I think you're probably right about the possibility of Asperger's. We also have to keep in mind that these women were raised in wealth and privilege and when it went away, they had no idea how to manage. Anderson Cooper used to talk about how his mother, Gloria Vanderbilt, grew up sheltered in wealth and scandal and when she became an adult, she didn't really know how to live a "normal" life.
I get that we're supposed to think that Smurf was being irrational because she wanted revenge and she wanted to die, but just how did she think the guys were going to get away with this? Pope would have had to have killed all four of the preppers, and still, most likely there were security cameras.
I think the last half of season 5 and season 6 were the best
I’m watching the episode right now about the butcher who likes Edith and they are having spaghetti for supper.
lol
I actually don't like Russell Crowe, this is the only movie I can tolerate him in, but my fav part is when he's about to go through the gate to Heaven and the guy calls to him and he snaps back. Great acting on Russell's part.
Is there going to be a Season 3? or is it over?
Now I'm wondering if I missed something...do we know they were going to confess? I thought it ended with them all going somewhere together and we don't know exactly what their intention is?
The rest of Gladiator I can live without, but the last 20 minutes is a cinematic masterpiece. The scene where he's about to go through the gate and enter Heaven and then someone calls him and he snaps back, I never tire of it.
What We Do In The Shadows, the 2014 movie. Until Canada Netflix removed it, I can't say how many times I watched it. It's not slap-your-knee funny, but I think it's funny in a clever way and one of the most brilliant movies I've ever seen.
I've also seen Driving Miss Daisy, Napoleon Dynamite, The Heat, Sense and Sensibility, several times.
I don't watch the whole thing, but if I catch the end of Gladiator when I'm skimming through channels, I always stop to watch it.
IMO, the last 20 minutes are a cinematic masterpiece.
I think "terrible" is too strong in this case, but I've always thought Grease sends a bad message; that you have to change who you are to be accepted.
I find Edith in the first season really annoying. Jean later settled into the way she portrayed Edith, but in the beginning she was too flat with the delivery and made Edith seem really dumb.
When we were out of school in the summers in the 70s my mom took us to eat at Burger Chef or McDonald’s on Fridays when she went to town to get groceries, but other than that we didn’t eat out. I never had takeout pizza until I was grown.
We ate at Burger Chef a lot as kids in Indiana in the 70s. They sold out to Hardee’s in the early 80s.
The actress who played Jane had a quiet grace and charm, but I wouldn't call her an extraordinary beauty. She was actually a little plain.
I honestly don't know the answer to that, but I do remember seeing one of those biography type shows some years back and John Deacon (the real John Deacon) was speaking about how they came up with ideas for music videos, etc. He said that often Freddie was the one to come up with outrageous ideas and "for lack of a better idea, we just went with it".
Me too. I came here to see if anyone else was as disappointed in this film as I was. It just didn't make sense. How he could have not known what the outcome was going to be when he did that?
I always liked Adam best and thought he was better looking than Little Joe. I've never understood the appeal of Michael Landon. I enjoy Little House on the Prairie despite him.
There's so many it's hard to pick just one, but one I really like is at the end of season 3 when they are all going to vote in the first town election and that Pinkerton tough starts harassing The N***ga General. I love how that guy from Tom Nuttal's saloon who always acted like such a know-it-all and would sometimes taunt N.G. actually defends him by spouting off the amendment to the constitution that allows blacks to vote. When the Pinkerton guy says "does it say anything about N****ers not waiting their turn?" something about the way saloon guy takes a hit off his cigar and quickly says "not that I'm aware of" just cracks me up and makes me feel proud.
And then Charlie Utter gets involved and joins in telling off the Pinkerton guy, while Joanie Stubbs watches and then Charlie says "sorry for all the commotion, Miss Stubbs".
It's not really laugh out loud slap your knee funny, but if you pay attention to small details I think it's one of the most brilliant and funny movies I've ever seen. Look at the furnishings in their home--small, taxidermied animals all over the place, strange artwork and old pictures of people. In the scene where Stu is teaching Vlad how to use internet dating, it looks like there is paper money thumb-tacked to the wall. Why? lol
The entire premise is funny--they're vampires, cold-blooded killers, but they knit scarves, turn pottery, fuss over flat chores, have fun with modern technology, and in the case of Viago, really just long for love. They didn't miss a detail....like Petyr's tomb with the chicken feathers stuck to the walls. That cracked me up for some reason.
Spoiler--Deacon can't stand Nick through most of the movie and blames him for Petyr's death, yet he's the one who tries to comfort Nick after Stu is killed. They're complex characters. On the one hand Viago casually kills that young woman who dreams of going to University and traveling as if she's a mosquito, yet pines outside of Catherine's nursing home night after night.
Strange, though... I found the original short film from 2003? or so to be dull and awkward and I didn't laugh once. It was the same actors, but they seemed flat and not at all charming like they are in this film. It also didn't help that the fake fang teeth they used in the short film were too big and fake looking. I found it distracting. I also don't find the new tv series very good, either.
