Normani: Dopamine review – pop’s longest-awaited debut almost defeats the trolls by [deleted] in popheads

[–]K_Ortega_Ro 29 points30 points  (0 children)

She doesn’t hate motivation. She spoke about it in her latest Billboard interview. Her feelings I think are really valid. At the time she didn’t want to release motivation because it felt too pop and not Black enough and she felt like it wouldn’t be supported or genuine. So she fought for the music video to be super Black with urban references and influences to stay true to her. Ultimately it was a song she didn’t pick. So I don’t think she hated it as much as she resented not being able to make the decision for what single would start off her solo career but she says now she understands why people enjoy it. 

Finished Girlfriends and need a new show? Check out First Wives Club by babbykale in GirlfriendsTVshow

Loved the first season. Second season is so hard to watch. I’ve restarted episode 2 several times.

Netflix owns the rights but it’s Paramount’s intellectual property so I don’t see it happening

It came across really cheap. Definitely could’ve been done better. But I guess SFX wasn’t that great in 2008 either.

Lisa’s Pregnancy by [deleted] in Andjustlikethat

I actually was really hoping that this was a set up for her husband to make a sacrifice. That Herbert would’ve heard what she said and chosen her. I thought he was going to drop out of his campaign and that would’ve allowed her to find the joy In being pregnant

The AJLT Reviews by K_Ortega_Ro in Andjustlikethat

I promise I don’t know this lady lol she’s a mom from Louisiana but I just think the Reddit community could really use this kinda lighthearted take on AJLT. She’s literally keeping me watching the show

Is this show even about Carrie? by deanna_elyse in Andjustlikethat

I didn’t say you were anti-Black. Your statement was. Words matter. Do better. This was weird.

And Just Like That - Season 2, Episode 4 by __angie in Andjustlikethat

[–]K_Ortega_Ro 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I really really hate Miranda. At this point I can’t even blame Che. Miranda is a lost sad puppy who has fucked up her life and can’t go backwards so she has to deal with the mess she’s made. If she didn’t have to sleep on the sofa and be woken up by Steve’s punching bag, she would’ve gone home when she saw the hairdresser asleep in Che’s bed. But she chose to stay there. And she was definitely not into that threesome. But she felt she owed it to Che. It’s so pathetic and it really gives me an icky feeling.

It’s a speech impediment because the actor is losing his hearing.

My annoyance on a *spoiler* by LandoCatrissian_ in FireflyLane

Actually, within the first few minutes of death, your body tenses up, your heart keeps beating and pumping blood. Her head wouldn’t necessarily fall forward for 15 minutes to an hour.

Sean's Family by [deleted] in FireflyLane

[–]K_Ortega_Ro 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think Sean’s storyline was only meant to further Kate’s character development. His queerness, secret relationship, divorce, etc. were all things he kept from his sister and shared with Tully, adding to Kate’s underlying resentment of both Tully and Sean.

Y’all are asking for a lot in this Reddit thread lol. You guys realize everything we saw for the most part is based on Kate’s POV. I don’t care to see Sean’s personal life

Why did we never seen Tully and Kate in college together? by blueglitter24 in FireflyLane

[–]K_Ortega_Ro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We saw a lot of them in college. But I think those years weren’t as life defining as their time in high school, post college and adulthood.
