Robin is hands down one of my favorite characters, her aura is elegant, regal and calm while also being mysterious and threatening.
I took a lot of time to really think about which actress would be the best fit, in my opinion, the conclusion I came to, is Kat Graham, she has shown a lot of range in her decade+ long career,
as a fan of robin and Kat’s work, I noticed there are a lot of similarities between Kat’s previous work and the character Nico Robin,
for example Latin influence language for their magical powers are one of them Sacrificing them selves for their friends well being is another,
I believe Kat has the experience range and talent to give a realistic portrayal of Nico Robin.
also her light eyes, dark hair, and skin shade really resemble Robin’s likeness when she is first introduced to us in the original series
P.S. Also I think it’s really cool that Oda said Robin is Russian and while researching Kat to to formulate my opinion, I unexpectedly found that she comes from a Russian background as well.
“Kat was born in Geneva, Switzerland and raised in Los Angeles, California. Her father, Joseph, is of Liberian descent, and her mother, Natasha, is Jewish, her family coming from Poland and Russia.” - google

We know the good people at Hallmark like to drop in a favorite actor or actress for a cameo in their movies. I thought we'd have some fun with some ideas. My overarching thought might be cameos where the actoactress plays against type. A common trope which might be perfect for said cameo might be the "Speed dating" scene. I like the idea of Dylan Neal or Paul Campbell being completely befuddled by the female lead and is quite awkward and can't say anything which makes any sense. Another one for the "Speed dating" scene might be Rachel Boston playing a non-smiling, goth lady. Yeah, that would be funny. Maybe someone a bit younger. Yeah, Rhiannon Fish playing the non-smiling goth lady. That would be hilarious.
It could be a bit sexy even. Or a sly eye to a different movie or role? Is that Jesse Metcalfe over there sawing wood shirtless? That would be a popular cameo. Hmm. Is that Hunter King coming out of the pool and distracting Andrew Walker on the way to his first date with Kimberley Sustad? Is that Marilu Henner driving the rideshare? So what ideas do you all have for fun cameos?

Everyone in town is meeting at the saloon to listen to Lucas' radio "Easter Address." Rosemary suggests hypnotizing Lucas to see if he remembers who shot him, but Mei comments that hypnosis is unreliable. Lucas starts his address, announcing that Easter is a time for new beginnings (Elizabeth sneaks a quick look at Nathan, who glances back), the building of 1,000 new homes and apartments in Cape Fullerton, and that they are accepting bids to build a big resort in Hope Valley. Everyone claps enthusiastically. He finishes the address (must be the shortest address of any governor anywhere) announcing a new tradition: the Annual Easter Egg Hunt. More clapping.
As Elizabeth, Rosemary and Lee congratulate Lucas, Bill wanders over to Nathan and observes that Lucas and Elizabeth are being "very adult" about "things" (well, they are in the 30s, what do you expect?). Nathan's response, as he watches Elizabeth and Lucas talking, is a tight "I see that." Bill comments that things would be easier for Nathan if Lucas stayed in Capital City, but Nathan shrugs it off, saying, "It doesn't make any difference to me" -- while watching Elizabeth like a hawk. Elizabeth turns and smiles at him casually, and he puts a smile on his face, but then she turns away.
Afterwards, Nathan and Elizabeth are discussing the Easter Egg hunt -- apparently Lucas had some grandiose ideas, including having Edwin dress up as the Easter Bunny, but she had talked Lucas out of it. Nathan playfully chides her, "Oh, you're no fun!" to which Elizabeth protests that she is "lots of fun!" but that it's her job to remind Lucas to "keep things simple" (her job? Thought she was a teacher . . .) Nathan calls her out on it -- "So, he gave you an actual job?". to which Elizabeth responds, "Well, self-appointed . . . " Nathan thanks her for taking on the project, but observes she's going the wrong way to school. She's tells him that she's stopping by to pick up Little Jack from daycare so he can go dye Easter Eggs with the class -- Little Jack has expressed a wish to go to school, and reminds his mom that he will be starting school next year. Nathan offers to help with the hunt, and Elizabeth allows as how 'that would be nice . . . " but apparently can't think of anything else to say, except a weird, awkward laugh, and she hurries off.
Lucas is trying to round up a delegation to go talk to the mayor of Benson Hills about the land that was sold for the resort. He asks Bill to go, as acting mayor, but he refuses, but them remembers that Mike is the actual mayor. Mike refuses, because it appears that his overbearing sister, Maisie, is the mayor of Benson Hills and, as he readily admits to Lucas' teasing that he's afraid of her: "Yes! Yes, I am!" But in the end, Mike agrees to go with Lee riding shotgun.
At school, Elizabeth has to leave Jack for a moment to referee a squabble. Afterwards, Jack said he liked school, but it seemed like she was everyone's mom. Elizabeth reassures her that she may be everyone's teacher, but she is only his mother. Faith and Lily going them on their way back to daycare, and Faith tells Elizabeth she's never had so much fun.
Rosemary and Bill mull over evidence from the shooting, and notice the purported shooter's fingerprints only appear in one small spot of the gun. Their theory is that the shooter was framed --or is taking the fall for someone.
A woman (Juliette) pulls up in front of the saloon in a very expensive car and steps out. Bill is there, and scolds her tat she can't park there. She replies that she's a friend of the owner, so surely it will be ok. Lee corrects her that Lee is now the owner, but she dismisses his scolding with an airy "Well, I am behind the times, aren't I?' and sweeps past Bill into the salon, leaving him speechless. He follows her, trying to coax more information about her, but she easily avoids his questioning. Mike checks her in. and mispronounces her last name, and she corrects him: "Jeannette Aucoin". Bill remembers that he's heard the name -- "the Old widow Aucoin? Lucas' friend?" Jeannette smiles archly and say, "Well, I'm not sure I'd use those words!" At that point, Lucas walks up, incredulous: "Jeannette?" and invites her into his office, leaving Lee, Bill and Mike staring after her in fascination.
Lucas comments, accusingly, that she didn't tell him that she was coming, and she murmured "It was a surprise,", to which he disagrees, saying the only surprises he likes are the ones that he does. At first she tells him that she was expecting an invitation to his wedding with the 'cute schoolteacher" that was in the papers. but never received one . . . "Oh, oops, it was called off!" she adds coyly. He mutters that she should keep Elizabeth's name out of "this” We learn that she had been an information for the The Treasury (whatever that means), but she swears she’s gone straight, and is representing some investors in Cape Fullerton who want to bid for the resort. He tries to get her to leave, but she refuses, showing him her hotel key.
Elizabeth stops by the saloon to discuss Lucas’ insistence on providing chocolate bunny candy to the children at the Easter egg hunt. She sees Mike and asks if Lucas is available. Over he shoulder, Mike sees Lucas and Jeannette coming out of the office. Lucas sees Elizabeth and gives Mike a slight shake of the head, and Mike proceeds to distract Elizabeth with awkward observations about chocolate and what it has to do with Easter. Puzzled, Elizabeth agrees, but then begins to turn towards Lucas’ office. Manfully, Mike throws himself into the task of distracting her, as Lucas arranges for Jeannette’s luggage to be carried to her room and watches her ascend the stairs. As Elizabeth begins to leave, Lucas calls her name, and they begin to discuss chocolate bunnies, as he reassures her that he has already ordered the candies. Elizabeth objects to the large bunnies, and suggests that the children will be just fine with smaller bunnies. With anxious glances over his shoulder, Lucas agrees to change the order. Elizabeth asks him why he is looking so nervous, as Mike looks on (obviously curious as to Lucas’ answer!) and Lucas replies that he’s just very busy (eyes darting back and forth.) Elizabeth doesn’t press it, and bids him goodbye, telling him that she’ll see him at the egg hunt. As she leaves, Mike asks Lucas “Who WAS that . . .?” but Lucas cuts him off and tells him to tell anyone else that he is “unavailable.”
Minnie gives Joseph a sandwich for lunch, as they joke that the Bible class he is teaching has a lot of arguments. Angela observes that “Mrs Thornton said that every argument can be settled when people listen,” which Joseph readily agrees to, and then Cooper asks “Have you ever listened to your brother?” to which Joseph responds that Jacob doesn’t speak to him.
Mike and Lee are waiting for Maisie to arrive, as Lee remarks that Mike seems nervous. Maisi is escorted in by Edwin, and immediately launches into Mike, telling him “How many times have I told you that blue simply washes you out?” Mike laughs nervously and said, “Oh, about 150 million!” as he quickly embraces her. She looks over his shoulder and spots Lee, who introduces himself. She raises an eyebrow at Mike and says “Afraid to take me on by yourself, Michael?” Seated around a table, Maisie declares that the access road is on the Benson Hills side, “of course” and Mike says, “So, you’ll get ALL the tourists?” “Of course!’ she responds matter-of-factly. Mike says she can’t just declare it – the meeting is meant to be a negotiation, and suggests that they build two roads. Maisie declares that “This is NON-negotiable.” Mike is deflated, and Lee, listening to the back-and-forth, suggests coming back to the roads, and talk about the resort. “The resort will be known as the Benson Hills Resort,” Maisie declares with finality. Mike and Lee protest, pointing out that the resort is on Hope Valley land. Maisie says that they can’t possibly expect her to agree to her naming of the resort, and she says that she thinks the meeting is a complete waste of her time. Lee implores Mike “she’s your sister, YOU deal with her!’ but Mike sits back and says, “Oh, she’s going easy on us.” Maisie points out that the meeting is a waste of time because no one is considering the downside of the resort. Lee asks her what the downside is, and she responds “Who’s to say that this won’t become a magnet for undesirables? And rum-runners?” All three men snort in disbelief, as Edwin declares “This resort is for families!” Maisie points that that another nearby resort promised the same thing, “and look what happened there! A decent person can’t walk down the street in safety anymore!” She demands to know what guarantees they can offer that it won’t happen here. All three men look at each other, but no one can respond. Edwin suggests taking a break for the evening. “Or the week,” mutters Mike. “Or the year!” declares Lee, glaring at Maisie.
Cooper is writing a letter to their Uncle Jacob with Allie. Angela observes that Uncle Jacob probably doesn’t even know who they are, but Cooper says he is writing it pretending to be Joseph. Allie declares that her dad would be so mad if she did that, and Angela agrees,, but Cooper observes, “What the worst that can happen? They aren’t talking to each other anyway.” Allie warns him that his dad might stop talking to him.
That evening, as he is rubbing her feet, Lee tells Rosemary that Jeannette has arrived at the saloon. Rosemary doesn’t quite remember, and he reminds her of when Elizabeth was held hostage by Amos at the saloon – Jeannette had called Lucas to warn him about Amos. “She’s an old widow that Lucas helped out of a jam, isn’t she?” Lee rolls his eyes and tells Rosemary that Jeannette is anything but a helpless old lady. “She could be a screen siren!’ he says, to which Rosemary declares indignantly that SHE is the local”screen siren.” Lee hastily explains that Jeannette could be an actress, but Rosemary would always be the leading lady. Rosemary scoffs, but is pleased by the comparison. She observes that Lucas has not been entirely honest about his background – and she needs to talk to Elizabeth immediately! Lee reminds her that it’s the middle of the night and she’s wearing her nightgown. “What has that ever stopped me?” she asks, but he notes that Elizabeth is probably asleep and Little Jack certainly is. Rosemary relents.
Maisie stops by the pharmacy and is greeted by Mei. She orders an ice cream, and Mei is making conversation asking if Maisie is in town for the egg hunt. Maisie observes that Mei obviously knows all of the town folk if she can spot a stranger that quickly and complements her. Mike walks in, sees Maisie, and demands to know what she is doing there. Mei, confused, tells him “This is a customer!’ “No, she’s not!” he retorts, and Maisie introduces herself to Mei, who suddenly understands Mike’s abruptness. Mike puts two and two together and realizes that his mother has asked Maisie to check out Mike’s new girlfriend while she’s in town. Mei is rather pleased that Mike has told his mother about her. As Michael grasps her hand, Maisie tells Mike that he really should take Mei to meet their mother.
Nathan is helping Elizabeth hide Easter eggs. She says that she was good at hunting Easter eggs, but always shared (I wonder if her sisters remember it the same way . . . ) Nathan hides an egg high up in a trellis, and Elizabeth protests that it is too high for the little ones. Nathan things about it for a moment, then looks at Elizabeth and declares, “I think if someone wants something badly enough, they will find a way to get it.” (ooooh, double-entendre time . . . ). Elizabeth thinks about it for a moment, then replies, “What if there’s a chance they could get hurt?” (more double entendres . . . ) Nathan, matter-of-factly, answers her with “Well, I guess they just have to decide if it’s worth it or not.” Elizabeth avoids answering, and states “Well, a chocolate egg definitely isn’t worth it!” as she reaches for an empty bucket to stand on to retrieve the egg. In a completely silly and obvious-from-a- mile-away-maneuver, she reaches for the egg as Nathan warns her to be careful, and then slips off the bucket into his arms. Close embrace, wide eyes – and then they hear Allie calling and break away, flustered. Allie sees them standing close together, awkwardly, and asks when the egg hunt will start. “Soon!” they both assure her, as she gives them A Look and walks away. Elizabeth walks away, too, but Nathan replaces the egg high in the trellis.
Jeannette greets Lucas, who is reading the Valley Voice at breakfast, with a cheerful “Allo, cherie!” He suggests she should leave, but she refuses. He’s not interested in her investors. She protests that the are legitimate, but he insists that the hotel will be aboveboard, and that he’s changed – he’s not like her. “I’ve told you – I’ve changed, too” she says, leaning across the table just as Rosemary bustles into the saloon and to Lucas’ dismay, introduces herself to Jeannette, telling her that she’s become “quite the local legend around here!” “Have I?” Jeannette drawls. “What on earth have you been telling people about me?” she asks Lucas, who denies saying anything and tries to shoo Rosemary away. Rosemary stands her ground, stares at Jeannette, then turns to Lucas, asking, “You haven’t seen . . Elizabeth . . have you?” Jeannette is fascinated. “No, I have not,” responds Lucas politely, as Rosemary leaves. “Elizabeth? She’s the schoolteacher, isn’t she? Your erstwhile fiancee’? Jeannette observes. Lucas tells her that’s none of her concern, and that she should submit a bid, if she must, and then she can be on her way.
Rosemary hurries to tell Elizabeth that Jeannette Aucoin is in town to visit Lucas, but is cut short when children begin arriving for the Easter egg hunt. Lucas comes out to officially start the egg hunt, and as the kids scurry away, Elizabeth asks him if there is anything she should know about. Lucas tells her, “No, I don’t think so,” and keeps moving.
Mike is in the pharmacy, apologizing for his sister spying on Mei, but Mei tells him that she is flattered. Mike tells her that Maisie really likes her, but she makes him feel incompetent. Mei takes his coat lapels and tells him, firmly, that he is brilliant, capable and handsome – and they finally get their kiss.
Nathan is helping Little Jack hunt for eggs, as Elizabeth watches from afar. Picture perfect Hallmark moment.
Lucas is accompanying Jeannette out of the saloon, given her a receipt for her bid, ,and will let her know as soon as her investors pass a background check. She looks at him reproachfully and tells him that she still cares, “I am no longer living that life. Thank you for your bid, Miss Aucoin,” as he pointedly opens her car door for her. Silently, she glares at him, gets in and drives away – but stops in the middle of the street when she spies Elizabeth. She gets out and approaches Elizabeth, but Lucas can’t get to her quickly enough to stop her from introducing herself to a surprised Elizabeth. “We have something in common – you see, I was once engaged to Lucas Bouchard, too.” Elizabeth just smiles and says it is nice to meet her as she quickly looks at Lucas, who seems to be living a nightmare. Jeannette casually walks up to him and tells him goodbye, leaving forward to kiss him as he hastily turns his head away. Jeannette hops back in the car to leave, and Elizabeth, with a half-smile on her face, turns to Lucas. “Poor widow Jennette?” she asks with a grin. Nathan and Allie come around the corner just in time to see them in conversation as Elizabeth continues to question Lucas: “This is why you’ve been acting so strange? You didn’t want us to meet?” The children are returning from the hunt and are surrounding them as they talk. Lucas declares the hunt over
Rosemary and Elizabeth walk together after the egg hunt, and Rosemary observes that Elizabeth is taking “it” very well. Elizabeth wonders why Lucas never told her the truth about Jeannette, and Rosemary tells her it’s because he had her on a pedestal and didn’t want her to think badly of him. Elizabeth retorts that she doesn’t want to be on a pedestal, she likes her feet firmly on the ground. Rosemary asks if she isn’t glad to know about Jeannette, so she doesn’t have to worry about having broken Lucas’ heart. “His heart is a lot more resilient than that!’ Elizabeth declares.
Elizabeth comes down the stairs gingerly, listening to make sure Little Jack is asleep. She breathes a sigh of relief, but there a knock at the door: Nathan. He offers her the chocolate egg he hid, and told her that she was right, it was too hard for the kids to find, so he brought it to her, who had risked life and limb for it. She takes the egg gingerly, giggling, and their hands brush together. Holding the egg, she looks at him and tells him, “I guess sometimes the chocolate egg is worth the risk.” Nathan then brings up Jeannette, and Elizabeth admits that she was a little shocked. Nathan said he felt a little bad for Lucas “being caught out like that in front of everybody.” Suddenly Little Jack calls “Mama!” and the conversation stops as Elizabeth returns inside.
Back at the saloon, Lucas is reviewing Jeannette’s bid, and finds a picture of the two of them that she has slipped into the file. He sighs.

Managed to find a blu ray copy of this! Very difficult to track down and watch, but I suggest giving it a go if you ever get the chance.

I finally finished Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure! I’m so happy my brother made me watch this lol, I don’t really enjoy anime much except for like 2 of them, so I wanted to share my thoughts on each of the parts! (I might forget to mention some derails but these are the things that stood out to me the most)

 Part 1: (dub) 

• This was definitely my least favorite, so much happened at the beginning but, despite being the shortest part of the series, it felt like watching the rest took years off my life.
• I enjoyed Dio as a villain but if he wasn’t on screen, things were not that interesting for the most part
• As much as I love Speedwagon but his CONSTANT YAPPING was so damn annoying, he was just explaining every small detail for NO REASON! But I loved his introduction just because it was so bad and funny
• Johnathan was a pretty good protagonist but nothing too special, I feel like I saw characters like him before, yk?
• Didn’t feel too sad when he died lol
• I loveee Erina tho, she’s just so sweet
• William Zeppeli was a weird character… also forgettable
• This whole part I realized I forgot a lot of details from it and honestly? I don’t care to look it up..
  

   Part 2: (dub) 

• Introduction for Joseph was great, I had VERY low expectations from part 1 but he was just perfect, I loved his care for Speedwagon and Erina too
  
• Joseph is definitely my favorite Jojo
  
• I didn’t like Caesar at first but he grew on me
  
• The introduction to the Pillar Men was the best villain introduction in the whole series, their theme lives in my mind rent free
  
• Caesar death made me actually tear up to my surprise, I genuinely thought the episodes would show his backstory and then him winning a fight but I guess not…
  
• Every fight between Joseph and each of the Pillar Men was very interesting, I was always excited to see what else Joseph can do to get out of these problems, like how in the fight with Esidisi, both of them can predict the other’s actions and attacks but instead of giving up Joseph still outdoes Esidisi and works around that
  
• The last fight with Wamu and Joseph was sooo great, I admired Wamu’s determination when fighting especially when he decided to just get rid of both his eyes just to focus better, now that’s some dedication 💀 I again was surprised by how Joseph found his way out of near death experiences, wether by luck or his genius mind.
  
• And then there was the fight with Kars, this one is my favorite because seeing Kars turn into the ultimate life form was both horrifying and amazing, Araki didn’t have to draw him to look so damn fine 😩
  
• This last fight made me love Joseph like a 1000 times more because of course he can outsmart the ultimate life form and only lose a hand, I genuinely thought this was it for him and that he was going to die but I guess nothing can beat THE Joseph Joestar!
  
• I thought Lisa Lisa was gonna die but it was great to know Joseph would have time to spend with his mother
  
• I never thought I would ever sympathize with a nazi 💀
  

   Part 3: (dub) 

• The first episode’s shot of Jotaro calling his mother a bitch was so funny it was one of the main reasons I wanted to watch the show lol, but later when I realized that he is such a shitty son I hated Jotaro very early on and at that point he was the least interesting and worst Jojo in my opinion but later on seeing his care for his mother and grandma made me tear up, I still don’t like the harsh behavior he has but he’s also only 17 and facing all this bizarre shit in his life so I kind of understood by the end and definitely loved him and his one liners lol.
  
• I was just very happy to see Joseph again (racist moments aside-) and it was so cute to see him and Holy together!
  
• Even tho I was already used to seeing Hamon in the first two parts I was happy with the change, I just liked the concept of Stands the more they were explained, even tho one of the first Stands was Magician’s Red which is definitely not bad but the design was so… weird? Idk I just don’t see why the chicken head 💀
  
• Something I didn’t realize many people dislike about this series was the villain of the week style in the first part but for me that made me love it even more, I liked to see the main characters’ powers pushed to their limit to see all they’ve got come out in fight, I don’t think I dislike any of the minor villains in part 3 EXCEPT for Wheel of Fortune, Sethan, and High Priestess.
  
• I would like to add that my fav minor villains of this part are Death 13, Vanilla Ice, D’arby the Gambler and Anubis
  
• Kakyoin: I liked his introduction even tho I was confused later on how he can posses people and harm someone from far away like with the painting he did of Jotaro, but he has a cool stand. I don’t really have much to say about Kakyoin tbh because to me he didn’t stand out much to me until the end, I feel like his backstory should’ve been told when he was recovering in the Joestar’s house. Also his absence because of his injured eyes later on just made his character even more forgettable for me. Didn’t really cry when he died but it was still so damn sad and to know he used his last moments to guide his friends to defeat Dio is what made me almost tear up.
  
• Avdol: I loved his character since his introduction, since the beginning it was obvious he was the wise and most knowledgeable one of the group, when he “died” during the trip to Egypt it felt like it was stupid to kill such an important character and it felt like the group just wouldn’t survive for long without him and when he came back I was just as shocked as Polnareff lol, then there was his actual death later for once again protecting his friend and this one when I realized there was no coming back from this, this scene really ruined my week-
  
• Polnareff: saving THE BEST! For the last because Jean Pierre Polnareff is the best Jojo character and I take no other opinions on this, his introduction as a villain was so good and I lovedddd the fight with Avdol, them showing off their powers in this fight made it one of my favs of the first half of the part, then seeing his sweet and funny personality just made me love him even more, his motivation to go with the group to avenge his sister made me root for him most. I liked that he was still a flawed character with his arrogance, pride and wanting to take on fights on his own not being aware that the threat he’s facing can and will beat him in a fight alone. Even tho I don’t like plot points like that, but Avdol’s “death” definitely made him reflect more on his actions and choices and I think his reaction and Kakyoin’s was what made this scene make me cry so much, when a character dies I need to feel like there was an impact on the characters or I just wouldn’t be moved by it. Him almost dying during the Vanilla Ice fight was one of the most stressful moments of my life lol, this fight was definitely one of my favs of the whole series!
  
• I didn’t like that at the end defeating Dio only relied on Jotaro happening to have the same stand type as Dio?? But it was still cool to suddenly see Jotaro move during Dio’s time stop
  
• This part was by far my favorite at that point and I don’t think I’ll forget this amazing experience of watching it ✨
  
• (No, I am not mentioning Iggy, I couldn’t have cared less for him)
  

   Part 4: (dub) 

• This one was really… something 😟
  
• First shock: JOTARO’S FACE??? LOOK HOW THEY MASSACRED MY BOY!!!
  
• I knew the art style would change but wtf man why is Jotaro’s face so… smooth? 😭
  
• I did enjoy the new art style and it fit with the vibe too so it’s okay, I try to forget JOTARO’S change…
  
• Josuke’s introduction was really cool and showed his personality very well, if only this part was about Josuke it would’ve been more enjoyable 🙄
  
• I went into this part with very high expectations and was disappointed in almost every way :( I was soooo excited for this part because I already knew Josuke before even knowing the anime’s name or anything about it so I was kinda familiar with the character but he felt like anything but a protagonist, like yes he might come at the end and save his friends in a fight but… what else?
  
• Then there was 👹Koichi👹, I couldn’t have cared less about that child or his irritating voice that made me feel like my ears would bleed at any moment even tho I loved every character’s dub voice so far in the show and preferred it but him? Definitely not good.
  
• This whole part was mostly about Koichi which made me dislike it more, I wanted Josuke more and I kept anticipating him coming back soon BUT NO it was still fucking Koichi bruh, the whole romance plot of him and Yukako? It was stupid. I hated it. I hated him. I hated her. What does she see in Koichi that could make her this obsessed??
  
• Then there was Okuyasu, I liked him at first but this part has that weird thing where a villain would almost demolish the fuck out of the main characters and then they become besties an episode later?? I know Okuyasu is incredibly dumb but why befriend him anyway? He was so useless imo and I just found him so unnecessary.
  
• The only minor “villain” I enjoyed in this part was Rohan, I loveeee his character even tho it still bothered me that they befriended him so fast because this guy is fucking crazy bit I enjoyed his character a lot and one of the funniest moments in this part was him and Josuke playing cards together.
  
• And lastly Kira: this man is what saved this whole part, I was planning on just skipping to part 5 but I was told it was garbage so I just continued when showed up,m. Amazing villain that I was almost (ALMOST) rooting for lol, his theme fit him so well and gave this creepy vibe whenever he was around and the moment I felt genuine fear in was the fight with Shigechi, I hate children who act like Shigechi but his death is the one I cried for the most in Jojo, and it showed just how far Kira would go just to live his quiet life, like the guy really stole someone’s face and identity just to achieve what he wants 💀
  
• Hayato: this kid was surprisingly one of my favs of the part, despite his weird habit of spying on his parents with a camera, he was pretty damn smart and helpful because of it.
  
• I expected so much of this part and it did not match my expectations but I still enjoyed some moments, like literally anything with Josuke being an actual main charactebeing actually important in parts or also anything with Kira in it lol.
  

   Part 5: (dub) 

• BEST JOJO PART!! ALONG WITH 3 😫😫
  
• Seeing Koichi there first thing made me almost cry in pain but despite his bad voice acting, I didn’t mind him here, also like this art style for him more.
  
• Giorno is one of my fav Jojos, he didn’t have character development but I still liked him a lot! I liked that he already was determined to free Italy from drug dealers who harm children and ruin their lives. I saw a YouTube video by Oceaniz describe as “Johnathan who lives in an environment that forces him to be Dio” and this is the most accurate description of Giorno I ever saw.
  
• I will ignore the ages for this part because idk it’s so weird that the 15 year old boy becomes a mafioso-
  
• Passione: OH MY GODDDD I LOVE THEM ALLLL!!! From the first moment I saw Bruno and the rest of the group I was hooked already, their dynamic and personalities were a great mix together.
  
• Bucciarati: I liked that he was the leader of the group and not Giorno, I loved the more mature personality while not being boring at all, I was and still am kinda confused why he still made it out alive after the first fight with Diavolo but I ain’t complaining lol, I genuinely believed that was it for him but thank god he somehow was revived just for his mission. He was a great guidance for the group and really deserved to live and see what change his actions has caused 😭💔
  
• also Zipper Man is better than Sticky Fingers
  
• Abbacchio: from the first scene I could already tell each of they guys’ personalities but Abbacchio making Giorno drink his piss was not on my bingo card for that episode… anyways, I didn’t like his constant distrust of Giorno at first but giving it to seconds of thought made me realize he was much more realistic than the others to not go easy on Giorno, his death was something I expected the moment Diavolo said he can’t let Abbacchio return to that memory 💀 look, I may have not noticed the “Caesar’s Lonely Youth” but this one? I was ready (not really). His death was a bit unexpected in timing, I honesty expected a fight but how sudden it was made it hurt more, just seeing him smile after helping the children and immediately die afterwards? Cruelest thing I’ve ever seen and it doesn’t even end there because then there was the reaction of the group to what happened, Narancia specifically, made me sob 😭
  
• Fugo: coolest stand in the group, of course he had to leave, they’d literally win every fight without a second thought, it was a surprise to see one of the group back out of the mission in fear for his life but it was so realistic I couldn’t be upset about it.
  
• Narancia: what is there not to love about Narancia? He was such a pure innocent child, but seeing him finally make his own decision and go with the group instead of picking the safety of following Fugo’s decisions is what made me appreciate his character the most plus his determination to help Trish. His death wasn’t one I expected at all, but he started going on about going to school, eating pizza, meeting Fugo again and I just started crying because it was so very obvious what’s about to happen, all I can say is I’m glad it wasn’t his body that was hanged like that or I would’ve never recovered from this. With him being the last main character to die I’ll say I didn’t expect that many of the them to die, I knew to expect someone to die but damn- and they were all so emotional too 😭
  
• Trish: she was… there… 😃
  
• Mista: once again saving THE BEST for the last 😌 my favorite member of Passione and the whole part really (except Polnareff!), the humor? The stand? The personality? The looks? There’s no fault in this man whatsoever, he has the cutest stand ever and also one of my favs! I was genuinely losing it when Prosciutto (fav member of La Squadra!) “killed him” like I don’t think I would’ve handled this one well lmaooo
  
• And lastly, Diavolo (and Doppio): not my favorite villain of the series and I feel like there was a lot of potential for him in fights but he was too much of a coward, like I genuinely feared this guy in the fight with Bruno and Giorno, and his voice actor? Perfect! He gave him the right creepy energy, but then I watched Diavolo get fucked over by Metallica so easily that it just made him look even more weak (I know Metallica is just too powerful but then why make them fight? Knowing I could’ve seen a more brave and smart main villain than Diavolo was exciting and I almost wanted him killed and for Metallica to be the newer threat they main guys are even more unfamiliar with, instead of Narancia killing him by accident and Diavolo winning by pure luck) and I wish we didn’t spend that much time with him swapping souls with Bruno because that just took away so much of the intimidation I felt before, but that feeling came back when they realized that Diavolo’s soul was also inside one of their bodies. For Doppio, it was the same as Diavolo, wasted potential, he was cute and funny but idk I feel that Araki could’ve explored his character more. I wanted more backstory for the two, to see more motivation for hiding their identity but that never happened either :(
  
• Diavolo death: it felt like this was too much for him, like all he did was want his identity a secret and he killed people but infinite death was more fitting for Cioccolata, Dio or the Pillar Men.
  
• As much as I found flaws with the main villain, everything else made up for it, this part was everything I wanted and more after having to force myself through most of part 4, I finished this one in only two days so I’m surprised I remember so much of it, I can go on and on for longer (I still have a lot to say about Polnareff and La Squadra too!) but I already know this review is taking too long 😅
  Part 6: (changed between sub and dub) (mostly sub)
  
• I started this part with dub as usual but I changed my mind later :)
  
• I was a bit off put by the beginning scene of Jolyne in prison, I didn’t like that the first female character was already shown in a sexual way (with her also being naked later in the episode) but I guess that was just for a joke and nothing more.
  
• Maybe I’ve been watching the wrong shows or reading the wrong books but I sometimes worried that female characters would be done too strong and dramatic than normal just to show that there’s now more diversity and women can be as strong as men but making them exaggerated and this didn’t happen here, I love Jolyne so much, she’s my second favorite Jojo!
  
• Jolyne not having a stand since childhood was a but weird, didn’t Jotaro and Polnareff have them since they were young?
  
• Jolyne speaking in a cute voice is the best thing ever
  
• Something I noticed for Jotaro since the beginning in part 3, was how garbage he was at showing emotions, I thought it was teenage him that’s like that but NO he chose to ✨abandone his wife and daughter ✨, he could’ve so easily informed them of this, especially Jolyne who just has no choice but to face this reality someday, iirc Jotaro had no idea that Pucci was working with Dio so when he destroyed the heaven plan he was later met with another issue to resolve so he felt like not involving his daughter but what made him so confident with that? Because she gets thrown into those problems later anyways 🤦🏻‍♀️
  
• Jotaro “dying” so early was not something I expected and I was just sobbing when told her he always cared for her 😭
  
• After Jotaro was gone I felt bored with this part tbh, I like Gwess and her dub voice actress so much and her part was cool but then there started a focus on Ermes, and I didn’t like Ermes at first because she just sounded annoying and I couldn’t have cared less for her backstory or her stupid revenge plan.
  
• This part had the WORST English names of all the anime, it started with Kiss being Smack and Downtwon Transfer but I lost it when they started calling a male character Anastasia, idk if this is a common name for men but I couldn’t listen to that, I liked Anasui more anyway, but my biggest reason to change to sub was that I didn’t enjoy the voice acting, the only one I liked was Jolyne and Jotaro but that’s it.
  
• Anasui: one of the characters I didn’t expect so many people to hate lol but I loved this delusional man that’s in love with the main girl and how Jolyne didn’t even bother noticing him until the end, also him asking for Jotaro’s agreement to marry Jolyne was so fucking random I love it, Anasui is so bad at socializing that it’s funny and I was happy he got the girl at the end.
  
• Weather Report: my fav character of this part after Jolyne! I think most of the characters in this part I disliked at first but absolutely adored later. Aside from time controlling stands, I think his stand is the most powerful in the series, I would love to see something like Thus Spoke Rohan Kishibe but for Weather (still plan on watching that one!), his backstory is tragic and kinda disgusting lol, I know he had no idea it was his sister but damn I didn’t want to see that-
  
• “The rainbows are gone, Jolyne” screaming crying throwing up
  
• Foo Fighters: the purest soul out there, the best friend to ever have, never have I ever thought I’d be crying over a colony of planktons-
  
• Emporio: why are children so smart in this series? I get that a traumatized child might mature faster than normal but that’s a little too smart lol, don’t really have much to say about Emporio but I did love his character and I was sooo happy seeing him reconnect with Jolyne (or Irene) again.
  
• Pucci: my second favorite Jojo villain! At first I really didn’t understand why I should see him as a threat other than the fact that he wants to get rid of Jotaro (not even Jolyne too, just him), it’s not explained why the heaven plan is a bad idea and you’re just expected to be the Jojo’s side which is always the right one, even when he killed those prisoners I kinda thought maybe for the greater good he did this and all those prisoners deserved death anyway because he mentioned that they were like the worst people there or something, I wish we knew early on what the plan was and why is was such a bad thing, the time I did see him as a villain was when he killed Weather, unforgivable behavior right here, for real, Weather was an innocent from the beginning caught up in this because he fell in love with someone and got severely punished for it for now reason at all, all because Pucci couldn’t handle things better, I know Pucci had good intentions but separating the two like that was a garbage idea even without the person he hired being a damn kkk member-
  
• Pucci’s was the one I liked the most or the one that felt the most fitting, seeing his plans fall apart after so much effort was the best.
  
• The ending: my face was just like 😟😟 seeing everyone die at the end and I was slightly confused by what happened later too but it made sense the more I watched Pucci explain his plan, I like this ending even tho I wish I saw Jotaro there too.

I went into this episode with relatively low expectations so I was surprised at how much I actually enjoyed it? I still have several gripes but I think overall this ep remembered that the show is best when it's an ensemble piece and not Elizabeth's personal soap opera. Imo it feels like proof that maybe the series doesn't really need Elizabeth to be interesting at this point; her romance story line is the weakest subplot to me and I feel like not a lot would be lost if it was cut out entirely. Some of the stuff going on with the other characters is finally starting to be compelling again and I'm more invested in that than in whatever they have planned for her and the Endless Love Triangle™
As usual, here's some thoughts:

1. Lucas/Elizabeth/Nathan - Not much change here, I still feel like they're just re-hashing what was already supposed to have been resolved. We've already seen Nathan fearing that he'll lose Elizabeth to Lucas, we don't need to see a repeat of that insecurity, nor do we need to see a repeat of a will they/won't they dynamic with either of them. I'm annoyed because my fear for Nathan seems to be coming true - that he's being reduced to the guy that Elizabeth strings along again as opposed to reaching his full potential as an individual character. I wish they'd just do something else with him, like incorporate him more into the investigation storyline. I get as a Mountie he can't officially do as much as Bill and Rosemary, but he could be so much more than Elizabeth's love interest. It's like the writers don't want to explore who he is beyond that. Also on Lucas - I still can't wrap my head around the point of the Lucabeth breakup if he was just going to end up back in Hope Valley anyway. Him coming back just nullifies the purpose of it? She mainly broke up because she didn't want to move. Well, now he's in HV again so??? That's never going to stop bugging me lol
2. Mike & Mei - Still not feeling it, if anything it felt even more forced because of the lack of buildup to their relationship. Again, I can tell they're trying to go for awkwardly cute but it keeps reading as more awkward than cute. I think part of the problem for me is that while I can tell Mike is very into Mei, it feels like she doesn't reciprocate on the same level? I don't think the writers intended it to come across that way, and this is no disrespect to the actors (who I think are doing well with what they've been given), but something about their chemistry feels off to me. Just my personal opinion but it just seems imbalanced, and I'm still not sure why they chose this particular couple out of nowhere 🤷
3. Rosemary - Okay, I am LIVING for her Nancy Drew arc right now. Imo this is the best thing the show has done with her character in ages and I've been more invested in her storyline than in anything else so far. I love that they're actually taking it seriously instead of treating it like a joke (I know, shocker). Pascale is finally getting to show off her dramatic range again, plus now we're seeing a side to Rosemary that's deeper than her just being the town's busybody. In fact, it's re-contexualized her nosiness as an asset rather than as either comedic relief or an annoyance. Her hyper-attention to detail is what makes her such a good investigative reporter. I think she has much more agency as a character than Elizabeth at this point. Again, I reiterate what I said last week about really wanting a spinoff centered around her solving mysteries. It's become an unexpected strength for her and I wouldn't mind an entire series where that's the main focus.
4. The Canfields - I'm glad it finally seems like they're doing something with them. I get the feeling Joseph's brother is going to show up later in the season, and I'm grateful for that honestly because his storyline has been kind of stagnant lately. I liked what they did with the kids too, I just wish Minnie was being given more to do. Maybe explore her involvement with the daycare center? They're still sleeping on her potential imo
5. Faith & Lily - Idk why but they're continuing to grow on me. Faith actually seems happier fostering this kid than she has been about anything else in awhile, so good for her? 🤷
6. Henry - I love him but is he going to get a storyline this season? It seems like he's just there not doing much except to occasionally get dragged into other people's business (e.g. the daycare)
7. Elizabeth - Her strength as a character is in her interactions with the kids. If only they'd pivot away from the love triangle and focus more on her being a teacher again, I think she'd be more palatable to the audience that way. I actually really liked how sweet she was with the math kid (I forget his name). She seems to be most interesting when she's NOT involved in a romance? I get by virtue of this being a Hallmark show having romantic subplots is kind of a requirement, but they never seem to know how to execute hers well enough, at least not since Jack
8. The Kids - Did Opal and Emily leave the show? I haven't seen them around lately unless I haven't been paying attention. I've always liked them but I understand if the actresses have moved on to other things (or taken a break for school, normal life, etc.) since they were on the show for a long time

The Queen of Acting and supercoolness has had and still has an extraordinary career in both film, television and on stage. Here is a small list of roles she declined for different reasons
01) Portia Blanchett was the original choice to play Portia in this Michael Redford adaption of The Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare. Blanchett had to drop out in the last minute due to pregnancy. We were robbed of Blanchett and Pacino acting together. The interesting thing is that Ian McKellen was also cast in the movie and dropped out in the last minute due to scheduling conflicts. So we were also robbed by Ian and Cate acting once again in the same movie. The cast is: Al Pacino, Lynn Collins, Jeremy Irons, Charlie Cox, Joseph Fiennes etc
02) Anna Cate Blanchett had to drop out right before filming started due to pregnancy. Director Mike Nichols had to recast the role of Anna. The candidate were Nicole Kidman and Julia Roberts. He went with Roberts. This role became like a renessaince for Julia Roberts in getting better and more dramatic work in the future to come. We were robbed of Blanchett acting with Law, Owen and Portman. I believe the decision to drop out of this really hurt Blanchett. The script is adapted by Patrick Marber. Marber later wrote a role for Blanchett in Notes on a Scandal. I believe Closer would have been a way better movie with Blanchett. Her delivery of Anna’s line would have been so fire! And hopefully, in fantasy land, netted her a second best actress nomination and a possible double nomination since this is the same year as The Aviator. The cast: Julia Roberts, Jude Law, Clive Owen and Natalie Portman.
03) Marianne Lane Cate Blanchett was the original choice to play Marianne Lane in A Bigger Splash, directed by Luca Guadagnino. Tilda Swinton replaced her and the rest is history. Since the replacement is as strong as Blanchett itself, I have no complaints. But we were robbed of a reunion between Blanchett and Fiennes since their Oscar and Lucinda days. Blanchett declined due to her on stage performance in The Maids with Isabelle Huppert and Elizabeth Debicki in New York. Margot Robbie was also originally cast but had to drop out due to scheduling conflicts. We were robbed of a possible Aussie duo Cate-Margot fire on screen together. The cast: Tilda Swinton, Ralph Fiennes, Dakota Johnson and Matthias Schoenarts
04) Agatha Blanchett was committed to play Agatha in Minority Report by Steven Spielberg. But because Spielberg wanted to do A.I first, the filming was postponed from late 1999 to April 2001. Blanchett dropped out due to scheduling conflicts and was replaced by Samantha Morton. Morton was fantastic as Agatha so no complaints here. Both Ian McKellen and Meryl Streep were also attached to the movie, but that did not happen. We were robbed once again with a possible Cate-Ian duo on screen and Blanchett with Tom Cruise as well. The cast: Samantha Morton, Tom Cruise, Colin Farrell, Max von Sydow, Jessica Capshaw and more.
05) Isabel / Izzi Creo In early 2002, Blanchett and Brad Pitt was about to start shooting The Fountain by Darren Aronofsky. But because Pitt and Aronofsky had major creative differences, the project was shut down. The roles were recast in 2004 with Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz. Though Weisz is a good actress, I am still curious about what Blanchett could do in an Aronofsky movie. The cast: Hugh Jackman, Rachel Weisz, Ellen Burstyn etc
06) Francis Ford Coppola Cate Blanchett mention she had been contacted by Francis Ford Coppola for a role “When Francis calls, just have to say yes. Because you’re on the epic life-changing adventure ride. You’re on that roller coaster. I’m ready for that”
Well she dropped out of Megapolis so what ever happen that, I dunno
07) Lucille Ball For many, many years, Cate Blanchett has talked about Lucille Ball and potentially playing her. She was cast with Aron Sorkin both directing and writing. Blanchett dropped because the movie went in a direction she was not ready for. Kidman was replaced and the result was not very good at all. Oscar Isaac was in talks as well
08) Pay gap difference in spring 2018 She was offered a lead role and getting lesser paid than her male co-lead. Cate tried to negotiate with the studio but they said no. And so did she. The greatest actress in the world with two Oscars and highly acclaimed movies, could not get equal pay in 2018. That is so gross
09) Considered for Clarice Starling in Hannibal / Ada in Cold Mountain/ Roxy Heart in Chicago / Evelyn Johnson in Pearl Harbor / Audrey Dunn in Unbreakable / Jane Smith in Mr & Mrs Smith/ Hippolyta in Wonder Woman
10) Illeana Cate was offered the role of Illeana in Taking Lives by D.J. Caruso. Angelina Jolie got the part. The cast: Angelina Jolie, Ethan Hawke, Gena Rowlands, Kiefer Sutherland, Olivier Martinez etc
11) Mrs Fox Blanchett was set to voice Mrs Fox in the Wes Anderson’s Fantastic Mr Fox, but was replaced by Meryl Streep for undisclosed reasons
12) Melissa Lewis Blanchett was committed to play Melissa Lewis in The Martian, but had to drop out due to her on stage schedule with The Maids in New York. Jessica Chastain replaced her. I’m glad she dropped out because the role itself is not that much. Chastain is a good replacement and doing her best
13) more to come After Tar, she has turned down roles because she was exhausted after playing Lydia Tar. She needed a break

Alright, considering my shitpost last time kinda rubbed people the wrong way, this time I ACTUALLY sat down and thought of the cast for a Saints Row movie/ Series. I did use some of the original VAs from the games but I used other actors for certain roles simply because of age. Trust me, It sucks but im going in this thinking as a franchise/series but still trying to pick an actoactress that can embody that character from the game. Anyway, Tell me what you think?
The Saints
Johnny Gat- Daniel Dae Kim(Obvious. He is Johnny Gat no matter what.)
Boss- ?
Pierce- Tyrese Gibson (I mean, he literally is Pierce in Fast and the Furious, and can also play serious roles like in the film Waist Deep and Four Brothers.)
Shaundi-Eliza Dukshu, or Peyton List (Trying to go off of the Older Brother Little Sister relationship she developed with Johnny, hence why I chose someone younger for Shaundi. If not, Eliza all the way.)
Carlos- Xolo Mariduena (I personally think he can pull off the young, inexperienced gangster that wants to prove himself to the Saints.)
Julius- Ketih David (I mean, come on.)
​
Troy- Garrett Hedlund, Aaron Paul, or Jake Gyellenhal. (This is no hate towards Michael Rappaport. He played Troy well back in the day. However, in a live action series/film, I don't think he would be able to sell the idea of him being a gangstedetective. I would think he would be more as the chief of police itself here. I went with someone who can be in the age brackett of an undercover cop, but can sell it to the audience that he ISN'T a cop type of thing. Idk, to me I just feel like people who aren't SR fans would believe he isn't one. If you disagree, then thats okay.)
Dex- Larenz Tate. (Idk, im still iffy on that one.)
Lin- Constance Wu (SUPER underrated Actress)
Oleg- ? (I really couldn't think of someone who can play a giant russian dude.)
Angel- Wilmer Valderramma. (Again, iffy on that one.)
Zimos- Damon Wayans, or Martin Lawerence. (They both have that funny character but can be pretty serious at times.)
Kinzie Kensington- Florence Pugh. (She could honestly kill the quirky nerdy Fed who is a secret Sex Addict. Other than that, I don't know. This is one I genuinely struggled on getting.)
Los Carnales
Angelo Lopez- Richard Cabral. ( I think he can REALLY pull off the hot headed Angelo well.)
Hector Lopez- Emilio Rivera. (Literally, pull up a picture of him and Hector and he looks PERFECT FOR IT.)
Luz- Alexa Demie (Her performance in Euphoria was great for an emotional abuse victim. I think she and Richard would do great with it.)
Victor- Benicio Del Torro (He can probably pull off the strong silent type)
Maneul Orejuela- Wagner Moura or Edward James Olmos. (He has experience playing cartel drug lords, that being Pablo Escobar in Narcos and in 2 Guns.)
Westside Rollerz
William Sharpe- Tom Wilkinson. (Dude was made for this role)
Joseph Price- Steve Howey. (Again, due was made for it.)
Vice Kings
Benjamin King-50 Cent, Idris Elba, or Ice Cube. (I was going in this looking for someone who can pull off the Media Rap Mogul yet still looks like they can fold you in half in a fight and the gang leader look, which led me to these three.)
Tanya Winters- Mila Kunis. (NO ONE can play her except her.)
Warren Williams- Michael Rainey Junior. (From Power)
Anthony Greene- Omari Hardwick (Again, from power)
Did I miss anyone?

Just for context, in this specific post:
X = Gen X
Y = Cusp
M = Millennial
This is a repost from the original (which was an extension of the very original post here) that I did a few years back, just to be updated for 2024 because I thought it'd be to fun to explore this again.
But I will exclude the 1984-1985 list because that'd be way too long. I'll add them in the comment sections. So in this post, I'll focus on the celebrities born from 1977-1983.
I know the vast majority of this sub will disagree but I'll post it anyway.
This is based on the vibes and/or appearance of the celebrity so please don't take this too seriously as this may or may not be accurate, depending on one's view of Gen X and Millennials.
This is based on my current perception of these celebrities.

Thoughts?

With summer starting next month, it's a good time to remember what horror movies will be out this year. Horror may not bring in the huge numbers all of the blockbusters do but there's a reason it's one of the most thriving genres. Which of these movies are you most looking forward to watching and how well do you think these movies will do, and which do you think will wind up as a surprise summer hit with legs?
Tarot
May 3
A group of teens start dying in ways related to their tarot readings. Originally nicknamed Horrorscope, if I'm being honest this looks to be a cheap Sony horror movie but maybe it's a lot more self-aware and comedic similar to how Thanksgiving was so who knows. Either way, it's the first major horror movie to kick off the summer.
I Saw the TV Glow
May 3 (limited release)
The second film from Jane Schoenbrun who brought up 2022's We're All Going to the World's Fair, the film follows two neighbors who become entranced by a mysterious TV program late at night. The film premiered at this year's Sundance Film Festival to acclaim, currently sitting with an 8.2 average on RottenTomatoes and is one of two A24 horror movies so for those into challenging, experimental indie horror, this might be one watch. Although this is one to actively seek out since it isn't going to be in wide release.
New Life
May 3 (limited release and day-in-date VOD)
This isn't getting much attention as it's going to VOD but I figure mentioning it because it looked interesting. Set in a sort of post-apocalyptic world, an agent is on the hunt for a women trying to cross the Canadian border. If you want to see this movie and no nearby theaters are playing it, it will be available for video on demand.
The Strangers: Chapter 1
May 17
Director Renny Harlin takes over The Strangers franchises to deliver the first of a new trilogy of films set in the same continuity as the two previous movies, with Chapter 1 functioning as a sort of soft-reboot prequel. The premise isn't anything too disimilar from the previous movies so if you're fine with yet another story of masked home invader terrorizing a couple, this one might be up your alley.
Nightwatch: Demons Are Forever
May 17 (Shudder release)
We've got a Danish horror film now and one a bit more ambition. As a woman takes up a night watch job to find the truth behind her parents' death 30 years ago, all while engaging in a cat & mouse chase between a serial killer who's recently awoken from his coma. If this synopsis sounds interesting, for horror fans it'll be on Shudder soon.
In a Violent Nature
May 31 (limited release)
The feature film directorial debut of Chris Nash who also served as the special effects supervisor for the cult horror comedy Psycho Goreman, In a Violent Nature also debuted this year at Sundance to a lot of positive reviews albeit ones that noted how dark, disturbing, and uncomfortable the film is. An abstract horror film about a malevolent spirit taking over a body going on a killing spree in the forrest, it's safe to say this won't be easy viewing but for those looking for a challenging watch this in select theaters on May 31. Shudder has also picked up streaming rights although an exact date is still yet to be known.
The Watchers
June 14
We're getting double Shyamalan features this year, starting with Ishana Night Shyamalan making her directorial debut. An adaptation of the 2016 novel by A.M. Shine, Dakota Fanning stars as a woman who wakes up odd house in an remote forest in Ireland. Three other strangers are also in the house as all of them are watched by dark shadowy creatures. Given this is her directorial debut, it'll be interesting if Ishana follows in her fathers footsteps of being a reliable and resourceful director or if she peaks with her debut as well.
A Quiet Place: Day One
June 28
The latest in perhaps the biggest or at least most profitable mainstream horror franchise, much like Strangers Chapter One we're going back to the beginning to the very first day the Death Angels arrived on earth and started killing people who so much as made a cough. However, taking over the directing chair from John Kransinski is Michael Sarnoski who looks to follow up the acclaim of his 2021 debut 'Pig' starring Nicholas Cage by making a more expensive blockbuster film. We also have completely new actors to follow in this prequel as Lupita Nyong'o, Djimon Hounsou, Alex Wolff, and Joseph Quinn are the heroes we follow trying to survive the alien threat.
MaXXXine
July 5
The conclusion to Ti West's surprising breakout Pearl trilogy, this time we follow Mia Goth's Maxine Minx in the seedy and sleezy film industry in the 1980s - a time of low budget shlock, porn, and in some cases a little bit of both. She thinks she gets her big break when a serial killer starts targeting the starlets of Hollywood. Also joining Goth in the cast are Giancarlo Esposito, Elizabeth Debicki, Halsey, Michelle Monaghan, Bobby Cannavale, Lily Collins, and Kevin Bacon. Truly bring in all the big stars for this finale.
Sleep
July 5 (limited release)
South Korea recently hit it huge with Exhuma being a huge blockbuster and if you're looking for more South Korean horror, this should satisfy your cravings. The film follows a couple and their newborn as the wife starts becoming afraid and paranoid of her husbands sleepwalking behavior for fear of harming their new baby. This film also marks the last movie for actor Lee Sun-kyun who was in the k-dramas Coffee Prince and Mr. Mister, and who played the rich father in Parasite. Sun-kyun sadly passed away back in late 2023.
Longlegs
July 12
Of course it's not just A24 who's delivering indie horror to the masses. And following the recent success of the Sydney Sweeney led Immaculate, NEON is looking to hit again with Longlegs. Maika Monroe of It Follows fame stars as a detective in the 1974 who's on the hunt for a serial killer played by Nicholas Cage. The trailers and marketing campaign have actually gone viral on the horror community and with Oz Perkins (who gave us 2015's The Blackcoat’s Daughter), I'm curious to see if this lives up to the hype or if maybe the legs should've been cut short.
Trap
Aug 2
I did say we were getting two Shyamalan movies and here is the head of the table himself. M. Night Shyamalan movies are typically unique and special, for better or (often) for worse. This movie tackles a father and daughter who go to a pop concert only to realize it's a darker event than they realized. Again, this could either turn out surprisingly good or unusually bad but if you're going to see it regardless, it's out early August.
Cuckoo
Aug 9
And just in case you weren't done with NEON and horror movies, here comes their third horror movie. The film stars Hunter Schafer in the lead role as a teen who moves to the German Alps to be with her father and his new family. She starts hearing strange noises and having odd visions that lead her to a dark family secret. The film also stars Dan Stevens and Jessica Henwick, and it'll be interesting to see how all of NEON's horror movies do this year.
Alien: Romulus
Aug 16
Apart from A Quiet Place: Day One, this one might be the biggest horror release this summer and the one I'm most excited by and most cautious of. Fede Álvarez seeks to redeem and resurrect the Alien franchises for modern audiences as he did with 2013's Evil Dead, as a cast of mostly talented young actors find themselves having to run or fight a Xenomorph. Fresh off her acclaimed performance in Priscilla, Cailee Spaeny is the new lead actress alongside David Jonsson, Archie Renaux, and Isabela Merced in the cast. If this film also sucks the way Prometheus and Alien: Covenant were then this franchise may be irrevicably damaged for good so I really hope this is a return to form for the series.

With summer starting next month, it's a good time to remember what horror movies will be out this year. Which of these movies are you most looking forward to watching?

If you want to see this movie and no nearby theaters are playing it, it will be available for video on demand.
The Strangers: Chapter 1
May 17
Director Renny Harlin takes over The Strangers franchises to deliver the first of a new trilogy of films set in the same continuity as the two previous movies, with Chapter 1 functioning as a sort of soft-reboot prequel. The premise isn't anything too disimilar from the previous movies so if you're fine with yet another story of masked home invader terrorizing a couple, this one might be up your alley.
Nightwatch: Demons Are Forever
May 17 (Shudder release)
We've got a Danish horror film now and one a bit more ambition. As a woman takes up a night watch job to find the truth behind her parents' death 30 years ago, all while engaging in a cat & mouse chase between a serial killer who's recently awoken from his coma. If this synopsis sounds interesting, for horror fans it'll be on Shudder soon.
In a Violent Nature
May 31 (limited release)
The feature film directorial debut of Chris Nash who also served as the special effects supervisor for the cult horror comedy Psycho Goreman, In a Violent Nature also debuted this year at Sundance to a lot of positive reviews albeit ones that noted how dark, disturbing, and uncomfortable the film is. An abstract horror film about a malevolent spirit taking over a body going on a killing spree in the forrest, it's safe to say this won't be easy viewing but for those looking for a challenging watch this in select theaters on May 31. Shudder has also picked up streaming rights although an exact date is still yet to be known.
The Watchers
June 14
We're getting double Shyamalan features this year, starting with Ishana Night Shyamalan making her directorial debut. An adaptation of the 2016 novel by A.M. Shine, Dakota Fanning stars as a woman who wakes up odd house in an remote forest in Ireland. Three other strangers are also in the house as all of them are watched by dark shadowy creatures. Given this is her directorial debut, it'll be interesting if Ishana follows in her fathers footsteps of being a reliable and resourceful director or if she peaks with her debut as well.
A Quiet Place: Day One
June 28
The latest in perhaps the biggest or at least most profitable mainstream horror franchise, much like Strangers Chapter One we're going back to the beginning to the very first day the Death Angels arrived on earth and started killing people who so much as made a cough. However, taking over the directing chair from John Kransinski is Michael Sarnoski who looks to follow up the acclaim of his 2021 debut 'Pig' starring Nicholas Cage by making a more expensive blockbuster film. We also have completely new actors to follow in this prequel as Lupita Nyong'o, Djimon Hounsou, Alex Wolff, and Joseph Quinn are the heroes we follow trying to survive the alien threat.
MaXXXine
July 5
The conclusion to Ti West's surprising breakout Pearl trilogy, this time we follow Mia Goth's Maxine Minx in the seedy and sleezy film industry in the 1980s - a time of low budget shlock, porn, and in some cases a little bit of both. She thinks she gets her big break when a serial killer starts targeting the starlets of Hollywood. Also joining Goth in the cast are Giancarlo Esposito, Elizabeth Debicki, Halsey, Michelle Monaghan, Bobby Cannavale, Lily Collins, and Kevin Bacon. Truly bring in all the big stars for this finale.
Sleep
July 5 (limited release)
South Korea recently hit it huge with Exhuma being a huge blockbuster and if you're looking for more South Korean horror, this should satisfy your cravings. The film follows a couple and their newborn as the wife starts becoming afraid and paranoid of her husbands sleepwalking behavior for fear of harming their new baby. This film also marks the last movie for actor Lee Sun-kyun who was in the k-dramas Coffee Prince and Mr. Mister, and who played the rich father in Parasite. Sun-kyun sadly passed away back in late 2023.
Longlegs
July 12
Of course it's not just A24 who's delivering indie horror to the masses. And following the recent success of the Sydney Sweeney led Immaculate, NEON is looking to hit again with Longlegs. Maika Monroe of It Follows fame stars as a detective in the 1974 who's on the hunt for a serial killer played by Nicholas Cage. The trailers and marketing campaign have actually gone viral on the horror community and with Oz Perkins (who gave us 2015's The Blackcoat’s Daughter), I'm curious to see if this lives up to the hype or if maybe the legs should've been cut short.
Trap
Aug 2
I did say we were getting two Shyamalan movies and here is the head of the table himself. M. Night Shyamalan movies are typically unique and special, for better or (often) for worse. This movie tackles a father and daughter who go to a pop concert only to realize it's a darker event than they realized. Again, this could either turn out surprisingly good or unusually bad but if you're going to see it regardless, it's out early August.
Cuckoo
Aug 9
And just in case you weren't done with NEON and horror movies, here comes their third horror movie. The film stars Hunter Schafer in the lead role as a teen who moves to the German Alps to be with her father and his new family. She starts hearing strange noises and having odd visions that lead her to a dark family secret. The film also stars Dan Stevens and Jessica Henwick, and it'll be interesting to see how all of NEON's horror movies do this year.
Alien: Romulus
Aug 16
Apart from A Quiet Place: Day One, this one might be the biggest horror release this summer and the one I'm most excited by and most cautious of. Fede Álvarez seeks to redeem and resurrect the Alien franchises for modern audiences as he did with 2013's Evil Dead, as a cast of mostly talented young actors find themselves having to run or fight a Xenomorph. Fresh off her acclaimed performance in Priscilla, Cailee Spaeny is the new lead actress alongside David Jonsson, Archie Renaux, and Isabela Merced in the cast. If this film also sucks the way Prometheus and Alien: Covenant were then this franchise may be irrevicably damaged for good so I really hope this is a return to form for the series.

Just for context, in this specific post:
M = Millennial
Z = Cusp
H = Homelander
This is a repost from the original (which was an extension of the very original post here) that I did a few years back, just to be updated for 2024 because I thought it'd be to fun to explore this again.
But I will exclude the 2005-2006 list because that'd be way too long. I'll add them in the comment sections. So in this post, I'll focus on the celebrities born from 1997-2004.
I know the vast majority of this sub will disagree but I'll post it anyway.
This is based on the vibes and/or appearance of the celebrity so please don't take this too seriously as this may or may not be accurate, depending on one's view of Millennials and the generation after them.
This is based on my current perception of these celebrities.
