The Walking Dead finale: who met Lucille and who was safe? (spoilers)

the-walking-dead-episode-616-rick-lincoln-935
Spoilers from last night’s finale of The Walking Dead
Last night’s hour and a half finale of The Walking Dead seemed to epitomize all that was wrong with this season. There was a lot of filler and some genuinely tense moments, but it ended on a cliffhanger that left fans frustrated. At the end we got to see Negan, the big bad from the Saviors, played by the incredible Jeffrey Dean Morgan. He was definitely scary but more of a sympathetic character than I was expecting. Negan’s long speech to the crouching Alexandrites made sense to me. I especially liked how he explained that this was retribution for killing his men. “When I sent my people to kill your people for killing my people, you killed more of my people. Not cool.” He also said that he didn’t want to kill them, he just wanted them to work for him, which again sounded reasonable in context. As Morgan explained on Talking Dead afterwards, Rick’s people had killed over 20 Saviors, so Negan selecting just one person to kill was in no way extreme. The ending looked extreme to viewers though, especially when we were given just a few clues as to whom Negan actually killed. I can’t believe producers used that cheap tactic, yet again, after leaving Glenn’s fate up in the air for several episodes earlier this season.

During the final scene at first I thought that Negan had selected Carl to kill, but he was actually instructing his men to cut out Carl’s eye and feed it to Rick if anyone tried to stop him. That means that Carl and Rick are safe.

Highlight the text below to see speculative spoilers from the comics:
In the comics, Glenn meets his end here, but we know that WD producers don’t follow the comics and Glenn was at the end of the line. It looked like Negan selected someone more in the middle. It may have been Abraham, who died earlier in the comics from a crossbow to the head by the Saviors. Denise died on the show in the same way that Abraham died in the comics, so producers may have subbed Abraham’s death for Glenn’s here.

The rest of last night’s episode was just ok. I’m beginning to feel sorry for Morgan (the character, played by Lennie James), because his entire story arc with Carol just felt like filler. Morgan’s otherwise interesting backstory took up an entire episode earlier this season when we were waiting to hear what happened to Glenn. (Incidentally, that episode was also written by Scott M. Gimple, who was responsible for this one. Eff that guy.) Carol looked to be mortally injured when we last saw her, but Morgan and Carol coincidentally then ran into a couple of good looking nice guys in padded costumes. That seemed mildly ridiculous to me, like of course they’re going to fix up Carol and they’re going to be allies. Also ridiculous: father Gabriel being put in charge of Alexandria like he’s some trustworthy badass now when he’s always been a sniveling backstabber.

As for the fate of Maggie’s pregnancy, I only hope that she doesn’t die. I’m not too concerned either way. Another baby would only be a liability in this universe.

During Talking Dead, producer and this episode’s writer Scott Gimple very meekly explained the non-end. “The end of the story is what people saw and when we reveal who was on the receiving end, that’s going to be the start of another story… the effects from that.” He explained that he wanted viewers to feel suspense and terror like the core characters and that “We’re going to deliver you a story next season that justifies it.” Comic creator Robert Kirkman also said that he loved cliffhangers and defended it by saying “The cliffhanger isn’t the story.” He explained that the story was more about Rick’s transformation from being in charge to being beat down. It’s not like this blockbuster show is going to lose viewership if they wrap up lose ends. They don’t need to bait us to get us to watch next season.

Elsa Pataky & Chris Hemsworth ‘dressed up’ like Native Americans for NYE

elsa1

Usually this kind of thing happens around Halloween. Like, I expect “dressing up as other races like race is a costume” at Halloween. I wasn’t expecting it for New Year’s Eve. But it happened. Elsa Pataky and Chris Hemsworth threw a NYE party and it involved “costumes.” The theme seems to be “Wild West” so people were dressed up like cowboys (fine) and Native Americans. As you can see in this Instagram posted by Elsa Pataky, Chris Hemsworth and his wife were both “in costume” as Native Americans.

Do we even need to say words at this point about how wrong this is? Cultural appropriation is not cool. Someone’s race is not a costume. You could say “oh, but Elsa and Chris aren’t American, maybe they didn’t know.” Chris is Australian, and Australia has their own (similar) history of racism towards Australian Aborigines. I just don’t get why, in this day and age, celebrities don’t understand that this is NOT COOL. And not only that, why Elsa felt the need to post it on social media. Awful.

Incidentally, after Chris Hemsworth failed to launch himself as a stand-alone movie star outside of Marvel films, his asking price per film has gone down to $6-$8 million (after an asking price of $12 million). Maybe moving back to Australia wasn’t such a great idea after all?

Zoe Saldana on her weight loss: ‘I mean it mommies, if I did it you can too’

22nd Annual ELLE Women in Hollywood Awards - Arrivals
For months, Zoe Saldana has been lamenting the fact that she hasn’t lost the minor amount of baby weight she was holding onto after having her twin boys, Bowie and Cy, in November, 2014. In April of this year she wrote that the weight gain from pregnancy was “a very challenging experience,” that “bouncing back feels impossible,” and that “it is slow, painful and frustrating. But it is worth it.”

Then, this September she said that “everything hurts and feels uncomfortable” compared to her pre-pregnancy body and that “I feel bad for those women who are desperate and want to bounce back three months after having a baby… I definitely took a break and trusted that my body was going to bounce back when it was ready. I never wanted to push myself.”

Well it’s been a year and Zoe can once again fit back into her Guardians of the Galaxy costume. She posted the following picture to Instagram, along with a bikini pic.

In the past two years I lost 50 lbs and got to my goal weight. I was able to lose it because I got my appendix out and that solved a lot of ongoing health issues I’d had. Plus I had the time and freedom – I work from home and have more time to exercise, and I figured out that if I count calories it’s a lot simpler than eliminating my favorite foods. (I used MyFitnessPal and a food scale. I do emotional eat but once I started counting everything it became easier to control.)

My point is that yes weight loss is achievable by us non-celebrities, and I definitely get the urge to share it and explain how you did it, but I don’t do this unless people ask and I would never presume to tell someone else that “if I can do it all moms can.” Weight loss has to be on people’s own schedule. Zoe knows this as it took her a year. Some women work 9 to 5 and then go home and have to make dinner, care for children, and clean the house. I’m not saying weight loss is impossible for anyone, it’s just that some have it much harder than others.

You would think that Zoe, who complained multiple times that it was tough for her to lose the weight from having twins, would not frame her weight loss this way. If Zoe would have posted that picture and just talked about it on her own terms that would have been fine. I just question why she addressed her post to all mothers, especially when she’s an incredibly privileged celebrity with so many advantages and resources.

On the other hand, maybe she’s talking like this because it was really hard for her and she’s trying to be encouraging. There are just shades of Maria Kang in that post.

“Finally, at long last, the end is near for ‘America’s Next Top Model’” links

The producers treat the girls like prison inmates during casting.

“Casting week involves days of interviews with producers, doctors (IQ, personality, mental/emotional health, blood work, etc) in a hotel,” Sara wrote. “You’re not allowed to talk to any of the other girls (which we did secretly) or leave your room without being ‘fetched’ by a handler.”

Sounds fun!

You can’t go home after you’re eliminated.

Although Tyra makes a big deal about sending an eliminated contestant “home,” Sara said that the model doesn’t actually get to fly home. Instead, they are shelved in a hotel.

“We’re housed in a separate location,” Sara said of the eliminated models. “Probably my favorite part of everything now that I think of it. The eliminated girls stay in a hotel until filming moves overseas and then they fly home.”

The models are cut off from the entire world while filming.

Much like the contestants that stay in the ‘Bachelor’ mansion, the models aren’t allowed access to anything that would give them a sense of what’s happening outside the “Tyra bubble.”

“No phones, TV, magazines, newspapers, or internet,” Sara wrote. “We got our phones back on the way to the airport to fly home.”

We don’t get to see most of the good stuff that goes on in the house.

“[I was surprised at] how little of what went on was shown,” Sara wrote. “I had to go to the ER the first night, gave a safe sex talk/condom demonstration to the girls, took showers with Monique, and had a wall almost fall on me and a camera guy. Never made it in an episode.”

Jennifer Lawrence whips out her ‘nitro’: ‘Cool Ranch Doritos are my girl’

Jennifer Lawrence’s cover interview for the November issue of Vanity Fair has given me whiplash. That’s the nature of this particular beast. Part of the discussion included JLaw’s reaction to her stolen photos. She nailed it with her furious yet measured message to the hackers and people who looked at her photos.

Then Vanity Fair started to release quotes from the main interview. JLaw dove into dangerous territory by claiming to “worship” Woody Allen. She bashed gluten-free diets. Some people saw this as Goop shade. Is JLaw really that calculating? I don’t think she thinks that far ahead when speaking. Words simply spill out of her mouth. She’s always been obsessed with junk food and carbs. But maybe JLaw unconsciously dropped some shade on the woman who is still married to her boyfriend. Hollywood Life says Goop thinks JLaw’s comments are “ignorant,” for what it’s worth.

Anyway. Vanity Fair has released a behind-the-scenes video of JLaw’s interview. They’re parceling this stuff out, as they should. JLaw is big business for mags. This video is interesting because Jennifer has gone fully “nitro.” I sense that she’s nervous about jumping into a grueling new press circuit. She’s very aware of the ongoing backlash that follows her. Most of the time, JLaw disappears in between tours. This time, we’re fresh off the Martin Lawrence gossip. She’s worried, and it shows in the video. Jennifer answers a series of questions, and she’s pretty spazzy. Yes, “pointless gossip” and junk food comes up:

What scares her? “Spiders. I’m very afraid of spiders. And ghosts. I wouldn’t say I’m as afraid of ghosts as I am paranoid of ghosts.”

Her junk food weakness: “Well, Cool Ranch Doritos are my girl. I’ve been trying to wean myself off of Cool Ranch Doritos and move onto Pirate’s Booty. It’s just not doing the trick … Cheez-Its.”

Is she tempted to use social media? “Nooo. Tempted? I have 112 unread emails right now. You know, I’m so not tempted to become more accessible. I don’t want anyone to talk to me, ever.”

Does she want to direct? “I’ve always wanted to produce because I remember reading these incredible scripts that would never see the light of day. Then I’d drive through Westwood and see some of the crap that was coming out, and I was like ‘What is going on with the world?’ So I’ve always wanted to produce, and Glass Castle being my first project was so perfect because I was so moved by that book.”

Who did she admire as a kid? “Destiny’s Child was my first CD. Uh, TLC. I met Jay Z and I was so embarrassed because you could see my knees bouncing up and down. He was like, ‘Are you okay?’ I was like, “Yeaahh. Huh huh. Bye. Aaaahah.’ They’re king and queen of America! Or of music. And then Brad and Angelina are the king and queen of movies. At least I think”

The last show she binge-watched: “Well, the Kardashians were just in Thailand so that was a pretty big deal. I’m catching up on all the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills … I’m trying to stay up to speed on all the pointless gossip that goes on in Hollywood. [Laughs.] I haven’t watched the news.”

[From Vanity Fair]

Jennifer seems a little vapid here, but you know I’d still eat pizza with her. She gets a lot of criticism for constantly talking about bodily functions and dreaming about cake, but I still like her. What I don’t get is the obsession with Cool Ranch. When I visualized the Doritos dust that ruined the American Hustle costumes, I was thinking of the Jacked Spice Street Taco flavor. Not something bland like Cool Ranch.

FYI: Nick Hoult spoke out about the stolen pics. He said, “It’s shocking that things like that happen in the world. It’s a shame.” Oh, and apparently JLaw & Nick will film a sex scene for X-Men: Apocalpse. That should be interesting if he’s really dating Kristen Stewart. JLaw, of course, is still with the king of elevator music.

Jennifer Lawrence will co-chair the Met Gala: good pick or hot mess?

Jennifer Lawrence

These are the new Miss Dior ads starring Jennifer Lawrence. They’re okay, but Dior always photoshops too much. Their ads often suck JLaw’s fresh originality right out of her. She looks like a mannequin. A pretty mannequin shilling purses.

Something more interesting: A bit of JLaw news beyond dating rumors. Jennifer has been announced as a co-chair of next year’s Met Gala. It seems like an unexpected choice, but I suspect the decision is tied to her Dior contract. This event could help Dior Chairman Bernard Arnault work another agenda. The design house has been pushing its luxury wares in China pretty hard lately. The theme of this Met Gala is “Chinese Whispers.”

The name of this event points towards potential awkwardness. Remember the game “Chinese Whispers” from childhood? (The term could be considered offensive by some.) You probably knew it as the broken-telephone game. You whisper a sentence into someone’s ears. They pass it on to the next person. And so on. The last person in the game utters a sentence completely different than the original. The game reveals mistakes in accumulated retellings, and now a fashion event will do the same. Huh. Here’s the announcement from Harper’s Bazaar UK:

The Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art has announced its latest exhibition: Chinese Whispers: Tales of the East in Art, Film and Fashion.

Set to open next spring, it will explore the influence of China on everything from fashion, costume, paintings, movies, films, opera and art, with work from creatives as diverse as film director Ang Lee and fashion designer John Galliano.

“The West’s interest in China seems to be intensifying, and China’s cultural influence on the West also seems to have reached new heights,” explained Costume Institute curator Andrew Bolton of the choice to stage this exhibition now. “The basic idea is the influence of Chinese aesthetics on designers, but I also wanted to convey how costumes and decorative arts crystallise centuries of cultural interchanges between the East and the West.”

The exhibition will be officially opened with the inaugural Met Ball next May, co-chaired by Jennifer Lawrence, Wendi Murdoch, Anna Wintour, Chinese actress Gong Li and Yahoo president and CEO Marissa Mayer.

[From Harper’s Bazaar UK]

On the bright side, Gong Li and Wendi Murdoch are also co-chairing for this theme (with further input from director Ang Lee). The event could flow well until red carpet arrivals when people (inevitably) interpret the theme wrong. Some attendees always ignore the theme, but you know someone (Katy Perry probably) will wear something racist. They’ll use the theme as an excuse. There will be fallout.

Oh, and we have an “update” on the Martin Lawrence relationship that makes me feel better about the awful John Mayer rumor. Yay! E! Online says Chris and JLaw visited the Chateau Marmont together on Thursday night: “It doesn’t seem like it’s a new relationship.” They were “super cute” (again). JLaw was acting so “gregarious and confident” that they “were the center of attention.” Seriously, they visited the Chateau and no one got a picture.
