absolutely blows my mind that we got megan thee stallion's Hiss, kendrick lamar's 4-part assassination of drake AND hbomberguy's plagiarism video* all in the first half of 2024 .... what does the latter half of this year have in store? (watch this post either age beautifully or like milk 2 days before the expiry date)
*i know it was the Dec 2023 when hbomb's video came out, but I usual count whatever happens at the end of the year as a herald for the next
I've been thinking about the How to Marry a Millionaire "remake" and who I would cast...I wonder if the characters would be aged up a bit for a modern retelling?
In the 50's film, they're all supposed to be around 25...but these days, not many 25-year-olds are super focused on getting married, and Bacall's character was a divorcee, so she was gunning for a second marriage!
So maybe they're 30/35, working in the modeling industry, and aren't getting as much work because they've gone past 30...younger, newer talent is starting to replace them. And maybe they're starting to think that life has passed them by...they didn't become huge supermodels with international contracts or influencers with millions of followers, they aren't married (with the Schatze character finalizing her divorce) and they are feeling adrift. Someone comes up with the scheme of finding a wealthy husband, because that could give them both security as well as the opportunities to start up their careers again. Maybe not as models, but maybe one of them wants to start a fashion line...or branch out into different businesses outside of fashion (maybe Loco wants to start a sandwich shop, which would explain why she's always dreaming about them)...and all that takes money that they don't have, but their future husbands will.
I could see Margot Robbie playing any of the characters...I think she'd be most successful at playing Schatze, though she definitely has the comedic chops to play Pola.
I'm not quite sure who could fill the other two spots...but if we are keeping this remake in the fashion world, I need Gwendoline Christie to be somewhere in there as either a diva model or a Miranda Priestly-type agent or editor. I'd say cast her in one of the main three roles, but there is no universe where she is not instantly embraced by the fashion community and becomes a massive star for life.
I really like this take! Having them be in their 30s makes more sense. I'm not a Margot Robbie person for some reason—I don't know why—but Gwendoline Christie would be fun.
Megan getting a cat in her 6H profection year, ruled by Venus for her (Libra), while in Japan, I think? And her relocated chart's 6H is ALSO Venus ruled (Taurus) and that house is associated with pets ain't a coininkidink. Since the SN is transiting there for her, she's wanted a cat for a WHILE and may have since childhood and she's finally able to get one now 😢 Or one she could actually KEEP.
☝️let us be clear, kristen listens to (inflicts) the hyperpop/“meme music” openly, but cries to julien baker and semler at 3am in the cathedral. think brat/shrek soundtrack vs faith healer/stay down/ jesus from texas
meanwhile, riz typically listens to modern classical and film scores, but also enjoys similar “full” music with interpretable lyrics upon repeats-ex. sufjan stevens, frank ocean, etc. concertos and lots of hans zimmer, michael abels, daniel pemberton vs chicago and lost.
