Just in time for the Olympic Games.🤨 I dumped Peacock after my promotion expired way back when but I may cave for a month during the Olympics this summer.

Victoria Rowell being interviewed about her new movie on GMA and mentioned “The Gates”. Wrong network, Victoria. 😂

AFAIK, Ebony and Jet magazines made their digital archives accessible free of cost, though I know some major newspapers charge a fee for access to archives but many universities offer students and alumni access to almost any newspaper digital archive.

It would really be foolish to fail to digitize their print archive. Ebony and Jet Magazines have digitized their print editions and have made them available online. It’s particularly helpful to scholars who will be able to access the information from anywhere.

Today, I saw video of Rafa’s baby boy for the first time. He’s cute but he looks serious, kind of intense already!😂

That was a good film, probably worth a rewatch tbh, especially in the wake of the insidious and naked racism being dredged on the way to opening ceremonies in Paris this summer.

Oh no. She was wonderful on Y&R and even had a memorable in a small role on The Golden Girls. May she R.I.P.

Posted the same unfortunate news at the same time. Yup.

Oof! https://variety.com/2024/film/news/harvey-weinstein-rape-conviction-overturned-new-york-1235981890/

Another Steven Lassiter for Ashley?

JG seemed to only be engaged in writing Sharon as mentally and emotionally unstable and from what I am reading, that role is now being filled by Ashley. It doesn’t say much of his writing abilities though.

Sometimes even in politics, good sense prevails. Former Rep. George Santos ends comeback bid for Congress after raising no money

I am curious to know whether he and Melissa are on speaking terms now. I had read something from Melissa that suggested that he had cut her and other family members out of his life.

Oh, this is very sad. It was always nice to see Julia pop up from time to time in recent years, even when the storyline wasn’t that great.

Ironically, Sharon has proven to be capable of convincingly portraying a mother to her adult daughter. Perhaps because that chemistry with CG was allowed to grow as the viewers watched the character and the actress grow (oh, the possibilities when you don’t SORAS the actress).

TPTB at Y&R/Sony could have nipped this in the bud 10-12 years ago, having him improve or replaced but they chose not to, perhaps they approved of what he was doing with his performance. And here things stand, with Nick seemingly unable to demonstrate a fully organic parental relationship with his adult children.

JMO here, but once his kids get to adult stage, Nick seems to struggle to perform as a father. I haven’t watched nearly enough episodes in recent times to discern whether it’s the writing, the acting, a chemistry thing that has result from so many recasts of Noah and Summer (in addition to the SORAS) or lack of direction in each scene but in recent years, I have noticed this.

In addition to observing the operations, I’m going to go ahead and assume that Duckworth will also consult with MVJ about “what not to do”, as MVJ has seen a lot of that over decades.

You’d think, right? But the clips I saw looked absolutely atrocious! Even worse than a house full of J.J.s

Has this been confirmed? It seems as though there has been a lot of um, movement at Sony these days. Here’s another, in tangentially related news- https://www.msn.com/en-us/movies/other/norman-lear-s-producing-partner-brent-miller-launches-new-company-at-sony-pictures-tv-exclusive/ar-AA1njykt Miller has already got a strike against him, imo for that dreadful animated version of Good Times that his company is a part of.

Thanks for providing that account of the series of events. My attention waned during that period but truly hit its nadir in the final 10.
