When Tom Cruise says "There's a dead guy in it" after 39:57 I bet he's also describing how he feels inside after coming to terms with the fact that he cant save the love of his life and therefore is "dead" inside. 51:10 its probably been said 10 times, but that kiss wasn't scripted. Blunt thought it was a good place for a kiss and just did it.
The Omega has the ability to reset a 24 hour day. So, all the previous resets Cage had was from after the invasion. When Cage, Rita, and J-squad go after the Omega it's BEFORE the attack so the final reset is 24 hours from the point of it's destruction. That puts the time early morning of the previous day when Cage was just arriving to meet with the General. Cage was able to reset the final time due to getting covered in the blue blood a split second before the Omega is completely dead.
That is the best explanation I have ever read. Thank-you for sharing. I thought that since Cage has the blue blood going forward he would reset when he dies, but there is no Omega so he will just die.
i like to think there is another one that can control multiple omega so he just stole omega ability and someday the big boss will come to finish the job. but your explanation is work too.
Agreed, Omega reset a full 24 hours from its death, and like a Dungeon on a video game, once you kill the Boss at the end, you keep all your progress, skill, and loot.
Nope because he didn't wake at different times when he died at different times. What I think is that the first reset happened when the alpha died when Cage was in the helicopter but Cage didn't remember it because the alpha hadnt bled on him yet. Then the second or third or thousandth reset cage gets the blood on him when it gets to that point and steals the ability when the omega died everything reset to the very first death of of the alpha not cage.
The way I think of it is that the Omega exists kinda outside of time, so even though he destroyed it in the future and returned to the past it was still gone because it doesn't exist in a linear way like we do.
This is how I explain it. When Cage first kills the Alpha with the claymore mine, it still dies at that time. So at the end when he kills the Omega, it still dies so the "enemy" can't fight since it does not have an Omega to command it.
This is based on a Japanese light novel which was turned into a manga, both called All You Need Is Kill. Fantastic book and was really stressed when I heard they turned it into a film with Tom Cruise. They actually did a great job with the film, I was pleasantly surprised when I first watched this.
@@PeXis If I remember, its set in Japan. Tom Cruise's character is just a rookie. Theres nothing special about him until he starts looping. The ending is different but I won't spoil it for anyone wanting to read it but the film does have more of a 'Hollywood' ending but as someone who read the book first and enjoyed it, I wasn't mad about it :).
This reminds me of people in the internet fighting over the "first successful live action anime adaptation" when this movie is such a good adaptation most people don't even know it is.
@@thisstuffisdumb Well, yeah, but is kinda like the adaptation of Starship Troopers, it got modified for the big screen too much to be even related to the source material, will say more similar to World War Z.
This film had so much heart and humor given the subject matter, another fun sci-fi that cruise did around the same time was “Oblivion” that was also really good, also has a lot of heart.
@@JustWasted3HoursHere I have it, M83 was such an inspiring music choice, and fits the mold of how the same director from oblivion was the same from Tron: Legacy and he went w/ Daft Punk to score that film and it’s just amazing as well.
The reason the Mech suits looked so slow in the beginning is because they're brand new tech that everyone is still learning to use. Cage and Rita are able to do crazy maneuvers in the suits by the end because they have trained for literal months with zero fear of death. This let them find the true potential of the suit and their own bodies in a way very few people ever can.
Sakurazaka's story has solid sci-fi credentials and Cruise proves that he still has the chops to pull off mega action movies. Edge of Tomorrow is one of his most compelling and nuanced performances in this genre.
That's because it was adapted from an anime, "All you need is kill". The humor is situational and doesn't rely on one-liners, the romance is slow-burn, gradual and convincing, which is very different from the usual style of Hollywood-made movies
@@phamvietlong5409 The only problem with the romance is that he relives each day with his memories but not her. So from her perspective she is not with him that long. Each time it gets a little further but not by much. But I give it a pass.
One of my favorite Groundhog Day movies. Sounds like neither of you have seen the movie that started this style of TV and movie stories. You need to see the movie Groundhog Day (1993). Many TV shows have a Groundhog Day episode, not just Star Trek: Next Generation. Xena, Buffy, Stargate SG-1, and many more. Emily Blunt: Looper (2012) Tom Cruise: Risky Business (1983); Legend (1985); The Last Samurai (2003); Tropic Thunder (2008); Knight and Day (2010); Jack Reacher (2012); Oblivion (2013).
To anyone wondering this is basically a live action adaptation of a manga. That's why you like it so much, it's essentially good sci fi anime lol. The manga is more about her story btw, and with several changes, so in the movie they made a sort of "sequel" so it was super fun for both new viewers and fan of the manga! I absolutely loved how the guy on the left got super excited the minute he realized it's hard sci fi and time loop! He's my kind of people lol
this is why i like the actress. nothing in this movie is throwing it at you that she is "so cool/badass" like other movies... she just IS one. makes her look coll AF and stuff
What made this movie better for me is knowing Tom Cruise movies prior. He's always the hero that can do almost anything. But in this, he's a coward... in the beginning
Such a fun reaction -- thanks, you guys! And for one of my favorite movies. To add my 2 cents, this last day was different because remember, Cage IMMEDIATELY went to HQ with Rita the day before to talk to the General and get the gadget. So when they ended the Omega it was still the previous 24-hour period and the battle hadn't even happened yet (which is when Cage usually reset -- or after it). So he got the one remaining chance from the dead Omega -- to restart the day where he was arriving on the chopper. But this time the dead Omega (and army) is still dead because it is a fixed point in time. Cage is alive but the Omega remains dead.
The Omega controls all of the Mimics no matter where or when it is. When it was destroyed by Cage all the Mimics died. Since they started the last assault earlier in the morning and the reset takes you back 24 hours, that's why Cage was in the helicopter before his meeting instead of waking up on that pile of uniforms at the barracks.
Fantastic reaction to a fantastic movie. I love when great reactors watch this movie for the first time. BTW I love the 3 Lumia 1020's in the background. My wife had one. For the time the best photos.
50:19 When she made that noise, it reminded me of either (a) the very beginning of the song "Charlie's Angels", by Destiny's Child, or (b) the beginning of a song "In the Summertime", by Mungo Jerry.
Something that occurred to me just now as a contributing factor to the landing being a disaster. Because she was able to reset the day at verdun, she was able to become very proficient using the suit since she had the time. But to everyone else it would like like she could get into it with very little training and be effective, which the press reports. Thus most of these troops either haven't had the time or necessary training which gets so many killed on the beach.
Well think of this. The enemy could reset the day right? So how many times has the army been on that beach before Cage got the power? It could have been a hundred times where the enemy got better and better on that beach. Knowing how to hit the transports or having mimics hide in the sand to attack squads. That might be why one of the alphas was part of the front lines because if they died then it wasn't as a complete victory so the day would reset. I like to imagine cage could have faced that alpha a dozen times already to be quickly killed so that is why the alpha wasn't concerned.
" The Last Samurai" has to be number ONE . Also staring Ken Watanabe. Next might be " Collateral" with Jamei Fox. Room for one more? "Oblivion" with Morgan Freeman in it is well......Morgan Freeman. This last one I had to comeback and edit it in. "Knight and Day" His romantic interest is Cameron Diaz and Tom plays an over the top Super Spy with both having so much fun making it, it shows
Mad Eye Moody, not Hagrid. Also he wasn''t guilty of deserting or impersonating an officer. He was guilty of blackmail but the General did an eye for an eye in the middle of the war and had him treated like a flat out liar. Also, Blunt was married to Krasinski during the filming of this movie.
One doesn't have to completely desert the service to desert. He was guilty of "deserting his post". Though refusing to show is usually classified as dereliction of duty, since he had INTENT to remain away from said post permanently, it can be classified as desertion. Rare but ACCEPTIBLE UNDER THE UCMJ during a time of war. I know of a fellow who refused to be stationed in Okinawa with me, he said he would accept being posted stateside or even Europe but not Cuba or other places... He was LUCKY it was the late 90's and it was not a time of war. He got a dishonorable discharge for refusing an order during a time of peace. An officer can be striped of their commission if court marshaled and serving time; they are demoted to E-1. Once there, it would be impersonating an officer. Also, on the side - If you used a PROGRAM to gain a commission (MECEP, ROTC, etc). If you "quit" or fail to complete any obligations to retain your commission, you can finish them as enlisted.
"A deserter, impersonating an officer" is a plausible "how he was trying to escape" mechanism. We know that it was blackmail, and that the general countered the blackmail with his whole toolbox.
So the first time he gets the blue alien blood on him it creates a 'save point' 24 hours in the past, so every time he dies he gets reset to that point. He loses the save point ability when he gets the blood transfusion. They leave before the invasion starts to kill the omega and when he gets the blood on him again it creates a new save point 24 hours back. This new save point is before the first one because he died many hours before he originally died at the beginning of the movie.
Ooooh! The next Tom Cruise film should be "A Few Good Men" to set the standard that he's not just a great action star, but he's generally always been an amazing actor! ...... that is, if you haven't already seen it
Great movie! Also for what it's worth, "bollocks" isn't in another language. It's slang for testicles 😂. And we use it here in Britain all the time not just Ireland. I mean it may well have originated from Irish I'm not sure. I'm not a big fan but my dad uses it a lot and we're English. It's sort of "what a load of bollocks" means "what a load of sh*t" 😂
I had fun watching y'all react to this movie! 😊I've also seen a ton of sci-fi shows play with this theme of a day resetting, but the idea was popularized by the 1993 classic comedy movie called Groundhog's Day starring Bill Murray and Andie McDowell. You should definitely check it out! (Fun Fact: Andie's character is named Rita like Emily Blunt's character in this movie.) 😁 Another movie called 12:01 came out in 1993 as well, and it was based on a short story written 20 years earlier by Richard Lupoff called "12:01 P.M." but few people saw that movie or its 1990 predecessor by the same name. As far as I know, this story story originated the idea of a day repeating for someone (but I've never read it or watched either movie based off of it, so I don't know if they'd be worth your time to react to or not).
The thing with movies like this is, trying to explain things messes with it. Generally, trying to explain it, ruins it. Like horror movies, often the best monsters are the ones you don't see, or cannot see. That being said, Cage took the power and every reset he restarted when he woke up. He wakes up at two points, on the chopper flying into London. The day after when he wakes up in the Camp. These are fixed points, I guess, to use a 'Doctor Who' concept. Cage is the one who resets, though he uses the power of the Omega to do it, and he does it by dying, or the act of dying makes him reset, maybe? So, when he gets the power from the Omega itself, and dies/resets, it is the night before d-day and so his reset is the next previous time he wakes up, the chopper into London. And, of course, he has just killed the Omega, 'burst of energy from Paris....has taken away the enemy's ability to fight'. What that means? (Shrug) That is going too deep into a plot that was never meant to be that deep. You get lost going too deep; especially if it not that deep to begin with. It is a movie plot, after all. 'They all live, (happily?), ever after......blah, blah, blah. Don't think about it too much.
You absolutely must see Top Gun: Maverick, so of course you should see the original too. I saw it in theatres and you know, It's still worth it. I can't remember if you guy've seen Tropic Thunder, but if not then that one too. Include A Few Good Men and it's a trifecta for anyone.
Tom Cruise: Top Gun, Top Gun Mav is a must. For dramatic: A Few Good Men, Magnolia, Jerry Maguire, Rain Man. Also: Minority Report, The Firm, Born on the Forth of July. And of course MI series.
Great movie. You should watch other Time travel movies like Frequency 2000 and The Butterfly Effect 2004 or Prince of Persia 2010. Also other great Tom Cruz movies like The Firm, A Few Good Man and Jack Reacher.
The Mad Eye Moody you showed was the actor but in the context of that Harry Potter movie, you really showed Barty Crouch Jr. swigging some Polyjuice Potion.
If Cage is televised as a Major, the general public will think he's a soldier. Soldiers get killed in war ALL THE TIME! Even if you can remember a particular soldier from a conflict, I'm willing to bet that you have NO IDEA what happened to him when he stopped appearing on TV and never gave it another thought. Major Cage will not be missed.
They never say, but how many times you reckon he went back altogether? I think it has to be the equivalent of a decade worth of days he repeated. I like that they never say, just like in Groundhog Day, but when you start to think about it you realize it has to be in the thousands.
You have to do the Top Gun series. It's iconic, and simply "required reviewing" for reaction channels! Haha And... you'll both really enjoy them too! Peace!
9:00 Things must be really desperate and they need every warm body they can get. Practically everyone in J squad is at least 10-20 years too old be at their ranks. For example, a person at the rank of private or corporal would be 18-20 years old depending on their age when they first joined. In the classic movie Aliens most of the actors playing Marines were visibly in their mid to late 20’s. But their characters were only mostly at the rank of privates and one corporal.
Oh snap!!! You guys are following doing one of my favorite sci-fi films of the 21st century! I'll probably edit this with snide remarks to your commentary. 🤣
Ending: my assumption is that the Omega is temporally linked; if it dies at any time, it dies at all times. However, if that were truly the case, the invasion wouldn't even have happened, given how the Omega would have been dead before the invasion even happened. But the point of a movie is to entertain, not to be temporally consistent, so...
It's fascinating how people watching a film don't have the patience to wait for the explanations the films will give. If we want to understand a film we watch it attentively until the end without chattering to say nothing!
43:48 That's smart from the general, he can't be certain but he knows that if they are truly who they said they are having that capability, then they will have no trouble getting out.
One thing I've always wondered is, at the end of the movie the day had reset to the morning before etc. But what happens when he dies years later of old age, illness etc? Will he revert back to that morning again or do deaths after 24 hours not count?
As always, very entertaining Reaction to Edge of Tomorrow, good folks. Here’s my take for the explanation of the finale “Reset” scene. The day wasn’t ever resetting, Dr. Carter misconceived the Omega Mimic’s power was reversing time when an Alpha Mimic dies. The temporality only involved telepathy. When an Alpha Mimic loses consciousness upon death the Omega Mimic telepathically transfers its experiences back to its last state of unconsciousness. As detailed in the movie, the dying Alpha Mimics lost their power to Cage and Vertaski assuming it upon absorbing their blood as they were dying. Upon losing consciousness at his death, the Omega Mimic transfers Cage's experiences back to his last state of unconsciousness before his and the Alpha Mimic’s mutual deaths, awaking arriving at the FOB. The slain Omega Mimic lost its power to Cage assuming it upon his absorbing its blood as he succumbed to the guard Alpha Mimic's fatal goring, and Cage transferred his experiences back to himself at his last state of unconsciousness before his and the Omega Mimic's mutual deaths. The reason why the finale scene wasn’t Cage awaking arriving at the FOB but on the flight to his meeting with General Brigham is because seemingly the Omega Mimic’s power being temporal means its loss transferred back in time, consequently rendering Alpha Mimics incapable of relaying their experiences to their past selves, so the battle in London in which Cage had his mutual death with an Alpha Mimic never happens. Timey-whimey cause and effect.
Was this written by AI? Some very notable errors exist in this narrative. Protag wasn't Farrell. (that's pretty big). Some rest mimics (for lack of a better word) other analysis already on youtube.
This has been a sci fi / fantasy trope ever since Groundhog Day. Star Trek TNG, Stargate SG1, several other shows, all done in their own ways, but all pretty much the same lol.
They cloud have explained why she uses a blade: fire weapons run out of ammo, like in the manga. But I prefer this version. The manga is cool but I prefer the movie.

Its very much like an old school video game, every time he dies, it resets to the saved point in the game.
The Sword Rita uses is part of a Tail Rotor Blade of a Helicopter.

Great movie! Also for what it's worth, "bollocks" isn't in another language. It's slang for testicles 😂. And we use it here in Britain all the time not just Ireland. I mean it may well have originated from Irish I'm not sure. I'm not a big fan but my dad uses it a lot and we're English. It's sort of "what a load of bollocks" means "what a load of sh*t" 😂
Cruise is incredible in Samauri … you much watch its period takes place in Japan and the film is brilliant. he looks fabulous.
JV: 16:10 - "It's like a spinning top.. tornado of death!"
Hahaha!
I really love all the variety of films you are doing 😃
I had fun watching y'all react to this movie! 😊I've also seen a ton of sci-fi shows play with this theme of a day resetting, but the idea was popularized by the 1993 classic comedy movie called Groundhog's Day starring Bill Murray and Andie McDowell. You should definitely check it out! (Fun Fact: Andie's character is named Rita like Emily Blunt's character in this movie.) 😁
Another movie called 12:01 came out in 1993 as well, and it was based on a short story written 20 years earlier by Richard Lupoff called "12:01 P.M." but few people saw that movie or its 1990 predecessor by the same name. As far as I know, this story story originated the idea of a day repeating for someone (but I've never read it or watched either movie based off of it, so I don't know if they'd be worth your time to react to or not).
hahaha that mantis impression had me laughing😄
The general had the authority to strip his rank and just scammed the deserter charge
My favorite Tom cruise movie very underrated. Emily blunt is a beast in this movie to !
The thing with movies like this is, trying to explain things messes with it. Generally, trying to explain it, ruins it. Like horror movies, often the best monsters are the ones you don't see, or cannot see.
That being said, Cage took the power and every reset he restarted when he woke up. He wakes up at two points, on the chopper flying into London. The day after when he wakes up in the Camp. These are fixed points, I guess, to use a 'Doctor Who' concept. Cage is the one who resets, though he uses the power of the Omega to do it, and he does it by dying, or the act of dying makes him reset, maybe?
So, when he gets the power from the Omega itself, and dies/resets, it is the night before d-day and so his reset is the next previous time he wakes up, the chopper into London. And, of course, he has just killed the Omega, 'burst of energy from Paris....has taken away the enemy's ability to fight'. What that means? (Shrug) That is going too deep into a plot that was never meant to be that deep. You get lost going too deep; especially if it not that deep to begin with.
It is a movie plot, after all. 'They all live, (happily?), ever after......blah, blah, blah. Don't think about it too much.
Only he knows he has returned😎
depending on our atitude and actions, we can change any boring routine situation, getting total different outcomes from a same scenario. Peace
You absolutely must see Top Gun: Maverick, so of course you should see the original too. I saw it in theatres and you know, It's still worth it. I can't remember if you guy've seen Tropic Thunder, but if not then that one too. Include A Few Good Men and it's a trifecta for anyone.
Like others have said Yall should watch Oblivion starting Tom Cruise its a great scifi movie aswell. 🙂
Tom Cruise: Top Gun, Top Gun Mav is a must. For dramatic: A Few Good Men, Magnolia, Jerry Maguire, Rain Man. Also: Minority Report, The Firm, Born on the Forth of July. And of course MI series.
Vanilla Sky too. The “f** mask” scene is so so good
Great movie. You should watch other Time travel movies like Frequency 2000 and The Butterfly Effect 2004 or Prince of Persia 2010. Also other great Tom Cruz movies like The Firm, A Few Good Man and Jack Reacher.
Love this movie it’s like a video game you die repeat you die repeat until you finally get good. Trail and error.
remember Nicole Kidman: _Far and Away_ and _Eyes Wide Shut_
Jane: "How do you think they get it out?"
LOL Have they tried everything?
The Mad Eye Moody you showed was the actor but in the context of that Harry Potter movie, you really showed Barty Crouch Jr. swigging some Polyjuice Potion.
This is the end of humanity. The rules were out the window and nobody cared if he disappeared. lol
TOM CRUISE = LEGEND
If Cage is televised as a Major, the general public will think he's a soldier. Soldiers get killed in war ALL THE TIME! Even if you can remember a particular soldier from a conflict, I'm willing to bet that you have NO IDEA what happened to him when he stopped appearing on TV and never gave it another thought.
Major Cage will not be missed.
i think because they killed the omega finally.. so it stopped the loop and reset the time for last time 😁.. great reaction guys
They never say, but how many times you reckon he went back altogether? I think it has to be the equivalent of a decade worth of days he repeated. I like that they never say, just like in Groundhog Day, but when you start to think about it you realize it has to be in the thousands.
Some say that Bill Murray was trapped in his loop for 10,000 years.
You have to do the Top Gun series. It's iconic, and simply "required reviewing" for reaction channels! Haha And... you'll both really enjoy them too! Peace!
This film and "Source Code" - 2011 are very similar time loops films Equally entertaining!
Hope you two are having an great and awesome day ❤
9:00 Things must be really desperate and they need every warm body they can get. Practically everyone in J squad is at least 10-20 years too old be at their ranks. For example, a person at the rank of private or corporal would be 18-20 years old depending on their age when they first joined.
In the classic movie Aliens most of the actors playing Marines were visibly in their mid to late 20’s. But their characters were only mostly at the rank of privates and one corporal.
Yay! This is one of my favorite movies and you're one of my favorite reaction channels! ❤
33:42
Yeah it reminds you of anime, because it's based on the japanese light novel All You Need Is Kill by Hiroshi Sakurazaka :)
The CinemaWins channel has a really good analysis and breakdown after the reaction. I won't say more because CinemaWins does it for me.
Oh snap!!! You guys are following doing one of my favorite sci-fi films of the 21st century!
I'll probably edit this with snide remarks to your commentary. 🤣
Ending: my assumption is that the Omega is temporally linked; if it dies at any time, it dies at all times. However, if that were truly the case, the invasion wouldn't even have happened, given how the Omega would have been dead before the invasion even happened. But the point of a movie is to entertain, not to be temporally consistent, so...
It's fascinating how people watching a film don't have the patience to wait for the explanations the films will give. If we want to understand a film we watch it attentively until the end without chattering to say nothing!
Rita must have one hell of a memory.
43:48 That's smart from the general, he can't be certain but he knows that if they are truly who they said they are having that capability, then they will have no trouble getting out.
The Last Samurai, War of the Worlds, Vanilla sky, Mission impossible 1-7, Maverick
8:18 the "impersonating an officer" was an obvious lie from the general so no one belive him and he was put yo fight
Loved the comparison to the rogue lite genre of gaming. Fits pretty well.
IF you are going to dive into Tom Cruise (giggle), than you should really start with Risky Business. The movie that cemented him as a movie star!
33:05 sent me!!!!
One thing I've always wondered is, at the end of the movie the day had reset to the morning before etc. But what happens when he dies years later of old age, illness etc? Will he revert back to that morning again or do deaths after 24 hours not count?
No Omega to reset time any more. So he just dies.
Great reaction, great movie. Thanks.
As always, very entertaining Reaction to Edge of Tomorrow, good folks.
Here’s my take for the explanation of the finale “Reset” scene.
The day wasn’t ever resetting, Dr. Carter misconceived the Omega Mimic’s power was reversing time when an Alpha Mimic dies. The temporality only involved telepathy.
When an Alpha Mimic loses consciousness upon death the Omega Mimic telepathically transfers its experiences back to its last state of unconsciousness.
As detailed in the movie, the dying Alpha Mimics lost their power to Cage and Vertaski assuming it upon absorbing their blood as they were dying.
Upon losing consciousness at his death, the Omega Mimic transfers Cage's experiences back to his last state of unconsciousness before his and the Alpha Mimic’s mutual deaths, awaking arriving at the FOB.
The slain Omega Mimic lost its power to Cage assuming it upon his absorbing its blood as he succumbed to the guard Alpha Mimic's fatal goring, and Cage transferred his experiences back to himself at his last state of unconsciousness before his and the Omega Mimic's mutual deaths.
The reason why the finale scene wasn’t Cage awaking arriving at the FOB but on the flight to his meeting with General Brigham is because seemingly the Omega Mimic’s power being temporal means its loss transferred back in time, consequently rendering Alpha Mimics incapable of relaying their experiences to their past selves, so the battle in London in which Cage had his mutual death with an Alpha Mimic never happens. Timey-whimey cause and effect.
Was this written by AI? Some very notable errors exist in this narrative. Protag wasn't Farrell. (that's pretty big). Some rest mimics (for lack of a better word) other analysis already on youtube.
@@killermist Yikes. Not artificial intelligence error, actual intelligence error. Edited the correction, thanks a lot.
31:28 Awwww ❤❤❤❤
Our current forces don't have exoskeletons yet. But they are working towards it.
Top gun is alright. Maverick is so good
The unlucky "bloody hell, that's the full metal b...." bloke getting punched in the gut is Emily's brother :)
If I'm not wrong, I believe ROTCs don't go into actual basic training. They just trained to be officers I think. I could be wrong though.
Tom Cruise met and married Kelly McGillis, his co-star in the first Top Gun movie.
I would highly recommend "The Last Samurai"
This has been a sci fi / fantasy trope ever since Groundhog Day. Star Trek TNG, Stargate SG1, several other shows, all done in their own ways, but all pretty much the same lol.
Love this movie
16:20 They’re like bio-mechanical krakens.
Actress for "Nancy/Nance" is Tom Hardy's wife Charlotte Riley! I didn't realize at first!
classic best movie ❤❤❤
You had me at Emily Blunt exhaling doing a press up.
They cloud have explained why she uses a blade: fire weapons run out of ammo, like in the manga. But I prefer this version. The manga is cool but I prefer the movie.
Jane, love your top in this video. Where on earth did you get it? ❤
Hi Lauren! (I think), thank you so much, I got it from Shein. I get most of my tops for the show from there. I have actually been trying to get them to make us an affiliate so I can directly link all my tops with a discount code, but even without it, it was $10 CAD. Message me on Instagram if you want the link to the exact top - they have a million versions you have to sift through and look at the real pics people post. My insta is Jane_Vickers_Realtor
U might like the adjustment bureau, with Matt Damon and Emily blunt it's not much action but thought provoking. Nice Lil sci-fi movie
A film for the both of you called....somewhere in time. Staring Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour ❤😭😇
It's just like Groundhogs Day. Take "are.
