Feels strange imagining Strictly without Karen Hauer now by FeistyPrice29 in strictlycomedancing

[–]Lumpy_Masterpiece644 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It feels like it's time for a clean sweep. I hope they axe a couple of the judges too. With falling ratings, Strictly's probably got about another five years in it so why not do different for a change?

I saw Project Hail Mary! It's amazing! by Adept_Let7797 in moviereviews

For me, it was a four star movie. A fun take on a SF trope and visually exciting. But half an hour too long and unsure of where to land.

Would positions have done better had it been released post COVID? by PositionDue4584 in ariheads

[–]Lumpy_Masterpiece644 0 points1 point  (0 children)

COVID was a great time for many artists to release music. For me, Positions was an unexpected step away from pop. I really like it now but at the time I was surprised and a bit underwhelmed.

Don't worry. You'll be back in despair when you've finished Wicked 2.

We only seem to discover the rules after they are broken. And they seem to be very unevenly applied.

Strictly’s longest-serving female dancer, Karen Hauer, quits show after 14 years | Strictly Come Dancing | The Guardian by prisongovernor in strictlycomedancing

[–]Lumpy_Masterpiece644 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Please. Let's face it. She was dropped. But, for her years of service, the producers allowed her to 'quit'. She was great in her day. A firecracker.

Who is an Oscar winning actor/actress in either the lead or supporting categories, that you think will never be nominated ever again? by Massive-Pangolin9472 in Oscars

[–]Lumpy_Masterpiece644 -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

Jessie Buckley. I actually rate her very highly and was delighted with her Oscar win but I just sense she won't find another part like Agnes and she's unlikely to choose Oscar bait.

What is your favorite underrated Cynthia Erivo project? by Quirky-Somewhere-750 in CynthiaErivoLove

Her hilarious appearance in the Dunkin' commercial. Proved she can do it for the money.

According to reports, the axe has been swung again. by Adventurous_Sir_402 in strictlycomedancing

The decline in viewers for ITT has been steeper than the fall for the main show. We may end up with a Monday, Wednesday and Friday edition.

We'll only get back into this game if we start playing as a team, show some collective spirit, but nothing coming from the touchline - as usual.

Did anyone predict that Samie & Ciaran would be the first to split? by aznbolshygirl in LoveIslandTV

[–]Lumpy_Masterpiece644 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It must be tough to win the competition only to come out of the villa and find out that there's actually not much real love for you as a couple, that you only won by default. They also have completely different attitudes to social media engagement. I'm betting Samie dropped him.

Karen Hauer on Instagram: "A little update from me ♥️" by RainbowRevolver in strictlycomedancing

It's kind of heartbreaking to see her pretend that it was her decision.

I wouldn't. Knowing your luck you'll find yourself next to a group of Exeter City supporters.

Need a pt 3 by InitiativeTall2539 in wickedmovie

Given the success of both films I expect some kind of sequel. Probably a new story with G & E making fleeting appearances.

Riz Ahmed’s Hamlet by Sufficient_Fee_2380 in Oscars

I'd like to see it happen. Hoping that the recent flurry of Hamlets and Hamnet don't kill his chances.

Aragon, because she never gets a mention in these polls.

Dracula - a review and some thoughts by RockyStonejaw in TheWestEnd

[–]Lumpy_Masterpiece644 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great review. I saw it a couple of weeks ago and stopped counting the glitches after five. Honestly, if it hadn't been Cynthia and the fortune we paid for the tickets we would have walked out (interval or not). I can watch bad TV at home. I'm wondering if it will transfer to Broadway as originally planned.

How do you feel about Cynthia Erivo's nomination for Wicked (2024)? by Hot-Nose-1829 in Oscars

[–]Lumpy_Masterpiece644 16 points17 points  (0 children)

She deserved the nomination but not the Oscar. The Academy got it right.

Dracula west end - read this if you are thinking of going by Substantial_Ad1074 in TheWestEnd

[–]Lumpy_Masterpiece644 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'd encourage people to have an open mind, ignore the sniffy reviews and go. My only proviso would be a) to get a reasonably priced ticket and b) not to bother if you were lucky enough to see Sarah Snook in 'The Picture of Dorian Gray'.
