just watched gen V episodes 1-3, lets go opinions nobody asked for!!

I'm all in. It may be my black girl mc bias, but I am deeply invested.

I was really not into The Boys. The color-grading, bleak outlook on humanity, and six millionth deconstruction of superman all felt stale to me, and I wasn't a fan of incels recieving new ammo, no matter how satirical it was.

Watching Gen V though made me honestly want to give it another chance.

My one criticism is the criticism I have with most mainstream film, which is the lack of subtlety. There is a bigender character, a schizophrenic character, and a character with an ED in this show, and that is not even the half of it. I would appreciate this more if the show would talk directly to those audiences instead of seemingly spending the whole show adding footnotes explaining those concepts to the general public. But I can let this slide because a foot in the door is a foot in the door and we really need that right now.

Meta aside, oh my GOD this story. I have never been so invested in my life.

Andre and Cate haven't really grabbed me emotionally, but they're both acted so well that i'm intrigued anyways.

Jordan is really fun for me because she has a story outside of her gender. He's really direct and cool and is the exact character archetype I catch feelings for in media. He's also played by TWO actors who have blended their performances so well that I kept forgetting they were separate people.

Marie, Emma, and Sam are so perfect I could probably write dissertations on them, but for now I will settle for saying Waterworld is almost definitely foreshadowing, and if it's not it's a metaphor.

The DEAN is such good writing. They casted an actress who played a loving mother in bridgerton to be a sneak-attack villain, and I haven't seen such a good twist of expectations since Chris Evans in Knives Out.

idk i never know how to end these that's all I got.

What are your favorite fictional couples? Besides Marie/Jordan

alright, doing this rapid fire bc there’s a LOT on my list and i’m already sure i forgot some…

percabeth—riordanverse, naley—one tree hill, literati—gilmore girls (yes, i am a team jess girlie), kataang—avatar: the last airbender, twiyor—spy x family (i cannot believe i left them off my tv show romance recs consider this me adding them in retrospectively), EVERLARK—the hunger games (y’all don’t know about my obsession with the hunger games…it runs DEEP), slexie—grey’s anatomy (i legit stopped watching when they died), KANEJ—six of crows (never speak to me about that show…), SHIRBERT—anne with an e (diana WHAT LETTER changed my life), herongraystairs—the infernal devices (c*ssandra clare sucks but this series changed my life), fitzsimmons—agents of shield, kanthony—bridgerton, samcedes, tike, brittana—glee, shoni—the wilds

this list is already too long so i’ll stop here before i embarrass myself 😭

hiiii <3 big ask big answer is what i'm expecting would LOVE to know your top 5/faves across various media that are new(in release or just new to you) this year! so: shows, movies, games, books, songs/albums, new artists you've discovered etc

OMG AAAAA I LOVE THIS ASK

brief comment i wanted to make, but this was the year i finally took control of my mental health and went to go see someone about it so congratulations to me for finally breaking down the wall of "im fine" and allowing myself to admit that i could use some help. that aside, lets get into it! beware, possible spoilers

MOVIES

1. Nope (dir. Jordan Peele) - this movie surprised me so much and reflects a LOT of my views on performative/spectacle-like behavior in front of the Camera and the effects things like hollywood or social media could potentially have on people...not going to get into that but i just liked the movie alot okay

2. X (dir. Ti West) - love me some camp. love mia goth. i also really liked Pearl and cannot WAIT for MaXXXine, i am so ready

3. Cruel Intentions (dir. Roger Kumble) - i dont think 2022 was the first year i watched Cruel Intentions but everytime i watch it, it feels like something brand new...i am so compelled to read the book that its based on like seriously

4. Turning Red (dir. Domee Shi) - this is the only Disney movie that exists to me...the mother-daughter relationship portrayed here is just so personal

5. Kiki’s Delivery Service (dir. Hayao Miyazaki) - yeah im extremely late to watching this lol. i watched literally every other ghibli film growing up but somehow, in some way, skipped over Kiki. so i watched it over the summer as an adult and needless to say...yeah i missed out as a kid asjashd

6. American Psycho (dir. Mary Harron) - this is the funniest film ive seen this whole year. im not even kidding

TV SHOWS

1. Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul - never thought id enjoy a show about a middle-aged white male turning to meth production to make ends meet and becoming the most annoying character ever created, but here we are. loved it, and literally EVERYONE around walt deserved so much better (jesse, gus, johnny/saul, mike, skylar, marie, hank)

2. Ranma 1/2 - ive taken a break from watching new anime this year and started diving into older ones. i love ranma simply bc its a bit ahead of its time and is just so easy to digest. just a fun little show!!! a great way to take my mind off of shit

3. The Sandman - just found out recently that this was a DC comic so congrats to DC for successfully infiltrating my anti-superhero visual barrier LOL. anyways i am in dire NEED of the next season

4. You - PENN BADGLEY. thats all im going to say. im a huge fan of Gossip Girl (2007) and as soon as i saw him playing the lead character i RAN to watch the first season when it dropped. was not disappointed

5. The Witcher - ive never played the game lol but the show is so good...im not a fan of GoT (and therefore will never watch HotD) so this show p much fills the dark fantasy void for me

6. Bridgerton - im so glad i got over my weird distaste and finally gave this show a try...i see the hype, i see it!! and the show itself is so beautiful to look at, despite being historically innacurate or whatever

7. Gossip Girl (2007) - ive watched and rewatched this show a grand total of maybe like....20 times in my life total. rewatched it again this year. all six seasons. it never gets old despite being the most ridiculous insipid shit ever. im also currently watching the new version, and while i love the cast and maybe the soundtrack, it doesnt match up to the campy and fun vibe that the first one had. it takes itself way too seriously and the plot is almost nonexistent lol

but anyway, lets move on to music!! im skipping over books bc i have currently finished NONE from the book haul i had back in october.

MUSIC

just gonna list out a bunch of songs that have carried me thru the last half of this year :]

ass like that victoria monet / bang (my body) chase icon / meta angel fka twigs / wish i never kehlani / king for a day pierce the veil, kellin quinn / pass the nirvana pierce the veil / antagonist nova twins / gibson girl ethel cain / like a tattoo sade / the perfect pair beabadoobee / so it goes tamino / daybreak’s bell l’arc-en-ciel / colors flow / distant tevomxntana, cayo / grapefruit tove lo

sorry if this is extremely long. thanks for asking!!!!!! ❤️

Do you see any similarities between Jordayla and other couples from different tv shows or movies? Do you think the writers take inspiration from other couples when writing for Jordayla?

Love this question. Of all the pairings across the shows, they're the most rom com to me, so I absolutely do.

Here's something fun... at least to me. I had JUST watched While You Were Sleeping the day before 4x07 aired. As you might imagine, I freaked out. That movie is in my top 3 ever, so the LEANING THING?? Dead.

I also see a bit of When Harry Met Sally. Phone scene in bed has got to be something, right? That just screams rom com. And the scenes of them silly together, like the "paprikesh" and "Leylani" scenes. Also one of my top 3 movies, so there ya go.

I think Jordan confessing to Layla that he tried to get rid of his feelings in 4x19 is a slight nod to Pacey's declaration in Dawson's Creek ep 3x19 when he says, "It is tearing me up inside to have these feelings for you. But I can't get rid of 'em." There's a lot of Pacey Witter in Jordan to me. And I do personally believe NK was thinking of poey when she was plotting jordayla.

The "I know that you know" line to JJ in 5x05 is absolutely a wink to "they don't know that we know they know" in the whole Chandler and Monica secret dating saga in Friends.

The 8 facial expressions absolutely is a callback to Win a Date With Tad Hamilton and the number of smiles. And of course the 10 Thing I Hate About You actual callout. What I didn't realize until I watched @edaserkqn's brilliant rom com edit on twitter is that the line "I'd rather fight with you than love anyone else," is from The Wedding Date?? Amazing. Laura and Billy must've been a fan of that one, too.

I mean, in true childhood friends to lovers fashion, I see a little bit of Colin and Penelope, from both the books and the show. Colin's and Jordan's self-doubt masked by bravado are pretty similar, and Penelope and Layla have always wanted to be a Bridgerton and Baker respectively.

Also, the "when I am with you, I feel like I'm home," is very Dory in Finding Nemo, and that's pretty adorable. I know that's not a rom com, but still.

I'm sure I'm missing some connections. But based on what I've personally watched, those are the most prevalent. And as rom com as jordayla is with all the various references, it's also a very fresh, compelling ship that's fun and unpredictable.

I finally got around to watching Bridgerton and my God Anthony and Kate are so goddamn Jordan/Declan coded

The Queens Ball : A Bridgerton Experience

A to die for time and place to be. If you are lucky enough to get your hands on a set of tickets to the ball. I suggest you arrive early, for every photo opportunity possible. The moment the Queen arrives stop what you're doing and head into the line to curtsy for her majesty. Grab your drink loosen up because it is time to dance. Be prepared to meet some new people as we all learn some regale dance moves. Watch out for the lovers, as they spice up the dance floor and have the audience oozing with lust. Above all remember you are now apart of the Ton and there is a way to be seen. It's time to get pretty, remember your manners and if nothing else fall in love.

Yours Truly, Lady Jordan Cranberryton

I simply can’t wait for the Featheringtons to eat their words when Penelope marries Colin

unrecommending you Sixteen Scandals by Sophie Jordan — i bought this book. the full priced, beautiful hardcover, with promising book jacket ! and ,,, i wanted to like this story so bad, but it reads like a thirteen year old’s bridgerton self insert. which is fine, if it hadn’t been in the adult section of the book store ?? marketed beside the dramatic romances ? the characters would be like-able, but the plot moves so quickly, from a pub to bear wrestling to kissing in the bushes, that ?? you can’t keep up. the bear wrestling really comes out of left field and ??? it unfortunately is the one bit of the book that has stuck with me, like what was she trying to say ? then they make out, after the bear wrestling ??? is that normal ? it references John Hughes’ classic only in name, and leaves you wishing you did spend the afternoon watching Sixteen Candles. which is a total bummer, because the story beats in SC are timeless ! and would have translated into a good regency story, but no ! this book is overall a bad case of good idea, bad execution. great cover though. 2/10

noooooo!!!!!!! oh my god it sounds so PROMISING. bear wrestling!!! oh i'm so upset. I hate when a book is full of potential and especially when it's GORGEOUS and then just fails, over and over. also sounds like that book store has gotta shelve better

LSex scenes can convince audiences of a glamorous narrative, but the reality is often very, very embarrassing. The art of the sex scene has been revolutionized in recent years, with in-demand intimacy trainers choreographing every move and ensuring the safety of the performers. However, the awkwardness of doing a sex scene still lingers, and most actors will agree that simulating sex is one of the most difficult tasks in the profession. And the aftermath of embarrassment and nervousness is almost inevitable. The hot sex scenes that the public sees from the comfort of their seats in the cinema have little to do with the reality experienced by the actors who star in them, but are helped with elements ranging from "vaginal pads", to demure stockings and, as Paul Mescal has revealed, a special body gel to mimic sweat. The latest TV hits euphoria, Bridgerton Y normal peopleThey have a lot of sex scenes. But how do the actors react when they remember the shooting of the scenes or when they see them for the first time? Here are eight scenes that give even the actors the shivers: margot robbie Margot Robbie and Leonardo DiCaprio performed a sex scene on a bed of money in 'The Wolf of Wall Street' (Getty Images) the star of The Wolf of Wall StreetMargot Robbie was so embarrassed by the sex scenes that she lied to her parents that it was CGI. In one of the scenes, her character, Naomi Lapaglia, has sex with the film's protagonist, Jordan Belfort (Leonardo DiCaprio), on a bed covered in dollar bills. “I just lied to my family for a long time and said, 'I don't care what you hear; I didn't do nude scenes; I will not do any nude scenes. Ignore everything others say; there is no nudity”, he confessed to hollywoodreporter. "And then I thought, 'The movie is going to be released and they're going to see there's nudity,' so I changed that to, 'It's actually a body double and they just put my CGI head on someone else.'" "My family has nothing to do with the entertainment industry ... and they said, 'Can you do that?' And I said, 'Oh, today's technology. You can't imagine what they do in Hollywood.'” Paul Mescal Paul Mescal and Daisy Edgar Jones in 'Normal People' (BBC/Element Pictures/Hulu) protagonist of normal people As Connell opposite Daisy Edgar-Jones, Mescal had some funny and awkward moments on the set of the series. "On Friday of the first week, Daisy and I had to do a day of sex scenes and we were covered in this gel called Egyptian Magic." “It's basically fake sweat. We had to change position and our bodies were in close contact." “When we parted ways, he made a really loud fart noise. Daisy and I started laughing hysterically, but the crew and director thought one of us had farted and they were really trying hard to preserve our dignity," Mescal said. The Mirror. amanda seyfried Amanda Seyfried played Sarah Hendrickson on the series 'Big Love' in 2006 (Getty Images) After the star Mean GirlsAmanda Seyfriend will play the eldest daughter, Sarah Hendrickson, in the 2008 HBO series, Big Loverewatched the episodes with her parents and was horrified when her sex scene finally came through. “I was sitting watching and all of a sudden it would cut to a scene where two people were having sex, and it was me! having sex! I thought, 'No, no, no!'” she said to The Telegraph. “It was much more explicit than I remembered. She was horrified”. Jemima Kirke Jemima Kirke played Jessa Johansson in the HBO series 'Girls' (HBO) To the star of the television series GirlsJemima Kirke found performing an orgasm extremely embarrassing, but seeing it again made her proud when it premiered in 2012, she says. “When I do it myself, on set, and I'm having a real orgasm… not 'real,' but how I know it sounds in real life, because I don't know how to fake it… I'm embarrassed in front of the cameraman. It is shameful". "For some reason, when it's on TV, I'm proud of it as part of my job," she said. HuffPost.

Christopher Mintz Plasse Christopher Mintz-Plasse was 17 when he starred in 'Superbad' (Columbia Pictures) Actor Christopher Mintz-Plasse, who played Fogell (also known as McLovin) in the Jonah Hill film super badshot his sex scene while his mother was present, because he was only 17 years old at the time of the premiere in 2007. “It's definitely awkward, I was a virgin at the time so I had no idea what I was doing. I was very nervous, very scared, and I look over to the behind-the-scenes area and my mom is eating a handful of popcorn and talking to the producers. It was very surreal." said Plasse on The Rich Eisen Show. dakota johnson Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan in 'Fifty Shades' (Universal Pictures/Kobal/Shutterstock) In the film Fifty Shades of Gray, 20 of the 125 minute duration are sex-only scenes. And although Dakota Johnson has starred in a good number of sex scenes during the trilogy of Fifty shadesdeclared in an interview for Interview Magazinet They are "not comfortable". “It's pretty tedious. I've been simulating sex for seven hours straight right now, and I'm not that excited about it." Johnson said she felt very embarrassed after suffering whiplash during one scene. “I once got whiplash when he [Jamie Dornan] he threw me on the bed; so f*cking painful,” she told Glamor Magazine. Kate Winslet (Getty Images) the star of titanicaKate Winslet did sex scenes with Leonardo DiCaprio for the 2008 film Revolutionary Roadwhich she has recounted as uncomfortable, because her husband Sam Mendes was the director. "He kept saying, 'This is too...weird,'" said Winslet, 32. “And Leo was like, 'Oh, relax.' And I was like, 'Yeah, a little reminder: you're my best friend. He is my husband. This is a bit weird." Annabelle Wallis Annabelle Wallis saw her sex scene in 'Peaky Blinders' next to her parents (Getty) Grace Shelby of Peaky Blinders, like many stars, found watching the sex scene while with her parents to be an uncomfortable experience. "I was in a sex scene," she explained in The Graham Norton Show. "See her with [mis padres] it was very awkward and then my dad was like, 'Well, we know where you got it from! Congratulations!'".
