German soaps: GZSZ, UU & AWZ
Thank you for all this info. You're a star. I am surprised they are still trying new soaps.

Those comments about Patsy Pease just make me roll my eyes. Logan was an attention seeking Twitter type before they existed. Mary Kay Adams was such a treasure. I'm sorry she hasn't had any soap work in so long.

"The Conners" Discussion Thread
It's nice people are saying she deserves as much as John/Laurie/Sara, but I think even she probably knows that is never happening. She has been just terrific on the Conners, a real touchstone in my opinion, so I'm glad she got some recognition for it in her salary. I'm kind of sad that DJ won't be appearing in all episodes, even though he didn't last season anyway. I wonder if his wife and daughter will also be phased out. I saw one article that didn't even list him as one of the actors (they listed Ames McNamara but not him). He's never going to be able to headline, but he really does work so well with Lecy, Sara and John. I hope that won't be forgotten. I had to laugh when I saw people still in comments sections talking about how season 2 will be the last and people will now move on because the curiosity is gone and blah blah blah. Yes, ratings will fall, that's only natural, but people have been saying the damn show was going to be canceled since before the first episode even aired. Have some dignity already.

Pathetic. This is why no one should ever allow the media's feverish attempts to paint W as a cuddly saint who paints and passes out candy.

Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin indicted in bribery case
I read that Teri Hatcher "liked" an article online criticizing Felicity, although supposedly Teri didn't get along with the other cast members anyway.

The Politics Thread
I hear people talk all the time about how right wing the BBC is and how they are desperately attempting to stay in line with the Tories above all else. Moments like this, where they harass the speaker of the House of Commons and openly brag about it, don't disprove that point. Good luck with any of those morons if they tried this with Nancy Pelosi.

Netflix: One Day at a Time
Somebody wrote this scathing article about how unoriginal Netflix actually is, and I agreed with a lot of it. https://theconcourse.deadspin.com/netflixs-bright-future-looks-a-lot-like-televisions-dim-1833056161

Your daily (or nightly) thought
A look at a Chicago crowd going to see Return of the Jedi. What a world. Star Wars is so toxic and ugly now - both from the fans and from talentless hacks like JJ Abrams.

Netflix: One Day at a Time
The only reason I've ever heard of the show is because of the women who had to fight like hell to get Danny Masterson fired. I also hate binging. I loathe it. I'm tired of this being pushed. I don't understand when I see people bragging about how they binged through an entire 8 years of a show in a week. Good for you. What will you remember of it? Anything??

Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin indicted in bribery case
Some fans are crazy, of course, but I have seen some of them talking about how poorly she and others like Candace Cameron (ugh) treated fans who were upset about a character being killed off, telling them if they stopped watching people would lose their jobs, etc. Needless to say those fans are not very sad right now.

Netflix: One Day at a Time
If you don't like the show that's fine - lots of people here treasure Game of Thrones but I'll never watch it again. I just replied because I think Justina is one of the things that grounds the show rather than being sugary. Here's one of my favorite episodes (scenes from it, anyway), when Penelope goes off her meds. I'm not posting this to make you watch the show - just to try to show what she brings to the role.

Justina Machado's acting is pretty far from cutesy pie overacting.

The Media/Journalism Thread
https://crooksandliars.com/2019/03/chuck-todd-suggest-americas-toxic-politics Same old same old. Chuck Todd is a sycophant and a fool who is proud to suck the teat of bigots and hatemongers. NBC News deserves nothing but vomit stains all over their carpets. And not the ones Matt Lauer left behind.

Hollywood Sexual Harrasment/Assault Thread
I saw some of Charlotte Kirk's "songs" on Youtube - they amount to porn, really. I rolled my eyes at the whole "yay girl power we don't need men!!!" campaign over Ocean's 8 last year because of how phony this type of display is, and hearing that a woman got a part in the film solely because of sexual favors tells me I was right. Anyway... https://deadline.com/2019/03/chantal-cousineau-hasnt-worked-since-leading-me-too-charge-against-james-toback-1202576982/

Penny also briefly returned at Christmas 2000. After that Goutman stopped caring about the past, other than to take a dump on it.

Stunting and attention-whoring is all that some people care about. The woman who berated Chelsea Clinton takes the cake - I saw her tweets today pouting because the boy in Australia who egged a white supremacist politician is a hero and she's a villain. Never mind that many of the same people who hate her likely hate him, she just needs to make herself a martyr. That's what all of this is about. That's why her friend was hitting people up for money right after they posted the video. It's such breathtakingly callous and cynical manipulation of real grievances. So many people who are far more concerned with this woman than with the actual victims. "A grieving young brown girl," not a grown woman who was grieving so hard she hit people up for cash. I think my favorite was someone who was going on about "white blue checks" desperately trying to defend a white woman...even though they were also a "blue check" (verified) and were showing a gif from Avengers Age of Ultron, a movie with a white cast, made by white people, earning billions for a studio and company run by white people. Bernie Sanders and those close to him seem to be attention-seeking grifters with a very, very narrow view of the world, a huge martyrdom complex, and they seem to be very proud of that. I can see why he attracts this type of supporter. And these types of supporters are more than happy to ruthlessly exploit terrorist attacks, racism, and xenophobia in order to get clicks, retweets, and money in their pockets. These types of people are just as giddy over the massacre in Christchurch as Trump supporters are. I'm at the point where I'm not going to lie to myself that Bernie supporters and Trump supporters are any different. I want nothing to do with any of them, ever, and I never will.

Yeah I went and looked at some of her tweets and people were saying that one of her friends was trying to get people to donate money to her. Then this changed to donating to victims of the massacre, but why would anyone believe that money is going to them now? The absolute glee some people on Twitter have for dogpiling on Chelsea Clinton while not caring about the Muslims killed in Christchurch is disgusting, if not surprising. I have to wonder how many are secretly glad this happened. It gives them more reasons to tear their hair and act superior.

The Politics Thread
Is this woman a friend of Ilhan Omar's? I do agree that Chelsea Clinton is not to blame for the attacks and it's disgusting to use the massacre for cheap purity games. I'm not sure why someone who works for the Washington Examiner is getting involved, as that is a very far right paper who hates everyone involved in this argument.

That story about her husband seems to be from Tom Arnold. While I wouldn't be surprised if this man is a Trump supporter, I have a hard time believing anything Arnold says.

Seeing all those Lacey Chabert mentions in that tweet reminds me that Khan (I think) said she was one of their big names now. I guess she is. Erica Kane would be proud.

Netflix: One Day at a Time
Bringing up Sense8 does make me wonder why they didn't bring ODAAT back for at least a final wrapup movie. The cynical part of me wonders if they are going to announce a movie so they can get praise for sort of changing their minds. Last season used Mackenzie Phillips a lot more than the first two seasons did - it was nice that people got a reminder of the decent actress she is underneath all the dramas.

Netflix: One Day at a Time
It's really lovely to see the celebs who are trying so hard for the show even though they get nothing in return. It just reinforces how important One Day at a Time is to many who otherwise struggle to have a voice.
