Poor Ann. I understand her behaviour can be frustrating to the audience, but it's understandable that she would act like she does when she has been psychologically abused and manipulated by her family all her life. You can have your own strong opinions, but when everyone tells you otherwise, it's difficult for someone with low self esteem to stand up for themselves.
I remember Anne having major flaws, but I don't remember her being as unlikeable as she is in this episode. I'm also struggling to remember why I wanted her and Ann to be together. Maybe I should have rewatched the first season before beginning this one, it's been years after all.
It's pretty rare to find a decades old romance movie where the male lead isn't a total asshole.
I stan Nadine "The Incel Killer" Cross.
OMG I didn't know they made a live action adaptation of Fallout: New Vegas.
LOL, they put Stephen King in the nursing home ad. Pretty fitting.
"She may be the hottest woman on Earth." So true.
Calling an animal killer a murderer, Alina is a based vegan.
Why is the top half of everyone's faces twice as sharp as everything else? Reminds me of fanvideos on Twitter.
They really did Eleanor wrong with this episode. A woman who was cheated on shouldn't regret not fighting harder for her marriage. Also, dumbing down the female characters for the sake of exposition is not great.
Amber in bisexual lighting:heart_eyes:
Estranged husband and father finds out he has a heart after all... Zzz...
So bad it's almost good.
The movie has it's moments and the dialogue is great at times, but the editing feels like a rushed job and the dubbed over dialogue in almost every scene is too noticeable.
This was a good first episode, with the exception of the ADR being very noticeable and out of place in several scenes.
Generic movie made even worse by a soundtrack that drowns out the characters and feels totally misplaced during scenes, and whatever they did to Sela Ward's face in editing.
So many wrongs about the relationships featured on this show. Raising a child is the parent's responsibility, not their sibling's. And apparently Courtney and Bobby get together later in life even though when they meet there's a huge age gap? Disgusting.
Surprising that a show from 2007 knows what statutory rape is, although only one character comments on it.
I love how they got the actual sons of the actors to play the young versions of the characters.
Excuse me??? You can't just end the episode there :sob::sob::sob:
Men getting what they deserve, and a happy ending for the lesbians? Couldn't ask for more.
As much as I love this show, I miss The Fosters and its characters and family dynamics.
Felt more like a film about some people role-playing Austen, than an actual Austen adaptation.
Too much time spent on trying to make Anne into someone she's not (mixing modern language with history worked for Dickinson, it did not work here).
Not enough time spent on the love story, which felt more like an afterthought in the end.
At least it's pretty.
Well, that was certainly confusing.
They're really afraid of saying the word "Autism", huh?
This is probably one of the worst episodes of the show. Pierce is an awful character, and while the show labels him a racist and homophobe they are also using him as an excuse to make racist and homophobic jokes. This episode starts with Shirley (who is very much problematic as well) standing up for herself against Pierce's racism and sexual harassment, and would have been a good way for the show to say "Hey! It's not cool for people to make offensive jokes!" and either write Pierce's character out of the show or reform his character, but the show does neither. Instead they for some incomprehensible reason make Shirley and Pierce friends without him having apologised for his behaviour. (He uses a bullshit excuse that basically boils down to "sexual harassment is a compliment because you're a strong woman and I like you.") Therefore sending the message that you should respect your oppressors instead of standing up to them, because "peace" is better than change, and because you need to be the better person.
The side plot of Jeff and Britta acting like teenagers in some sort of weird competition with actual teenagers is just a waste of screen time and not funny at all. The only purpose that plot has is to establish that they are insecure, but this could've been done a lot better.
Too many one-liners and not enough substance in the dialogue. It's like it was made for posting on social media instead of standing on it's own when watching.
Imagine dying and not having anything better to drink than Coca-Cola.
"That's, like, a pyramid thing, right?" and then he goes and joins the pyramid scheme anyway, making yet another mess for Beth to clean up. Why is Dean so fucking stupid, and why hasn't Beth dumped him yet?
