Project Runway / All-Stars / Junior / Under the Gunn
Just had a look at the collections. It's fairly obvious who did what from the 20 or so outfits I saw. Some of them are very very impressive. Others not so much. I'm also in the "gone off Margarita" camp. I loved her at the start, but especially in that last episode, her attitude stinks. Oooooh, I just read about something that happens during the runway show that I really hope we get to see. It sounds amazing.

The X Factor ● Series 14 ● Live Shows Week 2
Nobody is exaggerating when they say that was one of the worst live shows ever. It was appalling. The CutKelvins were abysmal - her vocals were shrill and out of tune. Leon was obviously just crap. Rak-Su were same old, same old. Sam was.....there. I mean, I've no words for him. And I've never understood why Sean and Connor even made it to lives. So that leaves Jack and Joel, who surprisingly were not actually awful. The lead singer actually has a very good voice, he's just extremely creepy. And Lloyd. So, he'll never be everyone's cup of tea but he was the best by an absolute mile. I HATE that song but I didn't mind his version. His vocal was exceptional, particularly in the 2nd half. He really took it there. Hopefully next week it's girls and groups on the same night so we can have a winner's sing off that isn't Grace v Rak-Su.

Doctor Foster • Series 2
I actually thought Simon was going to push Gemma in front of the traffic when she was trying to save him. Now THAT would have been dramatic. Admittedly, that whole scene was very tense. I still don't understand the suicide kit/handwritten note though. It's just bizarre.

Doctor Foster • Series 2
Really disappointed and just plain confused by that finale. She left him a suicide kit full of medical equipment, so if he had used it, all eyes would have automatically gone to her. Remember there were previous suspicions about her helping his mum to die. Also, a handwritten instruction letter?? Huh??

A massive nope at the ending of this week's episode. God damn.

It: Chapter One
Not quite. Annabelle: Creation has outgrossed the first one in every respect. Currently on more than $40 million more worldwide (and $20 million more domestically).

iTunes Weekly Thread W/C 15th September 2017
Yeah it's a shame as they could quite easily make top 40 again with this, given the sales for this week. I'm hoping they'll climb steadily for the rest of the day and hold on to give them a chance.

iTunes Weekly Thread W/C 15th September 2017
They entered at that number about an hour ago I think. They're top 30 now.

Project Runway / All-Stars / Junior / Under the Gunn
Actually, given that the focus is on making women of all shapes and sizes feel great in the designs, it makes perfect sense to hear directly from the models themselves. I like that they're including that.

Steps - 'Tears on the Dancefloor'
The album is being re-released with new tracks, to coincide with the tour. It has been rumoured for a while, but someone on another forum confirmed it. They've been filming something recently, so that may well be a video for a new track.

It: Chapter One
Definitely, but it seems to have really captured a younger audience too, which is great. I think anyone that went into it hoping for them to have improved the 1990 version was in for a treat. Pretty much everything was done better, even if the original Pennywise was arguably closer to the book version. Any younger horror fans that went hoping for it to scare the pants of them may leave a little disappointed.

Thor: Ragnarok
They're doing everything right promo-wise for this. It looks incredible. This is 100% going to be the highest grossing Thor movie.
-
It: Chapter One
I knew it was going to do well but I definitely didn't expect an opening well north of $100 million. It's really amazing.
-
It: Chapter One
I think that's fair. There were definitely moments where I thought, wow that was a lot. A more subtle approach would have worked wonders in some scenes and would have been infinitely scarier.

It: Chapter One
Ah thanks, that's nice of you to say. I love writing. I technically do it for a living, but writing about movies is much more interesting than what I do, so it's far more enjoyable. I haven't posted that much recently, but will definitely try to get on more! Oh and Colossal is worth a watch if you find the time. It totally flew under the radar, but it's a bit of a gem.
-
It: Chapter One
Thanks! I don't run the site, they just ask me to review sometimes if I have seen a movie before one of them has. There's a whole archive of their reviews, so there will be one for all the big new releases. They're super passionate about movies, so the reviews are always a good read. Their podcasts are also very funny. I've only reviewed It, Power Rangers and Colossal for them. You can see them by clicking on my name at the top of the review. I'm going to start doing a lot more for them from now on though. I really hope you like it. I do think people who don't usually go for horror will find it very scary. But it's also genuinely, laugh out loud funny in parts. Honestly, those kids are bloody fantastic.

It: Chapter One
I've written a review for it, for a movie review/podcast site. Be grateful for some views and thoughts - http://www.outpost31podcast.com/news-and-reviews/it-2017 It was indeed very good. Not perfect, but I wasn't disappointed.
-
It: Chapter One
Seeing this today. Can't wait! It's rocking an 89% score on Rotten Tomatoes after 139 critic reviews. I have high hopes.

Agreed. The twins are horrific. They're insufferable.

America's Got Talent
I love AGT. Honestly, Mandy's performance was one of the most astonishing things I've ever seen. To be able to sing like that without hearing yourself to correct your pitch is astounding.

Petition For NMSS Promo
Is this for real? What on earth? Seriously, the song has done great so far. Especially for a 3rd single off a huge album. Most artists would sell an organ to be in that position, especially given the fact they're playlisted on radio and Spotify. Anyway, stop being so selfish and greedy. The UK has had a crazy amount of performances of Shout Out and Touch during this era, on the biggest TV and award shows we have. Why can't their US fans see them for a while? This is ridiculously over the top. "Before it's too late" - too late for what? They're not going up against the firing squad if it doesn't go top 10. Good lord.

iTunes Weekly Thread W/C 21st April 2017
I feel exactly the same. I just don't really understand why songs that perform so strongly on iTunes, and bounce back with only the slightest of promotion, still get absolutely no support on streaming. It's bizarre to me. The whole appeal of streaming for me is instantly adding new songs to my playlists, but I could then be on there for ages going from one artist to another, finding old songs I'd forgotten about or discovering new ones. Obviously it doesn't help when Spotify doesn't feature artists like Steps on their main playlists, which is where the bulk of streams come from, but I still struggle to see why they're really not picking up any casual streamers from all this promo.

American Horror Story: Cult
That article is from back in February. Ryan recently confirmed that the first 10 minutes of the opening episode will feature characters watching the election on TV and it'll be real footage. So, they're not casting a fictional Trump-esque character. He said the season will be about the horrors that happen to the characters on election night and the aftermath of it. https://www.bustle.com/p/this-is-how-ahs-se...ld-expect-53091

iTunes Weekly Thread W/C 21st April 2017
I'd expect Steps to get a big boost soon. Their performance on Mrs Brown's show just aired and it was really good.
