No matter how many times I watch it, The Terminator seems to get better each and every time. Aside from perhaps Aliens, Cameron never came close to capturing the same crazy energy, urgency and efficiency this one possesses.

 

I might argue that because Cameron had so little money to work with making Terminator, he could not depend on fancy effects, he had to make the story and charecters work. Still think the charecters in Terminator are the best written and most memorable of any Cameron film.

Huh. I didn't know Sofia Coppola got divorced. And she got divorced from the director of Her, Spike Jonze.

Her and Lost in Translation compliment each other.

On Disney+ today the second thing that popped up on the front page was Captain Marvel with the byline "Celebrate International Women's Day." They get it right @Cap?

@CJohn The new RAP show on SIC is a behemoth. Second week in a row at over 16% rating and just short of 30% share this time.

 

The new Bárbara Guimarães show started off solid as well (12.9% / 26.7%), but reception seems mixed. Dancing With The Stars is a flop (it finished 3rd this week behind Bárbara Guimarães and Got Talent, and it's not the 1st time that's happened), so its lead won't be threatened until the 22nd, but I think Big Brother will come in stronger than expected with this little freebie by SIC. TVI is putting all their eggs on the BB basket... for their sake, it better work.

Could have added The Exorcist there.

TVI dies on the March 21-March 23 period. Nuno Santos is all in on that period with the DWTS finale, BB2020 premiere and Quer o Destino premiere. 

 

BB2020 will lose to RAP. It might lead after that ends but still.

Yeah, that 3 day stretch will truly be do or die for them.

 

I think Dancing finale could pull its best result, but I don't see more than 10% rating tops as a lot of shows lately have flopped when put outside of their regular schedules (like Mental Samurai, which does well on Saturdays but is a total flop on Fridays). A Árvore dos Desejos S2 premiere was a huge letdown though (it led, but it fought strong competition in the Festival da Canção finale and the Mental Samurai S3 premiere and came in way lower than expected), so competition won't be too strong, but I don't forget that DWTS is not much stronger than Mental Samurai and we don't know how Árvore performs like under normal circumstances.

 

Big Brother I have no fucking idea apart from "it loses to RAP and then wins after that". It could either go the Kitchen Nightmares way and breakout, or it could be a total letdown. Marketing has been meh, really, and Cláudio Ramos generated buzz but he's not a good host, nor is he particularly popular. I say... I dunno, maybe 13% for the premiere and then the rest depends on crowd adhesion.

 

Quer o Destino will maybe breach 10% rating / 20-22% share on premiere, go down to maybe 9% / 19% and that's about as good as it can hope for. It should aspire for nothing else than improve Na Corda Bamba's results, which shouldn't be difficult, but the TVI soap floppage has continually surprised me in the last few months so who knows.

It's a classic, but T2 is the best action movie ever.

Terminator 2 is timeless.
