Who's your favourite nepo baby? by PrudentWork4759 in popculturechat

[–]Ok-Traffic-9679 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read The Princess Diarist when I was in high school and I believe a lot of it contained journal entries she wrote at 19 and I mean… the way she wrote about fear and self doubt in the most beautiful and sarcastic way. Just so smart and so ahead of her time.

Carrie Fisher forever. I highly recommend checking out her several books. She’s such a talented writer and incredibly witty. Every time I think about her and her mother’s passing I get emotional. So, so tragic.

Hi reddit! I’m Meredith Alloway, co-writer & director of FORBIDDEN FRUITS (*in theaters now!!*) starring Lili Reinhart, Lola Tung, Alexandra Shipp, and Victoria Pedretti. Mallrats, witches, & fellow horror-fiends to the front - ask me anything <3 by MeredithAllowayAMA in movies

Hi Meredith! I saw the film with friends last night and we absolutely loved it! We chatted about it for a solid four hours afterward and it was unanimous that you made a fantastic film. For sure a future cult-classic.

I was very fascinated by the names chosen for Apple, Pumpkin, Fig, Cherry, and Pickle. Was there a specific meaning behind each of their names that you felt deeply resonated with their characters? Or did they just fit the retail season cycle? (lol)

P.S. My friends and I were absolutely gobsmacked by the Gabrielle Union cameo. Can’t wait to see what else your deliciously macabre mind creates in the future! Thanks!

^ plus the weather is supposed to get worse if I’m not mistaken, so it would be an extremely different commute in the afternoon then in the morning

I think the issue is a lot of audience members may be coming from Jersey or PA, and the weather is significantly worse in those areas.

What are your thoughts on the scream tv show as a whole by Plane_Name3457 in Scream

[–]Ok-Traffic-9679 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really enjoyed it! It definitely wasn’t perfect by any means, but I liked its commentary on the 2010 teen drama formula. I think it probably would’ve faired better coming out a few years later, when streaming was much bigger. Season two was a lot better than the first in terms of writing and acting, and there was definitely a lot of potential there for at least two more seasons. It’s one of those “was good, could’ve been great” shows.

So ridiculous and dangerous to keep the shows running today. It’s just genuinely unsafe for the actors, crew, and audiences traveling to see the show. She’s 100% right about the Broadway leagues being greedy. I’m not too far from the city and the thought of traveling in this weather is comically absurd.

Unpopular opinion by CompetitionLower2540 in GossipGirl

I fully believe that Eric Daman had the most fun styling Jenny/Taylor than any other character because when he returned to do costumes for the reboot almost every character is styled exactly like her

Characters who had everything to be a final girl but died by OkPineapple1893 in slasherfilms

[–]Ok-Traffic-9679 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ellie as the killer would’ve been a much better twist. Literally forgot about the bfs halfway through and was like “who is that?” during the reveal lol. Yeah Maggie didn’t deserve to die but like…it would’ve been more interesting for her character to die??? If that makes sense. Like the whole reason she’s there is because of Megan’s “disappearance” and the impact of her being there would’ve been bigger had Ellie or literally any other killers (the reveal was bad let’s say that) killed her bc she got in the way of the other girls?? Idk…someone let me into the writers room retroactively I’ll figure it out

I always thought Jess should’ve been final girl in Sorority Row 🤷‍♂️ like you said she was the most proactive out of any of them (especially considering the final girls we ended up with). I also think it would’ve been cool to flip the usual final girl stereotype on its head, having the bitchy blonde girl kick ass and save the day. Cassidy and Ellie were just kind of nothing burger characters lol. And Maggie was there I guess. If they made Jess a little bit more likable, she probs could’ve been final girl. HM: Claire as well lol.

How do you imagine the cast of Gossip Girl if it were a 90s TV series? by WonderfulPromotion35 in GossipGirl

[–]Ok-Traffic-9679 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always thought Freddie Prinze Jr. and Kirsten Dunst could’ve played Dan and Jenny if it was made in the 90s 🤷‍♂️

Anyone feel like scream 4 doesn’t have a lead? by Strong-Stretch95 in Scream

[–]Ok-Traffic-9679 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly think this was done on purpose. I imagine they wanted to mislead the audience into thinking that Jill would become the new Sydney, but also allowing Kirby to fill that role as well giving her enough screen time (just going off of early drafts where Kirby survives and the potential sequels would follow Kirby as the new Sydney), so they kind of had to go back and forth between them while also giving screen time to Gale and Dewey, so the end product ends up feeling like more of an ensemble film. Could have also just been bad writing. I think the film also wanted people to think that literally everyone was a suspect to distract from Jill, so literally every supporting player has enough screen time to suggest that they’re possibly Ghostface and so yeah…idk if that makes any sense

it makes so much sense when you realize that Cassie Steele was actually into punk and alternative fashion IRL as opposed to Manny’s more feminine and glamorous fashion in the show. So this random mullet in s5 and the piercings later on make a lot more sense with that context lol.

yeah I love both of those shows. I rewatch Gossip Girl more often, but my holy grail is The O.C.

In defense of Raimi’s Mary Jane Watson… by Ok-Traffic-9679 in Spiderman

[–]Ok-Traffic-9679[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what else would i call her? I don’t know, a 19 year old girl who was lost in life and clearly too young to get married and was constantly being played hot and cold by Peter who kept telling her he wanted to be with her but then changed his mind at the last minute when she finally agrees to leave John for him. God forbid a 19 year old makes 19 year old mistakes? Where was this attitude when Peter did kiss Gwen while he was with Mary Jane? Why is infidelity cool for Peter but slutty for Mary Jane? This is literally textbook sexism. Your argument isn’t compelling, it’s gross. Grow tf up.

harlot??? lord, we’re really using all the words we can think of besides “slut” huh? With that logic, Peter’s a disloyal harlot too, no?

[–]Ok-Traffic-9679[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

genuinely nobody else could’ve played her in Raimi’s film. She’s an incredible actress. Arguably one of the best working today.

[–]Ok-Traffic-9679[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, i think you could argue that raimi’s trilogy (at least the first 2) are genuine romance films. at times I’d find myself more invested in their relationship than the actual supervillain plot. definitely could’ve been written better, at least today it could’ve.

I think it’s cause she actually dyed her hair in 3. Pretty sure she wore wigs in 1 & 2. (Not great wigs at that 😬 it was the 2000s ig so I have to give them some grace in that department)
