CAFFEINATED FILMMAKER

I saw a photo of Fisher Stevens today and I was like, why do I know that name and all I could think about was the phrase, Fisher Stevens, maybe. and when I googled “fisher stevens gilmore girls” this popped up lol. 

After seeing The Americans content on here for 7 years, I finally watched it

every time i watch derry girls i am reminded of this video we watched in school about the troubles. a tv journalist was talking about being on assignment in derry and one night she met a girl who was about 16 or 17 in the women’s bathroom of a pub. they were chatting and when the girl realised she was a journalist she said, “what are you doing here? sure, nothing ever happens in derry.” the journalist was so struck by that statement, but then she realised that this girl had lived her entire life under the shadow of sectarian violence, it wasn’t that she was ignorant or apthetic towards it, she just didn’t know any other life. and thats what makes derry girls such a special show, you have this group of teenagers who are just living their lives and being idiots and then every now and then we as viewers are forced to acknowledge the true horror of the world they are living in.

What’s hilarious about this is that they didn’t even really have an ending planned for this scene. They took it to the network censor person and said there’s going to be a lot of guns and blood is this ok? And she was like hmmm…well could the whole thing be about gun safety? And Dan was like ok sure, because it wasn’t about anything 10 minutes ago.
