Happy Pride Month! On the occasion of the month of pride, we take the opportunity to offer you a small stitch of reminders about these characters bi we sometimes forget.
On the occasion of the month of pride, we propose you to return a little on the bisexual characters of the series of which we sometimes tend to forget that they are bi. Obviously, the characters in question are not defined by their sexuality – as in life! – but we tend to forget that between homo and hetero, there is notably bisexuality . This sexuality is too often erased or set aside in the series because, let us admit, prejudice has a hard life. Regardless of the number and type of partners, it is up to the person to decide whether to categorize bisexual or not, to hell “false lesbians”, “heteros who change camp” and other reductive and ignorant names.
Frank Underwood – House of Cards
A president of the United States bisexual, for now there is only in the series that can be seen … Under his airs of expert manipulator and between two remarks disguised as compliments, Francis knows how to use his charms To seduce both the masculine and feminine … At the same time, who would dare to say no?
Chuck Bass – Gossip Girl
Easy to forget that Chuck remains “open” since he is part of one of the most emblematic couples of Gossip Girl – Chair fans raise your hands ! And yet, the big-hearted bad boy is charmed by both men and women , which is not so surprising when we know his innate curiosity and his character particularly caliente in the series.
Marissa Cooper – Newport Beach
No, it was not just a teenage crisis or a “phase” and even if the story of Marissa Cooper and Alex Kelly broke our hearts, we greet the writers of Newport Beach to have Brought a bit of representation amidst all these teens rich, beautiful and … straight.
Oberyn Martell – Game of Thrones
Obviously it is more of his death that one remembers but god knows how Oberyn Martell knew to celebrate the life . One does not forget that it was not always only with Ellaria Sand and that always it promoted the sexual freedom of Dorne. We would definitely stay here again. Sea, sex and sand …
Lagherta – Vikings
Already at that time among the Vikings, tolerance reigned a little more than today: one of the bloodiest people in history left people sleeping with whom they heard it without worry. One may wonder why today it sometimes requires a medical check-up, a word from the parents, a proof and a dissertation on the relations between men and women, men-men, women-women … Lagertha sleeps with men and women In total indifference, and we have only to hope for things to happen in the same way with us soon!
Here is our small list of bisexual characters whose sexuality is neither erased nor put forward. Obviously there are others like Tina Kennard from The L Word , Angela Montenegro ( Bones ), Ilana ( Broad City ), Katherine Mayfair ( Desperate Housewives ) and William Hill ( This is Us ). And you, what are your favorite bisexual characters?

These immensely Hollywood actors who enjoy themselves in TV series

sivertime — Thu, 15 Jun 2017 19:18:23 +0000

They swapped the big screen for the small …
Not that long ago, the cinema watched its little brother of the series with a lot of disdain, the connection always being made one way: if you were cartooning on small screen, you had to “devote yourself to the cinema” to climb in range. The level Champion’s League what. A more valid observation in this period of golden age for the series and decline of the 7th art. The Hollywood monuments no longer hesitate to pass a head through the small skylight. The proof.
Kevin Spacey in “House of Cards”
It was thought to associate it forever with this sheitan of Verbal Kint, his cult role in “Usual Suspects” . But for a few years now, the Oscar-winning actor has succeeded in establishing himself as the president of the States in our minds. Thanks to the series of phenomena “House of Cards” where his gifts of manipulator are still marvelous. Special mention also to his wife, Claire Underwood, encamped by the genius Robin Wright, that we saw before in “Princess Bride” and “Forrest Gump” …
His films include “Usual Suspects”, “Se7en”, “American Beauty”, “LA Confidential”, “A Better World”, “The Life of David Gale” …
Tom Hardy in “Taboo”
Quoted at episodic apparitions in “Peaky Blinders” , Tom Hardy gave his person (and his money) to create his own series: “Taboo” . A delirium in 19th-century London, between political conspiracies and shamanism. In short, an ambitious project in which Tom Hardy does … Tom Hardy. The good man does not speak or almost speak, even if it becomes his own caricature. I do not hide that I am done in the 8 episodes, hoping that season 2 finally takes off.
His films include “Bronson”, “Inception”, “The Dark Knight Rises”, “Mad Max Fury Road”, “Men Without Law”, “Warrior”, “The Revenant” …
Tom Hiddleston in “The Night Manager”
England, once again honored. Resting on the duality between spy and arms trafficker, “The Night Manager” recruited heavy for the two leading roles. First with Hugh Laurie aka the punchlineur Dr. House. And then calling on Tom Hiddleston, a regular blockbuster, especially via his role as Loki in MCU. A successful bet since the latter won in 2016 the Golden Globe of the best actor in a mini-series or a TV movie
His movies of ouf ‘ : “Thor”, “Avengers”, Kong: Skull Island “…
Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson in “True Detective”
8 episodes: it was the time it took Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey to bend the game of the series. The first season of “True Detective” is a must for any serious series , whether it is at the level of writing, the visual and sound atmosphere, and of course the interpretation of the Hollywood duo who had already worked Together on the film “Live on EdTV” . Unfortunately, the same can not be said of Season 2 and their successors Colin Farrell and Vince Vaughn …
McConaughey’s “Ouf ‘movies: ” Rebel Generation “,” Dallas Buyers Club “,” Interstellar “,” The Wall Street Wolf “,” Magic Mike “…
Harrelson’s films: “The Whites can not jump”, “Killers”, “Larry Flint”, “No country for old men”, “Welcome to Zombieland”, “Hunger Games”, “Unseizable “…
Daniel Radcliffe in “A Young Doctor’s Notebook”
He will definitely spend the rest of his career trying to get rid of his Harry Potter label (good luck). A challenge that goes through the cinema but also the world of series, where little Daniel made a rather successful foray with his role as a young Russian doctor during World War I in the mini-series “A Young Doctor’s Notebook” . Ironically, he shares the role with Jon Hamm, a size of the small screen (“Mad Men”) that tries to make the opposite way towards the cinema.
His movies of ‘ouf’: ah all the Harry Potter
Steve Buscemi in “Boardwalk Empire”
Nothing is ever too big for HBO who through “Boardwalk Empire” has let loose a lot of sorrel so that you think you are in the Atlantic City of years prohibitions. Produced by Martin Scorsese, the series had to attract a heavyweight for the starring role of Nucky Thompson. This was done with Steve Buscemi, who slipped into the smart suits of the alcohol trafficking in Atlantic City. A series I advise to everyone.
His films include “Reservoir Dogs”, “Fargo”, “The Big Lebowski”, “The Wings of Hell”, “Armageddon” …
Tim Roth in “Lie To Me”
And here is his comrade of “Reservoir Dogs” who follows him with “Lie To Me” , where Dr. Cal Lightman, behavioral expert, manages to detect the mythos. A gift he puts to the service of the FBI (Mr. Orange and the police, a great love story). Between us, Tim Roth is the main selling point of this series that does not revolutionize the genre.
His films are: “Reservoir Dogs”, “Pulp Fiction”, “The Planet of the Apes”, “Funny Games”, “The Incredible Hulk”, “The Eight Bastards” …
Nicole Kidman in “Big Little Lies”
With Nicole Kidman but also Reese Witherspoon and Shailene Woodley, “Big Little Lies” has fanned the cast 5 stars, which would make salivate any Hollywood production. But it could be that the mini-series remains in the state of one-shot, the last tendency being to the pessimism concerning a season 2 of “Big Little Lies”.
His films include “Eyes Wide Shut”, “Moulin Rouge”, “The Others”, “The Hours”, “Dogville”, “Paperboy”, “Lion” …
Anthony Hopkins and Ed Harris in “Westworld”
Despite their advanced age and long career as the arm, Anthony Hopkins and Ed Harris had never had regular roles in a series. Far too busy they were to shine at the movies. Well, it should be emphasized that the two monuments did not agree to play in the first series came. “Westworld” is undoubtedly the most gigantic television project of the last decades , and season 1 has barely sketched all the potential of this SF fresco. We want more !
Their movies of ‘ouf’: the list is far too long …
Bonus: Gerard Depardieu in “Marseille”
He could have dispensed with it …

House of Cards season 5: 3 things to remember from the explosive trailer!

sivertime — Wed, 03 May 2017 18:17:31 +0000

Discover what to remember about the season 5 trailer of House of Cards, which will be available on Netflix as of May 30th.
This month, Netflix will regale us with the new seasons of Sense8, Master of None and House of Cards . So we’ll have a lot of series to watch – but honestly, it does not bother anyone – and we’re looking forward to seeing the rest of our favorite Netflix series. Among them there is, as we said, House of Cards , of which Netflix will unveil the fifth season on May 30th . And to prepare us psychologically, the platform of SVOD finally unveiled the trailer of this new season, and you can discover it below! This year, the wait was longer than expected to return to the series, as it is usually broadcast in February or March.
In view of the images of this trailer, there is no doubt that this new chapter in the history of the Underwood looks equally – if not more – gloomy than the previous ones. Since the images scroll at a crazy pace, the editor of melty offers to discover the three elements that must be remembered of this trailer. First of all, Frank is more pitiless and disdainful than ever towards his American fellow citizens . While the United States undergoes Trump’s regime, it seems that House of Cards does not leave its share to the dog and takes the opportunity to bring its critical point of view on the current American situation, via the character of Frank Underwood himself – it is only necessary to listen to his speech . There are also signs of demonstrators, one of which says “Not my President” , the same slogan was used after the election of Donald Trump. More than ever Frank is ready to do anything to win this election, even if the strong way is to be used. Moreover, many images of violence are shown, which reinforces the idea that this is not going to be an easy and joyful season.
Then, it is clear that manipulations, conspiracies and machinations will remain vigorous. The character of Michael Kelly, Doug, seems still to be embarked in unclear stories, which will lead him perhaps even to plunge into alcohol … And who says conspiracies and machinations, says necessarily that there will always be People to try to find the truth, like Tom Hammerschmidt, the editor of the Washington Herald that we can see investigating. Finally, in spite of marital problems in season 4, the Underwood seem to be more united than ever in order to remain at the head of the world’s first power for the next four years – and more so affinities . However, it can also be seen that they will continue to have extra-marital relationships, Including Frank with a new lover, who for the moment is unknown to us. If many things are still mysterious, we are really looking forward to this season 5 of House of Cards, which has new casting actors . What do you think of this trailer?

The first time you saw these series characters, you knew it was going to be the fire

sivertime — Thu, 23 Feb 2017 19:47:25 +0000

Emu, you still remember. You see the moment, you see it again, you do not get tired of it. Because you immediately felt the crazy potential of the character.
The first impression counts enormously. Good and bad. It sets the tone and it’s hard to change it afterwards. It is the same in life, for you and me, as for the imaginary characters of TV series. In a few seconds, we feel something and we catch it or not. With these characters, you have necessarily said that the sequel would be crazy . What beginnings!
Michonne in “The Walking Dead”
Comic fans could not wait for his arrival. Arrived at the end of season 2, finally, here it is … Under a hood, with a saber stained with blood and two penguin zombies kept on a leash as vulgar slaves. A plan of pork. And then, you wanted direct attack season 3. See again Michonne.
Tywin Lannister in “Game of Thrones”
We do not see much, but every time, it produces something. And from the very first scene where we see it, we understand. While Jaime was thought to be at the top in terms of power, charisma, he seems quite timid when he introduces his father . To deal with removing the skin of a deer, speaking calmly of war and responsibilities. Without even looking at his son, he lectures him and makes him tremble.
Frank Underwood in “House of cards”
The neighbors’ dog gets hit and suffers on the sidewalk. He approaches it, warns people, you feel he is all nice, touched. Then Frank finishes the dog. You think he just wanted to shorten his suffering, then you see his impassive face and you hear him explain that he has “no patience for useless things . ” So, you just realized that the guy was merciless, not a bar.
Will McAvoy in “The Newsroom”
A flagship broadcaster of a show, he leads a debate in which he seems outdated. He seems to have given up. People are incensed, remain calm. Even absent. One understands that it adapted to the environment, that maneuver tranquillou. He no longer takes risks, no longer pushes people to their last limits, no longer seeks confrontation. But this is not all: he knows how to make himself loved . After a question, Will McAvoy launches into a long tirade showing up and down across why the United States is the largest country that exists. And it dries everyone.
Dexter Morgan in “Dexter”
It is discovered in full spinning, following a Mike Donovan, pastor of his state. A man loved and respected. Then we see Dexter, this time in the back seat of the pastor, and he tightens his throat with a thread. Ah yeah, okay, pretty cash like intro. And it’s not over: Dexter takes the pastor where a grave awaits him . Already filled with the children he killed and raped. And boom, Dexter stumbles. We begin to understand the killer, our positioning rocking, we begin to cogitate. Which of these characters did you most notice the first time you saw him?
