The Borgias Guilty Pleasure #16: "All things are permissible in our dreams." - Giulia Farnese
 

The OP is still Under Construction (or something)

TFTNT Alex! And thanks for using my quote :hug:

Have you seen all the Flowers in the Attic movies?

tftnt, ALex! :hug:

You're welcome, Arinna! :hug:

You're welcome, Lila! :hug: Well, I saw the original Flowers In The Attic movie from 1987, and the first three Lifetime TV movies, but I didn't see the fourth one, Seeds of Yesterday. I read the books and I knew how the story ended, so I wasn't interested in the last one. :cry:

I've watched them all.

Then you know why I skipped the last one, Arinna. :(

Yeah...

I wish I had, Alex :bawl:

:hug:

I'd have told you in advance if you'd asked me, but I don't think you were here yet. :blush:

Yeah, I preferred how things ended with Chris and Cathy in If There Be Thorns. I really didn't think Seeds of Yesterday was necessary. V.C. Andrews didn't write Seeds, it was pieced together from manuscripts left behind after her death by a ghost writer, who finished the rest. V.C. Andrews only wrote Flowers In The Attic, Petals On The Wind, and If There Be Thorns... before she died.

I wonder if she would've approved of that awful ending :( and I agree that Seeds of Yesterday was unnecessary. Like the Borgia Apocalypse, it destroyed everything.

I've watched it... and only the first half. :lol:

My perverse curious nature made me watch it all :lol: and now, I wish that I could unsee it :cry:

I have no idea, but that whole thing with Cathy dying up in the attic and Chris dying the same way their father died, getting struck by a car... well, it does seem like some "full circle" thing a writer might do.

Create something just to destroy it, how sad. It's a kind of righteous moralism which says, "I don't agree with your morals, so you need to be punished". It makes me want to slap the arrogance right out of them :punch:

Yeah, well that's why I prefer to stick to the first three books. :lol: If it were me, I'd have ended with that and not done Seeds at all.

Empress Ki and Togon Temur

Thanks for that, Barbara. :) I think Lila and Arinna might know that show.


I'm still waiting for a new ship.

I was trying to post a pic of the couple, but it links to a website instead,

Yeah, I noticed. It's annoying when websites are difficult. :(

Idk much about Korean culture and the only Korean thing I’ve watched is the movie, Parasite . Their culture perplexes me :shrug:

Oh, okay. :blush: I think it's Arinna then.

What perplexes you about the culture Lila ?
Empress Ki was Korean, but her husband was from the Yuan dynasty so it's not just about Korean culture.
Empress Ki was the first and only Korean show I have watched. I didn't even heard about her before I discovered this show.

Was Parasite good ?

Parasite was really good, but disturbingly brutal in showing how the poor are treated as subhuman in a culture sharply divided by class.

I've never watched anything Korean. Just Japanese and Hong Kong stuff.

Hwarang is not actually that brutal. Is a pure historic movie.
