ACT ONE: The Photo Shoot, part one

prologue

summary of the series: for months, leon has been writhing in his bed dreaming of his friend's wife (you). he's been fighting the desperation for months until that one night you bring up a lingerie shoot you've done for a prestigious brand.

summary of this part: recalling the first time you and leon met, you've realized you've been poorly treated by your husband. leon is no different, in a toxic relationship with his wife, ada wong. as the seeds of resentment have begun to germinate, the desire for you grows like a brush fire nearby.

warnings: MENTIONS OF PUKE, BUT NOT ACTUAL PUKING, leon teaches you how to smoke (i don't wanna see no dumb stupid comments about "oh but leon hates smoking", well leon isn't disloyal but here we are), brief use of (adjective) girl (atta girl, good girl, silly girl), praise, mentions of misogyny (not from Leon ofc), awkward, tense ass convos, a fuckton of desc. and a little description, no sex (yet ;) ), cussing, descriptions of fucking, descriptions of masturbation, semi-public masturbation, almost caught masturbating, slight corruption kink (? if you squint), alcohol consumption, use of tobacco, smoking, implied sexual references, etc.

also a/n, writing this as of feb. 2nd, 2024: 60 notes?!!!!! i was writing this for my own personal pleasure but like...??!?! i got reblogged so many times?! im gagged, tysm you guys!!! making a playlist rn, so excited to release the soundtrack. if you see little random edits, i'm probably obsessing over the fic and trying to make it perfect lol/anticipate changes. i would also like to write I DO NOT CONDONE CHEATING! always communicate with your partner, discuss issues, etc. this fic is just a lil’ taboo type of fantasy, do NOT cheat on your partners.

The first time you met Leon was at a grocery store: two weeks before your husband would have any idea of his existence and one week before he had invited Leon and his wife, Ada, over for dinner. You were picking up a bottle of red wine for you and your husband under the guise of wanting something nice for date night. The reality would actually be you were buying it for yourself after your husband decides you're not worth his affections anymore, lazily mosey on over to the spare room, and pull out his phone to text other women. The wine would be something to drink to inebriate you while you watched a shitty re-run of a sitcom from the 90s. Maybe if you got lucky, Golden Girls was on.

He was only browsing, stumbling upon the liquor section and staying to look if there would be anything worthwhile. And there was. It was you. He knew he had to think of something witty, something cool people say, before you left and thought he was some creep staring at you because he saw a smidgen of your breasts in a magazine. "You're a famous model, right?" He asked. Oh, how stupid he felt. He was a chronic overthinker: thinking of every last terrible scenario, a trait he picked up after becoming an agent. This had certainly felt like one of the worst options he picked, especially with how you would-- You interrupted him. "Yeah, that's me." The subtle sweetness, the slight rasp in your voice was better than anything any street drug could offer with the amount of dopamine flooding into his brain: overloading every neuron, synapse, dendrite, and cell membrane in his body.

But for whatever reason, he stretched his hand outwards and lazily grinned towards you. "I'm Leon." "Nice to meet you. Well, I'd say my name but y'know..." He nodded in an awkward agreement before you could even finish your sentence, but not daring to go as far to interrupt you. He felt as if he already started off the conversation with a cumbersome beginning. "Right, right. So, that's your real name? I see a lot of models use stage names n' stuff like that." He adjusts his weight from one foot to the other, switching the hand holding his grocery basket from his right to his left. He felt so...awkward around you. Maybe it was the fact you were a famous model, or maybe it was the fact you were just so calm. The joke causes a soft chuckle to leave your lips and the mere look of a fleeting moment of bliss to cross over your features makes his knees turn into gelatin. Those nerves solidify into stone when the overwhelming sense of guilt hits him like a tidal wave but allows it to wash over him for the sake of continuing the conversation.

"Yeah, just my regular name. I'm not that creative outside of modeling. Usually the photographers do the thinking and the creative processes for me." He chuckled, shaking his head and barely moving himself a little closer. Leon wanted to sink in that gentle, warm, and soft presence you carried around with you. Your aura felt comforting: like a hug after a tough day: it had felt so much more different than his wife. True, Ada could be affectionate but that's usually only after something good has happened to her or Leon was her last resort of attention. He really hated how much he would act like an obedient dog, awaiting her arrival home, coming back to her after she's treated him like dirt. You? You felt so goddamn altruistic and considerate. And he's only known you for three minutes.

You notice he's gone silent and you're silently hoping he thought you were cool. Cool. Like a teenager trying to fit in. You silently cringe at yourself until he smiles at you, almost like he's signaling you to continue the conversation. You can't think of any conversation starters. And you're a model for gods sake. You're usually so outgoing and social with other people but now it's like a cat came by and stole your voice box. Thankfully, he takes over that portion for you. "Buying wine?" He knew it was dry as all hell but he wanted to steer the conversation away from him being a fan of your modeling gigs. No, he just wanted to talk to you and discover what you were like behind the camera. (Okay, and maybe he wanted to see if you'd flirt with him.) "Yup. But I'm just buying wine for..." You paused, about to say 'for me and my husband' but your throat becomes dry whenever you feel like you're about to announce it to him. "...Myself."

He smiles. He likes that you're awkward in real life. The fact made you feel more real, like you weren't just some sexy model with expensive tastes and a bratty attitude. You were a person like anyone else.

"Right. Me too, just uh...just browsing." You nod, fidgeting anxiously with the sleeves of the coat you decided to toss on last minute before leaving the house.

The conversation went on to end when you eventually realized you would be home late. Although you thought that worrying your husband a little would be the thing that reignited the spark in your marriage, you knew that punctuality was a habit you'd like to upkeep. That, and you also knew if you talked to this handsome stranger for longer, you'd cheat on your husband. That night, Leon had fallen asleep to the thought of you for the first time. Soft little visions of pressing his lips against yours, caressing your cheek softly and whispering sweet nothings into your ear, etc, etc, cheesy lovey dovey bullshit. So much more different than the truly filthy thoughts he had about you nowadays. You're torn from your conversation with your friends when you make eye contact with him. You can practically feel his eyes travel from the hair at the highest point on your head to the very last bit of your black, leathery heels with perfect pretty pearls embellished on the pump. For a moment, you feel like you're trapped in some type of horny labyrinth while you stare longingly at him.

He's ripped out of his own longing by the feeling of your husband's hand slapping his back. Ada sat beside Leon with her arm protectively wrapped around his bicep. You felt as if the gesture were a signal to everyone at the party that Leon belonged to her. He was under her control, nobody else's. Or maybe the protective message was for her husband, as if he was an unruly friend to her husband. And you could agree with that. You fell in love with your husband because he was wild and care-free but after the diamond ring was slipped onto your ring finger, you realized he was also carefree in the sense that hurt you: talking to other women behind your back, and leaving for days at a time only to come back inebriated. But you stood by his side, no matter what. You hated how you felt like a doormat but you didn't know what else to do besides stay married and play the role of an oblivious wife while your husband fucks other women in various positions. In a way, you and Leon sat in the same loveless boat. Who knew when that same boat would be shaking from the violence of the both of you fucking, clothing pulled out and to the side instead of being fully taken off. Your thoughts become interrupted by an unmistakably handsome voice.

"Hey."

You feel a hand being placed upon your lower back except it's so much more different than your husband's. The palms were rough, callouses inside the nooks and crannies, and pulsing veins make you all dizzy if you thought about it for too long. His voice was dampened with some undertone of lust, his fingers prodding into the skin of your sides. He's always been a little too handsy for a man that's supposed to happily married. But you always figured touch was how he communicates: touch. But he's never touchy with your husband. Or any of your friends. And he missed you? Sure, your're friends due to the fact your husband was friends with Leon. (Even though you met him first, but I digress.) The simple phrase had your mind reeling, cheeks flushed red due to the hidden intimacy of it all. His wife shoots him a look and his hand immediately retreats back to his side, fighting the urge to palm the engorged erection struggling against the seam of his boxers. "Haven't seen you in so long, hm? Thought you disappeared on me for a minute." He's holding his facade of being totally and irrevocably in love with Ada up and steady. Like he had no feelings for you other than being friends.

"Of course not." You murmur, feeling a hearty chuckle reverberate from his chest. He takes his index finger and his thumb and gently swiping it against your chin.

"Atta girl." And of course, with how hoarse his voice is, your panties are instantly puddled with a thick pool of arousal. You hate his stupid, thick, sexy, and deep voice. You especially hate his voice whenever you imagine him degrading and praising you whenever your husband was away and you just happened to have your hand down your underwear, playing with your clit to ease the throbbing impulses you felt for Leon. He gives your back a single pat before moving back to stand beside his wife. You really hate that you feel jealousy flare like wildfire within you, but you brush it off.

Everyone would eventually be drawn to the several dining tables that were arranged in a group and had golden candlesticks and smooth white tablecloths on top. Once you are seated, you observe that Leon appears to be striving extra hard to guarantee his place beside you. He looks right at you for a brief moment. And only then can you see, just a hint of thirst sprouting in his eyes, before he glances away from you and gives Ada a quick smile while patting her thigh.

It's only a few minutes before Leon decides to break the awkward silence.

"How's that modeling gig going?" You nod, gulping down way too much champagne.

"Good, been going good. Have to admit it gets a little boring posing in front of the camera after a while but can't bite the hand that pays you, right?" You joke, and the table laughs with some sense of jealousy. "Nice to hear. What was your latest shoot?" He asked, leaning forward in a sudden rush of intrigue. Then those words pass your lips. Words he had never anticipated, even in his wildest guess (oddly.)

"A lingerie shoot. For Chanel." The table goes quiet. And everyone, including your dumb-ass husband, look at you. Someone (Ada) clears their throat in the dining room, hinting at you to elaborate and it's almost like you suddenly developed to ability to hear from light years away.

Leon, who had just finally got his goddamn boner under control feels his cock twitch back to life, fully hard instead of a semi this time. And correct him if he's wrong, but he starts to feel pre-cum smearing his dress pants. He's thankful he chose the black slacks instead of his lighter colored ones otherwise this would be downright humiliating.

"Sorry, um...I did an intimates photo-shoot for Chanel a few weeks ago for their new line of clothing." That seems to help lighten the mood a lot more because everyone goes back to their conversation with their respective friends, the embarrassing "confession" from you immediately leaving their minds. "The theme was Overtime. Like, staying later in the office with my shirt unbuttoned and stuff. Nothing that interesting."

The table simultaneously nodded, Leon going as far to excuse himself for a cigarette.

"If you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go have a smoke." Leon scoots out from his seat, heading towards the upstairs balcony to take care of business. Asshole, leaving me with his mean ass wife.

You decide to join him outside.

The air had finally gotten too tense, felt too judgmental for your taste. Scampering outside, you're met with the sight of Leon smoking a cigarette outside. That's odd: you've usually pegged him to be the straight-laced, no-nonsense type of man yet here he was, smoking a cigarette while leaning against the balustrade of their friend's top floor home. At the sound of the balcony door opening, he turns his head to see what you're doing out here. His eyes scan you, almost like he would while he's in combat but it's more or less to get another glimpse of the outfit you were wearing tonight. Okay, and maybe he wanted to commit the sight of you to memory.

"You alright?" He asked, trying his best to look straight forward when you step closer and cross your arms over the balustrade.

"M'fine, just needed a minute of fresh air, I think." When you sit beside Leon, there's a few things you notice. The first was his outfit. A white button-up that usually would be covered by his black suit jacket, though he left it behind on his chair in the dining room. There's also mentioning his blacks slacks, fitting his muscular thighs a bit tight but loose enough so they're comfortable. Then there's the dress shoes, ones he wore at his wedding due to how overly formal they looked. Maybe he wanted to get some more use out of them? Who knows.

"What about you? Why are you out here?" You decided to be the one to take the reigns since the air outside had become incredibly awkward as well. "Same. Thought I'd take a minute of fresh air, you know?" The second thing you notice about Leon is how much he calms you. More importantly, how much you never noticed that you were anxious when you were around others. He had this aura of relaxing or maybe you were just buzzed, who knows that either? Maybe it's the cigarette, speaking of...

"I haven't smoked since college. Cigarettes, I mean. Don't think I even know how to do it anymore." The confession makes his head tilt to the side, now taking more of an interest in the conversation than before. He grinned wolfishly, taking your chin in one of his thick and strong hands and pulling your head forward. For a second, you could almost be dumb enough to think he'd be moving in for a kiss. Of course not. You'd never be that lucky. "Open f'me, sweetheart." And like an obedient puppy, you opened your mouth just enough so your pretty pink-shaded lips could be parted. He placed the cigarette on your lip, the moisture making the filter stay in your mouth alongside his index and middle finger holding it up, thumb brushing your chin. Little hazes of grey smoke dance along your tongue without even taking a sip of the smoke yet, your lips trembling with a lustful agony. "Now close your mouth..." He whispered, his damp and hot and horny breath hitting your ear like an affectionate declaration of love. "And inhale."

You close your lips around the cigarette, faintly tasting the flavor of him where he had sucked on the cigarette. You got notes of citrus, rum or some expensive, top-shelf label of whiskey he used to help quell the pain he experienced on grueling missions, tobacco, and maybe even the slightest hint of his wife's lipstick. Chanel's Rogue Allure, if you had to guess correctly. "...Now hold it..."

You held it. "Silly girl." He whispered, pulling the cigarette away from your lips while you slowly exhaled the rest of the smoke you've been holding in your mouth and then some. You can't tell if it's because of the alcohol, Leon's presence, or your mere anxiety but you begin to feel dizzy. Thankfully Leon seems to swoop in with his questions to keep your head in the game. Bless him.

"Why'd you need a minute, huh?"

For a minute there, you didn't know how to respond. Looking down at the leathery pumps you chose for the evening, you begin to wonder why you even chose them instead of answering his question. But you answered him. Eventually.

"I'm just tired. This whole night just seems a bit…” You gesture to the party in the background. “Fake. I don’t want to be here."

He hummed in agreement, but it felt like more of a signal for you to keep going. "I'm also just terrible at making conversation. Especially when it's awkward and silent."

His eyes flicker down to the pumps he'd already stared at tonight, not finding an interest in them anymore than your own body. He tucked his lip between his teeth, pulling the pink flesh away from his mouth before he spoke up again. "You're not that bad, you know? I think you're pretty good. How about this?" He pauses. Then a beat passes.

"Tell me something true. Tell me something you wouldn't brag to anyone about." He moved his cigarette to rest on the balustrade instead of the space between his fingers. "Something that's yours...and only yours."

You look at Leon with wide eyes, mouth agape as you struggle to answer his question. Your eyes rake down his face from the space between his eyebrows to his parted, pink lips: just a little chapped from the cold chill of the night air. You wanted to kiss him. All of those times you've had him over for dinner, all of those times you've spent with your hand down your panties while your husband was away on "business": dreaming of his best friend, Leon, and god, all of those times you thought about throwing caution to the wind and leaning in to press your lips against his: the sum of all of those moments had you quivering for more.

But you'd never cheat. You have a reputation. You have a husband that gifted you the pretty diamond ring on your finger. But how did it always feel so...impossible? Like you couldn't live another day if you weren't able to fuck Leon like a rabid dog in heat. But he was staring at you, almost as if his eyes were laser beams and searing holes into your skin: you had to answer.

"I don't know what I could tell you that's only mine." You chew on your lip. "Huh. How about..."

How about the fact I wanna kiss you? I wish it was you I was in bed with rather than my stupid, cheating husband? The fact you are so much hotter than him?

"I hate being a trophy." And that brings the biggest grin on Leon's face. A massive shit-eating grin. Leon had gone stir crazy. He wanted to peel your entire being open, see all of the nooks and crannies of your soul and devour it whole. But now wasn't the time to scare you away: even if he wanted to fuck you, you were still a friend to him. So he calmed down. "I can't say that's too surprising. I mean, who would? Being able to be pretty and have money being tossed at you is nice until you want something deeper. Then it seems like one of the only things that are scarce in your life."

You nod, letting out a breath of consolation. "That's exactly how I feel. Like my only purpose is to sit still, look pretty, serve my husband, and be a hole when he needs it."

His eyes become downcast, looking down at the garden on the ground level of the restaurant. "I get what you mean." The moment was interrupted by a waiter peeking out on the two of you: head poked outside of the door that lead to the outside area. He pulls his hand away from your soft skin and back to his side, sighing wistfully that tonight wouldn't be the night he gets to act on his desires for you. Damn it all to hell.

"You should head back. I'll be back, yeah?" You nod and within a few seconds, you've returned to your spot at the dinner table. He sighs, hand slipping down to palm at his erection. Fuck. Can't go back like this.

Just resist. You're just another woman. You have a husband, He thinks to himself, I'm married to a lovely woman. I am a faithful husband. The silent mantra he practices on himself works about as well as a band-aid on a bullet hole. Resist. God, but you looked so pretty tonight. That cute jewelry set you wore with your little black dress? Hot. The smoothness of your skin?

Resist.

But he can't stop picturing you on your knees in front of him, sucking on his cock. The sounds your perfect, wet mouth would make. How he'd ease himself down your throat. How you'd whine.

Resist.

Or how about when he could be fucking his cock into your tight, wet, and warm cunt? The tip of his dick kissing your cervix? Or what about the positions he could force your body into? Like having his arm around your throat, bicep curling into your mouth to muffle your moans from his wife hearing? Or how one of his hands would be gripping your hips while he needily plowed into your pussy, while you begged him to let up. Resist.

Resist.

Fuck it.

In the few moments after he's excused himself from you, he's already rushing to the upstairs bathroom of the restaurant: thanking the holy beings above for making it a single stall bathroom for his jerking pleasure. He hastily unbuckles his belt with one hand, other hand impulsively opening Twitter as a first resort to find some fashion fanatic post about the slutty lingerie photo-shoot you did for Chanel. Alas, you're still a bit of an undiscovered goddess in the modeling industry at the moment: so Google is his next best option. He pulls out his half-hard but hardening cock from his jeans before he can even find your photo-shoot and gives it a quick few pumps to ease the throbbing that's starting to build up in his loins. Eventually, he finds it. Thank fucking god because the creativity for his fantasies are beginning to run quite dry. And instantly he's grunting and groaning while he strokes his cock and scrolls through the multiple scandalous photos the photographers took of you.

"Fuck." He winces in pleasurable agony as he stares at quite possibly his favorite photo of you. The photo was in black and white: theme being "Overtime" like you mentioned. The white button up shirt was undone, revealing you had nothing on underneath, and allowed for the side of your perfect breasts to be revealed. If he squinted just a little harder, he could see your puffy nipples threatening to peek out of the shirt. He tried squinting a little harder to see your nipples a little easier. And oh my god. You have piercings?! He almost shot his entire load on the spot. God, he needed to fuck you. And hard. He groans as he feel himself get closer to orgasm. Closer, and closer, until--

"Leon?"

Fuck. It was you. God, of course you're so goddamn sweet, checking up on him to make sure he's okay. He didn't dare stop stroking himself off, especially not when he's got jerk-worthy material of you almost catching him. That's also not mentioning the soft intonations of your almost innocent voice right there. He's trying not to cum too quick, wanting to savor those images for as long as he could but he also realized his wife might start asking some questions and she wouldn't be on the other side of the door if she came upstairs. "F-fuck, yeah?" He responded after much too long of hearing your sweet voice. "Did you need something?" "Are you okay? I just got worried when you left. You've been gone for like..." You check your wristwatch: a classic and dainty Timex from the 80s with a blank band that wrapped around your wrist snugly.

"Fifteen minutes. Do you need water? Ibuprofen?" He shakes his head as if you could see him while he continues to jerk himself off, hand swirling in a sort of cranking motion as he tries to work his cock to orgasm. But his pre-cum isn't coming out fast enough, not as fast as the pumping motions his hand was doing right now, so he spits in his hand before bringing his palm back down to his cock and lathering his dick in spit. You believe him enough to think he might be getting ready to vomit.

"Nah, jus'...ngh, drank too much, I think." Please keep talking, He selfishly thinks to himself. "Oh, okay. Well, if you need anything, just text me?" He nodded, grunting out a thank you while he continues to dream of ruthlessly fucking you until you're embedded into his mattress. He wants you. He needs you. He feels himself get a little closer until he finally releases into his fist. His hot and sticky cum ran down his palm while the waves of post-orgasmic bliss and post-nut clarity simultaneously moved together as one. For a few minutes, he's panting like a rabid dog in heat until his breath eventually stills and he's able to walk downstairs and look his wife in the face while giving her the impression that he definitely didn't just masturbate to his best friend's wife. When he sits down at the table, the first person he makes eye contact with is you. You smile at him, mouthing a "you okay?" because, of course, you're still worried about him being sick. He nods with a grin peeled onto his face. Because he came to the sound of your voice. And you didn't have a fucking clue.

also, what is "Please Stand By"? The MCU one!

OKAY (this is the "tell us about your WIP documents" meme from the other day) --

This is prrrrobably going to be my longfic after I finish and post Lent From Tomorrow, and it's the "Bucky follows Wanda into the Hex" fic inspired by this amazing gifset. SWORD realizes that they can't negotiate with Wanda through terrorizing her, so they bring in Sam and Bucky to try to reason with her. Instead, Wanda's offer of happiness is too tempting for Bucky and he follows her into the Hex to exist in a universe where Steve really stayed with him until the end of the line.

But.

Bucky doesn't remember doing that, because he's in the Hex. His reality is what's happening inside the Hex.

It starts with either a The Honeymooners or an I Love Lucy chapter in the 1950s -- I can't decide whether I want the shenanigans to be more working-class Honeymooners/their actual life in Brooklyn-ish or if I want the sitcom fantasy of I Love Lucy. But either way, it's very chaste and 1950s and they sleep in separate beds and are just Happy. Nothing is wrong! Everything is a shenanigan! More silly than scary! Everything is perfect!

Then there's an Odd Couple 1960s chapter. Technically The Odd Couple was 1970-75, but the Dick Van Dyke show was WandaVision's 1950s inspo even though it was on in the '60s, so whatever. ALTERNATELY: Hogan's Heroes, because uh, Bucky was literally a POW of the Nazis for 70 years, and this would be the first clue that Something Is Amiss Because Life Isn't Perfect, but I think that's too on the nose. And I like the idea of Stucky being The Odd Couple for a chapter. I think it would be a subtle way to start letting Bucky vent his anger with Steve for leaving him without actually remembering why he's so angry with Steve.

The 1970s is Starsky & Hutch, so we're moving out of sitcoms and into mystery and also Slashy Content. Steve and Bucky are partners trying to solve [idk some Hex-related mystery, maybe seeded by Agatha?] and exchanging Heated Glances and innuendo. And then... Bucky is injured, either while mystery-solving or just cuts his left hand while making eggs or a drink or something. But his left hand doesn't bleed. It's the opposite of the Dottie moment from episode 2 of WandaVision. Something is wrong with Bucky's left arm. It's--it's not actually real.

INSERT FLASHBACK CHAPTER of Bucky getting the call from SWORD and entering the Hex, a la episode four of WandaVision.

The 1980s is Miami Vice. It's darker, sexier. A lot of exposed chesticles for both Steve and Bucky. Steve and Bucky have conflict about Lady Of The Week romance subplots being privileged over their relationship to each other, probably. Bucky's metal arm is back.

The 1990s, I'm tempted to have just straight-up be Law & Order as they try to figure out what the fuck is happening with the Hex and with their relationship to each other, but also -- and I'm sorry @therebeccaw -- very few TV shows are LESS sexy than Law & Order, and I want Steve and Bucky to bang at SOME point, so IDK. Also I'm torn about the mystery angle and I sort of want it to be Full House and have Bucky get to have one last chance at a Happy Perfect Life With Steve before he admits that none of this is real and returns to reality? Unsure.

2000s/2010s -- You know what? I'm tempted to make this one Psych, which is like a cross-section of sitcom and mystery show. Steve and Bucky are good, they're happy, Bucky is resolving his feelings about what happened in Endgame and just... wants to enjoy what time he has left with Steve, because he can feel in his bones that this will be ending soon. Even if Steve isn't real, Bucky wants to have his best friend back, wants to have the love of his life by his side. He knows, like Shawn knows that he's not a psychic, that none of what's happening in Westview is real. But it's okay. He can keep pretending.

Possible flashback chapter of their whole life experience together, from being kids in Brooklyn through the War and into the MCU stuff, a la Previously On, which is one of the best TV episodes of all time imo.

And the big ending -- IS Steve not real, and just made of Bucky's sadness and hope and love? Is he just Bucky's grief persevering?

Or, is Steve also hiding out in Westview, having given the mantle of Captain America to Sam?

I'm genuinely undecided which it'll be, so we shall see. Please stand by.

Dear Festividder...

Some ideas if you’re vidding for me and would like more to go on!

Music: I genuinely like most things! If a steer is helpful though, my most-listened-to genres are towards the pop/folk/soft rock/female singer-songwriters end. But the most important thing is that you choose the song that works for you and the vid! I would really appreciate if you could avoid death metal-style vocals, Ronan Keating and Sia.

Visuals: I would appreciate if you could avoid flicker/strobe/film damage-type effects!

General: Found family, happiness, teams, shenanigans and fun, character studies, relationship studies that aren't necessarily shippy, angst, feelings!

Specifics for individual fandoms:

Abbott Elementary Heartwarming workplace sitcom (36 x 20-ish mins)

I love everyone in this elementary school! You can't go wrong here but some specific ideas I'd love to see - something about Barbara's mentorship of Janine, something about Barbara and her perspective on the school more generally and her relationships with the younger crew, including Ava, something about Barbara and Melissa (femslash or friendship), a character vid about Gregory (potentially that leans into reading him as autistic if you vibe with that), a Janine/Gregory vid!

Bugs ‘90s futuristic cybersecurity action-adventure nonsense (40 x 50 mins)

Something about my childhood crush amazing hacker badass Ros being cool and amazing would be wonderful! I also really enjoy the original OT3 of Ros/Beckett/Ed and it would be really fun to see a vid for them, although if you go that direction I'm not really interested to see Replacement Ed included. (Sorry Replacement Ed!) I'd love something about Jan and Ros, or maybe Jan, Ros and Alex - on my recent rewatch I was really struck by how there's this web of support and mentorship between them, and this real fondness between them (Jan and Ros especially) even when they often disagree. (Also v open to a shippy and/or angsty Jan/Ros vid if that's where the muse takes you.)

The Dark is Rising Sequence - Susan Cooper Children's fantasy with mysterious Celtic vibes (5 x novels)

I would just be thrilled to see any vid you could make that captures some of the feel of the books! I love the epic-yet-intimate/personal scale feel of them, the use of mythology and folklore, the sense of place/landscape/season, and I love all the characters. I'm here for whatever you feel like doing, whether that's concentrating on a specific book, character or plot thread, or something with a wider scope. I will just be wowed by anything you can do for this source!

Raising Dion Sweet family superpowers show (17 x 45 mins)

I really enjoyed the way the world expanded a little in S2! I'd love something about the growing community Nicole and Dion are building, and how valuable and powerful that is. A vid about the Triangle of Justice would be awesome, or so would something about Nicole’s interactions with Suzanne, Janelle, Tevin, etc. But I pretty much love all the choices this show made and I'd be interested to see a vid from most angles! (Not really interested to spend time on Pat's point of view but I don't mind him appearing if the vid calls for it.)

Thunder Force [SAFETY] Superpowers and friendship (1 x 1hr 46 mins)

I adore the central relationship of this film! I'd love a vid that focuses on Lydia and Emily and the strength of their connection, whether it's through the lens of friendship, femslash or something that's a bit of both. I'd also love something about both of their relationships with Tracy and the three of them as a team kicking ass together and being a family. I'm not really interested in Crab Guy.

The Wheel of Time Swooshy epic fantasy (16 x 60 mins)

Aes Sedai! I would love a vid about the Aes Sedai (and their warders)! Maybe something exploring all the different relationships and alliances going on, or looking at the different approaches and types of power the various Aes Sedai we've met (including Egwene, Nynaeve and Elayne) use, or just a full vid of various Aes Sedai kicking ass, or something about the toll the White Tower takes on them all, the sacrifices they make for it. I would go absolutely feral for a Siuan-centric vid. If there's enough footage I'd also love to see a vid about Alanna, or about Verin (and the Brown Ajah) although that's an even taller order. Moving only slightly away from the Tower, I'd love a vid about the relationship/parallels between Moiraine and Anvaere.

Travel shows presented by Susan Calman [UMBRELLA] Gentle pootling around the UK with an enthusiastic Scottish lesbian (IDEK how many episodes - Secret Scotland with Susan Calman, Susan Calman’s Grand Day Out, etc)

I’d love anything that captures the playfulness and sweetness of these shows and Susan’s infectious enthusiasm for new experiences, as well as the beautiful locations she visits! I'm here for the nerdy moments and movie parodies as well as for the recurring motifs like model villages and failing to fold maps. I’m most interested in Secret Scotland, Grand Day Out and Grand Week by the Sea, less interested in the cruising and antiques ones.

I recently found out that the US sitcom I Dream of Jeannie, which was rebroadcast in Japan as Cute Witch Genie (かわいい魔女ジニー) and had a influence on the magical girl genre, was inspired by a 1964 US film called The Brass Bottle. This flick also featured Barbara Eden who would go on to star in Jeannie, but, in this version, she plays a mortal woman. Obviously I had to watch it immediately and the following is my review:

I decided to watch this knowing that it was an inspiration for I Dream of Jeannie, but I did not realize that Barbara Eden was actually in it. That was a very fun surprise, particularly to see her so young after watching the Jeannie made-for-TV sequel films and thus getting to see her across such a range of ages. As a movie, itself, I definitely enjoyed it. It didn't take itself too seriously and I enjoyed the way they played the fantasy elements. I can totally see how it inspired a lighthearted TV comedy like Jeannie. I guess my two criticisms are, simply, the pacing of the plot and the obvious but totally necessary-to-mention orientalism. Speaking of which, there is apparently a Tamil remake of this film. The idea of seeing the '60s orientalized US vision of Middle East-North African tropes filtered through an additional cultural point-of-view certainly interests me.I'm glad for the leap to television, they figured out that the genie ought to be a woman.

Now Watching: Wednesday

It kind of pains me to write this. I love The Addams family, The Munsters, and all those wonderfully creepy people representing the rest of us on the tele. As a kid, I grew up on the 90′s Addams Family movie and sequel, as an adult if I ever need a “pick me up” it is one of my favorite things to rewatch. So you can imagine when this was coming out, I was pumped. 

Let’s start at the beginning- in the 60′s this started off as a sitcom on tv. Black and white, and most likely where we get our idea of what Morticia and Gomez and all the family members “should be like”. I actually get clips from the 60′s show that come up on my Tiktok and man it looks like virtual gold to me. Cute, normal, but otherwise creepy kooky family. 

Who is in the Addams family? Mom and dad are Morticia and Gomez. They are typically a very happy couple. Lurch is almost a family friend or servant? Morticia has her mom living with them, Gomez’s brother Fester sometimes does. There are two kids: Wednesday, the oldest daughter, and Pugsley, the second born son. Depending on what version you follow, there is a third child. You can’t forget about Thing, he’s a handful. 

From the sitcom, to a movie and sequel 30 years later, the story of the Addams family is very timeless. The transition from the 60′s to the 90′s gave the characters a deeper transition into the goth/alternative realm. It is very likely they were in there in the 60′s but in black and white its hard to see, and societally speaking, that would be a hard time to have most of america accept a family that “dark”. 

From the 90′s to 2022, Tim Burton makes an 8 episode season but changes things...a lot. With something so, iconic, it is hard to make major changes. It is more smaller stylistic changes that add up as one watches it. I get it, the appeal but also the challenge to want to do something so iconic. This show is about, not so much the addams family, but the oldest daughter...Wednesday. Hence the name. In a world where feminists want “domination” not equality, the change of direction for the show is not surprising. 

This is a related side rant, but really, if you are ever bored look at TV in different decades of society and see how they reflect the time they are made in. For example, The Sandman. That is based on a comic book that has been around for some time, and in the comic books there is a more normal mix of ethnicities for all the characters. When it gets made into a show in 2022, all the “bad people” are white, most people are black, Constatine is a gay woman. While there is not that much wrong with “creative liberty” in bringing a material to life, ask yourself this-had this been made in any other decade...would it have been made like that? 

Anyways, back to what we are actually watching...or not watching. Wednesday. This show is in some ways about the family but its about the family as they get older. I guess as one gets older they start to define their own lives and spend less time with family. I will not spoil much, but I only watched the first episode. Wednesday gets kicked out of public school and goes to a private school both her parents went to. Wednesday is full of teenage angst. And a modern day feminist. There is also a heavy dose of magic and fantasy added to this show, as everyone is not human or a gifted human. 

Before watching it, I had heard some issues people had with the show. Mom and Dad, while they are in timeline older, are being played by the oldest actors ever to have portrayed them. Catherine Zeta Jones doesn’t do a bad Morticia, but as one gets older, the classic morticia body is hard to pull off. I would of loved to see that look be in the vain of the older look but more appropriate for an older Morticia. Gomez is played by a short older mexican dude with a beer belly. I must say, personally speaking, I prefer gomez taller, because even when he’s taller he’s always shorter than Tish. But Jones towers heavily over Gomez, and appearances aside-their chemistry is attempting to be good but not? 

When it came to actually watching it-The first episode actually did a fair amount of work fairly well. I always feel bad for how much work the first episode of any show has to do. It has to introduce, snare the viewer, and set up the plot. I could see, and mostly agree, about Gomez and Tish. The “modern” changes they made to Wednesday, don’t feel like her to me. The story, while possibly interesting, heavily detracts from the value the show has from the iconic family as there is not much family in it. Wednesday on her own is too dry and almost grinding of a character. Also, maybe its been too long since I have been a teenage female with angst-but I think Tish would of been a better mom than my mom was to me, and I did not hate my mom that much then. (It happened eventually but that was more in adulthood for me). 

This seems like a long winded way to say, if I had to say it in a simpler fashion, that I hate this. I don’t want to. But I don’t plan to finish the season or watch any more. I thought it was interesting too that they did not get permission to use the Addams Family theme song. At first I was like wow, but after I am glad they did not. I believe the show has had record numbers of viewers, so maybe it is a case of I am not the target audience for this “modern” version of a cult classic. What do you guys think of the show?

Did I really listen to 776 different podcast this last year, Pocketcasts?? Yes. Though I definitely didn't finish them all, I tend to build a queue and listen in somewhat chronological pattern. One of the standouts was definitely this guy. Let's talk about Wizard Seeking Wizard by the writer of @truetalesteam , @maxkreisky . Wizard Seeking Wizard is a fantasy, comedy, fiction podcast in which Chemistro, the match mage, and his trusty pet Phoenix, Cupid broadcast an olde timey dating show from the crystal sphere where they are trapped. Various wizards send in their audio "dating" profiles, looking for everything from standard romantic partnerships to the desire to find a solid arch-nemesis, Chemistro and his faithful sidekick match wizard profiles, and do post "date" interviews. Also, what's the deal with this crystal sphere? How/why is Chemistro in there? Well give it a listen to know! That's 9, 30-60 minute episodes for a delightful time...and! I've heard season 2 is in the works! So if you like humorous fantasy, magic users, and ye olde late 20th century dating shows, then Wizard Seeking Wizard is for you! #fictionpodcasts #podcastsunday #audiodramasunday #trypod #podcasts #podcast #podcastrecommendation #podcastrecommendations #recommended #magic #fantasy #fantasypodcast #comedy #sitcom #wizardseekingwizard #wizard #wiz4wiz #swordandsorcery #humor #audiodrama #maxkreisky #wizards #dating #datinggame #advice #matchmaker #matchmakers https://www.instagram.com/p/ClxoaKVOO9-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

[haveumetbi]

Hello!

I've been using tumblr for a long time, but only recently I've felt confident enough in my english to actually try to join communities and make friends. 

A little introduction... That is actually kinda really long and I’m not gonna subject y’all to it unless you want to, so here’s the tldr:

I’m an acearo, bi, cis girl (🇺🇸 she/her — 🇧🇷 ela/a).

White latina from Brazil.

I’m disabled and neurodivergent

I love sitcoms, comedy is my fav genre of fiction

and cats

and The Sims

and Turma da Mônica

and hairstyling, braids, make up

and Jane Austen

and Taylor Swift

If you like any of it, follow me!! I’ll definetely follow back. If your curious, read bellow.

I’m a 23 year old college student who is majoring in History. I’m kind of a huge nerd, I love subjects like History (duh), Literature, Politics, Philosophy, Psychology, Religion, but also Comedy (i find fascinating to analyze it, even if that kinda defeats the purpose, sue me). I kinda only watch sitcoms, actually, maybe because of how obsessed I am with the genre (more on that later). 

Being Brazilian I may reblog/talk about Brazillian issues/stuff and most definetely will reblog things about Turma da Mônica (brazil’s most beloved comic book series that shaped the childhood’s of at least 3 generations now since the 60s/70s), my longest autistic special interest. Oh, yeah, I’m also neurodivergent, AuDHD and also have persistent depressive disorder (dysthymia gang rise up! or dont, ik its hard and tiresome) and fibromyalgia.

Another special interest I’m unhinged about is The Sims, I use Tumblr mostly bc of it, so I’ll definitely reblog stuff about it, maybe if everythings works out I will even create a side simblr, who knows. I love historic/fantasy gameplay, would be cool to share with people.

Idk if its a SI or just regular cat owner thing, but I’m definitely obsessed with these little guys. Speaking of cat lover, I love Taylor Swift. Like, I’m very casual about most music I consume, but she is the exception, I just... feel SO MUCH with her songs. Idk, idk... She also makes me feel things on a sapphic way, though I’m no g*ylor or hetl*r (rlly dont care about who she dates, just here for the art). But not in a wow I wanna bang this celebrity I have a crush on, cuz I dont wanna bang no one, cuz I’m acearo. Just, dont swing that way (or any way, really /hj cuz i'm actually gray-bi-romantic but its very rare, so i'm usually not swinging at all lmao).

I really like to read, but it has been tough to keep the habit with depression and disabled adult life knocking at my door and kicking my ass... currently I’m finishing reading all Jane Austen’s work (i love her sense of humor and analyses of human psychology) in portuguese, but I plan to eventually read the original stuff in english. I just really love stories and storytelling as an art form, maybe that’s why I love to write. I’m obsessed with fanfictions, actually, been writing since I was 11, never anything in english, but who knows, actually creating and participating in tumblr may be the first step. I mostly write about tv shows I’m obsessed about (though I did write some Turma da Mônica Jovem fanfiction...... thank god I deleted, it was terrible, tho in my defense I was still a preteen) and I mostly watch sitcoms so.... About that...

My favorite sitcom ever is probably How I Met Your Mother (it was literally what i needed when i was going through a really rough patch) and BoJack Horseman (yes, cartoon sitcoms totally count, shut up). I’d say my first sitcom love was The Simpsons, my biodad had a lot of dvds and tapes from the golden seasons and the fondest memories of my childhood were us watching together and laughing like two idiots. My first fandom was iCarly (i was a preteen okay), but I wasnt a big fan of the revival/reboot (yes I was team seddie, no it has nothing to do with it, I gave it a shot, but just didnt vibe with it). I also love The Office, That 70′s Show, Never Have I Ever, Community, Our Flag Means Death, The Sex Lifes of College Girls, One Day at a Time and The Good Place.

I’m pretty sure the only other shows that I got obsessed with that weren’t sitcoms were Once Upon a Time and Lucifer, two shows that were quite humorous with its wacky premises (fairytales in real life???? the devil taking a vacation in LA??? i mean, c’mon!!). I’m loving the Percy Jackson disney adaptation, it was my favorite YA book series and it always bummed me that the movie adaptation was so terrible, I'm glad we finally have a great adaptation and can't wait for more seasons to come!!!

I’m very talkative (you dont say?? 😮 /s) and a total extroverted that really loves to make friends, but my communication difficulties really do shine on long distance conversation... be phone calls, video calls, emails, text messages etc... So, although I’d love if you shoot me a message, bc I love to make friends, I also am not the best texter, so dont expect someone who always immediately answers you right back cuz they are online — please dont take it personal, it has nothing to do with who is messaging me and everything to do with my disability mkay? And yes, I am trying to work this shit out in therapy, but you know... growth aint linear. When shit hits the fan, the first thing that I lose is the ability to answer text messages 😭 idk i just stare at them, they stare at me, i combust and die, the end. 

Dont know how to end this text, so, I’ll just show a pic of my cat, cuz shes everything. Bye!!

While not much of itand was more in the likes of Universal,MGM,Warner Bros.,and Disney/20th Century Studios, I still consider it a true Hollywood powerhouse and one of the leading film studios in Hollywood to this day. In honor of the elite Hollywood studio that had their famous iconic lady(Lady Columbia)light up the way with her torch to give us some of the greatest,award-winning, and iconic Hollywood movies(It Happened One Night,Mr.Deeds Goes To Town,Mr.Smith Goes To Washington,Gilda,From Here To Eternity,Dr. Strangelove,Oliver,Funny Girl,Taxi Driver,Close Enounters of The Third Kind,Heavy Metal,Annie,The Big Chill,Starman,Stand By Me,When Harry Met Sally,Boyz in the Hood,City Slickers,A League of Their Own,The Shawshank Redemption,Desperado,Little Women,Groundhog Day,Anaconda,Sense and Sensibility,Stuart Little,XXX,Big Fish,The Legend of Zorro,Superbad,The Social Network,Zombieland,Goosebumps,and Once Upon A Time….In Hollywood),made some of the biggest money-making movie franchises(Ghostbusters,Men in Black,Jumanji,The Karate Kid,Spider-Man,Sony’s Spider-Man Universe,and Bad Boys),produced many TV shows/sitcoms(Dennis the Menace,Bewitched,I Dream of Jeannie,Gidget,The Monkees,Fantasy Island,Charlie’s Angels,Seinfeld,The Critic,and Just Shoot Me!),distributed many computer animated films under the Sony Pictures Animation name(such as Open Season,Surf’s Up,Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs,Hotel Transylvania,Arthur Christmas,The Pirates: Band of Misfits,The Smurfs:The Lost Village,Spider-Man:Into The Spider-Verse and Across The Spider-Verse,The Mitchells Vs.

Here is a centennial tribute drawing pic I did for Columbia Pictures’ 100th anniversary featuring my own take on the studio’s iconic famous torch lady with my own rabbit girl OC,Ginger Bunny now dressed as the lady now holding the shining torch and standing on a pedestal. 

So, Happy 100th Anniversary to Columbia Pictures,  the studio that always had it’s famous lady standing on a pedestal that light up the screens with her torch to shine the way to start every movie and that have gave and brought us many films,shows,shorts,cartoons,and franchises over the last 100 years like Men in Black,the Spider-Man,Ghostbusters,Bad Boys,The Karate Kid,Jumanji,The Three Stooges,Hotel Transylvania,Charlie’s Angels,Bewitched,Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs,Senfield,and many more.

NBC Via TMZ, Friends star Matthew Perry passed on after drowning at their house in la. He had been 54 years of age. Perry came to be on August 19, 1969 in Williamstown, Massachusetts, along with his road to stardom performedn’t happen overnight. A number of Perry’s initially acting functions had been in ’80s sitcoms Charles in control and Silver Spoons, before he arrived a respected part in Fox’s Second potential. As initially envisioned, Second potential showcased Kiel Martin as Charles Russell, a guy which passed away when you look at the after that far-off 12 months of 2011 who was simply delivered back by paradise to 1987 so he could provide moral guidance to their more youthful self, Chazz, as played by Perry. But the sitcom ended up being rapidly revamped as Boys will likely to be males, with Perry when you look at the lead when it comes to rest of the one-season run. Some of Perry’s very early television work in addition included visitor appearances in Growing discomforts, Highway to Heaven, Empty Nest, Who’s the employer? and Beverly Hills, 90210. Regarding the giant screen, Perry co-headlined The entire Nine Yards and its particular sequel reverse Bruce Willis, plus the films Fools race In, Almost Heroes, Three to Tango, and Serving Sara. Throughout the second section of their profession, Perry starred in temporary television show like Studio 60 in the Sunset Strip, Mr. Sunshine, Go On, and a 2015 revival of The Odd Couple that went for three periods. In 1994, at only 24-years old, Perry arrived the part that made him popular: Chandler Bing on Friends. Along with Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, and David Schwimmer, Perry remained aided by the comedy for ten periods whilst became probably the most preferred sitcoms for the ’90s. That’s the reason why we’re using this chance to spend tribute to 3 of Perry’s most useful symptoms of Friends. They are the moments that aided cement their history as a performer. The One Using The Blackout (season 1, event 7) NBC In just the 7th bout of the program, Perry had a breakout overall performance in The One Using The Blackout whenever Chandler ended up being caught in an ATM location together with fantasy girl, supermodel Jill Goodacre. The event permitted Perry to generally share Chandler’s ideas in a hilarious voiceover while he bungled their means through the complete night. Perry’s talent for actual comedy has also been on show when you look at the event through their facial expressions and the body language. He had been awkwardness personified, which endeared to followers when it comes to period of the show’s operate. The One following the Super Bowl: component 2 (period 2, event 13) NBC By its 2nd period, Friends had been the greatest program on tv, which is the reason why Brooke Shields, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Chris Isaak, and rom-com queen Julia Roberts all guest-starred when you look at the huge two-part event that broadcast straight following the Super Bowl.

We can’t state that Chandler performedn’t get exactly what he deserved, nonetheless it really was funny to see him get their comeuppance. The One in which every person discovers (season 5, event 14) NBC As you might have seen, the motif that all these symptoms share in accordance would be that they feature Chandler’s uncomfortable activities with females. The One in which everyone Finds Out isn't any exclusion. At this stage when you look at the show’s operate, Chandler and Monica (Cox) had been privately internet dating, since they performedn’t desire people they

Consequently, Phoebe and Rachel you will need to deceive the few into outing by themselves by allowing Chandler think that Phoebe desires an enchanting commitment with him. They go on it quite far and in actual fact kiss before Chandler eventually has got to confess he really loves Monica. it is both a fantastic personality minute, and a rather funny scene. Which was Friends at its most useful. You can observe every bout of Friends on Max.

Top Trends in Costumes in 2023

Fashion trends in costumes can change rapidly, influenced by popular culture, current events, and emerging fashion designers. While I don't have access to real-time information beyond my last update in September 2021, I can suggest some general costume trends that may be popular in 2023 based on previous patterns and influences:

Nostalgia-Inspired Costumes: Nostalgia tends to drive costume trends, so expect to see costumes inspired by iconic characters and styles from the '80s, '90s, and early 2000s. Think retro video game characters, '90s sitcom stars, or classic movie villains.

Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Costumes: As sustainability becomes more important, eco-friendly costumes made from recycled materials or featuring nature-themed designs may gain popularity.

Pop Culture Phenomena: Costumes related to the latest blockbuster movies, TV shows, or music stars will continue to be in demand. Upcoming superhero films, fantasy series, and popular musicians will likely inspire many costume choices.

DIY and Handmade Costumes: The DIY and handmade costume trend has been growing in recent years, as people enjoy crafting unique and personalized outfits. Look for costumes that involve creative sewing, painting, and crafting.

Gender-Neutral Costumes: Gender-neutral and gender-inclusive costumes have been gaining traction, allowing people of all genders to express themselves without conforming to traditional roles.

Virtual and Internet-Inspired Costumes: Internet memes, viral videos, and virtual influencers could provide inspiration for unique and humorous costumes that reflect online culture.

Cultural Celebrations: Expect costumes that celebrate different cultures and traditions to remain popular. However, be mindful of cultural appropriation and ensure that costumes are respectful and informed.

Sci-Fi and Futuristic Themes: With advancements in technology and the popularity of sci-fi and futuristic shows and movies, expect to see costumes featuring high-tech elements, space exploration, and cyberpunk aesthetics.

Retro Fashion: Beyond nostalgia for specific eras, retro fashion from various decades may continue to be popular. Look for disco-inspired outfits, '60s mod looks, or '70s bohemian styles.

Bewitched (2005)

While I didn't enjoy this film, that doesn't mean you won't. No matter what I say, the people involved in this project did it: they actually made a movie. That's something to be applauded. With that established...

During the Mid ‘00s, there was a brief trend of taking popular television series from the ‘60s and onwards and re-imagining/comedically interpreting them as films. Bewitched must be one of the worst examples. It’s unfunny, wastes the talents of its stars and squanders its potential.

After a series of box-office flops, Jack Wyatt (Will Ferrell) agrees to play the role of Darrin in a remake of the 1960s sitcom Bewitched. He insists on being the show's star, which means the producers must cast a nobody in the role of his witch wife, Samantha. Isabel Bigelow (Nicole Kidman), an actual witch, sees the role as an opportunity to step away from the world of sorcery she’s grown tired of but soon becomes displeased with her narcissistic co-star.

When in a leading role, Will Ferrell and his comedic style tends to be polarizing. Either audiences think he's a riot, or they can't stand him. In this case, neither camp will have any fun. It isn’t that he’s everdoing his schtick. Actually, the only laughs you get come when director Nora Ephron allows him to let loose. Even then, she lets him go on for too long half the time but he actually succeeds in generating chuckles, unlike the script Nora co-wrote with her sister, Delia Ephron. Steve Carell has a brief role and he’s annoying. Michael Caine as Isabel’s father is slightly amusing but nothing he does goes anywhere and the smiles you get when he's on-screen come from the actor’s charisma, not his lines. Isabel’s newfound friends (Kristin Chenoweth and Heather Burns) are useless, Jack’s sycophant producer Ritchie (Jason Schwarztman) is irritating. You don’t even get a funny talking puppet cat. If the movie had been funny, the gag where Isabel literally rewinds time would’ve been amusing. It isn’t, so all you can do is think about how stupid she must be for forgetting about this spell every other time.

I saved my complaints about the magic for now, because it’s what ultimately sinks the ship. Overall, the fact that Isabel can cast spells means NOTHING. While on TV, the production crew use special effects to make her “mother” Endora (Shirley MacLain) appear. Jack’s lack of charisma makes everyone hate him and love Isabel. She didn’t really have to audition for the role - she just gets the part because she can wiggle her nose. She doesn’t even want to use magic so she doesn’t except in a few scenes you could edit out or turn into fantasy/dream sequences. You could’ve made this movie as just two people on the set of a TV series but that would've forced Bewitched to ditch many of its favourite “gag”. See, Isabel was raised by witches and warlocks, so she has no idea what the Muggle world is like. In fact, she barely understands English. She’s so dumb she depends on her spellcasting to get through the day when she isn’t trapped in a standard, boring rom-com.

Bewitched throws enough darts toward its target to score a couple of hits. For viewers, they come at a steep price. On top of the poorly written and conceived story, the lousy direction, and the non-sensical or confusing aspects (I still can’t figure out if Carole Shelley’s character is Isabel’s real aunt coincidentally called Clara or a character from the show somehow brought to life), this is a romantic comedy that’s never the least bit romantic. Will Ferrell and Nicole Kidman have charm as individuals but there are no sparks between them. Bewitched deserves to be burned at the stake. (October 26, 2020)
