"Halloween Kills" & "Halloween Ends" 2 new upcoming Halloween movies
Kyle has been going back and forth for a while now so I'm gonna assume she at least has a decent sized role in the first sequel. I'm still curious who is going to appear in both and I wonder if some of the people announced are just for the final sequel. I don't imagine they'll specify any of that due to spoilers.

A problem I worry for Warren is that she hasn't been vetted enough and that, among other things, might come back to bite her when she gets the nomination. When she was on Colbert and The Breakfast Show, they both tripped her up with tough questions that went beyond her talking point. She still keeps dodging the middle class tax question. I think she would still possibly win, but it'll be a lot tougher for her once she actually gets the nomination.

The Washington Post story was shocking, as was Guliani falling for the bait and showing screenshots of his texts with that State Department official who quickly resigned. This is moving faster than I anticipated and if the Post story is any indication, the people at the white house see the writing on the wall and are trying to save their asses. Now that it's truly at Watergate levels, I feel they're more worried about potential jail sentences. Imagine what next week is gonna be like if this is just day three. It's difficult to think of a suitable running mate for Biden, but he will need someone strong as VP to motivate people. It's just a matter of who would agree to it. His age might make people put aside their feelings and join him though.

The Politics Thread
If she doesn't get the nomination I hope she stays in the Senate. No VP or cabinet position. I feel the press has kept trying to minimize her and act like she's only running for VP which makes me not want her to do that. She's too talented for a figurehead position.

Bravo's The Real Housewives of....
I’m not surprised by the RHOA cast. They usually play it safe with peaches. The trailer didn’t reveal a lot, but this is a show where I don’t need a trailer because you know they’ll deliver. Looks like Kenya’s will pay off! Looks like this’ll be one of her good seasons hopefully. I started to love her when she left so I’m hoping for more of real Kenya.

That Jersey trailer is everything! I feel like they get better each season! I'm glad the cast is the same. I liked both newbies. Tomorrow RHOA is announced and there's a rumor we may be surprised by the cast. I'm guessing that means either Marlo got a peach or Tanya didn't. I can't imagine what else is shocking. Eva being demoted wouldn't be shocking if that happened. ETA: okay now the they're saying Tanya and Marlo got swapped for peaches. Now if true I'm happy Marlo finally got her due but I wish Tanya had a peach as well. I think Marlo now having kids (she's raising her deceased brothers kids) may have helped her story, in addition to her hair business.

This is crazy. This is the cleaned up transcript, so what the hell does the actual whistleblower complaint look like?! This also is incredibly damaging for Bill Barr, especially since he backed withholding the whistleblower complaint that clearly implicated him as well...who else does it implicate?! Rudy Guliani is completely fucked as well. He’s the first one that will likely go down. They’ll try to pin everything on him to save their asses.

Married to Medicine
I never would've imagined this show would be what brings Queen Joseline back to our screens but I'm here for it! Apparently she's besties with the new friend Buffie. Hopefully this goes well and they add her to RHOA next year. I've always loved her!

I do agree with you about her prosecutor record and also the fact that she doesn't have the name recognition of some of the others. I still think she could do well in the end if she continues her heavy appearances. As people get to know her they do seem to like her and it is still early. One thing that I feel will hurt her is that the next debate is back on CNN and if their last one is any indication, they will be out for blood in an effort to get ratings and turn it into a Real Housewives reunion again. With Warren, I feel if she maintains her momentum they may support her *until* she gets the nomination, then the media will pounce. Their first choice is still clearly Joe Biden and if he gets the nomination it'll make what they did to Hilary look like child's play.

The Politics Thread
This is a really good article which compares the difference in how Kamala Harris was treated at the GLAAD town hall compared to Elizabeth Warren. It's pretty amazing. The person who did the interviewing is a straight cis-gender white woman who isn't even clearly a democrat. She supported Bernie, but there is no record of her supporting Obama. She also tweeted a week before the town hall how excited she was to meet Elizabeth Warren so it raises the question if she was too biased for this. She didn't even seem educated on LGBT issues so she was an odd choice to do the questioning. Here's the link: https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2019/9/21/1886908/-The-white-bias-of-the-LGBTQ-forum I feel there's a lot you can clock Kamala on (and you should! Everybody should be vetted), but she's been pretty strong on LGBT rights, so to come so hard against her was odd in this type of forum.

Panty Gate I remember foolishly giving the benefit of the doubt bc I found the show entertaining overall, but that was the start of them burning what should be a minor story into the ground. It's so weird too bc the early seasons dealt with such heavy issues. Now accidently stepping on someone's toe could provide 15 episodes of story. I feel Potomac and NYC work so well because they can get over stuff. Even when they don't like each other they still tolerate each other like adults would do. Here if one person's mad then everybody piles on and that's all you hear about. I hate that!

Honestly I’m starting to worry. I guess it’s possible something dramatic is happening we don’t know of, but I think they’ll stay united to spite LVP.

RHOBH News: Nothing major, but some news has leaked out. No rumors of any potential drama between anybody so far. Teddi revealed today that she doesn't know if she's a HW, which is pretty good confirmation she'll just be a friend. It was unlikely they'd have 8 HWs so this is probably true. Also, Eileen revealed that the movie premiere for 7 Days To Vegas (her new movie) will be filmed for the show and the girls are coming. Kyle has been in North Carolina filming the Halloween sequels so I'm curious how long that'll take her away. We have no way of knowing if her role will be for both sequels or if it's big or small so there is no telling.

Saved By the Bell
It's confusing because like you said they didn't HAVE to include him, they choose to, so why not contact him? And the crazy thing is that he was available! He is a recast on Mixed-Ish. This has obviously been in development for a while so they could've easily contacted him and he'd be available to do it. Then with Lark Voorhees and Dustin Diamond, I find it hard to believe they'll appear due to personal problems. Just seems like it would've been better to just go with a new cast so people wouldn't want the old cast back.

Saved By the Bell
This is so odd. I could see how they could do an unrelated spin off ala The New Class, but this seems to include some of the originals and I wonder how that will go. Tiffani and Mark Paul are both working. I'm sure their schedule could open up, but still weird choice for a continuation.

Basketball Wives on VH1
I agree with @Cheap21 and @Antoyne about OG. The way she's been treated is AMAZING! Did yall hear that at the reunion OG showed up, business as usual, and was told she could only film from her dressing room via satellite? Apparently she's too violent and dangerous to sit on the couch with the other women. Cece got up and left when she found this out. My question is: This is a show where Tami and Evelyn have fought people many times, thrown things, etc. Evelyn this season has already attacked Jennifer AND she is going to try to attack Cece next week. How the FCUK is OG the dangerous one? This is beginning to feel discriminatory on another level. Is it because she's dark skinned? Her african features? It's more than just simple dislike. Shaunie has completely lost me as a fan. If you aren't on her team you have no chance on this show. Cece has been posting behind the scenes tidbits on her twitter and instagram. They're going as far as to editing out Byron's family members when they go to events with her so Kristen's narrative of the entire family hating her, is the only one that stands. Then when Tami had her party and they showed Cece up and leave, Cece said she actually stayed and partied with Tami and Jackie until the party ended! She's done with the show because of the biased editing and I can't say I blame her. I look forward to her digging into Evelyn's ass last week. I enjoyed her years ago, but she serves no useful purpose anymore. I feel like OG, Cece and Kristen were the more interesting newbies they've had in years, but the biased editing has ruined it. Since OG and Cece aren't up Shaunie and Evelyn's ass they get treated like dirt. I fully expect both to be out next season and along with Tami I'm not seeing a purpose in watching next season. I don't wanna see Shaunie and Evelyn ganging up on a bunch of new girls yet again.

I agree and thats why I get so mad when people list seasons 5 or 6 as the best. IMO, the best season the show had was season 4 (including the best reunion). I also loved last season which I know is unpopular. I feel like Kenya is too on for the cameras. I have liked her various seasons, but you don't get her real life often. I feel like she worked best in her final season, but overall she tries to hard. I like it best when the women are themselves and the drama is more organic. I feel the next season is going to be better received than last year because it'll be full of drama, but I don't look forward to the story she CREATES for herself.

Oh it's him for sure! She mentions the behavior in the post announcing the divorce: https://tamaratattles.com/2019/09/19/exclusive-details-kenya-moore-and-marc-daly-to-divorce/ That lines up with the blind item: https://tamaratattles.com/2019/09/17/blind-item-pretty-dick/ The weird thing to me is that just on Monday they appeared together on the Tamron Hall show, then he recently had an event that *he* threw for RHOA. This story is weird as hell just like anything with Kenya.

Tamara Tattles says that he is so unlikable that there is literally no way they can give him an even decent edit. She said that the producers don't even like Kenya and they feel bad for her. I know there are rumors he's down low and has a gay lover, but they say that about everyone so I'm not sure how true that is.

Eileen has never liked LVP and was always consistent about that so I can respect that. I don’t think she let it dominate her time on the show the way the ladies did last year. She’d address it with LVP but otherwise had her own stuff going on. I’d love her to return but I don’t think she ever would. She was offered a friend spot when Teddi joined and she turned it down since it wasn’t full time. After that I don’t think it would be easy to get her back. Potomac’s reunion was breezy as usual. This show is so effortless to watch! I loved towards the beginning when Karen was asked something relating to Ashley and calmly demolished her before telling Andy to move on lol. It was that moment that I knew I was in for a treat! Still sad it looks like Katie is done because I’d love to see her filming her movie during the next season. RHOC I’m completely behind on, but I look forward to catching up. Andy said the next string of episodes is epic and from the clip of Kelly knocking Shannon over the head it looks like that is gonna be true. These ladies always deliver even if it isn’t the ideal cast.

Y&R: Old Articles
Watching that episode I felt like I got more out of the non-Lorie/Leslie Brooks than others. This is the first episode I got a sense of who Chris and Peggy are and I actually liked both. I wish we could get like a solid week of Y&R from the 70s so we could get a feel of it. It seems like such a different animal than it became. In fact, each decade has a distinct feel to it. Also love whenever we get to see the Brooks home which looks just like the Forrester mansion.

I never liked Charisse. I found her the main weak link in season one. Had Katie not had issues with her husband I feel they would've kept her. She was good that season and gave a lot at the reunion.

They need to let Tami out of whatever kinda contract they have her in. It's clear she's been forced to remain probably using options on her contract. She just got announced for a series regular gig on a Hulu show AND a recurring role on Octavia Spencer's new Apple TV show. It's insane how well her acting career is going! Im happy because she's been grinding in smaller roles for years. Here's a link to the announcement: https://deadline.com/2019/09/ms-pat-comedy-pilot-cast-tami-roman-series-regular-1202729511/

Y&R: Old Articles
I'm still chugging along in March 1992 and it's getting frustrating to see how progressive the stories are compared to what they air today. Everything is so tepid now that I feel it could be aired on one of those christian networks. It's crazy that we have a soap and there isn't one Sheila-esque character. Back then you have Sheila, Jill, Katherine, at times Nikki and Lauren all as varying degrees of vixen. All are rootable and complex and being a vixen doesn't mean you're evil, but it's allowed. With the men they don't have to be warm and fuzzy honorable people. Ryan is a horny dick sleeping with Nina because Victoria (WHO IS SIXTEEN!) doesn't want to have sex with him. Brad is married to Traci but spending all his time with Ashley and about to have an affair with Lauren. Hell even John is dating three women at one time and that's fine! I feel like this is realistic and also gives you a chance to see characters interact before settling on a couple. Right now you wouldn't dare have a character like Lauren who is written more like a male character in terms of her sexual appetite and habit of sleeping around. I just finished the episode where Nina and Ryan slept together and that surprised me. I first met Nina when (to quote Jill) she had "let herself go" and was depressed because Ryan was cheating on her with Tricia. For one, the character is so different in these episodes in general, but I didn't expect them to meet and sleep together so soon! I believe Ryan and Victoria get married first so I figured we'd have time before Nina and Ryan met. Now I'm curious to see how this entire story is gonna go because I absolutely wasn't expecting this. Also, I never liked the thought of Blade because of his horrible name, but bringing him on through Drucilla was genius. She's so likable that I like him by extension of him helping her. She is such an aspirational character and it warms my heart seeing how he believes in her talent and truly wants to make her successful. Another point I've reached is the horrible second Nathan recast. I liked the first and third Nathan's but this guy comes off too angry and has no chemistry with anybody. I can't wait until he's gone.

Developing: 90210 Reboot with Original Cast!
I have watched all 4 episodes now, commercial free on Hulu so I can focus and this is terrible. I'm gonna keep watching since there's only two episodes to go, but such a wasted opportunity. I love Shannon's persona on the show but she'd hardly appeared for 4 episodes now! She's one of the most popular cast members so that's baffling. I also hate that when they discuss a reboot they act like the show ended with them in high school. They've so confused as to what the characters would be doing as if we didnt see them as adults living their lives.
