this new video is weird. Instead of believe into their relationship, it makes me doubt. (Smile is not a good proof, she was smiling on the whole way on red carpet). They just looks like.. friends? You know, that kind of friends, that u need to spend time with them, because the rest are busy and you are trying to be nice.

Let me tell you a little story. I literally just woke up, I saw someone sent me the link so I had to watch it before I even get out from bed, that is to say that my mind is fresh (but sleepy) and I haven’t read any other reactions about that video. Anyway… you know what I thought when I saw it? I thought in French.

In French, maybe you know it, we have two ways to say “you”. We say “tu” when we know the person we’re talking to (friends, family, coworkers most of the time, etc…) and you say “vous” when you don’t know the person so well, or when there’s a distance you have to put between you and the other person. There’s no real rule, it’s more like a feeling and you know when you have to say “vous” or when you can say “tu”

Anyway, she looks like she’d say “vous”.
Because I just woke up, English and French melt in my mind, and for a second, I was wondering if she said “excusez-moi” (which would mean she’d used “vous” that you would never never never use with a boyfriend) and I had to rewatch it before my brain understood English again.

That’s my story with this video. Cool, uh?
I should get up and go to work now, I’m late.

Nobody but nobody does cross promotion for another person’s show just because it’s aired by the same network or streaming service. I implore you to show me other examples where this has happened. And what Netflix executive would suggest cross-promoting The Crown and The Fall together? One’s a psychological crime drama about a serial killer and a cop, the other is about the British Royal family! Also, if any if this were true, how come Jamie Dornan hasn’t appeared at an event for The Crown?

I had received so many messages about that, it’s insane! I could literally spend the night giving you hundreds of thousands of exemples where a Netflix (or any other network!) show promotes another one, but it’ll be very boring for everyone, so let me just give you a few exemples.

If we forget that Netflix build up a whole video game (x) where you can play characters from either Orange is the New Black, Narcos, Stranger Things or Sense8 and if we think that actors from one show being cast in another show has nothing to do with crosspromo (x- here from House Of Cards to Narcos), it still leaves us with a lot of examples to talk about. 

For example, do you think it’s crosspromo when Ricky Gervais who will be launching the Spin Off of The Office very soon on Netflix made a parody video promoting literally all the Netflix shows? (x)

Or when an actress from Orange is the New Black promotes House of Cards on an official promo trailer? (x)

I know, I know… You will tell me that this is marketing, and official, and just shows promoting other shows, which is not the same than two actors hanging out together at an award ceremony. Speaking of award ceremony, remember The Emmys last September, when all the cast from Stranger Things did that little skit, giving food to all the celebs in the room, but Kevin Spacey (from House of Cards, for the record) was actually part of the skit?

But still, it’s not really the same, because it’s not like he’s hanging out with real actors from another show. So here he is, at the launch of Da Vinci (streamed on Netflix France) with Matthew Modine from Stranger Things.

But enough of Kevin Spacey. How about Naveen Andrews (Sense8) and 

Samira Wiley (OITNB) at the Gay Pride?

Let’s also talk about social media. Look at this crosspromotional Instagram post from Candace Cameron (Fuller House) posting a parody pic with House of cards (x)

Honestly, I could go on and on and on. I could also go on about other networks, other shows, other actors. Crosspromo is a marketing tool just like many other tools. Fandoms coexist, and when they meet, it’s just more viewers for one show and the other one. Does it mean that Gillian is actually crosspromoting The Crown? Not necessarily, but at least, it’s an option.

* An OBE is a Queen’s honour given to an individual for a major local role in any activity such as business, charity or the public sector. OBE stands for Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire.*

The Fall and Netflix (…yes, Netflix!)

gunningforabasementoffice:

So! Since I’ve had two asks telling me Gillian would never say that Netflix put money into The Fall, and that they were never involved in the production of it, this Wizard World link is for them…and anyone who cares about fact. Start at 31:45.

This year wasn’t the first that Gillian attended the Netflix after-party, either. She was also there in 2014 and 2016.

But Gillian apparently never said any of this and never attended any Netflix parties until PM invited her this year. Silly me. Watch this, anyway.

(And huge thanks to @altaircolin!)

The Fall and Netflix (…yes, Netflix!)

Letters from Gillian – July 24, 2003

ilove-gillian:

Thank you to everyone for your well wishes. You are not far wrong about the flipflops.

Just a quick note to say that we are trying to generate more funds for Gilbert’s schooling fees and that anything anyone can think of as a way to raise some extra dosh would be much appreciated. Gilbert is going to be a very important fixture in the future of the Buskaid school, especially where the training of cellists is concerned. Thank you so much for that.

And one more thing from my horizontal throne — Now that the auctions are no more…my Mother was thinking that it might be a fun thing if the fans came up with creative ideas to raise money for N.F. Maybe the suggestions could all be sent in to Becca and Mari within a designated period of time and then we could go through them and come up with what sounds doable. Hmmm? Good thing?

That’s all for now–

me.

What is implying your anon? Gillian shared cars with a lot of men, she was sitting next to a lot of men, too. And they weren’t alone in this hotel room, which is a fact. Because as I get it, she could have been in the car with Andrew because he is a guy but being with hetero man it must mean only one thing? It is a bit insulting to Gillian, in my opinion!

That is very very very true! So far, I don’t see the difference between Gillian’s behavior with Andrew and with PM, except that she was way more friendly with Andrew. 

Morgan is not my cup of tea, but I think we’re fooling ourselves. They look extremely awkward and cold, but she was seated next to him at the table, he was the only one at that hotel room with her, and they shared the car.

I think we all agree on these facts. But there’s also many ways to interpret them, and as long as their interactions leave the door open, I’ll choose to believe there’s nothing more than a coworker relationship or maybe a cordial friendship. That’s all I saw that night.
