| Reservation Dogs | |
| I've tried 3 different times to get through the White Lotus | |
| pilot and have failed every time, but I'll keep trying, maybe. | |
| We're also just now starting Treme (from the creators of The | |
| Wire, ran from 2010-2013), but that's slow going because we both | |
| know it'll rip out our hearts and stomp on them. | |
| [/quote] | |
| Update: Still loving Reservation Dogs | |
| I finally got through the White Lotus pilot and figured out what | |
| was tripping me out about it - they're REALLY good with the | |
| camera angles and they keep reminding you you're a voyeur spying | |
| on these people. I feel like I'm watching this show while | |
| hunched down in the bushes wearing a trench coat. | |
| Also we caught the first episode of the Wonder Years | |
| reboot/reimagining! It's really good! I never thought of Dul� | |
| Hill as a patriarch but he's knocking it out of the park. | |
| [/quote] | |
| White Lotus is worth powering through the first couple of | |
| episodes to get invested, IMO. It was really well done and after | |
| it was over I thought it about for days. | |
| This has spoilers but is a great read after you finish watching: | |

| Nine Perfect Strangers is a poor man's White Lotus. Still poking | |

| I might never get around to reading that article at this rate. | |

| Molly Shannon is your mother??? I could see that making it | |
| uncomfortable to watch. She's not around for long - 2 episodes | |
| maybe? | |
| We have watched 3 shows lately that have had teenage suicide in | |
| them and as a mom to an almost teenager, I'm having a really | |
| hard time with it. Like I go to bed feeling so worried and sad - | |
| which is NOT the goal of unwinding with TV at night. I need to | |
| pay closer attention to the trigger warnings at the beginning of | |
| the episodes. | |

| After coming across a couple of posters nattering about it the | |
| other day (cant recall who, sadly), I finally watched Donnie | |
| Darko. | |
| What a bizarro flick (in a good, Twin Peaks-kinda way). Jake G | |
| was such a young pup! And the soundtrack was fantastic. I'll | |
| definitely watch it again to see what I missed the first time. | |
| Thanks for reminding me to see it, whoever you are ... | |

| That is such an underrated film. It came out around 9/11 when | |
| the airplane scene was not something anyone wanted to watch. | |
| It's fun seeing the real life Gyllenhall siblings play them in a | |
| movie. | |
| I'm a huge Tears for Fears fan so I love the soundtrack as well. | |

| I'm rewatching The Professional (Jean Reno & (yay! Gary Oldman) | |
| (1994). | |
| I'd seen it once in the mid-90s on a tv movie channel and | |
| remember liking it. | |
| Well, I just realized the 12yr old kid is none other than | |
| Natalie Portman in her first acting gig ! | |
| What a surprise: she was a total nobody back when I'd seen it. | |

| Rick has been out of town so I watched a documentary I knew he | |
| wouldn't be interested in - The Way Down: God, Greed, and the | |
| Cult of Gwen Shamblin. It's on HBO Max | |
| Gwen and a bunch of her church leadership were killed in a plane | |
| crash in Tennessee before they had finished filming the | |
| documentary so that made for a weird twist in the story. They | |
| addressed it at the beginning and the end and then focused on | |
| how screwed up it all was the rest of the time. They had several | |
| long term church members (like 10+ years) speak out. | |
| I do remember the weight loss movement that got her started. I | |
| don't think we had it at my dad's church but other local | |
| churches did the program. It was like Weight Watchers with a lot | |
| of praying. | |
| There is also a story line with a couple who "lost" their | |
| daughter when she became romantically involved with a church | |
| member. It was such a Hax letter. They did not make it easy for | |
| her to try and maintain relationships with both them and her | |
| boyfriend/fiance/husband. Lots of demands about her wedding and | |
| things like that. | |
| Anyway, good watch. I have moved on to LulaRich on Amazon Prime. | |
| I have never owned any Lularoe clothing but so far it is | |
| interesting. | |
