Up ish

Since you posed with Carly in front of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, you need to watch The Thomas Crowne Affair with Pierce Brosnan as soon as possible!

Did you pass by Lincoln Center and the Metropolitan Opera, and think of Moonstruck 🌙 with Cher?

Great photo of you in Central Park with the skyline in the back! It somewhat reminds me of one of Cyd Charise and Fred Astaires greatest dance numbers from the film, "The Bandwagon." The Dance number is titled, "Dancing in the Dark." I highly recommend you google it.

In Bruges was awful! I hope you enjoy it more than I did

I'm assuming no UPDATE post this week, but I'm curious what the YT movie uploads will be this week.

So I recently watched "In Bruges". I didn't care for it at all...but it should make for an entertaining reaction from Cassie.

Jen Murray just put up a reaction The 7th Voyage of Sinbad. Between this and Jason and the Argonauts a couple of weeks ago it’s almost like she’s specifically targeting me to get me to subscribe to her channel.

Hope we get the YT edit of "Dirty Harry" this week.

FYI if interested - TBR Schmitt will be doing reactions next month to Basic Instinct (1992) and Deliverance (1972). I've wanted to see Cassie's reaction to these films for a long time, hopefully she watches them this year.

In Bruges is excellent. I made a point of watching it when I was in Bruges. Lovely city! Brendon Gleeson and Ralph fiennes have made some cracking movies like Cavalry, the Guard and The Menu and Conclave which haven't been massive box office hits but are just gems. Hope you enjoy this pairing enough to watch The Banshees of Inisherin

Tubi has put up a bunch of classic 70’s Sci-Fi including A Boy and His Dog, Phase IV, and …….The Final Programme.

Hey I'm one of the ones that put Your Name in the poll. YOU SHOULD PROBABLY WATCH YOUR NAME IN JAPANESE JUST TO THROW THAT OUT THERE. I've never watched the dub but I know the Japanese is really good. The theme song is best in Japanese. Either way I can't wait for it it's so good, I'm so glad my pick was finally chosen.

I cannot overstate enough how excited I am for you to cry over your name

Oh my god did you just say your name?!?!?!?!

Cassie missed an opportunity to watch the Mel Gibson film Gallipoli (which she has mentioned in a few live streams as being on her "to watch" list) on 25 April, which is Anzac Day, a commemoration of military service in Australia and New Zealand dating back to World War 1. It was one of Mel's first acting roles and is also a great movie about the futility of war. It's an iconic movie in Australia; every schoolchild sees it numerous times during their school years.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms after you finish GoT!

Since Game of thrones has 3 seasons to go when it's over, how about some asian new series called "Girl From Nowhere" from Thailand on Netflix. It's a Carly chick flick too! you're gonna love Nanno!!

This is quite the week, a cinephile's dream, two of the most accomplished films ever to come out of the classic studio era of Hollywood (and two best picture Oscar winners to boot): GONE WITH THE WIND and Alfred Hitchcock's REBECCA. I cannot wait to see your reactions to these.

EMERGENCY POP-CORN PICK! Every year around this time I make my pitch for Draft Day (2014). The NFL Draft starts this weekend and it would be a nice surface level introduction to the annual event, PLUS it's a sports movie starring Kevin Costner and Jennifer Gardner (whom they both like) as well as the late, great Chadwick Bozeman (Black Panther). This is the only time of the year that the film would be appropriate, so PLEASE consider it...

Instead of the normal genres we usually do, I think we should go for a "Votes for Quotes" poll. Instead of the movie title, Cassie just puts a quote from the movie and we vote on those. Here's a few to start with: "Put it in the basket, Chief" (1975) "You're a funny guy Sully, I like you. That's why I'm going to kill you last." (1985) "This place has a sign hangin' over the urinal that says, 'Don't eat the big white mint'." (1989) "I'm just the cook." (1992) "It's been emotional." (1998) "I stole a pie! I stole a pie! I stole a pie!" (2000) "You got the right to be bitch-slapped." (2001) "I'm Charlene. We just met. We're together. Do we need to do this again?" (2010)

I think of movies when I see NYC landmarks too - zombies crossing the Brooklyn bridge in the movie Zombie (79), Kong climbing the Empire State Building in two different King Kong(s) 1933 and 2005, the monster in Cloverfield knocking the head off the Statue of Liberty, Q: the Winged Serpent nesting in the Chrysler building……

I'm glad you're finally going to watch Gone with the Wind. It's been my pick-a-flick for the past five or six months. It's one of those classics that I believe everyone should watch at least once in their life. Just pack a lunch because it's a long movie.

Hi Cassie, lovely photos from your trip. Looks/sounds like you had a great time. I never been to NYC but it certainly has had some iconic films shot there. Work has been as mental as ever for me. With Lucy unable to work now, I feel I can’t turn any work down. But I’m feeling pretty burnt out. We are coping financially, but now I’m the sole bread winner, I feel I must work all the time. I think I just need to trust that the work and there for the money will be there. I have alot of regular customers, so I should be ok🫰 I probably will miss a couple of reactions this week, but I can’t wait for GOT of course!I I have decided on popcorn requests to put all my eggs (points) in one basket now and have gone all in on “The Insider” I really think you would like this one Cassie. Again just in case you missed it before, I’ve got to mention “Paul” would love to see a reaction? Also The World Cup in June. Really hope we get a MM style movie/country bet thingy on PiB? You are the Best Cassie ❤️

Kind of a strange question, having been around since 2021 between here and YouTube, I used to hear and see a lot about John Jons, but recently I haven't seen his name in the comments or heard about him on a live, just wondering if he is all right or even still here?

Fascinated to see "Your Name". I feel like it's had such a relentless hype in the comments (and on PaF) for so long, it might struggle to live up to it. Fingers crossed for Mike L, though. This is anime's chance to shine. Great pictures from the NY trip, although based on that second picture, I'm very concerned about the size of Carly's feet. Very much looking forward to the GoT finale. Lots of great stuff going on still. As for Gone With The Wind, I'm going to wait for the YT edit, which should come in under 6 hours.

Also The Philadelphia Story. Have you seen The Pride Of The Yankees with Gary Cooper as Lou Gehrig. Babe Ruth portrayed himself in it.

Glad you had a nice time in New York. Looking forward to seeing Gone With The Wind and Rebecca as an well as season 8 of GOT. Fly safe

Dear Cassie and Family, PIB family and her viewing public. New York New York, My Dad was the first person to take me in January of 2002, I went back the following year to go see my cousin and I stayed for a couple of days we went to Connecticut to the Warrens Occult museum got tickets to see Letterman. Then went back shortly after his daughter was born, with my grandmother who has since passed away. Since then I was only back for a layover where my friend went to the 9/11 museum and One World Trade Center. Great city not as crowded as London. Looks you girls had fun. About Last Week: Overall bad week. However I explained in all my YT video I made yesterday. Now that's out of my system it's over. The Weeks ahead: Gone With The Wind incredible classic you know Hattie McDaniel won for best supporting actress first African American to do so and they made her sit at the back of the room because of segregation. This is classic movie, but it comes with baggage. Still worth watching. Rebecca I own because it's Hitchcock and we get 7-7 one of our favorite episodes. Then we get to Your Name. A Anime movie which my gf told me that if I liked Anime we wouldn't be together. However we both agreed to let Cassie's reaction play while we fall asleep. What are we watching, we saw Reminders Of Him romantic we watched the season finale of the Pitt which Eva my gf at the end there was crying. She found out from the nurses at work that Mandy Moore ( A Walk To Remember) is going to be in a new movie called The Breadwinner. Song Of The Week: The movie Michael comes out this weekend and what better way to celebrate with his breakthrough performance all pop music even today he opened the door for all of them. The 25th Anniversary Of Motown in 1983 and iconic performance changed the world of music forever. The dance moves the outfit the one white glove the tossing of the hat. This one performance changed it all: https://youtu.be/kM5ywtImaSs?si=hpFnL2V12FjH4IQe

Glad you had fun on your trip. Gone with the Wind is my pick of the week.

Tonight we're watching In Bruges...bleep...bleep...bleep...bleep...Oh my gosh...bleep...bleep...bleep...Can't they say...bleep...bleep...bleep

"Start the Revolution Without Me" (1970) Stars: Gene Wilder, Donald Sutherland and Orson Welles On the eve of the French Revolution, they find themselves involved in palace intrigue as history happens around them.

This week Cassie is watching two classic films that starred two sisters in real life. Olivia de Haviland, who was Melanie in Gone With the Wind, was sister to Joan Fontaine of Rebecca. Also, Lawrence Olivier of Rebecca was married to Vivian Leigh, who was Scarlett O’Hara in GWTW.

Wow!! So happy for you! Seriously, to get to be in the Big Apple and to get to see places where popular movies were filmed must be.. pretty surreal.

GREAT photos. Especially like the one on the rock at dusk in the park. Beautiful. What a great time to visit the city, after you've become a certified movie expert and know all the locations. Even before the channel I'm sure you've seen a ton of them. Some other great NYC movies you may, or may not have seen: Wall Street, The Devil's Advocate, The Prince of Tides, Manhattan, Autumn in New York, Cruel Intentions, In America, Summer of Sam, Annie Hall, All Good Things, Date Night, Midnight Cowboy, Trainwreck, Ny: I Love You, The King of Comedy, You've Got Mail, Fatal Attraction. Most recent vibey NYC show I've seen recently is Love Story: JFK Jr. and Caroline on Hulu. Lots of 90's fashion and pop culture in that one. Worth seeing for that alone, I think. Hope you had an amazing trip!

Were you expecting Kevin McAllister to walk up and hand you a turtle dove? Might need more pigeons around. 😁 I hope to have a better reason to visit New York someday than just my Ninja Turtles and Home Alone and Spider-Man nostalgia. Hope you know how lucky you are to have so many cousins. I have only 2 myself, one so far on an opposite side of a political fence so her and my mother don't get along, and the other broke contact with all family for over 20 years and could be anywhere. Haven't seen him since I was 5 and he was in his 20s in the late eighties. My favorite thing I watched this week were some great reactions. Magic Magy(and Laura)'s reaction to "The Impossible", Asian Angels reaction to "Avengers: Endgame", and VKunia's reaction to "Wonder Woman". Some BIG MANLY TEARS were shed and shared. Since you've seen those, I recommend them all. Looking forward to rewatching Scott Pilgrim again.

Extraordinary week for us Classics-Fanatics.

Political thrillers: Absolute Power (1997) The Lives of Others (2006) The Death of Stalin (2017) Enemy at the Gates (2001) In The Line of Fire (1993) Primary Colors (1998) Chappaquiddick (2017) The Year of Living Dangerously (1982) 13 Hours (2013) rewatch

Enjoy Gone With the Wind (1939), Cassie! Here is a DVD featurette, Melanie Remembers, of the late Olivia De Havilland (she died aged 103!) talking about her memories making the filmhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OsiL_13s7g

A political thriller poll? Don’t care. Doubt YouTube will either.

Exactly. My brain is hardwired to movies, tv shows and music. It’s amazing how you view certain locations,etc when you are such a movie & tv show lover. You should go to LA and be part of a live audience for tv show tapings, it’s free. You can also go on backlot tours, etc. Warner Bros is the best.

Well, since Rebecca is a “free” movie I’ll watch it. Probably watch the YouTube edit of GWtW, just to see what Cassie thinks of it

Oh yay! I’m excited to rewatch Gone with the Wind and Rebecca!!

Suggested political thrillers -Traffic (2000) [RT 93%]. Michael Douglas, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Benicio del Toro -The Quiet American (2000). Michael Kaine. Brendan Fraser. -The Bourne Identity (2002) – Rewatch -Mississippi Burning (1988) (young pretty Frances McDormand). Gene Hackman. -The Constant Gardener (2005). Rachel Weisz. Ralph Fiennes. -Michael Clayton (2007) [RT 90%]. George Clooney

You can always trust a large group of fashionable ladies, should they every single one be wearing sensible shoes.

saw Captain Phillips for the first time this week…that Tom Hanks always delivers the goods

And a major YES to a political thriller poll. Always up for a thriller, and I see that you've really enjoyed them on the channel more than not

Cassie, every time you show pictures of you with your friends, I just think how wonderful it is that you can donate your time to help the physiognomically-challenged the way you do. Such a worthy cause to help them know they belong out in the world, it brings a tear to my eye. If you ever feel the strain of these efforts is starting to feel too great, feel free to reach out - I’ll be glad to donate some of my time to help ease your burden. You set such an example for the rest of us!

Suggested Political Thrillers – based on true events -Cry Freedom (1987). Denzel. Kevin Kline. -Michael Collins (1996). Liam Neeson. Julia Roberts. -Zero Dark Thirty (2012) [RT 91%]. Jessica Chastain. -The Trial of the Chicago 7 (2020) -Bloody Sunday (2002) [RT 92%] -Good Night, and Good Luck (2005) [RT 93%]. Jeff Daniels. Robert Downey, Jr -Frost/Nixon (2008) [RT 93%]. Michael Sheen. Kevin Bacon. -Salvador (1986) [Oliver Stone] [RT 90%] (some alterations)

Looks like quite a few will be changing their PaF with whats coming up next two weeks. GoT & In Bruges are what i'm looking forward to, haven't seen the other films before but always up for for going into different genres.

Stoked for the end of GoT! If you ever wanted another experience like this, and in my opinion the only show just as good of this genre, you should really consider watching Vikings! Not the spinoffs, just the original series. I don't think its as long as GoT but to me it was just sliiiiightly better, and the ending was my favorite of any tv show.

OMG - NYC, 12 attractive women, total times group members must have been hit on has to be around 60. Happy you got home safe.

a Political Thriller Poll sounds like an AWESOME idea. and Gone with the Wind and Rebecca in the same week. EPIC Double Feature… will explain why later.

Glad you all had a happy, safe trip 👍🏼

I assume that there are more cousins of the male sex in the family, or is the Y Chromosone not strong in the family? 😄

Just 1 week in between season seven and season eight of Game of Thrones? The rest of us had to wait 2 years.

Sorry to do it here, but if any of the powers that be are reading this, I had sent a Patreon direct message regarding something minor, then also to the support email of the new PiB website but had no response. Nothing that important really, but because I don't use discord or Instagram or anything else I didn't know where to send such messages. Again, it's nothing that important, urgent, or special, I just thought in the tiny case that such a message was lost in the ether to bring it up here. Thanks for everything you do!

Welcome back, Cassie. Great photos. I see the Brooklyn Bridge and it makes me think of "Cloverfield". It's good to hear that Carly is watching "Rebecca" with you. Maybe the two of you will watch other Hitchcock movies in the future. A political thriller poll sounds like fun. What else do we have to look forward to now that summer is getting closer and closer?

Great photos! Glad it was fun trip. 🗽 I’m sure you were recognized there, though many New Yorkers wouldn’t approach to interrupt your day. 😎 I’m enjoying “The Count of Monte Cristo” miniseries on PBS. It is 6 parts, so they have time to explore much more of the story. Jeremy Irons was a standout as the Abbe Faria. It finishes up this Sunday so getting ready for the big reveal. Don't count out Edmund Dantes. 🤺 EDIT: The miniseries is actually 8 parts and will conclude in early May.

I've never been to New York but it's definitely on my wish list. Your pictures just make me want to go even more. I've been watching Monarch: Legacy Of Monsters with a friend, and I've been loving it. For those that don't know, it's a tv series that's part of the monsterverse with Godzilla & King Kong to name a few. It's getting ready to finish it's second season on Apple TV. Something Cassie might have to watch eventually as part of the continuing monsterverse. It's really good and only 10 episodes a season. As for Political Thrillers, the first one that comes to mind is The Client (1994). Another is Murder at 1600 (1997). Cassie has actually seen most of the Political Thrillers I'm familiar with but my favorite that no one ever remembers is Nick Of Time (1995) with Johnny Depp. I'd love a reaction to any of them. Of course there's always The X-Files 😂. It is a mix of "Monster" of the week episodes mixed with Political Thriller episodes🤷🏼‍♀️. I've been wanting this one for so long I even went through the series and narrowed down the seasons the way Star Trek was done. A mix of the monster of the week and enough of the mythology episodes to follow through the whole series, maybe one day.

Interesting week. I will watch all 3 full reactions. Great pics.

Every time I see vacation photos of NYC, the Sex and the City TV series locations always come to my mind. That show was/is visual comfort food to me. Sigh.... So nice to see you had a great time! Rebecca is so GOOD! "Mrs. Danvers" with her subtle menacing persona, stole every scene she was in. I hope you enjoyed the movie!🤞

I'm guessing your family name is Stunning. Cassie Stunning, Carly Stunning, Cousin Stunning, Ma and Pa Stunning. What a stunning fam. I always think of it Could Happen to You when I go to NYC. Like I always think of Get Shorty when I go to L.A. Best thing I've watched this week is Season 5 of The Next Generation. Watching Sinners tonight which I've not seen yet.

Glad you all had such a great time! Looking good! NYC seems as much like its own living breathing character as it does a city. Fitting it's been a fixture in the movies for so long. Great that you got to soak up the scenery. I'm looking forward to the whole react lineup this week and next. Much love, Cassie!

Not sure if Arlington road is strictly a political thriller but it has a few elements. Hope it makes the list as its such a great thriller. Really endearing to hear how your mind links places in famous cities to places the movies have taken you 👍 And lastly that second pic with Carly, man you've got some biceps on you 💪

Would love to see even more classic movie reactions!

Gone with the Wind is one of my favorites, but I still don’t feel mentally ready. It’s sooo long! Takes up most of the day. Need another day to recover from that much couch potatoing.

I hope she was thinking about Home Alone 2 at some point of her NYC adventure

🥸🥸psssst Cassie...I have the good stuff...you like my stuff... premium top quality bagels 🥯🥯 I know you want them...my bagels beat those rubbish dry tiny New York bagels 🥯🥯..I give you good price...you buy from me..💰💰 😂😂😂😂

Critical question: Did anyone recognize you? 🤩

I can't believe a week on PiB where both movies are Best Picture Oscar winners from 1940 and before! What weird world have I woken up to here? I love it! And since I know which GOT episode we have here this week (despite what the caption might say), I'm triply excited!!!

“Cassie at Tiffany’s With Arms Open”

*gasp* Rebecca?! No one ever reacts to this and it’s one of my absolute favorites (book and movie)! And no one has done it better than Hitchcock’s!

I’m glad you had a great trip! I hope you’re recharged and feeling good!

I'm so excited to watch Rebecca with you, it's my favorite Hitchcock.

Such a big family....didn't anyone have boys...lol. Glad everyone had so much fun in NYC. Also very happy to finally get to see The Philadelphia Story.....you need to watch High Society (1956) next for a musical comparison.

Looks great !! Your name is amazing

Gone With the Wind, Rebecca and Game of Thrones, now our cups runith over!

Great to see you having an amazing time. I bet you guys have some great laughs. Sending love from Allie in England x

Cassie, I'm so glad you had a great time. Really looking forward to the Gone with the Wind reaction.

Looks like a fun crew. Glad you had a great time. Did you get to ride a bicycle through Central Park? Great lineup this week. Looking forward to to Rebecca.

Ooh, two genuine classics on the slate, featuring two of the great female performances of the era. Buckle up for some old-school Hollywood magic, Cassie!

That reminds of the story about how Eskimos have Forty different words for Snow; except Cassie has forty different Titles for epic “Meet-Cutes”.

Looks like you're catching up on the real oldies.

I still dream of the Chinese restaurant on Canal Street where I had the best noodles ever.

Great line up for the week and looks like you had a wonderful time, so happy for you!

Gone with wind!... "Frankly my dear. I DON'T give a dam" I read the book before watching the movie. 😁

Doctor Who: An Adventure in Space and Time - it's a biographical film about how Dr Who started back in 1963 and the people involved. It was beautiful

Still (impatiently) waiting for Fried Green Tomatoes, too! "Face it, girls, I'm older and I have more insurance*!

Nice that you had a good trip with Carly and your cousins ☺️🫶🙏

Looks like so much fun. I am suppose to take some students there in June.

If you have not watched Walk The Line or Southpaw please watch both

Amazing! 💯🔥
