‘Peaky Blinders’ Was Named the Best TV Show of the Last Decade

I’m way behind on all the TV I’m supposed to have been watching, and it pains me to admit it, but I’ve only seen a few episodes of the hit show Peaky Blinders. I mean, I’ll get to it sooner or later, I hope. And, by all accounts, I definitely should – because it was named the best TV show of the last decade based on a poll by LADbible.

The poll included more than 29,000 voters, and Peaky Blinders, which is now five seasons into the action, got 29.4% of the vote, beating out Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, and Chernobyl as the best TV show of the decade.

Peaky Blinders debuted in 2013 on BBC Two and the fifth season hit the screen in the fall of 2019. The show is set in Birmingham, England, after World War I, and it revolves around an ambitious gang that seeks to control Birmingham’s underworld. Cillian Murphy stars as the gang’s leader, Tommy Shelby.

The creator of the show, Steven Knight, talked about where he thinks the series will ultimately go: “The destination for the whole show has always been the start of the Second World War, so the show is the story of the family between the wars. I really want to end it with Tommy being alright. I want Tommy to be good and on the side of the angels.”

That sounds like there will be plenty more seasons of Peaky Blinders in store for viewers.

Fans of ‘the Bachelor’ Can Now Get Chris Harrison to Officiate Their Wedding

Isn’t this interesting…?

Some people like to do something big and memorable for when they pop the big question, others would like to have a celebrity preside over the nuptials. Well, if you’re a mega-fan of all things related to The Bachelor, you might want to jump on this opportunity.

Chris Harrison, the host of the massively popular ABC show, has been an ordained minister since 2012 with Universal Life Church and he is available to officiate your wedding…for a fee.

In order for Harrison to consider being at your big day, you have to fill out an online form and give all the details about your big day including location, budget, etc. Harrison doesn’t list a price for his services, but he says he will travel anywhere, including internationally. On his Instagram page, the TV host said, “I’ll even come officiate your wedding – as long as there’s rose or two there..oh and good wine!”

And if you really want to get crazy, you can even book Villa de la Vina, the mansion that’s used in The Bachelor. The sprawling mansion is located in Malibu, California.

If for some reason you can’t afford to dish out the big bucks for Harrison to actually be at your wedding, you can always have him give you a video shout-out, if you are so inclined.

If you could pick a celebrity to officiate your wedding, who would it be?

Oh, and…will you accept this rose…?

Ryan Reynolds Made a Gin Commercial Starring the Woman From the Peloton Commercial

You’ve probably seen the holiday Peloton ad – the one that definitely didn’t go the way the company wanted. It features a wife and mother who receives an exercise bike, then goes on to document her fitness journey online.

The problem is that it sort of plays like a horror movie in which the woman is forced to act like a happy wife and mother who loves working out, but is in fact being held against her will.

Monica Ruiz, the actress, blames her eyebrows, but it turns out the odd commercial might be great for her career – because Ryan Reynolds already hired her to make a commercial for Aviation American Gin.

In it, the Peloton-gifted wife is drinking gin at a bar with her friends after (maybe?) separating from her kidnapper/spouse. Or at least recovering from her traumatic year with the Peloton.

“You are safe here,” one friend says as the women share a toast “to new beginnings.”

Ruiz drains her glass and asks for another, and all’s well that ends well, I suppose.

Most people think it’s hilarious…except Sean Hunter, who played the husband in the original ad. He isn’t as amused by the situation as everyone else.

“Five seconds of air time has created an array of malicious feedback that is all associated with my face. As it continues to be screenshot online, I wonder what repercussions will come back to me. I pride myself on being a great teacher and developing actor and I can only hope this affects neither.”

Time will tell, but I mean, maybe he’ll get a second, better commercial opportunity as well?

You never know, but as for Reynolds and Ruiz, the internet is loving the addition to the “Peloton Cinematic Universe.”

And you know, I do feel a little bad for both actors, who likely never expected that booking an innocuous Christmas ad for an exercise bike would blow up online, for better or worse. But this is who we are as a society now.

Watch your face, folks. There are repercussions for days.

This Crochet Project Is Perfect for Baby Yoda Fans

While you wait for the next episode of The Mandalorian to drop, perhaps you’d like your very own Baby Yoda to keep you company? You’re in luck: someone has made a pattern from which you can crochet your very own Baby Yoda small enough to fit into your pocket.

Even if you’re not an avid crocheter, this pattern from Brazilian crochet guru PhilaeArtes is easy enough for beginners. The pattern is in the style of “amigurumi,” a Japanese style of knitting or crocheting small stuffed yarn creatures.

It’s just as adorable as actual Baby Yoda!

Baby Pattern.https://philaeartes.wordpress.com/2019/11/20/baby-yoda/

Posted by Philae Artes on Saturday, November 23, 2019

To successfully make this Baby Yoda toy, you’ll need to know (or learn) to make a magic circle or magic ring, a single crochet stitch, and how to change to a different yarn color.

PhilaeArtes also has a pattern for an even tinier Baby Yoda keychain, which could totally double as a Christmas ornament during the holidays.

Posted by Philae Artes on Wednesday, November 27, 2019

There are a couple of other crochet Baby Yoda patterns on Etsy, too, and they each have their own flair.

If you’re not crafty enough to make either of these patterns come to life, no worries — you can always buy a stuffed Baby Yoda toy that’s ready-made! You’d be in good company, too, as Mattel’s Baby Yoda toy was the best-selling plush toy on Amazon for much of December. The toy is so popular that it sold out, but there’s a new talking version that is still available.

What are you waiting for??

The “Peloton Wife” Said That Her Face Might Have Been the Real Problem in Those Commercials

You’ve probably seen that Peloton ad and read all of the jokes by now. Just in case, here’s a recap: a husband gifts his wife a Peloton exercise bike for Christmas, and she then makes home videos of her exercise journey.

As opposed to seeing a nice moment between spouses, the internet sees something more akin to a hostage video or a horror film.

Now, Monica Ruiz, the actress who plays “the wife,” is taking the blame for the whole ruckus.

“Honestly, I think it was just my face,” Ruiz told the Today show’s Hoda Kotb. “It was my fault. My eyebrows looked worried, I guess. People were like, ‘She looked scared.’”

She also says she can see how people think she looked worried in the ad, because her eyebrows “move.” That said, she hates that her performance might have ruined a company (Peloton lost over a billion dollars in market capitalization after the commercial came out, which is insane), and that’s why she decided to speak out for herself.

“I was like, Ok, I’ll just let everyone know I’m fine,” she said. “I’m OK, I’m not in a rehab for mental health anywhere.”

She’s just an actress who hopes to book more work soon, god love her.

Image Credit: YouTube

“I hope people can remember that I’m not actually the ‘Peloton lady’ and let me work other jobs,” she said (Ryan Reynolds was clearly listening).

Peloton stood by the ad saying it was “disappointed in how some have misinterpreted” it.

A Creative Fan Edited ‘The Mandalorian’ into a 1980s Sitcom

On top of all its old material, the new steaming network Disney+ has also given us The Mandalorian.

The show stars Pedro Pascal as…the Mandalorian. If you don’t know, that’s a sort of bounty hunter like Boba Fett in the original Star Wars movies. Chronology-wise, the show takes part after the fall of the Empire but before the formation of the First Order.

Pascal’s bounty hunter has somewhat dubious morals, but the show could also be viewed as about an overstretched father trying to make sense of life as he struggles to care for his newly-adopted (green) child.

We’re talking about Baby Yoda, here.

Memes have already made Baby Yoda famous, and so it was only a matter of time until someone reimagined the show as a 1980s sitcom about a father and son.

Fan Gareth Wood did a great job editing footage from the show with the goofy energy of the 1980s sitcoms some of us grew up watching.

Considering that Star Wars: The Last Jedi was released in 1983, the theme song and mood of this edit makes total sense. The video features upbeat music and a simple but bold font. Check it out!

80's style intro for The Mandalorian. ?
