The film rights were quickly scooped up, but the project languished in development hell for decades. “I was too young, and I didn’t quite understand what I was writing about. “I realized that what’s challenging about it is making it into a movie,” he explains. Phil Bray/Netflix Once greenlit, however, there were plenty of other challenges to surmount. One of the biggest: how to stage the many, many chess matches that the story required....

Netflix recorded 62 million households watched the show in its first 28 days. The Queen’s Gambitis making all the right moves for Netflix. That makes it the studio’s most-watched scripted limited series ever. Anya Taylor-Joy in ‘The Queen’s Gambit’.PHIL BRAY/NETFLIX But Netflix only records one account view for either of those circumstances for the total tally. Sixty-two million is still nothing to scoff at, though. “Scott also had tremendous help from the series' talented crafts team....

Scott Frankis planning to get theQueen’s Gambitgang back together for his next project. “I’m gonna do it with Anya,” Frank said. It’s a really nasty, wonderful little thriller. Credit: KEN WORONER/NETFLIX I hope to do it with all the folks I didQueen’s Gambit[with]." That’s far from the only project Frank has on his plate, however. The planned six-episode series will starClive Owenas an older version of Spade living in the south of France....

This year, they werepretendingnot to be in some sort of bizarre take-home therapy exercise. Last year, Kim was a damn basket case. Oh… yeah… same, but now with more violence! Credit: Evans Vestal Ward/Bravo Did you ever imagine this day would come? Oh and Kim, what a singular disaster she has turned out to be, poor thing. Then again, after tonights episode, Ive lost a significant amount of sympathy for her....

Welcome, sports fans, to our Super Bowl. The opposing teams are “left couch” and “right couch. But just like Garcelle when Dorit accuses her of checking out this season honey,we show up. I don’t know,maybe? She’s also dating now since her dry-toast boyfriend broke up with herontheir Valentine’s Day trip. I did not like thatat all. And Garcelle may be willing to move on from this argument, but I can make no such promises....

But already, it is doing so much more than that. She lets the other women fawn over Sutton, who is sobbing, “I didn’thandle thatwell.” And it’s not going to go much differently this time! Because these two womendon’t like each other. I think they werepleather, not leather pants." It’s that." “Why are you constantly mean?!” Sutton cries out, and Crystal has had it. You cantellCrystal has had it because her voice finally raises above the tone of a casual conversation....

They’ve got to get in their bi-episodic quotes about howwords are powerful. “I know how mean and utterly dismissive Tom is,” she says in her testimonial. Brad Pitt may not be there, but we all know she could get Ben Affleck in those DMsimmediately. Sutton Stracke on ‘The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’.bravo And, perhaps, most importantly, the Scott Disick conversation is finally broached. Except for Kyle, who will scream, “He’s too damn old!...

I would have let PK give me unsolicited business advice while simultaneously bragging (yes, bragging!) about his prolific bankruptcies. I would have explainedthe Bernie Sanders memeto Kathy Hilton. Hell, I would have explainedmemesto her! Y’know, from the times before there was a national pandemic, and everyone started committing federal crimes… “Who????” “How?????” and one more time, “What????” Kyle’s clarifying questions ultimately yield a few non-clarifying answers. Did the police department tell her those details?...

I simply didn’t see this coming. But for now, she is a shot of pure adrenaline at 1:35 in the morning. ‘Tell meyou’re that girl." But that feeling quickly faded when Sutton confirmed both my and Crystal’s assumptionsimmediately. But that’snotthe same thing. That’s an appropriate reaction; that’s a reaction that might actually create change. (Recapper note: Hi, that’s a “no” from this Southern woman, as well. just never change, Kathy....

Unfortunately, she has decided to make that storyline accusing Garcelle of beingmeanto her. Because accountability ismean it’s bullying, even! The episode kicks off with Rinna continuing to bumble around in the IKEA cupboards in her garage. Is Bravo not allowed to film inside the house unless Harry is slinging pasta in there? Why are we always in this woman’s garage? Crystal says that in non-pandemic times, she hosts parties for other people two to three timesa week....

I’ve got a lot of passion for!" WhichIfind absurd, because who had ever heard of Erika or Crystal before they came on this show either? People whose names are not internationally known can alsonotwant to be associated with fraud and embezzlement! Timesarticlereporting the transferal of millions of stolen dollars from Tom’s law firm to Erika’s LLC. “Why do I think Erika lied about the car crash and head injury?” Sutton asks in her testimonial....

But it’s different with Kathy. (To reiterate: she is always with a small dog it isneverthe same dog.) She is forever asking Kyle to do something for her while simultaneously telling Kyle how sheshould bedoing something else. Leading Kyle to discover that Kathy has left her entire purse, including her phone and wallet at home. KATHY: The lady. KYLE: Who’s the lady?! KATHY: The lady that works at my house!...

But what was I expecting? And I would’a gotten away with it if it weren’t for the meddlingL.A. Timesreporters, and you pesky Twitter users too!" Honestly, that option seems evenlesslikely than Erika admitting fault, or even indifference. And Erika would continue to passive-aggressively bring up Crystal’s simple question for the duration of the episode. But do you know how Rinna ultimately finds a way to sleep at night? Because “I think what I know about me is I am agood friend....
