Hey Nisha, could you do this again but with Kol and Jeremy’s reactions? I will give you a cookie. :)

I hope writers explore the Bennett line too since Qetsiyah is the Bennett’s ancestor and connected to Silas… like how did she die? what was exactly her relationship with Silas? a little light on the bennett line too maybe?
I am just sitting here thinking about the fact if this happen, I’d be happy since Bonnie and Damon will find out more about their families together..
If only we had better writers because we would actually see the history of the Bennetts explored since they’re supernatural royalty and are deeply connected to almost everything in the supernatural world on this show. I want to know more about Qetsiyah and that connection to Silas, because for all their buildup of how Silas is/was the most powerful witch alive during his time, it seems like she was far more powerful than him since she perfected the immortality spell, entombed him, created a cure to vampirism, and then went on to create a version of the afterlife/purgatory that holds every supernatual creature that ever died. I’m already speculating with everyone else that it might be revealed that Bonnie is the Dopplegänger of Qetsiyah, what gives weight to this theory is the fact that there’s almost as much of a mystery surrounding Qetsiyah as there was surrounding Silas. Bonnie lowered the veil to communicate with her, but she was never seen onscreen, when Galen showed up he claimed he had a message from her, and there was the spoiler that she and the witches on the other side were up to something and nothing came of that spoiler. If they ever decide to go deep into the Bennett family roots, I only hope Bonnie is alive when they do; nothing ticked me off more than Esther telling Elena about Bonnie’s family history; if anyone deserved to know more about the Bennett family, it’s Bonnie.
At the bolded, I am still really confused about this. I though Qetsiyah made the immortality spell, but in the finale they said Silas. So at what point are we to assume that Silas is lying. Also, I am still not sure how i feel about Silas’ non-chalant attitude towards Bonnie’s death. I thought she was soooo important to everything wouldn’t he be a tad bit upset? Whatever, Julie was directly involved in this script and that was never gonna be a good sign for the developments of Bennetts.
Its kinda sad that I won’t be watching S5 due to my anger with the Bennett sl, a history of magic in the Salvatore bloodline could be interesting.

Zach Roerig as Damon Salvatore
OHHH. I never even thought of this. That’s awesome! I almost like it better…?
I just thought it’d be a cool twist, since Ian already has this super sinister/serial killer kind of look (he does!), and there’s something slightly scarier about someone who looks SO innocent and all-american jock. I’ve always wanted to see a cast-swap with this.
Ahhhh yea. That’s that shit I do like.
To be completely honest, I would have switched all the girls roles, Candice for Elena, Kat for Caroline and Nina for Bonnie, but a closer version of Book!Bonnie so more psychic than witch.

becoming a vampire (2x09) // becoming human (4x23)
Now that she is human again, if they do not address her motherhood, even if its to only say that she never wanted it anyway, I will have lost any capability I could have had to respect these writers.

Three years ago, I was first introduced by Netflix to South Korean cinema when I saw Park Chan-Wook’s Oldboy. As most people, I was absolutely blown away. The film is well near perfect.
Acting? Great.
Cinematography? Awesome.
Editing? Effective.
Fight choreography? Excellent.
Score and its utilization? Fantastic.
Story? Effing twisted.
Therefore, directing was superb.
So, let’s say when an excellent, one-of-a-kind film is made, what should one do?
NOT MAKE A FREAKING REMAKE.
But as we all know, Hollywood’s hopped onto this very idea.
With Spike Lee directing, Mark Protosevich writing, and Josh Brolin starring, who friggin’ knows how this will turn out.
Personally, I ain’t no fan of Spike Lee. Personally or cinematically.
I give him made props for 25th Hour, though. That film’s a gem. Inside Man is okay, I’ll need to see it again. But as for the rest, I like to take a few steps back from them.
However, Justin Lin was going to be the original director of this remake, and I’ll honestly take Spike Lee over that guy for this project ANY day.
I’m really nervous for this screenplay for various reasons, but the main reason is because of WHO is writing the screenplay. And that is Mark Protosevich. Who’s wrote such WONDERFUL films like Poseidon, I Am Legend, and Thor. I got a pretty good feeling that this guy isn’t going to really get what made the story of Park Chan-Wook’s so swell.
In Oldboy 2013’s defense, it IS allegedly supposed to stay true to the manga unlike Park Chan-Wook’s did (but maybe there’s a good reason why Park Chan-Wook changed a lot). Then again, is this Mark guy really finna even understand the manga? Most likely not.
Josh Brolin, today’s Kevin Kostner, is going to “star” in Oldboy 2013 … I really can’t decide if that’s better or worse than having Will Smith, who was originally casted, “star” in the film. I think that’s a post for another time.
That’s all the negatives in a nutshell, now it’s time for the positives in a nutshell:
1) Sharlto Copley as the film’s antagonist = MIGHT BE THE BIGGEST REASON WHY I WILL SEE THIS.
2) Elizabeth Olsen as the daughter of the protagonist = MIGHT BE THE SECOND BIGGEST REASON WHY I WILL SEE THIS.
3) Samuel L. Jackson is also in the film. But I think that’s just because I’m curious.
4) The cinematography should be pretty dope, considering it’s done by Sean Bobbit, who’s most known for working for Steve McQueen’s entire three-film filmography (Hunger, Shame, and Twelve Years A Slave) plus United 93 and The Place Beyond The Pines. All of which have amazing cinematography.The main reason for my interest in seeing Oldboy 2013 can all just be boiled down to curiosity. I’m not expecting it to be amazing, or even good, or even entertaining. I just wanna see what happens. Initially, I was pretty pissed off about it. But being up to date with all its production changes, this could’ve been a lot worse. So I will be grateful for that. As we all should.
Would you rather see a remake of Oldboy directed by Justin Lin / Steven Spielberg starring Will Smith?
Didn’t think so.
I love Oldboy so much that I can’t see me not watching the remake, even though I am already predisposed to dislike it. I have looked for positives though.
A bright spot with Lee directing is that he isn’t afraid to take risks, he’s one of the few directors that I can see actually keeping the original ending even in a big budget Hollywood film. I can begrudingly see Josh Brolin in the main role, and as much as I liked the clean cut cute guy who played the Korean protagonist an almost complete 180 from other villians, Copley is a great actor and should at least be interesting to watch. Olsen is an excellent pick too. All in all, casting is mostly okay, and directing can go either way.
Its the screenplay that scares me. Protosevich has a tendency to try and make these grand statements and its usually very obvious. (even though a ton of the issues in I Am Legend would have been saved by sticking with the original ending but thats another issue for another time) In comparison to the extremely subtle messages in Oldboy, Im worried, very worried.
Im trying to stay positive, but I seriously have my doubts.
despite knowing everything I still can’t help but root for them.

He’s always available to travel with her. Is he her manager?
According to Google and IMDB he’s an actor, writer,producer, model……………………
Aren’t they married now? Im still kinda surprised that I can’t find an official announcement for that.
What if…
all the Bamon-talk at the con wasn’t about the show, what if Ian and/or Kat secretly read all the badass fanfics out there and their favs stopped writing due to lack of inspiration so they were just trying to inspire you to keep going.
I’m not even joking right now, ya’ll know Kat knows more about fanon than we do, you cannot convince me that she has never read a fanfic before.
HOW IS THIS VIDEO NOT ALL OVER TUMBLR THIS IS SERIOUSLY THE FUNNIEST MOTHERFUCKING THING I’VE SEEN IN AGES.
Fuck, that was perfect. Ah, I needed that.
