Upadilly Dally
Hey friends! How are you doing? I hope your week is going well and you are watching a good movie or show ;) May is officially insane. This week we have a year-end recital, teddy bear picnic at school, Upside Down Day at school (??), 2 soccer games, 5 hockey practices, 2 hockey games, one kid getting braces, therapy appointments for another kid, 2 birthday parties and 2 church activities. Time to LOCK IN. Countdown to summer is on.
Carly and I went to The Devil Wears Prada 2 last night with some of our cousins! It was millennial catnip and I smiled basically the whole time even though there were some things I didn't love love about it, I had a great time. I haven't seen a lot of the new movies that have come out, have you? I heard Michael was good, I actually heard Sheep Detectives is way better than it had any right to be? Let me tell you, the theatre was hopping last night-movie theatres are so back!? I even got recognized there haha-I was wearing crocs.
This week we have Spy Game, Finding Forrester and episode 3 of GOT season 8! Next week will be 13th Warrior, My Sisters Keeper (our pick a flick winner) and GOT! We had Cassie's Picks Poll close this last week and our winner was The Rocketeer-can't wait!
I just posted a BIG Unfinished business Poll-of What World Should I Return to? So many, its a bit overwhelming and its not even all of them ha! I have no clue what will win this one as there are so many different kinds of movies on there!
On YT this week it will be Taxi Driver and GOT!
Extra Butter LIVE will be FRIDAY MAY 29th
Should we do a trivia this summer? Def a YT LIVE in June though!
Ok you are all the best. I really mean it that even though the last couple weeks when I was feeling so incredibly anxious about some things and everyone was sick-this space was always a happy bright spot to be so thank you!

Cassie's seen James Bond Action movie's are You only Live Twice Moonraker Licence to kill Diamonds are Forever for your eyes only the man with golden gun Die another Day Goldeneye Goldfinger Top 8 Bond movie's
Spy Game is phenomenal! Even better for that to be with Carly too.
Since you posted the anime called "Your name" How about some more of it? I recommend Scarlet 2025.. It's like anime Hamlet but it's a pink haired princess. You're gonna love that more
Here's an idea I had for something different with Polls. Cassie could randomly select (5) patrons and these patrons would submit (2) films each. Cassie then has a Poll with the (10) films. This could be done bi-monthly. Open to all paying patrons. Logistically this may prove difficult to implement since Cassie has 3,500+ paying patrons.
Good idea. Also, for another, more PaF style thing Cassie randomly pick one person, have that person pick 10 movie and they all get put in a poll. Or five movies and Cassie picks one. She could do it once every quarter, or half a year, so it doesn’t take up too much space on the channel.
so, Taxi driver made her uncomfy?? Wait till she watches clockwork orange.. She might not be ready for that old ultra violence!!
Not gonna lie, I was kind of underwhelmed by her reaction. I knew she wouldn't like it (because, really, she never likes these kinds of films), but even when a film isn't her cup of tea, she can often still make the reaction entertaining -- but this seemed like an off day or something. Oh, well. They can't all be aces. 🤷♂️ But, yeah, looking forward to her "Clockwork Orange" reaction whenever it finally comes...
For the horror fans: Just SUMM Reactions is watching Peter Jackson’s lesser known great film, Dead/Alive (aka Braindead).
Thanks, I'll check it out.
Only movies I saw this week was MORTAL KOOOMMMMBAT 2 and Deep Water. I recommend the 1995 mortal kombat before part 2. IT's a carly movie too!
Hell yes SPY GAME!
Yes, we should have a trivia night this summer.
Congratulations to Carly!... (I'm probably the very last one to find out about this!)
Spy Game. Starring Brad Pitt from the olden days and Brad Pitt. 😊
I love The Rocketeer (1991)!! Used to watch that film all time when I was a kid. A wonderful cast of Bill Campbell, Jennifer Connelly, Timothy Dalton, Paul Sorvino and Alan Arkin, You will love it Cassie!!
"watch that film all time when I was a kid" = so you have nostalgia. I think many who voted Rocketeer are that way. I was 28 when Rocketeer released and never gave it a chance. I will see what I think about the movie when I watch the full reaction.
Looking forward to your reaction to Taxi Driver (1976), Cassie! I previously shared a BBC Scene by Scene interview with Martin Scorsese. Taxi Driver (1976) is briefly discussed at 22:55 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lBMUgnFdAI Also the writer of the film, Paul Schrader, also did a Scene by Scene interview that same year. Taxi Driver (1976) is discussed at 5:09 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9F9U8bb8RmY
I have not seen any new movies at the cinema lately, but I did go to see 40th anniversary screenings of both Stand By Me (1986) and Highlander (1986). I had never seen Highlander on the big screen before and I had never even seen Stand By Me before that. Both wonderful movie classics!!
Hi Cassie, I have not been getting any email notifications for the past two or so weeks, I haven't been taken off the emailing list by accident? I can DM my email address again if needs be. Thank you!
Can you and Carly watch Off Campus
Me Before You, Southpaw, F1
She has definitely already seen Me Before You, and possibly F1.
Finally The Rocketeer! A perfect movie that is not talked about enough.
What day should we expect GoT episode 8.03? Anyone know? I’m not very plugged in. I have been looking forward to this day for MONTHS. Would be awesome if it could be up by Saturday. She’s going to lose her mind watching it lol
No one can say...only Cassie knows these things.
I almost never do this, in fact this may be my first time ever, but I’m asking that you watch a second place poll movie - Cool Hans, I mean Hand Luke. I know it would mean a lot to Clarence, who sends you many useful gifts, like that Cannonball Run t-shirt he sent for Ben to use as a oil change rag. And you did make a non-promise promise to watch it recently. Plus it was easily the best movie in that poll, a true classic. So if you could find the time, this would be a good thing to do.
OK, who are you and what have you done with Richard? Your anomalous support is appreciated, and with equal sincerity, I would like to suggest that Cassie pencil in Horror of Dracula for the October schedule. It's the definitive Dracula movie (I watched it thinking it would be crap only to annoyingly be proved wrong) , with perfect performances from Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing as Dracula and Van Helsing respectively. Definitely ticks Cassie's scary-but-not-too-scary box and will give her an all-time classic to kick October off with.
BTW: Did anyone else hear that Ben Affleck and Matt Damon came out with a new thriller about corrupt Police. Apparently, it is going to be good, because the Police are already suing for defamation. LOL. Reminds me of the fact that “Training Day” (2001) with Denzel Washington needed Lawyers to make sure that they didn’t get sued for Defamation. They need to put that on the movie trailer, “So Real, that actual cops are suing us.”
It's based on a true story? Or it's just because they use the police force's name?
Dear Cassie+ Family and PIB family as well as her viewing public I like to begin by wishing a Cassie a happy Mothers Day" About Last Week, We thoroughly enjoyed all her reactions including In Bruges not a satisfying ending GOT good as usual and SP had Cassie laughing. My gf and future wife and explained to me that" "Zach it's time to face the facts your never going to win Pick A Flick 12 years from now if all this is still going on you could be long gone given your health and your child and I will still be fighting to get Cassie to watch a Sharon Tate movie ( Valley Of The Dolls, 1967 or The Wrecking Crew, 1968) The only way you are get her to watch one is if you get Cassie to see Sharon Tate through your eyes" " You got me to the light with Sharon, now see if you can get her to watch at least one of Sharon'movies. " Which brings me to this In 1967 Johnny Carson was the head of The Tonight Show and he had Sharon this is the audio from that show https://youtu.be/6M_rkLCqZv0?si=RUZEL-3kYWUXHx2K The Week Ahead: Some great ones Spy Game, Finding Forester and The Long Night on Game Of Thrones. Finding Forester is one we love and Spy Game is a thriller. Your Moment Of Zen: We would like to send our congrats out to Carly. Depending on how Novembers vote turns out . We might be joining you Your Moment Of Zen: Now in 2009 it had been 40 years since The Manson Murders and Larry King ( I miss him) had Sharon Tate's sister on. I found this on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/reel/DYFi-S2sd4z/?igsh=dWh0MXprOWNsbnRs
looking forward to that Finding Forrester reaction 😊
Hi Cassie. Are you going to be watching Cool Hand Luke too? Just so I don't have to keep wondering.
Keep trying Clarence. Maybe try rubbing a lamp and maybe you will be granted three reaction wishes! Cool Hand Luke and 2 others??!
The Rocketeer is a delightful movie.
"I heard Michael was good." Good enough. And it has my favorite Andie MacDowell moment. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117038/
Hang in there Cassie. I sense things are more hectic for you than usual. I believe in you. Michael is EPICALLY good! Top 2 biopic, great for the channel. Devil Wears Prada 2 had me smiling the whole time. I loved it all. Sheep Detective is on the list for my little niece. The Mandolorian And Grogu are next. 🙌❤️🍿
as a father of three boys: Making it through May is HARD. you're a hero for keeping it all together. get 'em Cassie.
Has Cassie ever stated, if she is considering watching HotD and/or AKotSK on the channel?
She reacting to AKotSK after Andor. When asked about HotD, she said she would think about it. But I am guessing she is ready to move on from that world and try something different. Planned reactions of series after GoT in order: 1. Andor (24 episodes) 2. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (6 episodes) 3. [Next?]
If you’re into alien abduction’s then “fire in the sky” would be a good one to watch.
I wasn't much of a fan of 'Spy Game' either, but it's got Reford and director Tony Scott, so I'll try it out again, it's been years since I've seen it.
OK, this new 'sorting comments by number of likes' thing is annoying. I'm pretty sure nobody asked for this, Patreon! 🤦♂️
You can reset that. On PC, open this Upadilly Dally (or a reaction) on its own Patreon page (its own browser tab): https://www.patreon.com/posts/upadilly-dally-158097051 Then click on the up/down arrows to the right at the top of the comments section and select "Newest" from the drop down menu.
Your schedule is seriously stressing me out just reading about it. Lol
Reminds me of a friend mine who had 2 young kids in the early ‘00’s - I went visit for the weekend with his family (they live fairly far away) and all we did during each day was attend his kids various activities - made me glad (again) that I never had kids.
FINDING FORRESTER is a wonderful movie from the director of GOOD WILL HUBTING. One of Sean Connery's last great performances. You will love it. I didn't vote for SPY GAME, but it's a decent enough movie. Brad Pitt and Robert Redford. I think you will like it too.
Fun "little" post in your Instagram ; )
A great lineup for the week and to top this off, if you don’t know what Steve Holton is talking about, Carly is going to be a mother! Congratulations on her pregnancy! 🎉🥳🤰 For myself, I got a wedding to go to on Saturday….😎
Congratulations to Carly and her husband! 🎉 Wonderful news posted on the Popcorn In Bed Instagram. https://www.instagram.com/p/DYTWBhmInsG/
so excited for her!!
This week here on Patreon is fire! Both are really great movies, and GoT is drawing to an end, which will bring us one step closer to Andor - big smile! Concerning new movies? The one I plan to see in the theater is the Mandalorian movie, but I’m still debating the issue myself. I went from being an avid Star Wars fan - the kid who burned through three VHS tapes of the trilogy (IV-VI) - over a couple of watches (I-III) to more or less indifference, except for the highlights Rogue One and Andor. I skipped a lot of the other Disney products of the franchise. Some things are simply not made for me, and life is too short to hate-watch things. But it IS still Star Wars in the cinema, and I think I’ll give it a chance. Extra Butter on a Friday - that’s Saturday morning for me - might be doable - hurray! And talking about a "happy bright spot" - yes, yes it is, and I thank you for that ;-) Have fun with whatever you do!
I'll be back soon guys, but heading over to watch "Basic Instinct" at TBR Schmitt. 😉
Ooh I want to see that too. Enjoyed their Insider reaction a lot.
Please… https://youtu.be/5xGbyyoCvF4?si=BHq8tgS550ab1rq2
My guess is that Dark Cassie wanted "The Devil Wears Prada 2" to have more blood and guts.
Looking forward to Spy Game reaction where many cinema fans unofficially link the trilogy of similar themed Redford movies "3 Days of The Condor" "Sneakers" and "Spy Game."🤫
Looking forward to Finding Forrester.
Finding Forrester is a great movie that is often slept on.
What the heck does she mean taxi driver on yt?? I just watched that reaction like last week? Oh I'm an EXTRA BUTTER PATREON!! 😁🗣️🗣️ I'm only looking forward to game of thrones tbh season 8 IS PEAK ❤️❤️😀 Cassie looked so pretty in those episodes!
Finally Spy Games, now I can change my monthly pick to something different, must now think on it 🤔 lol
Indictment: The McMartin Trial? I've heard some crazy guy saying how it is the best movie nobody has seen.
New films to me but the casts for both films look great and just my luck Extra butter is a work night haha, will have to catch up the next day.
Doing a good job balancing out the chick flicks with manly movies Finding Forrester with Spy Game... Sister's Keeper with 13th Warrior...
Can yawl help me understand in case I missed something. So got s8 ep 1 and 2 will be on yt this week, assuming Sunday? So I didn't miss seeing it last weekend?
Hi Mike. Yes, likely a return to Sundays for GOT. Last week was U.S. Marshalls because of the one week pause between seasons of GOT. And s8 ep1 and ep2 have been watched and presented full length, so this Sunday would be those episodes.
Spy Game and Finding Forrester! Good week!
Trivia nights are a blast, even if I suck at it! So, if you can manage one, that would be great!
I second the motion!
Carly's CIA background should make for interesting commentary during Spy Game
I knew it. It was all the Nike gear, I think.
“You’re the man now, Dawg!” 🤣🤣🤣
Punch the keys for God's sake!
May is tough on moms. Honestly May and June should switch Mother's and Father's day as moms are always so busy. Here's to rest and relaxing when you can find it and all smiles when you are in the moment. Busy can be hard to *enjoy* sometimes but I hope you find those moments and memories that will bring smiles years from now.
Finding Forrester is a great movie. Sean Connery at his best.
Smart to do episode 3 by itself, looking forward to that and spy game for sure.
WOW. This month does sound busy. You could almost say it's... MAYhem. (I'll see myself out). The good kind though, mostly. I finally saw "The Long Walk" on Starz last night. Enjoyed it. Some trivia sounds good to me. Thank YOU for creating this space through the channel.
Speaking of Games, girls watch Dodgeball, Game Night & Tag. It's totally worth it 👌.
I remember Game Night being rather amusing. At least I remember liking it more than the other 2010s Jason Bateman universe of theatrical comedies
SPY GAME - I have been waiting for you to see this masterpiece since you started!!! Fantastic Movie and Im sure you will absolutely LOVE IT.
Has there ever been a switcheroo CARLY'S PICK OF THE MONTH? Or a Carly picked candidates poll?
there needs to be eh-i hog it haha
i hope you saw the comments about this next episode of got! i’d highly recommend a low light setting if you can
If you like "Finding Forrestet" Cassie, I hightly recommend "Searching For Bobby Fischer"
EXCELLENT recommendation.👌🫵👏
episode 3………….
Yesssss finding foreeestorrrrrr
I haven't seen that since the theater. All I remember is James Bond riding around in circles on a bicycle. I do remember liking it a lot at the time, and it had some of the same people from GWH working on it.
Oh man Haven't seen "Finding Forrester" in a minute...How is is that Cassie always manages to catch me off guard with these nostalgic classics!
