The problem is that plotting should not mean laughing in the corner the first chance she gets. She could be plotting in a way that we don't even see it in the beginning or just suspect it. Why can't they just write her in a way that is similar to the early years Sheila - we see that she is doing something sinister, but she is also fighting with herself not to do it in that constant good vs evil battle inside her. And in the end you always ended up somehow rooting for her. I know Bradley can't think in multi-dimensional way, but I think it's too early for the evil laughing in the corner. Why did we have to endure all this sh-t with the toes, the dungeon and watching Steffy tell Finn how she is better dead for weeks... if we're back to basics so soon? Was all of this only so that Finn and Hope grow closer? Did we really need to dig Sugar up from her grave for this? Bradley does not want to wait or build anything slowly and meaningfully. It would have been better if Sheila really looked reformed now. I mean - really changed for months and months and THEN - reveal to someone - it could be a friend or even Deacon, but I would prefer someone else - that she orchestrated months and months of things happening. It would have made a deeper impact. Now we all know what she is doing and it's boring. Bradley should watch more Alfred Hitchcock movies. He should learn something about suspense. What you don't see is scarier than what you see. Sheila was always scarier when you were not sure what she was about to do. That's my two cents. Now they will repeat the Brooke and Deacon kiss - changed wine bottled scenario, with Hope and Finn. I don't know what she will do this time, but it will be cartoonish.

They need to establish a strong family conflict with Luna and Will. These two should not like each-other. At least Will should be untrusting of her and her mother. I don't want to see the typical, sentimental, happy-Hallmark movie - I love you, my new found sister, I love you, my new found brother-thing, that Bradley always does. Young people have conflict too, and they dislike each-other too. Make Will more conniving and more smart than the others. He has Logan and Spencer blood for God's sake. I want a young antagonist. Cool one.

Yeah, looks nothing like Finn. I don't even understand why someone is drawing comparisons.

That's how I feel at 2 in the morning.

Various... but mostly 1989-1992.

My opinion is this - I don't care who a woman likes or is politically drawn to, I don't care if in her spare time she reads black magic wicca rituals... - when it comes to ABUSE - AN ABUSED WOMAN IS AN ABUSED WOMAN! No IFS and not BUTS. I sympathize with ANY victim of abuse and will never ever draw parallels to or even hint of them deserving it, because this or that. We are human beings after all, not some deranged wild animals. If a woman is a bad human being or associates with bad human beings, I can judge them, choose not to socialize with them, ignore them...yes, but not support SEXUAL ABUSE towards them. I am not saying anyone here does. I am just saying how I feel.

The current RJ's cakes have more screen presence than some other "actors". LOL. But bringing the topic back - what a stunning face indeed!

People who don't wash vegetables and fruit well enough and expect me to eat them when I am visiting them or around them. This has happened so many times... I've been sitting at a table and noticing a dirty leaf of lettuce... or a friend literally opening a sealed bag of fruit and just putting them on a plate without washing first. Disgusting. And thank God I always look carefully. But even if I look, sometimes I just say No, because I don't trust them. Just recently I was out with a friend and she bought some cherries from the store, started eating them while we were walking and asked me if I wanted one. Of course not! And I told her how she is risking her health not washing them. One of my neighbors' ate unwashed fruit and got a horrible case of worm infestation, which nearly killed him. He survived after multiple surgeries!

I've hear similar stories about when the show was airing in Russia. One of my friends used to tell me years and years ago that when russians want to say that some family is bad or rotten, the always say - They are Santa Barbara. It has become a part of the urban dictionary. Iconic.

Purple Noon - An adaptation of the book The Talented Mr. Ripley. Masterpiece. I have no other words to describe this cinematic work of art. From the dynamic and always surprising script, to the wonderful acting and stunning visuals... I am in awe of this movie.

I've been watching scenes from periods where Agnes Nixon was a HW and... woah, the show had such class and intelligence to it.

Just watched. Uuugh, the amateur acting hour is back. Can this show have an acting coach on salary...? Is it so expensive? Bradley, if you read this, honey - spent some money on a professional who can help. First, the AI robot is once again saying Sorry to his wife and acting like a scared little dog. God forbid his wife says he can't do something. I am tired of the same old repeated scenes and dialogue. I swear Finn and his wife don't talk about anything other than NOT talking about Sheila. She has been the main topic and obsession and pretty much every conversation is about her. This has been going on for years now. Let's move on, shall we? And Brooke going like a complete fool and spilling everything to Deacon, in the presence, of course of Saint Sheila, lurking in the bushes. Did I tell you guys It will be a week or two before we see this exact scene of Sheila smiling in the corner? Well of course now Sheila will orchestrate a scenario in which Hope and Finn are dangerously close or make it seem like they are in front of Steffy. I am reading this show months in advance.

Anything above this will be an improvement. 0416.mp4.fa9d77528b5cd1199fbae592a8a9cb34.mp4
