from who he really is. Apparently his big love is performing in musical theatre!
