Allow me to rant about Maggie and Sanvers

When we first meet Maggie, we learned three basic things about the character: she’s an out and proud lesbian, she’s a cocky little shit, she cares a lot about people. For a while, this is all we had to hold on to. Maggie’s layers were added painstakingly slowly, and you had to pay attention to see what they were. Looking back, the traits that made Maggie Sawyer the woman we love, were always there, we just didn’t know it.

Heading into the finale...

I personally wish they’d flipped the script on who gets new beginnings as it’s all coming to a close. I think a more satisfying ending for a series like this would be Vince retiring, Kent having to move back to Scotland for family reasons, Nina getting a job offer somewhere else with Frankie deciding to follow her there because he plans to marry her someday and doesn’t want to lose her. 

Thus, there’s Jane and Maura… left to continue on with their work just the two of them, like always. After they’ve said their goodbyes to their beloved colleagues, they sit there at the bar a little somber and down, but ultimately realizing that no matter what they’ll at least always have each other. Their phones buzz. “Rizzoli. Isles.” 

They get up, and walk out, back to work, like always.

And it ends right there. With the audience content in knowing that the two of them will carry on, our favorite pair, doing the jobs they’ve devoted their entire lives to since the first moment we saw them. 

The end.

IndyStar Storytellers: Travis DiNicola recounts ‘An Intimate Moment With Meryl Streep’

[entertainingtheidea-deactivated]

You have to hear it believe it: watch the first teaser trailer for Stephen Frears’ Florence Foster Jenkins, led by Meryl Streep and Hugh Grant, with Simon Helberg, Rebecca Ferguson and Nina Arianda co-starring.

The movie tells the true story of Jenkins, the legendary New York heiress and socialite who obsessively pursued her dream of becoming a great singer: the voice she heard in her head was beautiful, but to everyone else it was hilariously awful. Her “husband” and manager, St Clair Bayfield an aristocratic English actor, was determined to protect his beloved Florence from the truth. But when Florence decided to give a public concert at Carnegie Hall in 1944, St Clair knew he faced his greatest challenge.

Here’s How The Media Stitched Up Meryl Streep Over Her “We’re All Africans” Statement

Question No. 1 (Video: Starting at 15:30):

For Meryl Streep. Berlinale is a festival committed to political issues and human rights, which is great. And now I’m especially happy that with you the jury has a president which has given more and more prove to be committed to the human rights of women.

So my question is which are the issues that - of human rights of women or violence against women worldwide - which you think that should be addressed in the production and the promotional films and which are currently the issues that your are especially worried about or committed to?

Answer No. 1 from Meryl Streep (Video: Starting at 16:10):

Well, I’m very committed to equality and inclusion of people of all genders, races, ethnicities, religions. There should be inclusion and this jury is evidence that at least women are included and in fact dominate this jury. And that’s an unusual situation in bodies of people who make decisions. So I think that the Berlinale is ahead of the game.

Question No. 2 (Video: Starting at 27:30):

I would like to welcome you. I’m from Cairo, Egypt and it’s quite an honor to be with you here. And Meryl Streep your movie ‘Ricki and the Flash’ was shown at the opening of the Cairo Film Festival in November. You are a beloved iconic star back home and this is an open invitation for you and all of the jury members to come to Egypt.

My question is the following. There is the film that is representing Tunisia, the Arab world and Africa in the main competition. How do you see this part of the world and is it easy for you to understand that culture and are you following any of the Arab movies by any means? Thank you.

Answer No. 2 from Meryl Streep (Video: Starting at 28:16):

Yes, in fact I’ve just seen a film called 'Theeb’ which I loved. And I saw 'Timbuktu’ recently and I saw - there is another one but my mind is Swiss cheese. I don’t know very much about, honestly, about the Middle East and yet I have played a lot of different people, from a lot of different cultures. And the thing that I notice, is that we are all, I mean, there is a core of humanity that travels right through every culture. And after all, we are all from Africa originally. You know, we are all Berliners, we are all Africans really. So I’m… I think we… Look we have a critic on our jury, we have a director on our jury, we have actors on our jury, we have a photographer, cinematographer. People will be looking at different things in these films. But we are human beings and we are… A film is an emotional experience. So it’s a way that we are going to make these decisions based on what our head wants to say, but we are first attacked at the heart. So that’s an interesting process. I’m so looking forward to it.

So here you go. ‘We are all Africans’ was not in response to Hollywood’s diversity issues or #OscarSoWhite. Get your facts straight before you write incorrect articles or posts!

What do you think about the whole press conference controversy? -a well wisher

Okay, here is the draft of the whole contexted speech from the Berlinale International Jury Press Conference (courtesy: shay-hiddles)

So the general sentiment has been-

Meryl Streep: “There is a core of humanity that travels right through every culture. And afterall, we are all from Africa originally.”

People:

If anyone has read their evolutionary science properly they’d know that Meryl was only saying a proven scientific fact. And Africa is a place NOT a colour!

When you google “Are we from Africa originally?” this is what shows up

So, scientifically she isn’t wrong

The other thing she said was “we’re all Berliners, we’re all Africans.” was probably a reference to the JFK quote “Ich bin ein Berliner”, she was only trying to put forward the fact that there is a common thread of humanity and empathy which universally flows through all human beings regardless of how we look.

The main thing is:

The question asked to her had nothing to do with #OscarsSoWhite 

Or even diversity primarily, it was only about how they decided to see movies from different places given they are different cultures and she said ultimately you see them with your hearts which is what you really do!

Also, she had clearly mentioned before in the press conference how inclusion is very important for her and how this jury had ATLEAST gender equality, she was not refuting anything.

Honestly, I know you might think I am biased but everything I have mentioned above is based on “research” which most people do not do and instead follow deceiving headlines which are only made to boost company sales.

Again to reiterate,

The question asked to her had nothing to do with #OscarsSoWhite

so read the fine-print guys!

You are welcome to judge her however you want or on whatever basis, for that matter anybody based on your opinions about things and people. But do the judging on the basis of your intellectual mind and not on the basis of taken out of context headlines of news organizations.

Don’t be afraid to say no. Refusing to do something defines you just as much, sometimes more, than accepting.

Angie Harmon and Jane Rizzoli

Is it me but I like jane Rizzoli better than Angie as a person…personally I love both Sasha and Maura as a character and person,am I the only one???

[streeperlovely22]

I feel for you and maybe share that feeling a little, but to be completely honest, we don’t really know what kind of people are both the real Angie and Sasha.
