#Fired by Bravo

[realhousewives-fan]

Diana Jenkins is Fired from RHOBH!

Oh, happy day! Diana Jenkins is finally fired from RHOBH! My only complaint is what in the hell took them so long?!

I don’t understand what took Bravo that long to fire Dirty Diana, honestly.

The new thing with Bravo is that they don’t want to fire new housewives after only one season.

But Diana was an astronomical bad casting choice and should never have been “launched” as a housewife in the first place.

Maybe they don’t want to admit mistakes?

In other franchises there’s friends after friends getting tested without proving themselves worthy enough to become a housewife.

In Beverly Hills they seem to let anybody in, as long as you’ve got enough money and celebrity friends. 

Well, Elton John and Neil Patrick Harris couldn’t save this mess.

Was it her lack of personality that annoyed me? 

Whatever it is she’s lacking, she had the lifestyle to be on RHOBH and I guess money talks more than other values.

It has been a long time since I’ve had such a negative reaction to a newbie.

She rubbed me the wrong way from the moment she entered the scene, in the middle of Lisa Rinna and Sutton Stracke’s feud about the Elton John tickets.

When she called the argument “classless” I knew right away that I was not going to like this woman.

When she arrived at Garcelle Beauvais’ birthday party with a shady gift and a nasty attitude, it was officially over. I was done with this bitch.

Sadly, I had to tolerate her appearance the rest of the season, when she called Sutton a cunt while laughing as if it was the greatest joke ever.

What I saw was a bully and a mean girl.

She wanted the women to be mesmerized by her wealth and going along with her stories. 

She seemed genuinely uninterested in getting to know the other women.

I cannot speak for the entire fandom of RHOBH, but for me, and I’m so excited to have her gone. It feels like it got easier to breathe.

Goodbye, Dirty Diana. You will not be missed!

A whopping, like, 2.6 people have expressed interest in my recent adventures in watching Bean films, which is all the encouragement I need to present to you:

An Incomplete Guide to Sean Bean Roles (Investigation Ongoing)

Our guy has a vast filmography, and I'm not even close to being halfway through it, but I've watched a lot of his significant ones in the past few weeks thanks to a perfect storm of illness, injury, and lapses in client work. Crucially, I have created superlatives for a variety of them and present them here for your benefit. Disclaimer: many of these films are violent! Or have butts and/or tits! Some have dick! Some have dated bits that didn't age well! So, if you have triggers or are watching with young viewers, do your research first! Also, these are just the opinions of one solitary millennial! Nothing is objective! Nothing is real! I care not!

Okay, CYA done, let's begin. I'll get the two most obvious ones out of the way up front, otherwise they'll dominate half the categories:

ACT I

Greatest Bean: Fellowship of the Ring. I've said it before and I'll say it again, he achieved more pathos with Boromir than a lot of his other roles have allowed for, and every note he hits just sings. No debate.

Best Bean for Your Buck: Sharpe. For the best confluence of quantity, quality, physicality, emotion, humor, and action, you can't beat Richard Sharpe.

Favorite Dramatic Bean: Time; he earned that BAFTA fr

Softest Bean: The first date scene in Stormy Monday, where Brendan shyly gets to know Kate, slow dances with her, lends her a shirt and strokes her back after she asks if they can just go to sleep instead of have sex.

Most Dashing Bean: Vronsky in Anna Karenina, that uniform cuts, damn

Swooniest Bean: I know I'm supposed to say Chatterley, and he is undeniably sexy as Mellors, but there are parts where his character is actually kind of off-putting. I'll lay a good chunk of the blame on the weirdly ominous score, the very of-the-time depiction of dubious consent, and Joely Richardson's tendency to look like she's having the worst time of her life while shagging the hot gamekeeper. No, I'm giving this category to Stormy Monday again. He's just so gentle and genuine in this one, without some of the obligatory "heartthrob" overtones of his nineties stuff. He never raises his voice at Kate or manhandles her. He really does feel like some kid who just wants to be sweet to his girlfriend.

Laddiest Bean: When Saturday Comes, specifically the strip club and bathtub scenes.

Favorite Sad Bean: As a collective, he has some great grief scenes in World on Fire, but! The railroad track scene in When Saturday Comes?! That was RAW.

Favorite Mad Bean: Black Death; there are plenty of movies where he doesn't smile at all, but unlike some others, his grimness and anger felt proportionate to the story, rather than just rage because he's good at rage.

Favorite Bad Bean: There are so many great Bean villains (Goldeneye, obvs), but I think my favorite is Patriot Games. Bonus points for all the different hairstyles he has in this film (long locks-shag-shag ponytail!-buzz-wet spiky buzz). Also HUGH FRASER AAAA

Favorite Dad Bean: Wolfwalkers, where Bill Goodfellowe literally turns his own convictions and beliefs upside-down in order to protect and support his daughter.

INTERMISSION

A note on GoT: I haven't watched it. When season one was first coming out, it was during a time where I really couldn't handle watching any kind of sexual assault onscreen, and while I have a higher tolerance now, I just... don't want to. I like seeing gifs of Ned Stark and appreciate that it's one of his great roles, but I just can't make myself take the plunge.

ilysm you grizzled dead wolf man

ACT II

Favorite Costumed Bean: Odysseus in Troy: curls, leather, thighs.

Favorite Un-Costumed Bean: He strips in quite a lot of his films, so let's give it to Lady Chatterley for sheer screentime, exertion, and the bonus of being naked and wearing a flower crown. Honorable mention to When Saturday Comes for the totally not homoerotic amount of butts and also dick in the locker room bathtub scene.

Hurtin'est Bean: Bravo Two Zero. Oof, don't watch this one if you have an aversion to seeing pain, although---you're a Sean Bean fan, and we all know one of his MOs is being GREAT at pain. This one was directed by Tom Clegg, who directed Sharpe. Also lol at the sickle-shaped wound on his shoulder, which is covering his 100% Blade tattoo (he gets a lot of sickle-shaped wounds on his left shoulder).

Best Inside References: The Frankenstein Chronicles, where he plays a former Peninsular soldier, and every reference to his service is a reference to Sharpe, including shots of his greenjacket, pistol, sword, and flogging scars. Honorable mention to The Martian for the Council of Elrond line.

Most Unsettling Bean: Cleanskin for moral grayness, The Frankenstein Chronicles for body horror

Most Inefficient Use of Bean: Black Beauty. Despite getting high billing he's only onscreen for about two minutes and I'm convinced the long shots are a body double. Criminal.

Biggest Missed Opportunity: We were robbed of a Sean Bean Odyssey. R o b b e d

Funniest Bean: Deploying Bean for comedy is woefully underused, but he made full use of his ~15 seconds in The Vicar of Dibley ("Spring" episode). He's also hilarious in Wasted, though I haven't watched the show, only the clips he's in on YouTube, where he plays a mock version of himself serving as a spirit guide for a stoner. IMO, though, Sharpe gives him the most room for humor.

Favorite Character Quirk: In World on Fire, when Douglas is having WWI flashbacks and really coming apart, he kept putting his hand to his mouth. My modern brain first read this as talking into a phantom radio, but of course that wasn't right, and then I realized--he was reaching for a phantom gas mask. CHILLS. AMAZING. (Honorable mentions to the Mouth Rub and the Tongue Thing [pictured above]).

Most Nostalgic Bean: National Treasure. The concept may be utter silliness, but you have to admit, this is a fun movie to watch.

Best Dismount from a Horse: Henry VIII, he goes pshwing out of the saddle

Best Swordplay: You may think there's no possible answer to this, but there is---two moments, specifically: the preparatory sword-spin he does at Balin's tomb just before the goblin attack in Moria, and the four lunges he does at 1:26:22 of Sharpe's Battle. It's just facts.

Prettiest Bean Film: Wolfwalkers, hands downnnn

Favorite Bean Death: All right, you knew we had to eventually end here. It's Boromir, obviously--- nothing tops that. But if we're looking at other roles, I think Patriot Games is my favorite, followed by Goldeneye.

So! That concludes this installment of Bean films, though I'll be continuing the labor, and I hope you will, too. What are your favorites?

Really thinking about Planes characters as WoF dragons, so I'm just going to dump the information I have here

Skipper:

SeaWing

He had a MudWing-like relationship with the SeaWings he trained. He was like their bigwings

He lost parts of his wings to the point where he couldn't fly. Although he quickly got prosthetics made, he never used them until he saved Dusty from Ripslinger

He's like Dusty's dad

Dusty:

MudWing. Tiny MudWing

Either he just hatched alone or his siblings left. He doesn't know, but he's grown up mostly on his own (I'm too lazy to make ocs for this au /hj)

Despite being a full-grown MudWing, he's small enough to comfortably sit on Skipper's back

He has made Skipper so much happier

He keeps a pouch around his neck with a bunch of random things inside

Chug:

MudWing

Dottie:

RainWing

Healer

Sparky:

SeaWing

Healer

Ripslinger:

LeafWing/SkyWing hybrid

Ned & Zed:

LeafWings

Bravo & Echo:

SeaWings

They have a MudWing-like relationship with the other jws. Flysenhower is like their bigwings

And, because I suddenly got motivation for them, a few Cabbie and smokejumpers headcanons

Cabbie:

MudWing bigwings. His scales were once a brighter shade of orange/red, but have dulled out to a gray as he aged. He still has a few bright red markings, though

Lost his siblings

Has adopted/become a second bigwings to the smokejumpers

Big MudWing. He can easily carry a smokejumper or two

He usually ends up becoming a pillow for the smokejumpers

Smokejumpers:

MudWing siblings

Dynamite is their bigwings, but Cabbie became a second bigwings

They pile up next to Cabbie when they sleep

Reddit is pissing me off.

There are so many people on Reddit complaining about Fire Country.

And I think the majority of those people are bitching because Max is in it.

Because Bode Donovan/Leone is not Clay Spencer.

And Max Thieriot is neither of those people either.

Yeah, I gotta agree that some of the cast is a little lackluster in their acting and yeah, I think it’s a fire/rescue/first responder drama. Yeah, it seems like maybe production is lower budget (maybe?) but I do think it has a lot of potential. I try not to ever judge a series by it’s freshman season. 

Just remember. Clay Spencer is not equal to Bode Leone is not equal to Max Thieriot. Max thought he could do both. So he tried. Yeah, I’m 10000000% not over Clay Spencer because I feel like they ended his story in the absolute worst way possible. 

But quit being pissed that Bode is not Clay and give it a fair shot.

[hacked-wtsdz]

Have been wanting to point out what of a good job hotd is FINALLY doing with the costumes and character design in general. Like, yeah, the wigs suck ass sometimes, but the rest is really much closer to what Martin imagined than what got did. It’s similar to the first few seasons, but better. The embroidery. The colourfulness! Storytelling through colours! The way Alicent wore black and red until she wore that green dress and next we see her mostly in green. Extravagant armour! Daemon’s dragon helmet that looks more intimidating than ridiculous (I think that the got creators were afraid of it being that way). Straight medieval-style dresses. So many cool fabrics. Slavic influence in the Valyrian references!!! Schemes. Details. Genuinely amazing, loyal to Martin’s descriptions costume design.

A Game of Thrones, Jon II

“It’s so skinny.”

“So are you,” Jon told her.

“I had Mikken make this special. The bravos use swords like this in Pentos and Myr and the other Free Cities. It won’t hack a man’s head off, but it can poke him full of holes if you’re fast enough.”

“I can be fast,” Arya said.

Lisa Rinna is Done with RHOBH!

I never thought we would actually see the day where Bravo fired Lisa Rinna. 

While I agree that she has been problematic, I can’t deny what a great housewife she has been.

Many took to social media to celebrate her run as a housewife, others to celebrate her departure:

Lisa Vanderpump is famously known for holding a grudge, and she couldn’t resist to post this shady tweet:

Brandi Glanville had a funny tweet referring both Rinna’s firing and Vanderpump’s tweet, saying:

This was highly entertaining to me. I dream of season where these two returns to RHOBH, but I know that I’m asking for too much.

It’s difficult to imagine what RHOBH will be like without Rinna though.

One thing I’m highly grateful for however, is that we’re breaking up Thelma and Louise. There will be no more preproduced scenes with Rinna and Erika Girardi.

Season 11 was toxic with a divided cast, and as the Fox Force Four has a totalitarian attitude, there was no way this group would work.

I know that the show needs villains. But we don’t need four. Bravo had no other choice but to let someone from the FF4 go at this point.

It was never going to be Kyle Richards, since she’s the last OG and the producer’s good little pet who stir up drama.

Erika was also out of the question with her legal scandal and her fall from grace story.

No, it was either going to be Rinna or Dorit Kemsley. 

And with all the controversy with Rinna this last year, Bravo would be able to solve two problems in one sweep:

The problem with the FF4 and Rinna’s activity on social media.

Many would claim that Rinna forced Bravo’s hand with her destiny, like this fan account claimed on Twitter:

I think it’s important that we have housewives who creates conflict on the show, but it’s also important for them to be likable.

And Rinna has been anything but likable lately.

But firing Rinna is a big change, and it’s difficult to imagine what RHOBH would be like without her.

Frankenstein's Monster

A monster clearly inspired by the Frankenstein's novel.

An iconic product of mad science , this creature has lumbered through scores of films and TV series, monstrous yet also pitiful.

In the early films, the monster is evil because a criminal or damaged brain was used. Modern media often revert to the original idea, depicting the monster as an innocent trapped in a monstrous body, unaware of the damage he can do, rejected by a cruel world. When he starts out as an evil henchmen, he often reform himself.

Examples:

Frankenstein (1931): The monster's first appereace in media. The monster goes on to appear in a series of franchise sequels, including three films of its own and four featuring other Universal monster properties. Four different actors would portray the monster for Universal.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Adam is a human/demon patchwork man... and he's also a Cyborg, since he had machine and computer parts.

Gargoyles: Demona and Xanatos use a set-up much like the classic mad scientist laboratory where they use both magic and technology to create the cyborg Coldstone out of the parts of three Gargoyles. When it moves, Xanatos screams: "It's alive, ALIVE!" then calmly turns to Demona and says: "I always wanted to say that".

Johnny Bravo: The titular character fell for a Bride of Frankenstein-esque female in the episode "Frankenbravo". By the end of the episode, he's a Frankenstein monster too.

Game of Thrones: The Mountain has been compared to this as after almost dying in the duel against the Viper, he is taken by Qyburn (a rogue maester suspected of performing necromancy and black arts) and is experimented upon. Qyburn turns him in some sort of zombie-like, red-eyed, giant, hulking, speechless monster with greenish skin that lumbers about killing people on Cersei's orders.

I had a really weird dream last night.

I was playing a game and it looked like a Disgaea game because I was having Adell (the mc of Disgaea 2) destroy some stuff.

All of the sudden, though, a bunch of Fire Emblem-style enemies invaded the area! Luckily, Adell got some help from other FE-style characters.

The weirdest part, though? Johnny Bravo was also part of my army and was a mage who could use thunder spells. He was dressed as he usually was in the cartoon, but was slinging lightning at the enemy. He even got a critical hit on an enemy knight!

…I must have ate something weird…
