James Corden and his staff from The Late Late Show took the lyrics from Bruno Mars’ song and created a Soap Opera scene with the singer’s words. Then they asked Kate Beckinsale and Milo Ventimiglia to star in it with the CBS late night host.
What we got is the best scene from a daytime drama in a long time. If only they did stuff like this on shows like The Bold and the Beautiful, more people would be watching. I miss when soaps were this good.
Ventimiglia missed his calling because he is natural for daytime TV. Don’t you agree?
Netflix seems to renew more shows than it cancels. When they do cancel a show with big stars or that are critically acclaimed you have to wonder why. Why did they pull the plug on shows like One Day at a Time, Disjointed, Fuller House and The Good Cop?
It seems time was not on their side. Andy Dehnart from Reality Blurred tweeted, “Producers who’ve worked with Netflix tell me that it’s obsessed with how much a show costs per minute. That’s why we get unnecessarily long episodes; longer ep = lower cost per minute.”
Meaning since sitcoms run about 25 minutes, Netflix will consider them more expensive than a show that runs 60 minutes. Now we know why Glow is said to be on the chopping block after every season. Also, a drama like The Good Cop that clocked in 45 minutes, in their eyes, costs more than a drama that takes up the whole hour.
Which means if you want your show to last on Netflix make it as long as possible and then make it even longer than that. That might explain why Arrested Development makes their episodes over 30 minutes long which is rare for a sitcom.
This might not be the case, but it makes a lot of sense. It also explains why they picked up Lucifer and Designated Survivor and not The Last Man on Earth.
A few years ago, on April Fool’s Day, there was a rumor that there was going to be a sequel to Twins called Triplets with Eddie Murphy as their brother. Turns out part of that rumor was true.
Today, when Danny DeVito was on Good Morning America they asked him about it. He said that he and Arnold Schwarzenegger are talking about it, but they don’t know who their triplet will be at this point. Mostly because they still don’t have a screenplay written for it. They have some ideas, but nothing written down on paper just yet.
Once they get that done, then we will finally get a sequel of the 1988 classic.
You know what, I still like the idea of Murphy as the third Benedict.
We know that Chris Hemsworth was once named Sexiest Man Alive, and now I think we can name him the cutest one too. Here he is feeding a Quokka with his mouth like mama bird feeds her baby.
Although, he says it did not come naturally, “Spent 3 weeks crawling around the dirt, studying the Quokkas movements, mimicking their language and eventually gained their trust and was accepted as one of them, I now go by the name Quokkachris #rottnestislandwa @australia @rottnestislandwa”
It was worth it because I am sure he will never forget a moment like this and neither will we.
