Sean Astin has an essentially non-speaking cameo in Gloria Bell as a guy Julianne Moore hooks up with for a night in Vegas. I had to chuckle.

This was more exciting than any episode of Empire

Looks like the Oscars are going without a host next year too. With how smooth the ceremony went this year, there's really no need to ever have one again. You cut out a lot of the fat that way.

It's fascinating to have the prosecuting attorney say she kept the bond and is having him continue doing his community service b/c that's all a judge would give him if he's convicted anyway...that's a plea deal I haven't see in awhile - "pay us off and we'll let you go with nothing on the record" - I'm not sure the Chicago PD are fans of it...

Excited for us to never talk about Jussie Smollett ever again.

You know this whole college scandal, I mean who the f*ck pays that much for USC. It's not even a real school.

 

Yale I can understand somewhat even though they sullied my alma mater. Thank god MIT is not involved in this business. They have enough of an issue with it being a sausage fest admissions.

Homeland has reached the Smallville point of "That show is still on?"

Hey now (I can't say I disagree with you though ).

And yet, not even a Remy Zero theme to justify its ongoing existence.

Only people who buy banks go to real colleges.

Showtime loves to keep shows on forever. Shameless is another one.

Poor Dexter went 8 seasons when it should’ve ended after 4.

A Herdeira was the last popular soap around my circles. Some people talk about A Teia, but nowadays it's mostly just The Farmer Wants A Wife that they care about when it comes to Portuguese shows. I think soaps are generally dying tbh, but we'll see. That writer is coming back in May with A Prisioneira, starring my eternal crush Joana Ribeiro, so we'll see if that thing revives TVI's primetime.

 

Yeah, it's called Maria Madalena and it's basically a Mexican/Chillean/whatever soap horribly dubbed in Brazilian that TVI bought at the last minute to boost the 2PM numbers   Remédio Santo was there and it was bombing baaaaad against SIC's Mar Salgado, but hilariously, Maria Madalena hardly does much better. Tbh, I get the idea (bring in something that had never been aired before + Portugal is a religious country and all) and I feel like the lack of promotion killed its potential a bit, but still, it would've been a lot easier and 100% cheaper to just bring back an old classic from the vault instead.

Just repeat Ninguém Como Tu again. People will watch it again and love it again. Move on with the two seasons of Jardins Proibidos, Ilha dos Amores, Olhos de Água, Anjo Selvagem, Dei-te Quase Tudo and Mundo Meu. 

 

Or pull Belmonte from the vault and witness people lose their shit with the ending again.

 

Or air Ninguém Como Tu until the end of times and somehow still win every day at 2 PM after the 7th repeat. Greatest soap ever.

 

Just avoid spending money in a dubbed Mexican soap when you have decades of soaps to repeat, it is fucking dumb.

They better not keep Black Monday on forever. It's bad enough they already previously trapped Don Cheadle in a series that nobody liked (House of Lies) for years. Free him and fellow legends Andrew Rannells and Regina Hall to find better projects.

Now I’m reminded of how bad the last season of Dexter was. I’m sad.

Maybe even 2 (or the third one being about him getting caught)

[filmlover]

Dexter is the only show I can remember where I watched it each week for several seasons and then gave up on it completely.
