I'm at a "staged concert" performance of Lionel Bart's OLIVER! The instrumentalists are warming up onstage, which sounds like a bunch of children were given meth and then let loose in a music store. If it doesn't cease soon, I'm gonna go full-ham on everyone with an oboe. #StayTuned #Newsat11

Do you ever have moments when you're reminded of a movie you once watched, but instead of remembering it in bits and pieces, your brain just hands you the whole thing in the form of a mashed-up blob?

Also, I cannot and--do not--recommend any of the US seasons of THE TRAITOR.
First off, too many Bravo faces I don't recognize. Secondly, they brought on Boston Rob as an option! Who would volunteer to go against one of SURVIVOR's GOATs? Bottom line: the US producers don't know what they're about.

I'm still working out what I want to be when I "grow up," but I've always been drawn to women's issues and I'm developing a hunger for advocacy.
At the same time, I'm trying to find out if there's a job naming things: colors, scents, flavors, etc. because I was definitely made for that, too. 🤔🤔🤔

@filmandseries.bsky.social I'm very glad about all the actors, writers, producers, etc. y'all have signed for #Cruella2, but you gotta know the real make or break employment decision here is costume designer, right?? Because if genius/Oscar-winner #JennyBeaven isn't coming back, then neither am I.

To paraphrase PRETTY WOMAN: If people have ceased to surprise you, then you are very, VERY lucky because most of them continue to shock the hell outta me.

Okay. In the US, on Peacock, search for "The Traitors," choose the original flavor (UK) WITH celebrities, and then sit back and enjoy one of the best seasons of competitive reality awesomeness ever.
You're welcome! 😁😁😁

Amazon Music curated this for me, so I'm hella biased, but I'm pretty sure this lineup is fire, right??

You know all those weird social cues and steps required for a person to go from being a stranger or an acquaintance to a friend or lover or whatever? For me, most of those are so stressful and/or confusing that I dont even bother anymore.

I adore visual artistry in its myriad forms, and I've come to appreciate music more and more as I get older, but the written word--the euphonious magic of a well-turned phrase--always has been, and always will be, most deeply etched upon my heart.
Just felt like sharing ❤️

The names of a few fan groups I just learned:
-Fans of actor Chris Pine = Pine Nuts
-Charli XCX fans = Charli's Angels
-Ellie Goulding fans = Goulddiggers
(Side note: Crochet fanatics call themselves "hookers"!)
And, my new fave...
-Ed Sheeran fans = Sheerios
My (fictional) fans = Hey, Balers! 😆😆😆

I'm in the last few days, and as per usual, I am both exceedingly proud and terribly ashamed of the amount of content I've ingested over the past month.
FLANA-STAN FEST--Watchtoberfest 2025
Every October, I make a list of 31 horror movies and try to watch them all! I started coming up with themes a few years back, and this year's theme is: FLANA-STAN FEST, a tribute to one of my favorite...

The new FRANKENSTEIN looks boring and basic AF. 🙄🙄🙄
Aside from Brooks' classic romp, the only quality update I've found of Shelley's work is THE ANGRY BLACK GIRL AND HER MONSTER (2023), written/directed by #BomaniJStory. Remakes/adaptations should add something to the convo, or what's the point??

I love #TheBoys and #GenV so damn hard! And as much as I'd enjoy meeting the cast, I really, REALLY wanna be BFFs with the writers 😍😍😍 Or, at the least, get the chance to take them all out for a drink.
In other words, the writers of those series are the true supes. 🧀🧀🧀😆😆😆

When #LawRoach busted out with their allusion to/impression of the #TyraBanks tirade from #ANTM on #ProjectRunway RIGHT IN FRONT OF MISS TYRA BANKS HERSELF, I died.
I mean, that was a magical competitive reality show turducken moment, the likes of which I may never see again! 😱😍😱

What does the high & mighty Supreme Court think ad say about this atrocity?? When will 'trump shooting someone on 5th Avenue' be enough to STOP him completely. Have they ALL lost their minds?

Fun fact: You can make your name almost anything on the #Starbucks app. And trust me, you haven't lived until you've heard a barista call out a drink for "Mrs. Snuffleupagus!" or "Oprah!" (The latter is best done in an extra crowded location 😝😝😝) Keep it clean, kids, and have fun out there! 😃😃😃
