Neve Campbell. That's the big one that always, always comes to mind. She was set to be huge after Party of Five, the Scream franchise and The Craft - then the 2000s arrived and she departed.
If I think of more, I'll add them later.
Guess I'm the only one who doesn't love where they live?
I live in a small town with a reputation, I guess one would call it, for not being the best of places. That's putting it mildly. It's not a great place to raise kids or slap on a real estate advertisement. But it's cheap to rent here and there's something oddly comforting about being in a place you're used to, over being somewhere that's only potentially better but unfamiliar.
I would move if I was in the financial position to, but I'm not mad about where I am either.
Not a fan. I understand that it's an addiction, and a damn hard one to kick. But it's pretty unpleasant to experience it as a non-smoker because I'm making the choice to not smoke and still forced to endure the inhalation of a poisonous substance against my will. That sounds dramatic but it's still true.
Anywhere a person smokes is a bad place to smoke because smoke is potentially physically damaging. So as a non-smoker, I don't want someone to smoke inside my house, in my backyard, near my clothes, near my skin, near where I live, near where I breathe, etc. I don't think most smokers really get how gross it is.
But I don't think there's anyway to 'stop' smoking so long as people are still making the choice to start. And so long as some teenager or kid somewhere sees someone older smoking and thinks it's cool or worthy of replication, making cigarettes more expensive is just outright theft and banning them is simply cruel. Prohibition also is highly unsuccessful usually.
So no solution from me. Maybe if someone could invent 'healthy' cigarettes? Get on it, scientific community. Forget the hoverboard for now.
I do - I really do.
Ha, lil Sebastian.
That's fine and all - it's your money.
But I'm saying the whole idea of the public having to forgive her at all is very weird to me. Harding only owes one person an apology - Kerrigan. The public is not owed anything from her. If Harding is asking the public to forgive because the public thinks it is owed an apology, that's just weird. Like, people commit more serious crimes than this all the time, but I haven't offered my forgiveness to any one of those people and don't expect to anytime soon.
Thanks, man.
I personally like her as the boss lady because I feel like she plays the role really well.
However, if it's truth juice time, the reason is because this show still doesn't know how to incorporate its lead female characters. STILL.
I'd say look at Caitlyn as a perfect example of this. She's this very intelligent, very skilled scientist, but all she has ever done is stand passively in the background while Sisco explains most things and she chimes in here and there - just so she has a reason to even be there. Her Ronnie story-line was beyond pitiful. Even with her new 'badass' alter ego, her main role in the show is still to be the 'mom' of the group and cheer the other members on when they feel sad and occasionally patch up injuries.
Iris is much the same. She is supposed to be this amazing ace reporter, but we didn't get to see her do any actual reporting or work in the field until season 2 I think - can't remember coz it didn't matter. Her only job really thus far has to make us sympathize with Barry and that's it - whether it's by being the girl who he longs for, but can never get, or the girl whom he might lose. In this role, at least she's her own person. But even so, it's not one that marks her as a separate individual with well defined goals and abilities. She is also, in a sense, another 'mom' character.
I would suggest to do so, soon. I personally think it's a great film.
You might be right. But I don't think anyone except Kerrigan should expect to forgive or not forgive her for those crimes.
Obviously I like the train scene in Spiderman 2, but I'm also a huge fan of the ending of The People Under the Stairs. I won't detail either - just check them out if you haven't and you'll see what I mean.
Ghost. A lot of people think of this as a romantic film - which ain't a lie - but it's more of a thriller than anything else.
I quite enjoyed Det. Nick Ruskin in The Bone Collector.
If you're asking me who I actually enjoy as opposed to who is iconic in culture, I like Stephanie Speck from Short Circuit, Trinity from The Matrix, Sarah Connor from the first Terminator film and Gertie from E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. But I would say Sarah Connor from Terminator Judgement Day, Ripley and Leia from Star Wars are the iconic ones that permeate culture more - but I don't necessarily like those the best.
I have too many. I'm just gonna put the ones I can remember here:
Leslie Knope and Ron Swanson – Parks & Recreation
Lex Luthor – Smallville
Prof. Maximilian Arturo – Sliders (and pretty much John Rhys-Davies in any TV series, especially Gargoyles)
Stiles and Lydia – Teen Wolf
Ang and Prince Zuko – Avatar: The Last Airbender
Maxine Gray - Judging Amy
Titus Andromedon - Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
Sorry, I just paired up the ones from the same shows.
Yeah. I've watched it a few times. The first, I wasn't a fan. I watched it a few years later and appreciated it more - and the more times I watch it, it grows more on me.
I was responding specifically to StarWarsRey making this statement:
[i]I really don't understand why anyone would forgive Tonya Harding...[/i]
Mostly because it's this kind of thinking that led to her, what's the term? Disbarment? From figure skating. Because of the press and then the viewers deciding what the truth was - and by that I mean what they wanted the truth to be. It's weird, man. Tonya Harding didn't do anything to anyone except possibly Nancy Kerrigan. And Nancy Kerrigan still went to the Olympics so...what even is Harding being forgiven for and who says it should be up to the public to ask for it?
That's the point I was making. And I agree - maybe Tonya Harding is the one owed an apology.
Not sure. But I know you can still play online - here's a link:

Just press Y to begin playing when it asks if you want to use the previous setup.
Why does anyone need to forgive her? This is a weird concept to me.
Well, as someone who doesn't give two ships about awards and critics, I think it was definitely worth it. I don't even think it matters if you're a Tonya Harding fan/hater.
Margot Robbie was, for me, unexpectedly superb in this role - my feelings exactly.
