As we know, the season premiere of Riverdale is going to deal with the death of Fred Andrews. Luke Perry, who played the beloved character, passed away in March after suffering a stroke.
That tribute episode is going to air October 9th and now we are getting out first look from In Memoriam. The CW released three photos and the above one with Molly Ringwald and KJ Apa just breaks your heart. You feel as though it is a real mother consoling her son on the toughest day of his life. The moment he finds out his father is dead. With just one frame, you know this episode is going to be very emotional and make us cry. Just like we did when he heard that Perry passed away.
Before we watched the handsome Conan O’Brien host his talk show every night, he took a course to learn he is handsome on Saturday Night Live. How handsome was he 23-year-old in that 1989 sketch?
Conan O’Brien has traveled all over the World for his TBS specials Conan Without Borders. Tonight at 10p, he travels 6,000 miles northeast to Greenland. A country that Donald Trump says he wants to buy from Denmark. However, Denmark told him no deal.
Conan flew to the gorgeous island covered mostly in ice to see if they would be willing to be sold to the United States via him as our country’s spokesman. Are the natives willing to sell to the US?
Conan sets his sights on the Nuuk, the capital of Greenland where a third of the country (around 18,000 people) lives. He is being shown the city by Vivi and she does not like the idea of becoming American. She is not alone. After touring the Nuuk Golfklub (Trump will love that), he talks to some of the residents there. None of them like the idea. Although, one guy is happy about the publicity they are getting.
The thing about Conan Without Borders is he shows a side of the locations we do not normally see. For example, Phoebe takes him home with her and serves him a true Greenlandic meal. It includes lamb, seal fat, shark skin, dried seal skin and dried fish. Sounds yummy, no? No. He talks to her family about the sale and the high school student tells him they are learning about it in school. What does her class think of the idea? What do you think? They think it is a big joke.
Now that he is familiar with their foods, it is time for him to be interviewed by KNR, Greenland’s biggest and only television station. Since he is such a big star, they ask him to do the weather. The host decides to read it in Greenlandic. He massacres their language as he reads from the teleprompter. We all would because the words are really long with a lot of vowels.
Now that he is a star, he walks the streets of downtown that has only 2 traffic lights. There, the tall white man with red hair is followed by the sole paparazzo and high school students. Both ask him questions and he gets their opinion of the possible purchase.
Now it is time to convince the premiere and the 24-year-old prime minister to sell their land to him. Will he be able to convince them to become Americans? You have to see.
Whether he won them over or not, he did buy himself a lakefront property. He travels to his piece of the rock and you see the magnitude of their icebergs. Icebergs that are melting faster than expected because of warmer temperatures. The more that keeps happening, the less likely we will living on dry land. In other words, we will be underwater.
Greenland is a country we have heard of, but have rarely seen. It is a magnificent country full of beauty. Granted they are wearing winter coats in August, but it is just gorgeous to look at. You will be in awe of how picturesque it is.
It is not only about the scenery, but it is also about the people who call Greenland home. In tonight’s special we learn about them and what their lives are like up there. What do they do for a living? What do they eat? What do they watch on television? Their history during the wars. We also learn how expensive their iPhones. Yes, they have them, Apple is everywhere. This show is a look at a place we rarely see. Conan Without Borders should be shown in schools because you will never get a realer look at a location than you will with him. Well, you can go to Greenland and get a better idea, but it is really cold there.
When it comes to Greenland selling, I hope they do not do it. They seem like are a nice group of people in a stunning country and they should stay that way. Don’t let America’s bad influence ruin what you are now. Believe me, you will remain happier that way.
I have seen several horror movies where inanimate objects are the killing force in them. For example, The Refrigerator is about a fridge that lures people inside and eats them. There there is Death Bed: The Bed that Kills is where if you lie down in it, it will swallow you whole. Finally, there is Rubber about a tire that kills people by telekinetically blows up their heads. Of course, there are the typical killer doll and cars movies, but those are so played out.
Anyways, coming in October, we are getting a new killer inanimate object. Killer Sofa is about a recliner that is possessed by a malevolent Jewish Spirit. Oy!
Killer Sofa is described as, “Francesca always attracted weirdos. When one of her stalkers is found dead, she looks for comfort from her best friend, Maxi. Meanwhile, Maxi’s grandfather, Jack, a disgraced Rabbi, comes across a reclining chair containing a Dybbuk inside. Jack and his voodoo sorceress partner try to find out where the recliner has been delivered while exploring Jack’s newfound gift for communicating with the other world. Meanwhile the reclining chair becomes enchanted by Francesca and starts committing crimes of passion.”
Who says Hollywood is out of ideas? New Zealand that is who. That is where this future classic was made. I would rather watch this than any potential Oscar-nominated movie. The Joker looks like a total downer, this looks like something that will bring joy into your life. That or make you want to throw out all of your sofas, love seats and recliners.
What more do I have to say to make you see the smartest film of the year?
Mariah Carey is 6 months away from turning 50. However, you would not know that looking at this photo of her in a bikini. This is what her song Sweet Fantasy is all about. Actually, I only remember the chorus, so I am assuming that is what the tune is about.
Seriously, doesn’t Mimi look fantastic? She looks better now than she has in year’s past.
