I DON'T GIVE A CRAP WHAT SHE BELIEVES THE HARRY POTTER BOOKS CHANGED MY LIFE #HUFFLEPUFF

HootTheOwl posted:

I thought she said something about Israel Palestine and this is spiraling from there

There's really a lot of things. The biggest was probably walking for the writer's strike. Which is good, but probably cost her.

Also she didn't just pop off about Israel and Palestine but did so in a way which evoked Jeopardy verbiage which they probably did not love. Also the Jeopardy nerds preferred Ken and the olds didn't seem to care either way so she wasn't really bringing anything extra. I'm also sure she was more expensive than Ken. The anti-vax stuff. It's just stupid to have two hosts. And rumor has it that Jeopardy didn't want her in the first place but she was foisted on them by the studio. And she was just not very good at it either.

So everything together it probably was just a matter of time.

Last time I saw Fiddler was the movie of it when I was maybe 12?? so I had missed / forgotten some details, like that daughter #2's suitor is a Communist who ends the show in prison in Siberia for doing revolution. At no point is he depicted as dumb or wrong about anything and his work is referred to multiple times as "the most important work a man can do" so in conclusion I would describe Fiddler On The Roof as communist literature, thank you

Fiddler on the Roof is the story of a conservative jew being pushed further and further left by his kids.

i know i'm like 60 years late. yet somehow i've never actually listened to a david bowie album in full before (mostly only radio play songs on class rock stations or w/e) and recently my partner is getting really into vinyl with a record player (lolll) and just brought home the Ziggy Stardust album, and god drat it's really really good.

whatever demerits the dude had (and there were a lot), he was a really loving good musician holy hell

I saw it a month or so back, I think it's "when the mom is in Evil Mode she just snaps it at him and we never see the results and the character doesn't really speak for the rest of the film". It feels like the sort of thing where a scene got cut.

In real life? They smooth over d.v incidents, break up drunken fights and make sure people wear their seatbelts driving around camp, that's about it. One time a fellow airman [tw: sexual assault] sexually assaulted me and they sent some kind of higher-up plain clothes investigator for that.

so Cobwebs meets Talk to Me. also they're showing too much of the monster in the trailer. I'm getting Demeter vibes, which was awful


they mentioned a producer from It. I completely forgot about chapter 2 so I recently watched it. there's multiple parts that start off understated and creepy and then BAM cartoon monster. it's weird.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ud6oW2AwxFg

i nearly burst out laughing at how ridiculous the monster looked and youre right its weird as hell because it was a great scene right until the monster showed up

wasnt this a big league highly anticipated movie how did they not have the budget to do that right

Ken's just better at the job than she was. He's charismatic and has a good report with the contestants on top of being a Jeopardy! legend. Whereas Mayim was never really liked and has a sort of forced lizard-person demeanor. I never got why they kept her around for so long when everyone clearly liked Ken better.

It's actually kind of incredible how badly they botched the whole Jeopardy host thing. They knew Trebek had cancer for a long time you'd think they could have handled it better.

Mayim instead of LeVar was an odd choice considering how eminently likable the latter is and how not the former is.

I don't really understand what the draw is. The point of her character on Big Bang Theory is that she's not likeable, and if anything, her off-screen personality seems worse.
