Okay, if my understanding of this scene is correct…
Bond is strapped to a metal table with a sci-fi laser inching towards his, um, tenders. (Get me my brown pants!) Realizing this isn’t an interrogation (No, Mr. Bond, I expect u to die!) and not having a gadget for the situation (Bond always has a gadget for the situation!), Bond decides that his only way out is to bluff.
Bond tells Goldfinger that if he dies, 008 takes over, and he knows what Bond knows, including Operation Grandslam, and he’s not strapped to a laser table. All lies, of course, Bond doesn’t know anything about Goldfinger’s plans. All Bond is trying to do is convince Goldfinger that he wants him alive. I think Goldfinger ultimately decides to let him live out of a combination of ‘maybe he’s right and I don’t want to deal with whoever comes next’ and ‘eh, Bond is just begging for his life. I guess I’ll let him live a little longer.’ Although, I love the bit where Goldfinger stops to talk this over with his associates, while Bond is still panicking about the death laser.
Hope that clears things up.
Way to go, Taylor! 🏆🏆🏆
Because literally everyone else thought she was wonderful.
What annoys me most is that Trudy bought her crap. Whenever Penny and LaCienega had a fight, LaCienega acted like the sweetest person on Earth, and rather than sticking up for her daughter, Trudy would tell Penny, ‘why can’t you be more like LaCienega?”
Hey, that might make for a good episode. Trudy makes a wish that Penny could be more like LaCienega, thinking LaCienega is a perfect angel, and instead turns Penny into a total she-devil.
Because they’re ugly.
I think I can accept this message, but first Abuela has to have a major epiphany.
As it stands, Abuela finds Mirabel just as the script demands that she apologize for her behavior.
I don’t think that’s the message, but it does leave wondering how the magic works.
Fair enough. 😐
How is this a flop?! I thoroughly enjoyed it. ⚡️
That was one of my favorite parts!
First of all, it’s funny. Second, while very unlikely, it feels like it could work in this universe. And Alfonso Arau’s performance really sells the character.
“Juanita Wilder! I’m your biggest fan!”
I have no doubt that the snake that slithered into frame was real. The one that Jack decapitated, I’m pretty sure that was a prop. 🐍
What is Isabella’s problem?
IMO, Isabella has been raised to be a brat, sort of. As a child, for whatever reason, (it’s never specified) Isabella was chosen as Abuela’s favorite. From then, Isabella is raised as princess; she is superior to everyone, people should be in awe when she walks into a room and she never has to work (we have others, like Luisa, who do all the work for us). Also, the way Isabella treats Mirabel is exclusive, at least in my head, Isabella treats her whole family this way, we just never see it. 😄 I’d love to see how see treats her mother.
Despite being God’s gift to the valley, Isabella has recently learned that people hate her! Sure, the men in the village love her, just for her looks, most people hate her. Unlike the rest of the family, she doesn’t do anything, except grow flowers, and when she comes around, all she does is talk about herself and act like, Your lucky to know me. To add insult to injury, the people seem to love Mirabel 😳. When Mirabel visits the village, she’s friendly, kind, energetic and likable. She’s gets to know many of the people in town and asks if there’s someway she can help out. Isabella doesn’t understand this. She’s essentially a princess and has the ability to grow flowers, but people secretly hate her. Mirabel, on the other hand, has no gift and is a disgrace to her family, but the townsfolk seem to like her. Whaaat?
I know there’s probably other reasons, but I think this is a big reason why Mirabel and Isabella hate each other.
I agree.
I understand that, but how does that translate to I have to force my family into a specific lifestyle?
