I love creating music playlists! And I love when I can just put one on for whatever occasion and know that the vibes will stay the same. For this playlist, I wanted songs that would keep me moving and grooving.
Some of the songs on my 30-second Dance Party playlist:
Hot Line - The Sylvers
I Decided - Solange
Hush Lil' Lady - Corey
How Will I Know - Keke Palmer
Everybody is Somebody - TEEN DREAM (From Lean on Me soundtrack)
He Loves U Not - Dream
Doo Wop (That Thing) - Lauryn Hill
Ching-A-Ling - Missy Elliott
Bring It All Back - S Club 7
What would be on your 30-Second Dance Party playlist?
I know that these style of posts seemingly pop up daily, but I finished a rewatch of Battlestar Galactica (2005) and was searching for a show to dip into again. Ran through my options and saw the 2006 BBC Robin Hood series.
First episode in and I remember all the reasons I loved this series when i found it around 2007. A really solid series and my personal favorite telling of Robin Hood. But it's also a show that as i watch it now 20-some years later, i probably wouldn't stick through it if i came upon it today.
it's one of those 'You had to be there' shows for me. In the moment, waiting for new seasons/series, talking with people on forums, finding any scrap of information I could in the US on the show...you just had to be there I guess :).
Any other shows fit that bill for you all? (Yes I may be farming for more shows to add to my list...)
I was doing some browsing on the intrawebs and came across this interview from last year.
And I love the picture of Chance & Ricky! 🥰🥹
Enjoy!
Man Up (2015)
Summary: "A single woman takes the place of a stranger's blind date and finds the perfect man for her."
A few years ago, I saw this on Netflix, recognized Simon Pegg and decided to give it a shout. And wow! It easily found a spot in my Top 5! 🙌🏾
Nancy (Lake Bell) and Jack (Simon Pegg) are so ridiculous, so funny and so sweet! The side characters are enjoyable. The revenge is sweet and the ending gets me every time. 🤎 It takes place over one day and has the mistaken identity bit which is so delightful. It's really the perfect romcom.
If you've never seen it, watch it.
If you've seen it, watch it again! 🤣
The Holiday is one of my favourite movies of all time. I adore almost everything about it except... Jack Black.
Whenever I see other people agree with me on this, they'll usually say something fatphobic or rude about his looks, which i completely disagree with. Firstly, because it isn't appropriate to say those things, but secondly because I think Jack Black is a perfectly good-looking person. My issue with his casting is that I genuinely don't think he has the kind of earnestness and sincerity required for the role. It always feels like he is a moment away from making a bad joke.
It does not help that he is cast opposite Kate Winslet, who is acting circles around him. They have no chemistry to boot and i don't know which casting director was moved to hire him opposite her. Because Iris' plot is divided between Black and the screenwriter guy, their romance isn't given any time to develop properly. And honestly, I am glad, because I always cringe when he is on screen trying to deliver this dialogue that sounds stunted and awkward coming from his mouth. I always find myself waiting for his scenes to be over, and in the dozen times I have seen this movie, it only gets worse on each rewatch.
It might have been better had he been able to play a platonic role for Iris, so he could be the goofy guy in peace without the pressure to also be sincere and soulful. She doesn't need a love interest for her arc anyway.
The more obvious casting choice was John Krasinski, who has a minor role in this movie and has both comedic timing and the romantic chops to play the role. I wish I could watch THAT version of this movie.
My question is if anyone agrees with me? Is there anyone out there who can validate my annoyance with this casting choice please? 😅
Edit: I need to stress again that I don't care that he is not a "hallmark hunk" nor do I find it unbelievable that Iris would fall for him. It is his awkward line delivery and forced sincerity that bothers me. Also i should stress that I love this movie so you don't need to convice me about how he helps Iris in her character development.
ANOTHER edit: i am muting notifications on this now, since a lot of the comments I am getting now are condescending. I made a comment saying "to each their own" and it was downvoted. Sorry I didn't know Jack Black was paying y'alls rent like that. Seems this is a touchy subject for people lol i may check back on this post later
Y'all, I just created a list of the saddest TV deaths. 🥲 I don't even remember why. 🤣 But I divided them into different categories, like hurricanes, basically how hurt I was at the death.

Station 19 >!(Dean Miller- Just an unserious cast of writers. I will slap EVERYBODY!)!<
Grey's Anatomy >!(Greta [S04E15] If you've watched Grey's or even heard about it, you know that main characters die throughout all 20+ seasons, and patients double & triple that. But GRETA??! When I think about Greta, I could cry. And I've NEVER cried watching that show. GRETAAAAA!!! My little Cinderella! 👸🏾)!<
Oh! I just remembered why I got on this subject. 🤣 I was watching a video I made about Grey's Anatomy and Dean was in it. 🥲
Who are your saddest TV Deaths? Please put in a spoiler text for everyone else!
Noah's Arc aired for two seasons on Logo from October 19, 2005 to October 4, 2006.
I don't know if I was seated when it was premiered, but I wasn't too far behind. I used to flip from The-N to Logo. 🤣🤣 And this was the only show I watched on Logo (Edit: I used to love 1 Girl, 5 Gays, too) and I was hooked! 👏🏾
So when did you first discover the show? 😊
One of my favorite subgenres! Kids making things happen or rich dad being oblivious! 😂
It Takes Two (1995) is one of my favorite movies ever.
The Parent Trap (1998) is just sooo good! The one from 1961 is adorable as well.
And Au Pair (1999) is a fun, little movie!
I also love how Jane Sibbett (Clarice in ITT) reprises her role as the gold digging fiancée! She plays conniving so well! 🤣
Any other movies to add to this subgenre?
*edit: the caption on ITT's movie poster has the incorrect year. 🤦🏾♀️
Who is your favorite dad in one of their shows or movies?
Hi everybody!

Let us know!
I saw this link on Twitter. And then watched it on YouTube and I wanted to share it with everyone.
For those 5:45 seconds, it felt nice to be in that universe again. It reminds me of the Fresh Prince reboot (Bel-Air)--darker, a little more serious, but still has its funny moments and callbacks.
Let me know what y'all think!
WNBA: in 30th season! 👏🏾
Unrivaled: off-season
AU: off-season
Upshot League: in inaugural season. 🥳
NCAAW: (college) off-season
If you are, what team(s) do you root for? If you're not, it's always a good time!
This one made me cackle. 😂
Sometimes these MMCs be talking out the side of their neck!! And you gotta wonder who is he talking to?! 🧐🤣
I love Talia's channel! If you know her, period! If not, follow immediately!
Hi, everyone! (❁´◡`❁)
I loooove trivia and I wanted to try something in this sub. I'm gonna ask a question about the show. If you know it, comment the answer. And then you also have to ask a question for the next person!
Who said "If I'd known we were gonna have a jam session, I would've brought my French horn"?
"If someone offered you $1,000,000 to watch the same episode for 24 hours straight, could you do it, and what episode do you choose?"
I'm going with: "Dr. War is Hell" S02E01 or "A Stepping Stone" S02E07.
What y'all got? LOL
