The Romance Con link at Pajiba was an interesting discussion of fanfic and supporting the Harry Potter franchise in light of JKR’s hateful actions. I’m no longer a HP fan and could happily never hear about it again… but I have been a reader of her Robert Galbraith series featuring Cormoran Strike which never seems to come up in these discussions. She admittedly makes less from the Strike books than the HP franchise but its still a very successful character with television adaptations. I’m more sad to give up on Strike’s story than I am the entire HP universe which I enjoyed myself and then again with my kids but really can’t live with supporting her in any way.
I would also like to know if the Summer I Turned Pretty is worth watching. Prime keeps pushing it on me.
Cavill is a weird case. He’s not a bad actor. He’s good looking, yet two very big projects ended bad for him, tho the Superman thing was on Gunn, and he’s not getting any big role offers anymore. I’m starting to think the rumours about him not being a good co-worker are true.
He might not be a bad actor, but he’s not a good one either.
I’ve never heard anything but good things from his coworkers. He had difficulty on Witcher but that was because they didn’t follow through on their promise to stay close to the books.
Yes 🌷🌷🌷
I wonder if he just… doesn’t care that much about acting? Like you said, he’s not a bad actor, and he’s (IMO anyway) really good-looking. But I’ve seen a lot of stories indicating that he’s a huge geek, and I say that with admiration. I could see someone like that thinking “eh, I have enough money, I don’t need to bust my ass trying to get more roles.” Especially now that he’s a dad. Source: Am married to a wonderful nerd who would have a similar reaction.
Didn’t he talk sh*t about #metoo? He was dating a teenager at some point too. From some of the blinds out there, he was very disrespectful to the female showrunner, overruling her decisions, changing the written scenes and they still accommodated him for a few seasons until it started affecting the production. If he was a woman, he wouldn’t even last that long in the entertainment industry. Also, once you get that kind of reputation, it is hard for other producers to take a risk on you.
The Superman casting fiasco was not on James Gunn at all. It actually had more to do with Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson. Trying to get his production company Seven Bucks to take over DCU with the help of then Henry’s manager Dany Garcia (Henry has since fired).
Dwayne wanted a Black Adam vs. Superman movie. But that all failed when Black Adam flopped at the box office. They got pushed out. Then James Gunn and Peter Safran were put in place to run DC.
James was never going to cast Henry again. He always had plans to reboot the DCU with new actors.
It’s when James and Peter closed the deal on taking over DC that Henry announced he was putting the cape on again. It was a clusterflucker. That announcement was not authorized by them. That Henry had to backtrack the announcement two weeks later. That the role was going in a different direction. Which it 100% did. Henry’s years as the darker serious Superman were great for it’s time.
But the new Superman is more in line with the comics. I don’t think Henry would have done as well as David Corenswet.
But that’s Hollywood.

That makes me happy. I wish these three people the best of luck. Henry Caville spoke of depression some time ago and I hope he’s doing well. I liked “The Witcher” and thought it was a shame that he gave up.
summer i turned pretty – has a shitty premise which especially shows up or worsens by season 2. the whole story feels weird.
(spoilers ahead)
the boys’ d3ad mother kinda groomed the teenage girl from childhodd to be with her boys only. she keeps on reinforcing this even on her way to the grav3. then the teenage girl is buried not only under the expectations of that d3ad woman but also everyone around her kinda props up the same ideas – ugh the conditioning and emotions she’s exposed to. to the point she cant think of another guy to date beyond those two toxic boys who themselves have trauma, “competing” with each other to be with their childhood “bro” bestie who grew b00bs one summer. god forbid a girl grows up without losing her male best friends. top all that with soapy trauma and the usual teenage stuff
Thanks for the overview but just needed to comment because I would truly love the tiktokification of censoring certain works across the entire Internet to die.
You can say, dead, grave and boobs.

Woof! He’s always had bad taste. FKA Twigs did a song with Nori😒so can people stop talking about herm, and Seth’s A Closer Looks should be required viewing. They’re both infuriating and hilarious.
I’ve been watching TSITP with my sister and niece(my sister’s daughter), all together. I read the books too because of my niece . It’s more YA, but it’s something fun – takes you away from political realities a bit. Teens to grandmothers are watching this show 😊. The 3rd book to me is the most interesting out of the trilogy. Reminds me of the Twilight days and that which team you’re in.
