Mr. Fanboy ep 2 :
I agree, very stellar second EP from the show. I think it's in one way very fascinating to watch the comparison how this and Payback describe entertainment industry companies. Payback's description was very gloomy (fitting the overall theme of the show) while I think Fanboy's description is bit more balanced. The truth probably being something in between, and certainly in real life there most likely are companies that offer a lot of support to actors, while others are predatory and just throw you at the deep end to see can you swim.
I think only question mark I had for this ep was, that while it seems that the company in Fanboy is generally supportive to their new talent, but putting freshly recruited actors in an actual show's workshop without perquisite acting classes felt odd. And they even had very in-depth discussion about the classes with Wan before the workshop. For me this felt like not giving Wan all the opportunities to succeed. If a company genuinely recruits ppl trough short audition performances, that does not make anyone immediately a ready-to-film actor.

Found out the sill plate and rim joist at the back of my house is rotted out. 😮💨 I'll have to buy some hydraulic jacks, cut out a piece of the kitchen floor and go under the house and jack up the back a couple of inches and cut the rot out and replace it. 😭 This is going to be a long process.
That sounds like serious work. We've been in this house for over 25 years with minimum maintenance. Now, it's all catching up to us: another paint job, new windows, new roof (which means new solar), rotted cast iron pipes, etc. But nothing that needs a hydraulic jack. All the best with that process, and I truly hope it goes smoothly.

I'm doing everything myself so that will cut cost, but I still have to wait to buy all the tools for this a little at a time and the total cost in tools is around $850 for just this small section too. But yeah, while I have the hydraulic javks I can also level the house properly and line the crawl space with a specialized tarp for moisture control, then insulate underneath the floor boards. It will all the worth it when it's done. The house was really old and neglected for so long.
Yours sounds like a pain too. Especially the new roof and solar. I will be installing solar to a free standing shed (once I get it) and learning how all that works. Maybe I can add solar to my roof once I see how to properly prevent leaks.
Just a few more days until I get to see the cuties from Your Summer, My Storm ! 🥰

Oh no 😭 That sounds like a lot of work ! Good luck with all that, I hope everything goes well and you don’t have too many bad surprises.
Oh I'm expecting so many nasty surprises still. 😂 Every time I repair one thing, another issue is unearth. If I don't laugh I will cry. 😭

Sorry for the rather lengthy post!
Not at all. I enjoyed reading your comments. It's interesting to hear your thoughts on the six titles I'm likewise watching and especially on other the seven titles in my hopelessly massive queue.
I have nothing to say except that I have discovered the usefulness of the 1.5x and 2x speeds.
Haha! I make extensive use of 1.5X and 2X anyways, even for reasonably good titles.
There is something about KBL that really doesn’t work for me.
I haven't yet started "Summertime" and thus can't comment, but it seems to me that KBLs have - with some notable exceptions (including "Prosecutor's Proposal" from the makers of "Summertime) - gone downhill from the prime a few years back. Lots of forgettable verticals these days.
On the other hand, JBLs have been booming lately - certainly in quantity, and to some extent also quality.

Don’t Be Too Emotional ep10
So this show continues to surprise me. I don’t seem to be able to read where it’s going at all. Little Jane’s thinking throughout confused me a bit, but I loved the scenes in the bar and the car, and the facial expressions were great. Big Jane still makes me melt. But then…omg they brought in the truck of doom and my least favorite third-act trope: amnesia! I am so frustrated right now! I don’t mind watching Big Jane try to woo Little Jane again, but I don’t want to watch him and Dan fight over Little Jane anymore. Also I just feel like the characters have been through so much and now they have to start over?! Grrrr.
i just finished ep 6 and i feel you. i had just finished crying myself ugly, and now reading this, i want to give the writers a bop in the head lol. is the reason why they titled this like this, is because it will be an emotional ride? lol
