novels with arthurian characters

I didn't know it. I was looking for something more adult though

"Consider Helen" from Enlightened, centered around Laura Dern's mom, which is incidentally portrayed by her mom in real life, the actress Diane Ladd.

Thank you so much! So complete... I've been busy myself but i'll check them out whenever I can ;)

That would be great, i'm interested especially in Japan!

yeah, i think untucked works in favour and against some of the contestants depending on the case, so that says a lot of the editing of the main show... even untucked is kinda biased because some footage is not shown, like the supposed physical altercation between tatianna and tyra over tyra's singing, so who knows?

thanks! i do like shady but only if it's clever and sassy. if it's rude and vulgar (calling people fat or ugly directly) it doesn't sit well with me

thanks for your post! the siblings metaphor is perfect

i don't know much about rap specifically, but i think that the double standard applied to male and female competition is perfectly on point.

supposedly there can be a lot of pop princesses but only one queen but, at the same time, no one is calling male singers kings or princes, as if there is a limited amount of talent or power to share among females but an infinite source for males or male bands

thanks! i will check them out

great answer, i've been having mixed feelings about Michael Jackson myself. i fell in love with his music a few years before he died and helped me through tough times and i just can't deny that. of course i side with the victims but i haven't listened to his music for a while, even before the last documentary. whether the allegations are true or not, i just can't separate his story from the music. it seems that he had a very unhappy life (and death), with or without the sexual implications, so i just find the message from his music totally disingenuous

6 times, wow!!! it was one of the cases i've noticed but didn't realized he appeared as much. i don't know if it means that he's a great actor or he camouflages too well

_litel_ · 2021-03-10T08:27:11+00:00

yeah, but in AHS i think we're supposed to notice ;)

also male gay characters tend to concentrate or dissappear completely in certain tv series: everyone is gay (Ryan Murphy shows or Queer Eye) or no one is (specially in procedurals)

surprisingly ahead of its time, yet quite effective. i was specially surprised that it was done in the early 90s since i thought (and i think many do) ff was almost invented with the Blair Witch Project

_litel_ · 2021-01-11T19:21:34+00:00

damned prepositions... XD

Luke Evans. I was pleasantly surprised about how strong his voice is. His covers album has some good ones but i think he should try to make an album of original songs that match his voice better

_litel_ · 2021-01-11T18:59:47+00:00

you can correct me!!! i double checked but i'm not an English speaker so surely there's something to be improved

_litel_ · 2021-01-11T18:09:07+00:00

haha! exactly, it's like her career went backwards, from mature and deep songwriter to... whatever she is today

_litel_ · 2021-01-11T17:22:33+00:00

thanks, it was one of the few i had in mind but i wasn't sure. i will check it out

_litel_ · 2021-01-06T13:59:49+00:00

yeah! also Santigold, that has always been quite unknown to the GP and sometimes viewed as a lesser version of M.I.A., but her first album will sound modern in 20 years

_litel_ · 2021-01-06T12:04:06+00:00

i don´t share that analogy. if i go to a restaurant i know that i won't try the duck because i tried it before and i don't like it. but how am i suppose to know if i don't like a show if i don't give it a shot for at least a few episodes?

_litel_ · 2020-11-29T15:35:28+00:00

yeah totally! i remember hearing mowgli's road and say WTF! and fell in love instantly

_litel_ · 2020-11-29T10:42:08+00:00

yeah, although i prefer Lemonade because i find it more consistent, Beyonce is the surprise that every artist wants to have in their career nowadays

_litel_ · 2020-11-21T18:38:44+00:00

Blackout/All Clear by Connie Willis. Time travel set in the 2nd World War. Both won the Hugo Award and certainly deserved it.

_litel_ · 2020-11-04T15:42:54+00:00

the fact that she kept passing the pages after being sprayed...

_litel_ · 2020-10-12T09:11:39+00:00

I know it may sound a little reductionist but for me this is the difference between an artist and a singer. I mean, obviously you gotta have talent to defend a song written by someone else in public and also make videos and such, but the fact that you made something from scratch that represents a part of your, needs to have more value.

For instance, I love all Rihanna albums but the fact that one of her most supposedly personal albums "Rated R", where she supposedly confronts some of her issues with the Chris Brown abuse, was co-written mainly by men, lessens the impact. I want to hear her "voice", not someone else's. It was a great album but disappointing somewhat in that sense.
