I completely forgot about this scene and omg was I living.
I assume this woman was manager of the boat or something that Braunwyns daughters fashion show was on? She really said (internally) "you want to be a Real Housewife? Imma show you what a Real housewife is like"
I was shocked all over again
For some reason I decided to rewatch all 3 versions back2back throughout the weekend. Why? The temptation was just there to remind myself how good it started and how bad it could get.
Not many franchises get the opportunity to be animated, live action, and a film...all telling the same story but this one does for the first season.
The movie remains bad with very few lowlights to it. I forgot how weak they made everyone, having Firebenders rely on actual fire to firebend, earth benders doing their silly little bending dances to move 1 single rock, zooming through the story at lightning pace, having your big finale...not have Aang taken over by the water spirit and not giving us a water kaiju. And of course the white washing of the good guys. The Fire nation looks beyond generic.
Both live action adaptations give us Ozai. Both move the comet to 3 years to adjust for the time it takes to film these things. Though at least the film introduces Azula at the end as a cliffhanger so I will give them that small thing over the netflix show. Iroh, even being hot in the movie is still a relatively good adaptation I guess so he got lucky there.
I dont think either of the adaptations manage to make any improvements over the animated series. Maybe Netflix with actually allowing fire benders to set people on fire?
RHOBH is the star of Real Housewives being the ONLY franchise to get new looks every.single.season.
It took them until Season 14 to get a brand new graphic introduction though they did change their logo of sunglasses to a diamond come season for their big S10 (Idk why it took that long for someone to decide a diamond makes more sense....but....)
And of course their unused intro had them using Champagne flutes
RHONJ had 6.5 different intro looks across 14 seasons. The .5 is simply because for some odd reason they did new ones for some and kept others old all within the same intro.
They also managed 3 different graphic changes between said 14 seasons.
It is safe to say that they will get brand new intros and a brand new graphic come Season 15.
Theresa had 6 changes between 14 seasons
Melissa had 4 changes between her 12 seasons
Dolo had all of 2! between 8 seasons
The Marge got 2 between 7 seasons
Caroline got 3 between 5 seasons
Jacq got 4 between 6 seasons
Dina/Danielle got 2 between 2 seasons
Jen Aydin got 2 between 6 seasons
RHOP got 4 different looks across 10 seasons.
They also had 2 different graphic changes within those 10 seasons.
Gizelle/Ashley/Karen had 4 different looks across 10 seasons
Robyn/Wendy/Candiace/Mia/Monique had 3
Monique doesnt hold a Champaign flute while pregnant.
The intros for all US RH that made it 5+ seasons.
RHOC: 15 different intro looks across 19 seasons. 4 graphic changes between 19 seasons
RHONY: 10 different intro looks across 15 seasons. 5 graphic changes between 15 seasons.
RHOA: 8 different intro looks across 17 seasons. 4 different graphic changes between 17 seasons.
RHONJ: 6.5 different intro looks across 14 seasons. 4 different graphic changes between 14 seasons. They change a couple of HWs into new looks while keeping others in the same look for various seasons.
RHOBH: 15 different looks across 15 seasons. 2 different graphic changes between 15 seasons.
RHOM: 4 different looks across 7 seasons. 3 different graphic changes between 7 seasons.
RHOP: 4 different looks across 10 seasons. 2 different graphic changes between 10 seasons.
RHOSLC: 2 different looks across 6 seasons. 0 graphic changes.
RHOD: 2 different looks across 5 seasons. 1 graphic change between 5 seasons.
i've been going backwards in my rewatch, having finished LoK and then starting ATLA. Onto the final season.
For all intents and purposes, The Fire Nation/Ozai believes Aang/The Avatar is dead (sans Azzy/and Zuzu), they do not do not know that killing an Avatar in the Avatar State ends the cycle but then they appear to just take a long winded holiday.
One would think that this would lead Ozai to having at least The South Water Tribe to be invaded and all recent newborns abducted and taken to the fire nation. Of course there is the North Water Tribe that they would have issues invading but it takes some possibilities off the board.
Or maybe they just did not care that much since the comet would be coming before a new Avatar could have any major impact. I have to think that's probably the reason.
It's officially been 1 year since the big announcement that was meant to change our lives for the better.
We were all so happy that day...
Like the title says, it's nice that we've been able to see the Gaang throughout their life, even if some were mere glimpses.
I did like how they didnt give them one big happy "grow old together" story. Losing 2 of the 5 at a still relatively "young" age is sad.
Though I do wish we got to see Katara and Zuko flashbacks in LoK in their late 20s/early 30s like we get with Toph and Aang.
Andy talks about the "scripted' moment in Italy wherein Dorit takes a van and leaves Erika/Kyle "stranded".
Dorit did take one of the two vans and the other was productions van which they took leading E/K to call the house to request a ride and lead to productions van returning.
Details.
Kimmi was on Andys Girls and revealed that she had been offered Real Housewives of London at the same time as Ladies of London.
Obviously she made her choice, mainly due to knowing more people so it felt more comfortable.
Kyle reveals that Amanda/West timing of their announcement coinciding with the SH episode of him talking about Loverboys financial woes caused tremendous fan support delaying possible bankruptcy.
Kyle needs to pay off a 2.9million loan.
Happy to hear it but i don't think Loverboy will last much longer at this rate. He needs a financial partner, someone to buy it out for a pretty penny.....somethin.
Very odd that Bravo didn't announce Still Flipping Out at upfronts.
Could be because they plan such a late premiere? They shot an entire season so it'll be coming at some point
Very telling that RHORI & Summer House got quick renewals.
Reza wasn't even aware of TV:P s2 last week.
No Jeff Lewis even though they just wrapped season 1
A look at most of the characters that appeared between the 4 MK films, minus any recasts that were in MK:A such as Sonya Blade and Raidin. Always interesting to see how things have changed.
I feel like the biggest improvements were Sub-Zero, Raidin, Scorpion, and Shao-Kahn. Oh and obviously Baraka for obvious reasons lol.
I feel like we have never seen a HW have a harder season in every single than we did Gina in S14.
And she's ONLY 34 during this.
I'm finishing up S13 rewatch and its actually a pretty good season. Not an OMG GREAT season but certainly not bad.
The reunion has been great though.
Kelly "look at yourself in the mirror"
Vicki "you do cocaine. You called me fat."
lol that was just pure gold. It makes me sad all over again that Kelly Dodd had to be an even worse person outside of the show than she was in.
Gina/Emily weren't bad additions starting out, they had decent first seasons that were fairly raw and they werent afraid of any of the veterans .
I have to give it to OC for tackling weight issues and not being afraid to get plastic surgery while filming the show and being bruised afterward lol. No other franchise is as open about those things.
We're at the start of Tamra vs Shannon and they were both in the wrong/right which is the best feuds we can have in Housewives.
Kelly revealing that Steve was using Vicki for money....it took a couple years but she was right! It was a long con, he just went about it smarter than Brooks.
It isnt a HUGE surprise since it is Season 20 but nice to have confirmation that they are shooting a new promo shoot and intro shoots for the new season. Shannon confirmed it on JLL.
Though I never realized that they had to source their own outfits for those. I always figured that Bravo would bring in wardrobe.
Legend of the Sailor Wars...it's a good episode but the writers really should've used it to go full throttle into the past.
We see the briefest of flashbacks to Chaos being stopped but they could've showed us the Starlights home planet and them going to war w/Galaxia & Animates along with her other conquests. Showing how she came across the Animates would've been a great way to segway into Tin getting partially healed and add more overall to Princess K.
Give us a full 20 minutes of storytime.
Kate Chastain is the NBCU reality tv darling. They and Bravo do not want to let her go (for good reason) and find ways to keep her around.
She isn't on Below Deck anymore but still participates in the Below Deck After Shows
She pitched and got the Bravo talkshow that was short lived
2 seasons of The Traitors
Just got to the finale and lost House of Villains
Where should they have her pop up in next? Should they be trying to find a more long time show for her to appear in/lead? I think she lives in Florida, something there? Obviously not RHOM (even if it were airing, she just doesnt fit in general)
