Love how you always hear about television being heavily self-censoring back then and how they were always struggling to get things through especially with regards to sexuality/modesty (Cher causing a stir with her visible bellybutton on her show in the 70s is a well-known example).
But like... sure the captain's vacuum-packed schlong can just be there. Like yeah everyone is gonna clearly see Bill's dick. This scene will be LONG and he will be facing the camera the entire time and everyone will see. BTW this is a primetime slot family show. And we're only on the second episode. Like I get sexism is crazy and women always face more intense scrutiny but I mean... we all see his cock right?

'Over the Hedge' – animated animals take on suburbia on Netflix
It’s nature versus prefab culture in Over the Hedge (2006), the animated adaptation of the Michael Fry and T Lewis newspaper comic strip of woodland buddies confronting the foibles of 21st century life and the absurdities of suburbia. A wound up Bruce Willis voices the streetwise raccoon RJ, whose schemes collide with the implacable caution of Vern the turtle (Garry Shandling), the paternal…

What modern movie would you love to zip back in time to be "rebooted" in Old School style?
Oh incredible ask. I'm not super knowledgeable on modern movies but let's have fun pretending that via time machine, we are now getting:
Avengers: Endgame (1963)
After the devastating events of Avengers: Infinity War (1962), the universe is in ruins. With the help of remaining allies, Captain America (Burt Lancaster), Iron Man (Dean Martin), Thor (William Shatner), the Incredible Hulk (Paul Newman), Black Widow (Nancy Kwan), Hawkeye (Peter Falk), Black Panther (Sidney Poitier), Captain Marvel (Natalie Wood), Spider Man (Frankie Avalon), and more assemble again in order to restore balance to the universe.
Jurassic World (1943)
A sequel to Jurassic Park (1993), a movie that hasn't yet been made, this movie sees the creation of a genetically modified hybrid dinosaur, the Indominus Rex (modeled by Willis O'Brien), which escapes containment and goes on a killing spree. Joel McCrea stars in the Chris Pratt role; Barbara Stanwyck is Bryce Dallas Howard.
Frozen (1957)
Eyvind Earle brings the same angular, medievalist touch that he would use with such great success on Sleeping Beauty to this beautifully hand drawn classic. Pearl Bailey voices Elsa, the wounded snow queen, with Dorothy Dandridge as Anna, Rock Hudson as Kristoff, and Sterling Holloway as Olaf.
Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (1931)
Four teenagers are sucked into a magical Kinetoscope, and the only way they can escape is to work together to finish the short film. Their magical avatars are Dr. Bravestone (Noble Johnson), Moose Finbar (Bill Robinson), Ruby Roundhouse (Anna May Wong), and Dr. Sheldon "Shelly" Oberon (Claude Rains).

In a preview from his conversation with Willie Geist for Sunday TODAY, Chris Pine looked back at how much his role as Anne Hathaway’s love interest in The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement impacted his career.
Pine recalled the exact moment he got the life-changing call saying he had been cast as Nicholas Devereaux. He was on the freeway, driving his 1972 BMW that he owned since he was 16, at a time in his life when he had only booked small TV roles.
“I got a call from my agent saying I booked the job, and I pulled over to the side of the freeway, and they said, ‘You’re getting paid $65,000,'” said the actor. “It was like they had just told me I’d make $15 million.”
Pine shared that getting the call was “absolutely earth-shattering” as he was severely struggling financially. “I had an overdraft on my bank account. It was like $400 over. I was going to have to ask my parents for money, and then I got that 65,” he said.
“I remember distinctly knowing in that moment that my life had changed somehow,” Pine continued, “even though 65 at the end of the day turned out to be like $15,000.”
“And I owed my parents rent money,” he added. “But that is a wild feeling. I’ll never forget that.”
While Princess Diaries 2 was Pine’s first major role, which resulted in him being cast as the leading man in the 2006 Lindsay Lohan-starring rom-com Just My Luck two years later, Pine didn’t receive his big break until Star Trek. In the J.J. Abrams-directed reboot, Pine took over William Shatner’s role as Captain Kirk.
Two decades later, he might reunite with Mia Thermopolis. In 2022, The Hollywood Reporter announced that a third Princess Diaries movie was in the works at Disney. Pine has expressed a desire to reprise his role as Nicholas, telling Entertainment Tonight in 2023, “I’m here for it. Give me a phone call or an email.”

Honestly, the whole "Viv mentioned Rosie's the Dolly Levi of Hell. so she's ripping off Hello Dolly!".... never really bothered me because, not really?
There's been a few times where characters are pitched as being their version of some other character, like how the Warden from Superjail was pitched as a "sadistic Willy Wonka", or how Zapp Brannigan from Futurama was originally pitched as "What if William Shatner was captain of the Enterprise instead of James T. Kirk?"
The thing with Rosie is just another one of those instances. It reads less to me as "Viv's copying something maliciously" (at least in this case) and more "That anon has no idea how character pitching works".
Yeah, that one was one of those little things that wouldn't register if it were anyone else but Vivzie, the queen of unoriginal thoughts.

i ahve SO MANY HEADCANONS ABOUT TED (because i relate to him too much) and also about ted and beard’s friendship because they actually mean the world to me. here are some favs
1) ted and beard are TRANSGENDER and AUTISTIC and have ADHD!!!! beard uses he/they and ted uses he/him. beard’s gender can be best described as beard (i really hope that makes sense)
2) ted and beard echo each other’s vocal stims a lot and people will see them just repeating stuff back to each other without even looking at each other and just be like “wtf” (kind of like the time they kept repeating “plan” to each other over and over again)
3) ted and beard go nonverbal a lot and because of this both of them know ASL and will communicate during games or practice regularly
4) ted has a lot of nicknames for beard besides beard (his favorites are willy, william, and just plain ol’ will)
he also uses celebrities names as nicknames, because he thinks it’s hilarious (ie. willie nelson, william shakespeare, william shatner, etc)
5) i’m realizing now that this is the only ted centric one. oops. anyways he was the type of kid that loved bugs and rolling around in the dirt and playing in nature! he loves doodlebugs (aka roly polies, woodlouse, isopods) and it was one of his mom’s nicknames for him
sorry this is so long i spend my every waking moment thinking about this show (i have more of these. so many more. someone send help).
THISSSS ted and beard's relationship is one of my FAVORITES and ted calling him willie nelson is making me smile soso so much YES!!!!! i also like to think that if they get into a playful argument hes going to start lengthening it to stuff like "williamsoneth the third" or something equally random his big ass mind could come up with on the spot

I Watched So You Don't Have To: Stars on Mars
You may have seen that Adam Rippon is one of the cast members on the new FOX reality show, Stars on Mars. I knew this information but had no plans to watch this show, until this week when I needed to turn something on tv that would take up 5% of my brain power or less. And this fit the brief exactly.
Tumblr media
In case you are also mildly interested in what this weird show is about and what Adam is doing on it, but don't want to let it take up even 3% of your brain power, don't worry, I am here for you! Read on for a recap of Stars on Mars: Episode 1.
We open on William Shatner very dramatically telling us that twelve celebrities are going to participate in an “experiment” to find out if they can “survive life on Mars” (aka a month somewhere in Australia). The winner will earn the title of Brightest Star in the Galaxy and this made me laugh out loud because that’s it? They don’t even get any money? Just a title that is also found on a fourth grade science fair participation trophy?
Anyway, Shatner - who has very clearly not gone to Australia and is recording this somewhere in his house - tells us that this simulation will be 24 days long, and will show us which celebrities are the strongest, the brightest, the bravest, and who can handle the stress when the food runs out. We’re treated to a compilation of clips during this portion, then Shatner says, “This is: Starsssssss on Marssssssss” and the way I typed this quote does not do it justice.
We’re now introduced to the astronauts as they trudge across the surface of “Mars” into the “Hab” where they will be living. The first astronaut is Christopher Mintz-Plasse, aka McLovin’ from Superbad, and we cut to a talking head where Christopher says he’s been called McLovin for 16 years and is kind of tired of it; unfortunately for him it is what I will call him for the entirety of this recap.
We get a tour of the hab, which basically looks like every space movie you’ve ever seen, and we are introduced to the lady-voiced-AI thing that is going to be the main communication tool/voice-over element on this show. McLovin marvels that “a lot of money went into this” which, I’m not sure I agree, but okay.
Next in the hab: Ronda Rousey, “Champion Fighter” followed closely by Tom Schwartz from Vanderpump Rules who the VO tells us is “currently known for Scandavol.” Full disclosure that I have only ever seen five minutes of VPR so this man is a complete stranger to me - but I do live in the culture enough to know that his name is “Schwartz” and not “Tom.” Schwartz explains his show to McLovin, boiling it down to “people work in a bar and have sex with each other.” McLovin says, “Well, we’re not doing that here. I don’t think.”
Next up: Tallulah Willis, “Daughter of Bruce and Demi” and Adam Rippon, “Olympic Figure Skater” and the entire reason I’m even watching this show. Then Porsha Williams Guobadia, “Real Housewife” and another complete stranger to me (look, how can I find time for Bravo reality shows when I have to watch old figure skating programs on YouTube?); Tinashe, “R&B Recording Artist” who I know mostly as a regular Who? Weekly subject; Ariel Winter, “Award-Winning Actor from Modern Family” (she was the middle child); Marshawn Lynch & Richard Sherman, “Teammates and NFL Legends” who are introduced as a unit but it is unclear if they are playing as a team or not; and Lance Armstrong, “Cyclist” and look, I am not happy about his presence either.
Lance is greeted warmly by everyone in the room and Ariel gives a talking head geeking out about how Lance is a real astronaut. She makes the mistake of mentioning this to Porsha who does not appear to correct her. Unknown if Porsha was just trying not to embarrass Ariel, or if she has no idea who Lance Armstrong is either and thinks he could plausibly be an astronaut.
Shatner sends a message to the celebs explaining that every 48 hours a celebrity who is not “mission critical” will be “extracted” (he then helpfully clarifies that this just means “sent home”). He also explains that the “Base Commander” is the most powerful role in the hab as the commander is basically in charge of everything, and the commanders will be re-appointed every two days.
The celebs are instructed to select a Base Commander and we get our very first Adam Rippon Talking Head! Adam explains that everyone is figuring each other out and that no one wanted to be the first base commander. We cut to the celebs desperately pointing at each other and trying to peer pressure others into the role. Then they are informed that the Base Commander gets their own room, and Roger nominates Marshawn, who was worried about fitting into his bunk earlier. Marshawn accepts.
The first mission for the astronaut celebrities: to rescue their 12th crewmember who is trapped in a pod on the surface. Marshawn sends Lance and Ronda out for the rescue while the rest of the crew watches their progress via monitor. Adam excitedly says of the outdoor footage, “Oh my god, it looks like Mars,” and again, I’m not sure I agree, but I’m happy that he’s happy.
To no one’s surprise the rescue mission is successful and completely lacking in any kind of drama. Natasha Leggero, “Comedian,” is the final celebrity to join the hab.
Marshawn is instructed to divide the daily task list. He sends Porsha and Tallulah to sort the foods and rations (Lady Hab Voice pops up to note that there will be no resupply of the rations during their stay and I'm sure this will be a major issue later in the series).
After a few shots of people doing their assigned tasks we cut to Adam, finally, since he is the only part of the show I care about. He and Ariel are dusting “the patches” which are basically Mars-themed Scout badges. Adam Talking Heads that he assumes the patches are probably something they will earn on missions throughout the show. It is unclear if the show thinks this is some sort of amazingly smart deduction on Adam’s part or if it, like me, assumes that Adam has watched a reality competition show at least once in his life and simply took the very tiny step needed to reach this conclusion.
Adam tells Ariel that he actually loves cleaning and organizing, and she excitedly says she does too. Adam asks, with true joy in his eyes, if she likes folding things. She says laundry is her favorite. I do not understand these people.
We cut between some other small talk and talking heads. Marshawn and Lance argue about who is more of an athlete, and how Marshawn did not throw Lance’s doping in his face during this conversation I will truly never know.
Adam has clearly been tasked by production to explain the basics of this game in his talking heads, because he again tells us that they are “trying to figure each other out and learning to work together” since “that will be important the longer they stay in the game.”
A bunch of snippets of general “get to know you” convos: the group chats about how famous Tallulah’s parents are; Porsha and Natasha chat about their kids; Lance and Marshawn and Ronda chat about sports again; Lance feels weird about sharing a bathroom; Ariel admits to Porsha and Tinashe that she has confused Lance with Neil Armstrong. Then everyone goes to bed. Natasha says, “Goodnight honey,” to Adam and it makes sense those two would be fast friends.
An alarm goes off in the middle of the night and Shatner appears to tell them that “Martian Dust” is headed their way and has already knocked their comms satellite over. They need to go repair it, and if they do it they will earn a patch. Everyone seems totally wowed by this patch information so maybe we were supposed to think that Adam was a genius earlier.
Tallulah is chosen to be a mission specialist and is staying behind with Marshawn while everyone heads to the surface. “Let’s save this satellite!” Adam says. He looks great in this space suit.
Adam’s talking head is back with more general reality show basics, namely that even though they are stressed about this mission they have to focus and do a good job, because ultimately “the name of the game is that someone has to go home.”
The celebs walk out into a windstorm and Tallulah and Marshawn direct the crew in repairing the satellite. Adam says that “this is not what (he) signed up for” but Adam, I’m pretty sure it is. 
Once again this mission is successful and not all that dramatic, even as all the celebs tell us how stressed they all are and how hard this was. (Assembling an Ikea dresser looks far more difficult than this satellite repair job.) Natasha does say at one point that she was trying to stay out of the way in the “loser area” along with McLovin and Adam. 
McLovin says he thinks they all would have died if it was really Mars, and I suppose this statement is technically true but also it’s kind of like when I cut through an empty parking lot after my driver’s test and the examiner said, “if there were cars here you’d be running them over right now.” I would not have done that if there were cars there?? And these people would not be asked to repair a satellite on actual Mars. Anyway.
Marshawn and Tallulah are told to identify the three astronauts least critical to mission success. This is revealed by Marshawn calling the “Mission Critical” celebrities one-by-one back into the hab and handing them - hold onto your hats because none of us saw this prize coming - a patch.
The three least mission critical celebrities: Adam, McLovin, and Schwartz. McLovin says, “aw man, the three fragile white boys!” as they give each other a group hug. They are then each asked to explain to the Mission Critical celebs why they should stick around. 
McLovin says he didn’t participate in the mission because he was removing himself from the situation since there were too many people trying to do the job.
Adam says he’s mission critical because he’s one of the hottest people there and “I think that’s important for any kind of challenge that we do. I’m just being honest.” This earns a big laugh and applause from the already-safe crew, and someone says, “He’s right!” LOL.
Schwartz reminds them all that he was the one that actually made a major repair on the satellite and the group immediately says, “oh yeah” and lets him into the hab. He gives Adam a big hug and assures him, “You are very hot.”
So that leaves Adam and McLovin as our bottom two. The group decides that Adam is more mission critical than McLovin, which means our favorite Olympic-figure-skater-turned-astronaut gets let back into the hab, and that I have to watch this show for another week.
McLovin wanders to the extraction point and gives an exit interview from the suddenly calm Mars surface without his space helmet on, and it’s hilarious how soon after elimination the faux-Mars premise is dropped.
Tune in next week (or don’t) for some arguing and more “space” adventures that appear to include a fire in the hab and something to do with a bunch of water on the Mars surface that I have many questions about! The previews indicate that Adam will eventually get a headset to lead a mission at some point, so we'll how that goes. See you next time.

Wednesday's temperature check (1/3)
I learned a little bit about the US copyright law yesterday.  Back in 1998, thanks to some WWE-level arm twisting by “The Walt Disney Company”, who was afraid the imminent expiration of the Steamboat Willie rights, American singer, songwriter, actor, and politician, Sonny “Salvatore” Bono, championed the Sonny Bono Act (aka Mickey Mouse Protection Act, aka Copyright Term Extension Act).  Thus, the copyrights of intellectual property were extended to 95 years.  A quick math check leads us to acknowledge that anything written in 1928 becomes public domain on January 1, 2024.  Well, Steamboat Willie was written in 1924 (and is now public domain)!  Now, get ready for “Steamboat Willie” horror films.  When Winnie-the-Pooh transitioned to public domain last year, we got “Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey”.  It is a movie so bad, it is literally described in the title, “poo”! (3% on Rotten Tomatoes, btw).  So, as an obvious act of defiance to the same company that, in 1989, threatened a lawsuit to force the removal of murals featuring their cartoon figures from the walls of three Florida day care centers, get ready for “Mickey’s Mouse Trap”.  From the trailer, it looks like Steamboat Willie meets the Ghostface from Scream.  Sure, it’s no inside-out William Shatner mask, but partially melting Mickey’s face over an open flame like a S’More is all that’s needed to top 3% on Rotten Tomatoes.   Why do these post-Disney public domain childhood ruining movies have to be slasher films?  How about a war film like, “Mickey-heimer”.  Instead of an atomic bomb, the Americans drop a 355-foot nuclear-powered mouse on Tokyo that wreaks havoc until the Japanese surrender.  Or maybe a rom-com where a street-walking mouse is picked up by a rich, powerful corporate raider from NYC.  Mickey eventually realizes that this plot is the same as two other Disney properties not yet in the public domain and is sued for all the profits.  It’s an incredible lack of imagination on the part of these single-digit thrill seeking movie maker (Editor’s note: maker is doing a lot of work in that sentence).  Anyway, I’m waiting for January 1, 2033 when the rights to “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” expire.  I want to see what kind of horrible mischief is up in that film.  I could imagine a ghost ship named the “Snow White” as it travels from unsuspecting town to unsuspecting town in search of the last of the cursed pirate gold, but running into a former weird, but uncursed captain along the way.  Perhaps we can call it, “Snow White and the Seven Wharves”. 
Anyway, stay safe!
