bringing this over

Thanks for the new thread

^^ Allison to answer your question from the previous thread, I watched Gilmore Girls on and off. Did not see season 1 all the way through, and only started finding the show interesting when Milo came on

And thanks for your understanding in our PMs lucky to have a co-mod as kind as you

Have you seen the Harry Potter reunion trailer?

What do you think of JK Rowling's absence? I'll probably say more in the thread later

atwoodsmariano

that’s understandable

Milo is a big draw for viewers

I know they there’s been controversy with her lately but she wasn’t actually in the movies themselves so I see it as acceptable

Crystal Clear

GG did not work for me without Milo. I'll never understand people who didn't like Jess. He was Rory's soulmate, and I had to switch off when they introduced Logan

I can't help but feel sorry for Rowling, thinking back to the Deathly Hallows premiere and how the younger cast welcomed her there and spoke about her like she was a second mother. I don't know, the divided loyalties thing feels very awkward about this and I say that as someone who never cared for her in the past.

I can understand people disliking him in his early episodes but like definitely by season 6 (yeah no way)

haven’t really looked too much into it but yeah I was disappointed recently at finding out that an author who wrote a book series I was obsessed with as a kid made some offensive remarks about women

I felt more strongly about that than this tbh

Crystal Clear

I'm gonna be the annoying 'I try to separate art from reality' person

Not sure if that makes me a terrible person or not but I still think Rowling, having had so much input to the series in the past, deserved better here.

But yes I understand your POV

atwoodsmariano

oh I was actually talking about another author but yeah I definitely still enjoy Harry Potter

Crystal Clear

Oh right , man we are living in a tough era. Everyone wondering if certain books should be cancelled due to author's private lives.

I mean... Fiction is fiction. Whatever is in this books, we have the authors to thank for it. So if they're not-so-great in other areas, well that's a damn shame because HP is reflective of her better qualities I think.

On another note... I started watching 'Emily in Paris' today on Netflix. Surprisingly liked it

atwoodsmariano

I heard about that show but have never checked it out

currently busy getting through 6 different 90s-early/mid 2000s older series rn though

and am excited for 2 streaming shows to be coming back soon with new seasons

Crystal Clear

Lily Collins is good in it thankfully. It would probably be TERRIBLE otherwise.

Lots of cliche lines about French men being obsessed with sex and whatnot

atwoodsmariano

I’ve liked her in 2 movies I’ve seen her in but that’s pretty much everything

oh the book series that I was talking about earlier by the way was A Series of Unfortunate Events

I’m just disappointed because the author seemed like a cool guy and I actually went to the same high school as him

there was kind of like a hall of fame area in the school library with his books when I attended

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone that celebrates.

atwoodsmariano

Merry Christmas everyone!

finished watching season 1 of Party of Five for the first time earlier and I can definitely say Matthew has better romantic chemistry with the actress who plays Kirsten than Evi on Lost

for the record I do also like/think Matthew has good romantic chemistry with Elizabeth on Lost

really thought it was a solid season with great acting from most of the cast

was definitely impressed with the acting from Scott, Neve, and Lacey (her talent when she was so young - wow)

I liked how this season dealt with dealing with the loss of their parents

and the sibling dynamics felt very genuine to me

really loved Bailey/Charlie’s relationship the most I think even though it’s complicated
