:cool:

Thanks for that Duque, I'll look into that.

May be hard to find but in cinémathèques (BFI?).
A DVD was released 9 years ago in France, without subtitles for the original French audio.

The Wedding Date.  Debra Messing hires male escort Dermot Mulrooney as her date at her sister's wedding.  This is a bad movie even by rom com standards.

Why is it that in these these transatlantic rom coms the chicks are always American?

I have seen some Americans in films doing ok accents.
There was a recent film how to build a girl where the young American main actor did a good Brummie. And then there was meryl streep as the archbitch.

To facilitate identification between the primary target audience and the main character?

One episode of The Diplomat.  Good so far, dialogue is sharp.

I just recognized the ditzy British assistant as the adorable little sister in Lion, the Witch.  :)

And....season 1 ends on a cliffhanger.

Ted lasso. Another really good episode. Poor Sam, he's the series Miles O'Brien. I also liked evil  Rojas.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".

I might be in the minority, but I don't think this season is as good as previous ones. It's sort of all over the place. The stories involving the PR rep Keelee, or whatever, are boring and the West Ham manager's transition from evil dude to sympathetic guy doesn't make sense.

He was never particularly evil, was he? Just a smarmy womanizer. Which he still is, trying to get nate to cheat.

I agree there's more puff, the part I didn't like was the  Ibrahimovic character/story. But the good parts are still good.

They're making a five nights at Freddy's movie? Is the tank really that low?
