Is the house at the start of Coven "Bitchcraft" with Zoe Benson the same as Sally Keffler's house in Cult "Mid-Western Assassin"?

I just watched through cult for the first time and really enjoyed it. Now watching coven for the first time. First (reverse) easter egg I noticed was that these houses (the hallways in particular) seem to be the same. I'm referring to the scene in bitchcraft where zoe is leading her boyfriend down the hall, which seems to be the same hallway ivy checks and finds ally in after the cult kills sally.

Sorry if this is remarkably obvious or incorrect. I'm just a noob thinking I found something that I can't find anyone else having mentioned.

What if Disney had introduced Winx Club to the States?

I know Disney got into that whole lawsuit by trying to sue Iginio Straffi because it was similar to W.I.T.C.H. (and the Sirenix costumes that came later felt like a reference to them, personally), but what if they had chosen to collaborate and had Winx Club on Disney Channel instead of 4kids (which I love) or Nickelodeon?

While others may disagree, I don't think Disney would've made story and music changes to the series like 4kids did, and I think the network would've really helped to gather a large American audience for the show, and it may be a controversial idea, but I think that it would've made the show a lot better during it's revival and creating better seasons than Nickelodeon. (My personal opinion: season 4 was good, but reminded me of seasons 1 and 2 because of the plot and the villains' demise; the rest of the seasons onwards weren't interesting to me in terms of conflict, though I loved Bloomix.)

And then of course if they wanted to do a live-action show, it'd go to Disney+ and I think they'd handle it better than Netflix, but that's just my two cents.

And if we got a new cast of VAs, I'd love Jodi Benson (Bloom), Maria Canals-Barrera as Flora, Kari Wahlgren as Tecna (I love British Tecna; she'd do a great job), Cree Summer as Aisha (I'd also except Salli Saffioti), Andrea Baker as Stella, and Ming Na-Wen as Musa.* I have a few ideas for the speecialists, but nothing's set in stone.

(*Just wanna say that VAs should get the part regardless of race; I just wanted to diversify the options.)

Just finished a rewatch, thoughts on the later seasons

Overall, I enjoyed seasons 1-5 a lot more than 6-7. I was trying to figure out why and came up with these reasons:

Bob Benson plotline: I read here that the writers were planning a bigger story for him, but then the actor took another job. What would the plotline have been? His only appearance in 7 was one episode where he spoke with Joan about marriage, and bailed out a Chevy guy who was closeted like him. Maybe a bigger plotline that would have connected the seasons a bit more

Don's relationships/affair(s): I remember watching it live being so disappointed he was cheating again, he obviously didn't learn from his marriage with Betty, but at the same time was being more careful because it was only one affair rather than a general "any good looking woman around". Megan just became more and more confident and selfish. She also wasn't that French (no accent? She would have had an accent coming from Montreal). Diana's plotline also felt like it was missing something, like it was trying to capture the shame a woman has when abandoning a child, but not quite getting there. Stephanie was a better example... she did not have her child and seemed okay with it, other than people judging her for it.

Don's childhood: The whole storyline with Aimee and them moving to the whore house felt tacked on for extra effect. His step mother was so religious and she was going to move to a whorehouse? That just seemed unrealistic to me. And she slept with the "uncle mack" guy while pregnant? A few months or weeks after her shitty husband dies? I just don't see it. More likely she would have moved in with a relative. Seemed like they just wanted to double down on the Madonna whore complex for Don. I think a plotline of him and Abigail moving in with a relative, Uncle Mack being just a single guy nearby with no whorehouse would have been enough to show his shitty upbringing. He would have been put to work like a slave likely on a farm until he was old enough to join the military and run away.

Peggy/Stan: felt rushed, although I wouldn't want to see them out of a beginning stage as it likely wouldn't have worked. Compared to the Betty storyline, which felt fleshed out, had foreshadowing (Sally's friends mom dying, her saying goodbye to Glen). Stan slept with that photographer a few episodes earlier and cheated on his gf. Clearly no interest in Peggy then. The Peggy and Ted storyline also seemed unresolved. He comes back in season 7B and they just go back to work? Ted must hav

SERIOUS: This subreddit needs to understand what a "dad joke" really means.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Shadow of a Doubt (1943)

2022: Movie #4
Watched January 3rd
On the Criterion Channel IMDB
Director: Alfred Hitchcock
Writer: Thornton Wilder, Sally Benson, Alma Reville
TSPDT: 521

117 minutes. As I think more about this film after seeing it for the third or fourth time, I think what stands out to me is how Hitchcock is so intentional with the symmetry in Shadow Of a Doubt.

And, along with that, how important subconsciously establishing symmetry is to the payoff at the end. What I mean specifically is how many things in the film happen in twos. There are two detectives on the trail of a national killer, there are two suspects, there is a couple playing cards on the train, there are two Charlies, two kids in the family that are not Charlie, two parents, twice where Charlie Newton gets delayed by a copy, on and on.

The point is that Charlie and Charlie are very similar. They are out of place and they need to escape. They want more than the life they were born into. They understand each other. Everything is better when Uncle Charlie comes to visit. But, as the evidence mounts up against Uncle Charlie as being a key suspect in the Merry Widow manhunt, all of this work to set up symmetry and togetherness had me hooked and not wanting to see the potential separation that was coming between the Charlie’s. A little bit like the brothers in Dead Ringers (although not nearly as tragic), the Charlie’s are so close to being an inseparable pair.

But, the dark side of Charlie Newton is mostly just being cynical and bored, whereas it’s possible her beloved Uncle is capable of much more and is a monster.

I’m sure people will praise the dialog here, and I also loved the characters and world-building. But, I think for me the reason I love this film so much is because of how meticulous and planned the story elements are and how it all comes together to make the last act more powerful.

Hitchcock sighting: Near the beginning when Charlie is on the train and there’s a couple playing cards. His back is turned to the camera.

My rating of Mare Winningham’s characters on AHS.

Although never booked for a main role she always gave us interesting performances.

Alicia Spencer 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

Probably what was the most fucked up storyline in Coven was the incestuous relationship of Alicia Spencer with her son Kyle. The crack smoking, unkempt hippie mom was a sad human being who attempted suicide at one point, hadnβ€˜t Zoe Benson brought her son back. Noticing that Kyleβ€˜s body has changed Alicia became attracted to him. Although there were already signs prior before the event. One night she would kiss him and have allegedly sex with him after she touched his private parts. That TV moment felt absolutely wrong and had discussions heated up until this day. Mare did such a wonderful job in portraying this horrific character. It must have been difficult to get into the mind of such a sick and twisted person, but it has paid off as far as the role allowed it for her to be booked for more AHS seasons.

Rita Gayheart 🌟 🌟 🌟

Continuing her streak as unlikable and twisted characters Mare took on the role of Pepperβ€˜s sister. Rita loved her cocktails more than her baby which was deformed, but we have never actually seen the looks of it in that one Freak Show episode "Orphans". She and her husband had plans to murder their baby and frame it on innocent Pepper who would then end up at Briarcliff. It was such a sad story and Mare totally nailed the evil sister so well, that I wanted to jump into the TV each time I saw Rita framing Pepper for the death of the baby.

Hazel Evers 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

For once a very lovely character Mare portrayed here, Ms. Evers was the diligent house maid and good soul of the Hotel Cortez. Seeing her getting a kick out of cleaning bloody sheets was always joyous to see. It basically put a smile on my face between all the killings and the drama. The parallel to Coven is, that Mareβ€˜s character had feelings for Evan Petersβ€˜, though in this season they were not related to each other thankfully. However her love for him remained unrequited, but even she found her peace towards the end by simply not serving him anymore and then she finally felt free. Ms. Evers was such a great addition to Hotel and the perfect lighthearted match to the charming and sinister James March. And Mareβ€˜s acting credits are already filled with roles of housekeepers and funny sidekicks that it was no problem for her to get into character.

Sally Keffler 🌟 🌟 🌟

As the politician Sally who would battle Kai Anderson for councilmanship Mare showed us an

Azur Lane: Coming Storm-chapter 2

Hey I’m back with a brand new chapter, I advise you to read the author’s note first and before I forget here is think to the story on fanfic: https://m.fanfiction.net/s/13973223/2/Azur-Lane-Coming-Storm? Hope you all enjoy 😊.

AN: Hey guys. If anyone is wondering, the reason why I am reposting this is because after posting it the first time and reading some of the reviews I came to the realization that the second half of this chapter was disconnect tonally and didn't feel right or authentic to the story, and for that I am sorry. As a writer, it is my responsibility to deliver a competent and believable story for you all as readers. So after taking some time to gather my thoughts and having a moment to rest, I have rewritten and expanded the second half of this chapter into something that I feel is closer to the standard of writing that I set for myself and that all of you deserve. So, once again I invite you to enjoy this story to fullest in the way it was meant to be written. P.S. any and all comments are welcome.

Chapter 2

Thomas pushed open the front door and walked inside his house.

"I'm home!" he yelled out, even though he knew that no one would respond.

His parents were out of town, having to take his little sister Sally to her dance competition in Washington D.C. Whether her team won or not, they were probably not coming to be back till next week. Thomas was tired, dealing with Anthony and Maria on the field trip had burned most of his energy for the day. Luckily, today was Friday, so he had the whole weekend to recuperate from the trip.

The rest of his day was pretty boring. He finished any chores that he had to do around the house. He finished his homework and cooked himself some lasagna for dinner. After that, he took a much needed shower and then played some video games until it was finally time to go to bed. As he lay down for the night, he thought about his weird interaction with the cube. Maybe it was a slight difference in his bio chemistry that made it glow brighter, but he couldn't really know. He thought it was interesting and that was fine by him, and he kept thinking that way as he drifted off to sleep.

The Next Day

Ring ring ring …ring ring ring …ring ring 'click'

Thomas's hand finally found the button on his phone to stop his morning alarm before it drove him to insanity. He sat up in bed and looked at his phone. It read 7:15 am. He sighed. He wanted to go back to bed, but knew he had to keep the house in order. So, he got up

I was almost upset that my coffee tasted like dirt today

but then I remembered it was ground this morning.

Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale

Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
