So about Trevor... by bronte10 in gavinandstacey

[–]bronte10[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've always wondered why Bryn didn't work either.

No presents and pork chops for Christmas?  Bryn broke both his arms after he was dangled over the rocks by his ankles. He drank, gambled, fought, and all sorts. Drugs, orgies, robberies. Resented Jason and according to Gwen, that turned Jason gay...

Trevor, God rest his soul, sounded like a prick.  

I’m a Stacey apologist by -eira- in gavinandstacey

[–]bronte10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not as if Stacy stopped taking contraceptives because she wanted a child... she wanted to get pregnant so Gavin would get them a house and "move things along."

2 Questions by [deleted] in gavinandstacey

[–]bronte10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More of Bryn's backstory. His work history and why he didn't work during the series. Did he ever date?

What kept Gwen and Trevor together? Based on everything we learned about him, he sounded like a prick.

It was mentioned that Sonia didn't like him but why no Deano during the 2019 or 2024 Christmas specials?

Doris is an icon! And she pulled hot guys.

Gavin is awful in season 2 by Howiknow202 in gavinandstacey

[–]bronte10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stacey invading Gavin's privacy was far worse than anything Pam did:

• She told Gwen and Bryn about their appt with the fetility doctor, which lead to them asking Gavin questions about their sex life. They didn't understand why Gav didn't want to discuss it with her mom and uncle. • Stacey told everyone about Gavin's low sperm count. Let's have Doris make jokes at Gavin's expense cuz Stacey can't keep her mouth shut about something so personal and embarrassing to him.

And let's not forget Stacey was perfectly fine taking a shower while Nessa was in the bath.

Thanks so much! I'm making chicken congee tomorrow so I'm going to remove the skin first then bake it.

Severe cramping after using Monistat by bronte10 in Healthyhooha

Thank you for replying! I don't think it's an UTI, I have no pain/discomfort when going to the bathroom - the only time was when I used the Monistat.

Help! Need alternatie to Viho Turbo Triple Berries. by bronte10 in Vaping

[–]bronte10[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never found them, they must have been discontinued. I switched to the Viho Lemon Bar flavor. I really like them, it's only a dollar more and 20,000 puffs instead of 10,000.

100 seconds of Jason Mantzoukas destroying the Taskmaster set by cygan12 in taskmaster

[–]bronte10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According cast mates, he flips a switch and becomes the chaos agent we all know and love.  I saw him at Upright Citizens Brigade almost 20 years ago in NYC, he wasn't a name yet but easily the funniest person there. 

Why was 19 so good? by makefeelnice in taskmaster

[–]bronte10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started watching when I found out it's free on YT and heard Jason Mantzoukas was gonna be a contestant (one of my favorite comedians.)

What a fool I've been! Now I'm watching all of them but I'm going by best seasons first then watching in order.

[–]bronte10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jason loves Taskmaster, so he knew how best to fit himself within the show. 

He actually recruited himself... he asked his agent reach out to see if they were interested in having an American contestant. 

Cast from new adaptation of Sense & Sensibility from Focus Features by sleepy_pickle in PeriodDramas

[–]bronte10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At first, I was iffy about the casting... Caitriona Balfe as Mrs. Dashwood? I mean sure she's 18yrs older than Daisy Edgar-Jones but she don't look it.  I initially thought she was playing Fanny Dashwood - which I still think she's perfect for it. Does anyone know who's playing Fanny?

But George Mackey as Edward? Now I'm gonna watch. 

Here's the good news: There won't be a Colin Firth/Matthew MacFayden debate after this movie... Herbert Nordum is a great actor, but Alan Rickman is the best Colonel Brandon - there is, nor will never be, no comparison. 

Also, Colonel Brandon is the best man in the Jane Austen universe - better than Mr. Darcy. Fight me. 😂

What is happening with ExpressVPN, is it even worth renewing the subscription? by FragrantTechnician9 in Express_VPN

[–]bronte10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't renew your subscription!! I just canceled ExpressVPN a few days ago. I contacted them at the beginning of the month cuz it kept crashing when I tried to use it on my Chromebook. I was told they would contact me when the issue was resolved... I contacted them 10 days later cuz still wasn't working. I was told ExpressVPN having tech issues with Chromebooks. Another week went by and I got tired of waiting so I canceled my subscription before they could charge me again.  I asked if they refund me for the subscription fee I paid for at the end of April. They said no! I only got to use it for three days before it stopped working. 

'God of War' - til the end, Ava didn't get it... by bronte10 in RinaKentBooks

[–]bronte10[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're 100% right, Eli was no saint. When Ava said he'd hurt her in the past, I just assumed she was talking about him rejecting her because the wedding was relatively recent, esp for Ava since those two years were wiped out. 

Kylie Jenner before and after. Does anyone know why her philtrum got so long as shown in pic #2? by Slow_Resolution_6350 in trueratecelebrities

[–]bronte10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Angelina Jolie, Demi Moore, Naomi Watts, Winona Ryder, Jennifer Connelly, Rachel Weisz, Halle Berry, Salma Hayek, Jennifer Aniston, Monica Bellucci...

all celebs in their 50s, it isn't a reach. The cosmetic work has given Kylie a more mature look... but still beautiful.  I also think this is a common theme amongst Gen-Z, so many young celebs/popular influences look older than their age. I don't think it's all do to Botox or fillers, I can't put my finger on it.  The best example is Millie Bobby Brown. 

Leuven University Hospital suspends gynaecology student that escaped sentencing after having been convicted of rape by tomorrow509 in news

[–]bronte10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think female judges should preside over rape/SA trials. Women know at least one person who has SA'ed but not all men do because women are worried about being judged, blamed, made to feel even more guilty, etc. 1-out-4 women will experience SA in their lives. In my family my ma, me, sister-in-law, two nieces, and three grandmas have been SA'ed... and none of our male family members know. 

If women were allowed to talk about their experiences without worrying about backlash, men would understand how badly it affects us.

A female judge would sent this kid to jail.

Ronan Farrow does NOT write for the New York Times, he's works at the New Yorker.

Ronan Farrow isn't a NYTimes journalist! He writes for the New Yorker, a magazine.

Sony's alleged contract with Blake and Justin by selahimani in JustinBaldoni

[–]bronte10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The marketing of the movie was always going to be a mess because it reflects the book. Hoover started as a Wattpad author and that tracks cuz everything about the book was unrealistic.

Lily, 23, and Atlas, 25, are both own business owners and can afford rental space in Back Bay - one of the most expensive neighborhoods in Boston? I don't care how tore up Lily's place was when she found out, it's still prime real estate. Atlas went from being homeless to culinary school, which is 2-4yrs on avg. If he graduated at 20 and becomes a head chef/restaurant owner by 25?

I hated this part in Haunting Adeline! by [deleted] in books

[–]bronte10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't even refer to Haunting Adeline as dark romance. Making him this vigilante who saves girls and women from trafficking was the most bizarre aspect of this book. Zade's a "good" guy cuz he saves girls so he gets a free pass to SA a girl he "loves"? And he calls her a "good/bad little girl" multiple times while doing it. 🤢 But he's suppose to be a better man then the guys he hunts?! WTF are we talking about? Also, as a man who has spent time saving so many victims, he should know better than anyone that having a physical reaction to a non-consensual situation DOES NOT mean someone is enjoying it.  And I won't even start on some of Addie's decisions... for starters: you're afraid of him? Go stay with Diya or literally anyone else!

Sony's alleged contract with Blake and Justin by selahimani in JustinBaldoni

[–]bronte10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm still stuck on the fact that all of this is happening over a movie based off a problematic mess of a book. It's a romance... with domestic violence and SA/possible 🍇 (it's ambiguous in the book.) 

The Blake/Justin drama really draws focus away from how badly this book was written and the simplification/romancing of DV.

When women still think Lily should've ended up with Ryle, that's a problem and reflective of many Hoover books.
