Wally anon: Definitely the writers jumping through hoops to excuse a bad idea of separating 2 characters forever lolll.

And it would turn him on SO much to see you so eager to eat the cake (& his) after he got so messy fucking it. He would not be able to contain. himself watching you take bite after bite & would have to pull you somewhere private to positively leave you wrecked (& getting you to give him some of your own icing 😮‍💨). Oh, yeah, nothing suspicious at all. He just happens. to vanish during the celebration for a lengthy amount of time & comes back explaining that the cake got a little smashed in the box. But there was some extra special filling in the slice he gave you & he would not. be able to handle watching you eat it without popping a raging boner & having to cover himself (even though he just. finished inside the cake). 🫣 (a moist cake it is, then!)

Oh yeah, you'll have to show him all kinds of new positions that people weren't regularly thinking of in the 80s (& he absolutely does, he does not. get phones sfhfjd).

Ah, I see, I see. Would not have known about this otherwise (but there's some untapped potential in the concept of putting Milo on a motorcycle, so maybe they were onto something 👀).

He gives the best cuddles frfr & would be giving you the most comforting touches cause he knows your body so well.

You see (smell?) the vision, huh? 🤭

Yesss. It's gonna end up being like You when people started watching it like crazy when it hit Netflix & the audience will expand exponentially. 🙌🙌🙌 And the Ryan edits will for sure be rolling in now. Even though the screentime was limited, Milo made the most of it. 🫡

(Also yessss @ seeing you already finishing one of the fics. Very happy to see the ideas working out so well for you so far. 🥰 Will be devoting time to read later & giving you my thoughts. ❤️)

frfr it sucks

Totally agree, he maybe have finished in the cake but he’s gonna be back and ready to go for a second round after seeing you at that. (and yeah, eating his would also put him back into the mood. verse wally ftw sksjsksk) I could definitely see a little “payback” happening where you at his icing so it’s only fair to fill his cake up with it.🫣 He’s all like “yeah i picked that slice because it had the most icing, i know that’s your favorite part” yet just in his boxers he’s still got blue icing on his dick because the cake was team colors.

Phones and him do not mix, it’s crazy how much they wouldn’t. He’s good at picking up new things but I feel like anything past classic ipods is not in his realm of understanding sksjsk. Maybe you better print out the new positions, or find some magazines from his time that have pictures in them

Yeah he’s had small appearances on other shows and i’m such a fan (desperate for content) that I just watch them for him ayshsn. His role as Nick is probably his biggest “smaller” role (stuff with like mini episode arcs and such) he was on a few sitcoms too where he looked pretty good. I love his mini arc in like 2-3 episodes of the Connors where he played Josh and was mostly a (rich?) playboy who pretended to be an activist to win over girls. I think he made an appearance in the christmas episode of either The Connors or American Housewife and he looked soooo good. Okay, long explanation over. Milo riding a motorcycle is sooo good (and we know he’s good at riding) I wish he did more punk roles/edgy ones like Nico and Josh with the black hair and, in Josh’s case, had a piercing.

I can see him being lazy with it, like you two are cuddle and he may not be able to sleep but he gives the kind of vibes that he would just absolutely be sprawled out and all over the place when he’s asleep. But even if he’s kind of got one arm on your chest, pulling you close and the other in some weird position he finds “comfortable,” it’s still the best cuddling session ever🫣

Yup yup, drew me out like a cake coming fresh out of the oven… only he doesnt smell nearly as good (or does he)

I’ve seen more Ryan and Wally edits thanks to them becoming more accessible/going HD and I love it😮‍💨 he always steals the show even with five minutes of screentime

Awesome!! Uhhhh i definitely went with an easier one to start with because it had gotten a little late last night by the time i sat down to start one (9 pm😭) and so I was definitely a little tired while writing it so sorry if there’s any grammatical errors i didn’t catch!! gahhh im excited to hear your thoughts!! but also nervous skssksj

I rewatched season 5 of American Housewife and here’s my opinion as to why this is the most hated season:

it is the shortest season with only 13 episodes instead of the average 20 episodes

while Taylor was recast after the pilot and Meg Donnelly took over from season 1 episode 2 all the way until the finale, Giselle Eisenberg came in after Julia Butters played the role of Anna-Kat for 4 years without any type of transition other than in season 5 episode 1 Katie says “yeah, kids change”

I feel like J.T and Tammi were written to have the most similar even the exact same personality as Angela and Doris I also feel like there wasn’t enough time for the new second breakfast group to be as close as the original second breakfast group and it felt a lot more rushed for the second breakfast group to not only be formed but for their bond

The finale gave us closure with Greg and Cooper’s storylines but the rest of the storylines ended in a cliffhanger and they easily could’ve finished out the season

Also imagine if we saw Katie and Cooper cooking together

I really enjoyed american housewife 😭

It was funnier than i expected!

And i didn‘t even mind the new anna kat, she had a lot of scenes with franklin in the last season and i thought they worked really well together (even a little better than the old anna kat and franklin). The new breakfast crew was harder to get used to. (I still don’t like it that much, the old one had great chemistry)

I can’t believe i only have 3 episodes left 😭

Love and Death- Review

“This mystery is a whydunnit, not a whodunnit.”

Love and Death starring Elizabeth Olsen is a TV show that will have you on the edge of your seat, craving more with each episode. Keep your fingers safe because this nail-biting experience is just too easy to get lost in. This gripping and immersive series takes viewers on a thrilling journey into a real-life murder mystery, filled with twists, secrets, and the allure of small-town intrigue.

Set in the 1980s, the show follows the story of a shocking murder that rocks a close-knit community.

This is the story of Candace Lynn Montgomery, or Candy, an American housewife accused of murdering her lover's wife, Betty Gore (played by Lily Rabe) in Wylie, Texas, on June 13, 1980.

This is personally one of my favorite true crime cases. And the way this show tells the story, it's just absolutely fucking amazing!

Elizabeth Olsen, playing Candy, delivers a captivating performance as the complex and enigmatic protagonist, drawing viewers into the web of suspicion and suspicion that surrounds the crime. She holds audiences in a damn chokehold. That is how much control she has over her art. Her portrayal of Candy adds depth and authenticity to the already gripping narrative. You can’t deny how fucking amazing she is! She knows what she is doing.

Love and Death expertly balances the elements of a crime drama with a character-driven exploration of the human psyche. The writing is sharp and compelling, with each episode unraveling new layers of the story and raising intriguing questions. And the endings, whoo! Just the right cliffhangers!

As viewers are introduced to a cast of intriguing characters and tangled relationships, the show delves into themes of love, betrayal, and the lengths people will go to protect their secrets.

What sets Love and Death apart is its ability to recreate the atmosphere of a small town gripped by fear and suspicion. The set design and cinematography are just *chef’s kiss* perfect. They masterfully capture the nuances of the era, immersing viewers in the vibrant yet claustrophobic setting. The attention to detail in the production design and costumes adds authenticity and enhances the overall viewing experience.

In conclusion, Love and Death is a must-watch TV show for fans of gripping crime dramas and captivating performances. Elizabeth Olsen shines in her role, elevating the series to new heights. She is a great actress indeed. With its riveting storyline, well-drawn characters, and immersive setting, this show will keep you hooked until the very end. Get ready to embark on a journey of mystery and intrigue, as Love and Death unravels the dark secrets that lie beneath the surface of a seemingly idyllic town.

What I Watched in July

What didn't I watch this month?

I was going to do my usual thing of just listing off every, single movie I watched within the month. They're usually short of ten, which is good since I'm only able to upload ten pictures at a time on here. But I had a very, very long leave. 31 days exactly. I was bored out of my mind, broke so there's not much I can do, and a natural homebody anyway. I watched a total of 20 movies, and that's only counting new ones. I watched all eleven seasons of Modern Family and then circled back halfway. I watched The Bear, which was pretty good! I'm a sucker for corny sitcoms so I polished off American Housewife. Rewatched some episodes of iZombie. Rewatched a few comfort movies, and decided to go down the horrors of the 80's.

I had a rule and that rule was to watch as many new movies as I could. I'm so prone to sticking to my comfort zones in many sectors of my life. It's why I'm a home-body, it's why I have three good friends, and it's also why hitting failure in the gym's a challenge - my 10-12 reps of moderate weights that only begin to challenge me on the last three is enough.

Anyway!

My favorite era of horror is the 2000's for two good reasons. It gave us gems like Wrong Turn, Texas Chainsaw (2006), Triangle, The Ring, Shutter, Dead Silence, etc. There's a style in storylines, tropes, camera angles, and just general ambiance that bookmarks it as the 2000's. Final girls running through the woods in a classic white tank and blue daisy shorts; A roofless Jeep barreling down a detoured road with teenagers/YA; an entity terrifying a protagonist and the library scene of them researching connections to their harrowing situations. The second reason is, of course, nostalgia. Kind of hard to beat. I grew up on these movies. They're so comforting. I've managed to stick to mostly 2000's and 2010's movies, but I know there are gems I'm missing out on. Few I'm already acquainted with are Misery, Death Becomes Her, The Craft, the Scream franchise, the Sixth Sense, etc. However, these movies are only a few years to a decade shy of the 2000's, which obviously took its influence from its predecessors. But two generations away? The 80's seemed far fetched. I convinced myself that I wouldn't like it or maybe I was too used to other horrors to find the syrupy, gooey looking blood and corny jumpscares scary enough, much less enjoyable. Granted, I did watch Nightmare on Elm Street, Child's Play, and Halloween, but I was only afraid of Child's Play because I watched it as a literal child. Nightmare and Halloween I'd watched a lot older and I don't like them at all. They're actually overrated to me.

So that was the goal this month. Watch some old shit. And that I did.

1. Shrooms (2007, Paddy Breathnach)

A group of American teenagers head to Ireland to get high in the woods. With the help of a local tour guide, the group sets up camp for a trip of a lifetime. However, things take a turn when a deadly mushroom gives Tara the ability to see which of her friends will be killed off, as a mysterious murderer lurks close by.

I had to start with a new 2000's just to grease my way in.

This movie is not one to take seriously. It's a horror movie involving shrooms where there's a scene of a talking cow, so calm the think pieces on this one. It gives you a decent storyline and there are psychological aspects as one would guess, but nothing much different from any other YA slasher. It honestly requires nostalgia for me to love above a normal degree. Since I don't have that, it's a nice one and done watch. For some reason, though, I still bought the DVD. Maybe I'll watch it on my own trip.

One surprise is the hillbillies the teens run into that remind me of Tucker and Dale. They have absolutely nothing to do with the mess going on outside but are the easier targets to blame. Random, but it's so funny seeing hill billies outside of America. Growing up in another country where you watch all these American movies, you get these stereotypes in your head of what it all is. School lockers, Disney World, and Hillbillies in some state like West Virginia or Kentucky. Seeing an Aussie in the sticks is so funny to me.

The movie encompasses all that I like: dumb teens being killed off but in another country. Indigenous (2014), Hostel (2005), The Green Inferno (2013), As Above So Below (2014), and Turistas (2006) aren't shaking in their boots though. I for some reason don't want to talk about the ending. It's good. I just feel like this review is getting too long for how I really feel about this movie. A decent 5/10

2. Frankenhooker (1990, Frank Henenlotter)

After a horrific accident butchers his wife Elizabeth, a pseudo-scientist Jeffrey gauges up a plan to rebuild his wife and bring her back to life piece by piece.

I found this one on Amazon Prime....which I thought I unsubscribed from. Not that this connects, but they are currently being sued for a few class action lawsuits, one being making it difficult to unsubscribe from their membership. But anyway, I had Prime. While simultaneously going through my bank statements, I was checking out their horror options. The ones that were free were obscure. Frankenhooker was among them.

The accident that murdered his wife Elizabeth was a lawnmower that Jeffrey himself created. It ran her over and tore her to bits. Aside from her head, a hand, and some miscellaneous limbs, he didn't get much from his dearly departed before her other parts were cleaned up. He concocts a plan to revive her with the upcoming lightning storm that should help reanimate her back into one piece. Only, he needs parts. So he shops for hookers downtown.

I outright laughed with this movie because it's so ridiculous. The scene of the hookers blowing up was so campy. When you can see the split second they replaced the actress with a dummy, oh my god. So goofy, but I actually respected. When you can see the amount of time that went into something so silly, it's actually fun. Practical effects show effort. I was imagining them making head molds out of the actresses and spending hours getting them right just to blow them up. Or painting those limbs; a dislocated foot, an arm, an entire thigh. It was all so much. The burbling purple liquid...so odd.

I would watch this one drunk with a group of friends. It's just camp, that's all I can say. That scene of the reanimated left over body parts? The ending?! The ridiculousness of it all. 9/10. I don't care. I just skimmed the director's other works and I'm adding them all to my lift if they're even close to Frankenhooker. A fun watch.

3. Christine (1983, dir. John Carpenter)

17-year old, Arnie, buys and restores a rusty 1958 Nlumouyh Fury automobile. Unbeknownst to him, the car is possessed by a murderous entity.

I ain't even gon' hold you. I thought this movie would be stupid. In my head, it's only so thin the line can be to tread with a villain like this. A car....

But!

I was wrong. I am completely surprised by this and I understand why it is a classic. I even bought the DVD. We're officially in 80's territory, bordering on the 70's so the characters and their mannerisms were very uncanny valley for me but not too bad. This is my second John Carpenter movie alongside Halloween (1978). I've only watched The Fog (2005), but I've added 1980's to my list. I actually tried to start it but fell asleep and gave up. Not sure why, but anything other than Freaky Friday that has Jamie Lee Curtis as the final girl makes me sleepy.

I liked how there's no backstory as to why there's an entity in this car. From the day it was made, my girl Christine was killing. Didn't crawl out of hell and run into a conveyer belt, no Charles Lee Ray business; just made bad. She's regenerative, vengeful, and even jealous when Arnie, her new owner, gets a girlfriend. Arnie isn't the most popular guy in school and is constantly bullied, even with the help of his friend. Christine makes it her mission to rid Arnie of those who harm him. Later, she'll rid him of those who try to get between them. It was just such a good plot that was executed perfectly. I thought this was going to be some mess, but 10/10

4. Psycho II (1983, dir. Richard Franklin)

After the murders in his hotel, Norman Bates is back in town on a clean slate. He goes back to Bates Motel where mother awaits.

In Scream 4, Kirby Reed made a comment about Psycho II being underrated. It stuck in my head for a while until I finally decided to watch it. I can 100% agree. Listen I'll find any reason to hate on Alfred Hitchcock like I would any abusive, misogynistic director in Hollywood, but Psycho II is better than its predecessor. Anthony Perkins reprises his role two decades later as the movie follows the same time frame. Norman has been hospitalized, diagnosed with BPD, and is released 20 years later following the incidents. Not all are on board, especially a persistent Lila Crane, but Emma Spool vouches for him so that he can get a job at a diner. He meets Mary Loomis (with apparent relations to Billy Loomis) and a new set of killing starts.

Before I even start, there are two Tillys? I was casually stalking the actors and realized that the actress for Mary is Jennifer Tilly's sister, Meg Tilly. I couldn't believe how small a'world we live in. Now I have to watch Body Snatchers (1993) and anything else Meg is in.

I loved the plot twist of this movie and how it all ended. Norman is really an unwell character so you find yourself sympathizing with the man. He's awful, but you watch as this man fails to discern reality from his own madness and how mother is incorporated into it. She is a mysterious woman. We don't see much of her, sort of like The Woman in Black. She is this big entity in the movie even though you know she isn't real. This movie is the peak of mommy issues. The ending where a real, flesh and blood option is open to Norman to have a mother but he's only interested in the twisted, evil version that haunts his head is fantastic. 10/10

5. Psycho III (1986)

Bates Motel is still in business, and Norman is still free. He's fallen in love once more, this time to a fallen nun. But will his past be behind him, or will it all unravel in this third addition to the world of Norman Bates.

It only made sense to watch the third installment. You see more of the look of the 80's that it's so known for, especially slashers. This is where the infamous scene from Scream (1996) comes in when Billy Loomis says, "We all go a little mad sometimes."

The parts I liked were of course mother. She continues to be this looming, bigger than life figure tormenting those around Norman. I liked the slasher-like scene of the young partygoers dying at the hands of "mother." Maureen replaces Mary as a potential love interest as Norman provides her shelter in his motel. They fall in love, despite her knowing his past. The ice machine scene, the bathroom scene, even the showdown in room 12. Again, you really begin to feel sorry for Norman and the cards he was dealt. Not that a serial killing, mentally unwell white man needs it, but mother is really a prison of his own making. The scene of the cop sucking on that bloody ice cube turned by stomach more than my laxative pills ever could. 8/10

6. Psycho IV (1990)

Released again, Norman Bates calls in on a radio show to retell his life as a young boy. Much to everyone's horror, when the show ends he has one last murder to commit to end it all.

I'm conflicted with this movie.

It's not bad...but 90% unnecessary. Aside from the ending where he finally burns down the house where it all started, I kind of didn't like that we got to meet mother. I've watched and loved Bates Motel (2013), so I'm aware that Norman and Norma always have incest - more so on Norman's part than Norma. In Bates Motel, Norma was creeped out but ignored it or tried to gently transition from Norman's weird attachment. In Psych IV, Norma punishes him harshly. She's severely abusive, negligent, and just awful. She blames Norman for everything, including his existence.

While it's interesting to watch his origin story and how he came to be, I kind of liked not really meeting Norma. I liked her being a decayed, fried out corpse in a chair. I liked meeting her only through Norman's unreliable retelling and untreated borderline personality. She was an entity..smoke and mirrors. Now that I've met her...I wanna kiss her.

She's hot.

Why would they make her hot? Plus she was a hypocrite. She would shame and abuse these women for being whores and sluts while she paraded around in no panties with a man she wasn't betroth to. I always pictured her as this uber-anal, only-have-sex-to-reproduce, stiff, old hag. When you build up a character that's existence is reliant on a character's retelling or the audience to fill in the blanks, it's so easy to ruin them by making them flesh and blood.

I want to pretend this movie doesn't exist.

Aside from the disappointment in meeting my hero, I liked the movie. The ending was solid. It's hopeful...and opens the door for more movies for Norman's spawn. 6/10. I really liked the movie. It can't be 100% a stand alone but it'd be a 8/10 if it was. I'd watch it as one and pretend it didn't ruin three other movies for me.

7. Black Christmas (2006)

A murdering sociopath escapes prison and returns to his childhood home. However, he finds out that his house has been converted into a sorority house and begins killing the students living there.

The casting is amazing, for one. They pulled Lacey Chabert fresh off the set of Mean Girls. May Elizabeth Winstead had just wrapped up making history with Final Destination 3 (2006), lugging Crystal Lowe on set with her. Katie Cassidy had just finished getting slaughtered on When A Stranger Calls (2006). We practically grew up with Michelle Trachtenberg. It's like Do Revenge: drag the pop girls and boys from popular shows/movies and you'll have a cast people will be excited to see before even considering the plot.

Because this story sucked.

Maybe it's me. Maybe I'm the problem. This has everything I ever asked for in a 2000's movie. What else could I need? Am I ungrateful?

I have tried countless times to get into this movie. I'll cut the shit, like three times. And every time I have zoned out. I'm burnt out with this movie. It takes too much effort to be fully engaged and I don't know why. I love Sorority Row (2009), which has a similar premise, and Scream 2 with that sorority scene was amazing. I eat it up every time I watch it. Slashers with predominantly women casted is one of my bread and butters. But Black Xmas is just....I don't know. I don't know! I can't get into her. 3/10

8. The Thing (2011)

Kate Lloyed, a paleontologist, is recruited to Antartica by a team of scientists when they discover an alien buried in the ice. However, when the alien escapes, the team fights to figure out who they can trust as the alien could be any one of them, mimicking their dead crew.

This is such a good movie to watch when it's grey, raining, or ice cold. I love Mary Elizabeth Winstead and she is one of my favorite horror girls. Plus I get to see Kristofer Hivju, who I drooled over in Game of Thrones. This creature feature has a good creature reveal that doesn't completely ruin it. If anything, it enhances it. That one scene of the alien merging too people together and then crawling around on all fours was amazing. They don't make it an easy alien movie where you can pinpoint the creature. It can turn itself into one of the crew members, mimicking everything except inorganic materials like teeth. You get this claustrophobic feeling since there's limited places to run. They're stuck in the cold, unforgiving land of Antartica with a town miles away. The ending was a nice addition. I immediately bought the DVD and it is now added to my collection. It would've been better to watch the original John Carpenter movie, but this one popped up on my Netflix header and I immediately clicked on it. 9/10

9. The Slumber Party Massacre (1982)

When her parents go out of town, high school senior Trish decides to throw a slumber party. But things go downhill when an escaped killer wielding a power drill is loose in the neighborhood.

This movie seems derivative of Black Christmas (1974) and also came out the same year as the original The House on Sorority Row. Escaped convicts hacking up young girls were just on trend.

This one is kind of like Black Christmas (2006) for me. No matter how many times I watched it, it's like I never did. This is a rewatch, but not really because I didn't pay much attention the first time. It really brings nothing new for me. A movie doesn't necessarily need to be groundbreaking and fresh plot wise for me to like it, but it sure does need allure...some type of glue that keeps me watching. The Slumber Party Massacre didn't really have that for me. I watched it and immediately forget all that I just finished watching. As I watch these 80's movies, you really realize how nude obsessed this generation was. Pluto in Scorpio, sure, but these movies are just filled with boobs and bush, bush, bush. 5/10

LUCY & THE WRITERS!

The Wordsmiths of the Lucyverse

Whether Lucy was the writer, or one of the various characters in her universe, the creative output always made us laugh! Novelists, playwrights, screenwriters, journalists, composers, and columnists were all part of the Lucyverse.

"Liz Writes a Song” (1949)

Liz Cooper (Lucille Ball) is convinced that she is a musical talent, but when a music professor (Hans Conried) tells her she'll never be a singer, she decides to take up songwriting instead!

LIZ: “Carrie Jacobs Cooper writes again!”

Carrie Jacobs-Bond (1862-1946) was a songwriter who composed some 175 pieces of popular music from the 1890s through the early 1940s. She is perhaps best remembered for writing the parlor song "I Love You Truly", becoming the first woman to sell one million copies of a song.

“Lucy Writes a Play” (1952)

Lucy writes a play set in Cuba for Ricky to star in, but he refuses the part. She changes her play from Cuba to England and has Fred take Ricky's spot. Once Ricky learns a famous producer will be in the audience, he decides to surprise Lucy and appear in the play, but he has the wrong script.

Ricky sarcastically calls Lucy “Mrs. Shakespeare.” Her first play is titled “A Tree Grows in Havana” and the revised version is titled “The Perils of Pamela”.

“The Publicity Agent” (1952)

Peter Leeds plays the newspaper reporter who asks the Scheherazade, Maharincess of Franistan.

LEEDS: “Would Her Highness answer a few questions for the press?” LUCY: “Yes.” LEEDS: “Good. Your highness, is it true that Ricky Ricardo is your favorite vocalist?” LUCY: “Yes.” LEEDS: “Do you like any other American performers?” LUCY: “No.” LEEDS: “Now, let me see if I have this straight... You've never seen Ricky Ricardo in person, you first heard his records two years ago and you fell in love with his voice and decided to come to America to see him. Your father didn't approve, but you came anyway and you can hardly wait to hear him sing. Is that right?” LUCY: “Yes, no, yes, yes, yes, no and yes.” LEEDS: “I see. Now about the political situation in Franistan ---”

“The Operetta” (1952)

The Wednesday Afternoon Fine Arts League is putting on an operetta and Lucy decides to write the show herself! Needless to say, Ricky and the Mertzes are in the cast as well. The final script is “The Pleasant Peasant” by Ethel 'Romberg' and Lucy 'Friml' and starring 'John Charles' Ricardo. In reality, the songs were written by series composer Eliot Daniel, who wrote the show's theme song.

“Ricky Has Labor Pains” (1953)

To crash Ricky’s ‘daddy shower’ (aka stag party), Lucy and Ethel disguise themselves as Sam and Fred, reporters for the New York Herald Times Tribune, a mash-up of several real New York dailies.

“Lucy Writes a Novel” (1954)

Hearing that a housewife got $10,000 for writing a book, Lucy decides to become a novelist. Much to the chagrin of Ricky, Fred and Ethel, her subject will be a thinly disguised (and outrageously romanticized) version of her own life titled “Real Gone With The Wind”.

LUCY: “You'll get no more books from me, so go watch television!”

“Fan Magazine Interview” (1954)

Magazine journalist Eleanor Harris doing a feature story on the Ricardo marriage, at the same time that Ricky's agent concocts a publicity scheme inviting women on the Tropicana mailing list to a phony date.

Eleanor Harris (played by Joan Banks) was the name of a real magazine writer who wrote about Lucy and Desi as early as 1940. She also authored a book titled The Real Story of Lucille Ball published about the same time this episode was first aired.

“Ethel’s Hometown” (1955)

The last stop before Hollywood is Albuquerque, New Mexico, Ethel’s hometown, where she is given the star treatment instead of Ricky. Billy Hackett (Chick Chandler), editor of the Chronicle, is doing a story on Ethel Mae to herald her return on her way to Hollywood.

“Bullfight Dance” (1955)

Lucy is asked to write an article for Photoplay Magazine about what it’s like to be married to Ricky. Lucy keeps the contents of the article secret until she’s given a plum role in his latest show.

“The Hedda Hopper Story” (1955) / “Lucy Takes a Cruise to Havana” (1957)

Both episodes featured Elda Furry, a film actress who turned gossip columnist and renamed herself Hedda Hopper (1985-1966). She was the go-to source for what was going on in the personal and business relationships of Tinseltown.

She supported Lucy and Desi throughout their careers and they repaid them with these special appearance, as well as mentioning her name in several other episodes. Hopper was recognizable for her elaborate headgear.

“Homecoming” (1956)

Recently returned from Hollywood, Lucy is interviewed by gossip columnist Nancy Graham (played by Elvia Allman) about life as wife to a famous movie star (aka Ricky). The character is probably a tribute to Sheilah Graham, who was an English-born Hollywood journalist. Along with Louella Parsons and Hedda Hopper, Graham wielded sufficient power to make or break Hollywood careers – prompting her to to say that she was "the last of the unholy trio."

“Milton Berle Hides Out at the Ricardos” (1959)

Milton Berle appears here in the capacity of a published author, promoting his first (and only) novel, Earthquake written with John Roeburt.

Berle had previously written the joke books Laughingly Yours in 1938 and Out of My Trunk in 1948. He wrote his autobiography in 1974 with help from Haskel Frankel. His last book was a 1987 collection of sketches and reminiscences titled B.S. I Love You.

“Lucy Becomes a Reporter” (1963)

After just three days as the fill-in society reporter for the Danfield newspaper, Lucy’s job is hanging by a thread. The only thing that will save it is an interview with a press-shy financier visiting town.

Mr. Foley, the Tribune’s editor, refers to Lucy as Brenda Starr. Brenda Starr is the lead character in a comic strip about an adventurous female reporter. It debuted in 1940. Like Lucy, she had red hair. Lucy says that she was called ‘Clare Boothe Lucy’ in high school, a pun on Clare Boothe Luce (1903-87), who was a writer and journalist in her own right, in addition to being married to Henry Luce, a powerful publishing magnate in the magazine industry. Viv calls Lucy ‘Louella’ a reference to gossip columnist Louella Parsons. Lucy later invokes the name of Parsons’ chief rival, Hedda Hopper, another chronicler of Hollywood during the mid-twentieth century.

Critic’s Choice (1963)

Lucille Ball and Bob Hope play husband and wife theatre critics in the film based on the 1960 Broadway play of the same name written by Ira Levin.

“Lucy and the Soap Opera” (1966)

Curious to find out how “Camden Cove,” her favorite soap opera, will turn out, Lucy disguises herself in a number of outrageous get-ups to gain access to the show’s reclusive writer Peter Shannon (Jan Murray). When her efforts fail, she gets herself cast as an extra for a taping of the soap.

“Lucy and Eva Gabor” (1968)

The author of a controversial novel (Eva Gabor) is in town and needs a quiet place to work so Harry volunteers Lucy's home. Naturally, it is anything but peaceful and far from quiet.

Eva Von Graunitz (Gabor) is writing a follow-up novel to her successful “Valley of the Puppets”, a title that parodies Jacqueline Susann’s Valley of the Dolls (1966).

“Lucy the Co-Ed” (1970)

Harry's old flame Gloria (Marilyn Maxwell) is in town to help produce a musical for their college alumni. They resurrect a show Harry wrote in 1928 and cast Lucy, Kim, and Craig in supporting roles. It was written by Harry during his senior year there in 1928. Previous episodes have stated that Harry both performed and wrote shows while in college. The title of his musical is “It's Always Do-Wacka-Do at Bullwinkle U”!

“Tipsy Through the Tulips” (1972)

Lucy is in charge of keeping a mystery novelist (Foster Brooks) sober long enough to finish his next book. The book David Benton Miller dictates to Lucy is titled “The Killer Wore Wodden Shoes,” a murder mystery set in Holland.

“Lucy and the Professor” (1973)

Lucy thinks Kim is interested in one of her college professors. She mistakenly believes it is Professor Dietrich (Murray Matheson), author of the best-selling book Sex and the College Girl. It is actually her much younger music professor John Kleindorf (John Davidson).

“Lucy Goes on Her Last Blind Date” (1973)

Lucy dates eccentric Ben (Don Knotts) who is a prize-winning writer of verses for greeting cards!

Lamb to the Slaughter written by Roald Dahl, is a short story that is fascinating and famous, also has a contact in fact and has several different central themes like discussion on Criminology. Because of this, it’s enjoyable to read this short story and watch the derivative film and television works, episode 8 of the Alfred Hitchcock Presents in season 3. To compare the two contacts, I still prefer the short story performed of Lamb to the Slaughter, cause the original text better reflects feminism. The story that surprised me was the difference in the plot and ending handling compared to the Alfred Hitchcock Presents, the Alfred Hitchcock Presents make the story not that ironic with the new ending contact they added, also we can see the ambiguous plot handling in the original story, it attracted me a lot. It’s glad that I have the opportunity to learn about this short story that reflects the social status of women in the 1950s and incorporates irony to achieve surprising results. Although it takes some time to understand, it is a valuable learning experience for me.

Compare the different handling of dialogue in Alfred Hitchcock Presents episode 8 season 3, and the original text of Lamb to the Slaughter has brought me different reading experiences. “And he told her. It didn’t take long, four or five minutes at most, and she stayed very still through it all, watching him with a kind of dazed horror as he went further and further away from her with each word.” (Dahl 20) In the original text, we can see the husband of Mary Maloney told her to obfuscate, these blank lines expand the imagination and add a sense of mystery to the story, using a seemingly hollow descriptive technique to reflect Mary Maloney's fear, however, things in the Presents of Alfred Hitchcock is little bit change: “I do mean it and what's more I want a divorce but someone else I want to marry that is all there is to it I love her, and she loves me, now we've got to be sensible about it all calm and sensible I'll arrange for the divorce naturally.” (Lamb 04:08-04:31), in Alfred Hitchcock Presents, we can see this as a one-sided conversation when the husband of Mary Maloney tells her he wants to divorce. The National Association of Women Lawyers (“NAWL”) acted two decades before the no-fault divorce “revolution” in the 1950s when women were said to be both “domestic” and “quiescent.” This effectively fills in the logical relationship of the story through targeted and accurate dialogue, although this handling is also good, personally speaking, I prefer the original storyline handling.

In addition, compared to the original text, Alfred Hitchcock Presents has added some new plot elements, emphasizing the stereotypical influence of the 1950s on women. “Patrick you can't you can't go you can't you can't no Patricik won't let you I won't I won't I won't.” (Lamb 06:07-06:11) This quote shows the line added by Alfred Hitchcock Presents showcases Mary, a housewife who refuses to divorce and is hysterical. In the 1950s, women felt tremendous societal pressure to focus their aspirations on a wedding ring. The culture and media at the time were that a husband was far more important for a young woman than a college degree. The added lines only reflect the stereotypical influence on women but do not have a necessary driving effect on the plot. While I think this handling of the Alfred Hitchcock Presents is superb as well, I prefer the original plot management.

I think one of the great things about the original text of Lamb to the Slaughter is that it reflects in detail the social situation faced by American women in the 1950s when their marriages broke down. “On the other hand, what about the child? What were the laws about murderers with unborn children? Did they kill them both – mother and child? Or did they wait until the tenth month? What did they do?” (Dahl 33) This quote uses psychological descriptions to depict Mary's social status and concerns caused by the difficulties she faced, as well as to reflect the injustice in society at that time through her post-crime thinking. The impact data file on the mental health of American women in the 1950s shows that the number of non-family roles played by wives and mothers is positively correlated with self-esteem and overall life satisfaction, and negatively correlated with feelings of detachment from maternal roles. However, the Lamb to the Slaughter's original text is full of feminist details and a true description of the social situation of American women in the 1950s, which makes me prefer the original text in Alfred Hitchcock Presents and the original text

Anyways, compares the Alfred Hitchcock Presents episode 8 and the original text of Lamb to the Slaughter, highlighting the difference in plot and ending handling. The original text better reflects feminism and incorporates irony to achieve surprising results. The Alfred Hitchcock Presents has added new plot elements, emphasizing the stereotypical influence of the 1950s on women, such as the housewife Mary who refuses to divorce. However, the added lines do not have a necessary driving effect on the plot. I also appreciate the original text's detailed portrayal of the social situation faced by American women in the 1950s when their marriages broke down. The impact data file on the mental health of American women in the 1950s shows that the number of non-family roles played by wives and mothers was positively correlated with self-esteem and overall life satisfaction, and negatively correlated with feelings of detachment from maternal roles. Overall, I prefer the original text and Alfred Hitchcock Presents for its broader understanding of the social status of women in the 1950s.
