Does anyone know when it was taken (I know it was during the war, since Olga and Tatiana are in their nurse garb, but I don't know anything more exact then that)? Or where I can find a better quality version (I has to crop this one from another post)?
If you post a statement like "As everyone knows, Tsar Nicholas was a (whatever)" or "Anastasia did (such and such)" and the only content your post contains is two lines or a short paragraph reaffirming your statement, this can and likely will be considered spam and deleted.
Now, if you post some statement that you have a quote or source (preferably linked, but even copy/pasted can be fine in some cases) for, that's not spam and perfectly acceptable.
Or if your post title statement is for example "Tatiana loved dogs" and your post body is a photograph of her with her French bulldog, that's also fine. Because that's something to back up the statement in your post title and may be beneficial and enjoyable for someone who might not have seen the photo elsewhere. That's excellent! But if there's no picture and the post title is "Tatiana loved dogs" and the content is just two lines saying you heard she was given a French bulldog, that could be spam.
The exception is if it's a question. If you're asking the sub "Is it true Tatiana loved dogs?" and your post says you heard she had a French bulldog, that isn't spam or considered a blanket statement. You're actively using the sub for finding information. Just use the correct flare and you're fine.
But please refrain from blanket statement posts with no content, especially as some of these have clearly been used to start fights in the sub in the past.
Thank you for your understanding.
I love this little mermaid so much.
So my best friend had never seen Practical Magic, and we decided that we'd get a pizza (lamb and BBQ sauce, which turns out to be the best friggin pizza toppings in town) for lunch and I'd pop in my DVD.
She LIKED it. We had a great time watching and discussing what we took out of the movie's story. Somewhere in our discussion I mentioned I wanted to get my hair cut to look like Gillian's but I hate going to hairdressers because they smell (I'm allergic to perfume) and never do my hair the way I want anyway. My friend actually offered to cut my bangs for me, even though she was nervous as she's not a professional hairstylist. I told her she'd be fine because she's steadier handed with scissors than me. She ended up getting the sides perfect. But the middle is too short and wispy. We're going to try to make them thicker and more like Gillian's curtain bangs in the movie once they grow out some. Since it looks like we're going to end up going to see Practical Magic 2 together at the movies next month, I'm hoping my hair has grown out enough by then we can try again and maybe I'll have bangs like Gillian's in time to go see the second movie.
So excited.
This day was bliss for this Practical Magic fan! 😁
While fanfiction is allowed, and it's alright to use some AI for what if pictures to accompany your fanfiction/alternative posts, or preferably for colourizing and lighting (and if you do these, please include the original photographs whenever possible as well), full cgpt prompts, however, especially if you use AI to create not only the image but the whole story as well, are strongly, strongly discouraged from being posted.
Please at the very least create your own scenario before using AI for something small to accompany it. If your entire fanfiction was generated by AI, this may not be the best place for it. And it may be deleted. Thank you for your understanding.
And a reminder that chatbot conversations with the "Romanovs" are never allowed on here.
Someone on another sub was asking.
Honestly before we got the first trailer I was wondering if the flashbacks in this second movie wouldn't be for Rules of Magic and give us details of Regina and April, possibly to explain Vincent's relationship to Sally and Gillian. But when it became clear Vincent wasn't going to be in the new movie, fans were still speculating we might get flashbacks of Jet and Raphael.
But it seems like as far as flashbacks go, we're actually getting more of MARIA. And honestly I'm psyched! 😁 It fits so well with them trying to break her curse and potentially making Magic Lessons their next film if this one is successful.
One of my favorite book details was Maria's portrait which I honestly don't remember being a thing in the first movie so I love the emphasis seems to be on it here.
There are a couple new clips on this, I think!
While there is NOTHING wrong with just liking the first film (it's a great movie!) there seems to be this rather annoying push in the general fandom right now to imply the Alice Hoffman books and upcoming sequel movie are objectively not any good.
No one is making you like them. No one is making you read the books or go see the new movie. And you're free to say what you don't like about them, but this "omg, everything that is not the 1998 movie is awful/ruining the original" movement among some fans is getting ridiculous.
Your beloved 1998 movie wouldn't exist if Alice Hoffman hadn't written the 1995 book first; and no Alice did not "steal" the idea of the curse for her later books from the movie.
We're all sad Evan didn't get recast as Kylie, but the hatred against Joey is becoming cruel at this point. She's an actress who got hired for a job, she wasn't responsible for Evan not being considered.
And I know we love the cozy look of the original film, but there was no way a filmmaker could recreate it in 2026. If they put a filter to make it look like an older movie people would be bitching about "AI" the same way they're complaining about the "Netflix lighting".
We are incredibly lucky they rebuilt the house set and brought Nichole and Sandra back instead of just rebooting the whole series with a brand new cast. Loads of franchises now are getting horrible, horrible reboots, and just because this one doesn't look a hundred percent like you want it, it's still a direct sequel we are fortunate to have 30 years later.
No one is making you love it, but this increasing over dramatic, morally superior "disgust" towards the sequel and the book series is pathetic at this point. They're canon. But if you want to believe the first movie is the only canon and just rewatch the first movie that's fine. You don't need to whinge about how Sandra's face "omg doesn't move" and "the curse is supposed to be broken" every time a TV spot or trailer comes out.
Usually shortly before release there's a third movie trailer that's usually the most spoiler-y, does anyone know when PM 2's final/3rd trailer is coming out?
I think from around 1907, but I'm not sure. If anyone knows for sure or has any extra details, please share.
Some people were asking if the colourised version of this was "real" or not.
Here is the non-colour version from 1907.
