Thank you. My thoughts exactly as an arcade kid of the '80s who grew up in a trailer park and fantasized about books and games coming to life. Was that dream realistic? No, it was a dream, just like light sabers, but it was fun and the same kind of escape that the video games provided. A good memory.
I, too, was worried about the length (10 eps), but for me and my husband, we were entertained and involved the whole time.
I think I appreciated the pace at which the different sisters came on board with the plot(s) and the need to get rid of "the prick." If that had happened really quickly or without clearly seeing just how each of them had been really, really hurt by him, it would've triggered my suspension of disbelief alarm. I mean, LOL, not that it was 100% realistic...I mean, God, let's hope not, haha!
Really, really worthwhile!
Ditto. I couldn't handle it again.
I admit, I work in animal rescue, and this stuff hits really, really close to home for me. Everyone's mileage may vary, and I'm not saying it wasn't a well made film or didn't take the subject seriously, but the amount of time and detail given to the fear, pain, and anguish of Rocket & Friends was too much for me.
Weirdly, I found myself disappointed that Rocket survived. I mean, when he nearly died and met Lylla again, I thought, "Go! Go with them! Dude, don't go back! Your regular life sucks compared to this!" And I know that's not the reaction I was supposed to have.
He was so happy. I should've taken a picture of him watching it on YouTube. He can get his details mixed up sometimes, so solving this was especially satisfying -- thank you again! (Once he told me that there was a new season of "Last Train to Glasgow." Turned out to be "Last Tango in Halifax." LOL)
OH MY GOD, THANK YOU!!!!
I pulled it up on YouTube, and my husband is over the moon -- that's it!!!! You don't know the relief that's given him after wracking his brain for years.
Thank you! I'm sorry I didn't check back more frequently -- I'll run this by my husband and see if it matches up with his memory (although he definitely has a coven of witches in there somehow...probably not Columbo's usual quarry! haha). Thank you so much for responding.
I'm a big fan of the original short story ("The Quiet Boy"), and what the review describes seems to be very in keeping with that tone and approach. Looking forward to seeing it for myself.
Yes! I really love it. I’ve read a lot about the incident itself and a wide range of possible explanations. I lean toward something natural, but it’s a strange one no matter how you slice it.
I really love the set up with Oleg and Katy’s and the back-and-forth of the episodes between past and present. I was a Russian major in college, and this is a really great production. Enjoying it so much — yes, more about Oleg and Katya would be a great idea.
It’s in theaters for us here, and we just saw it tonight. We both really enjoyed it a lot. I can see why the ending might seem a little quiet and/or not quite what was expected, but I thought it was good and there’s a lot to think about. I felt that Rebecca Hall’s performance in the lead as Beth was very, very good.
Would love to know how you know! (I usually see it listed as Bertilak, but yes, you see it spelled Bercilak also, which is what Marvel uses for the character connected to the Knights of Pendragon.)
