nora1992

Superficial of me, but it was a welcome change that it wasn’t the spouse this time.

Ever watch 30 Rock? You and those writers have something in common.

Thanks for posting this. I hadn’t read it before. There’s an awkwardness to the writing compared to his previous works. Maybe the whole Swan fallout distracted some people from talking about the lack of quality in this piece. It reads like bad pulp fiction. Capote wrote some impactful and beautiful prose; this is not good.

I loved the comments about 1) opening the window first and 2) just unplugging it. The tv dialogue echoed my family room chit-chat.

Apologies are done for the benefit of the person making the apology? My definitions and worldviews are obviously out of sync with….everything, apparently.

All the predictions about George and Sheldon’s knocking are fulfilled. There are still unexplained scenarios, but you can tell the end approaches

I recently slogged through the snoozefest that was Napoleon. Everett was the best thing about the movie, nearly enough to not make me loathe it. It was a pleasant surprise, since I’ve only seen him in comic roles.

Thanks - I missed that. 10 days in….what year are we in now? Around 1996, it would take 2 weeks to get a letter to the UK. Is everything more efficient in Germany?

Just how fast was the mail supposed to travel? The letters seemed to travel at the speed of email.

Maybe it’s my own experience of in-laws, but I can see reasonable doubt in the case against Kouri Richins. If the glass the allegedly-fentanyl-laced drink was served in didn’t test positive for the drug, maybe it did come from something he took. And when he spent 4-5 months on hunting trips, were any of the kids with him? This is my own perspective, but I wouldn’t gush about how good a father any man was if he spends 1/3 of the year away from his kids for recreational purposes. Men who are deployed/assigned are exceptions; hunting antelope on the tundra are not the same. There are Betsy Faria vibes here.

Any chance Flower is just trapped in the vault?

I watched Young Sheldon and noticed the absence in a photo during the commercial break. After waiting months to find out, I could have waited another 8 minutes.

And yet Godejohn lived 26 years without killing anyone, whatever he might have wanted to do. The twisted duo of Godejohn and Gypsy didn’t exist for 26 days without a murder. Folie a deux is the driver of this case. Strange how she was able to lead a murder conspiracy, but not to go to a police station or different hospital or to her father before anyone died. She could find her own hitman, but nothing less extreme?

This episode felt rushed and slipshod. With all extra work we were told Scotland Yard faced this year, would it go out the way to put a vigilante in prison when he didn’t kill a known murderer? Nash seems a stronger match for Eliza. But he’s conveniently taken out so that we can stick with the more fairy-tale like Duke as a match. Shoehorn in the romance, since that’s the title of the series. I’ll still watch the series (but only because there’s not much else I want to see), but the show has treated Nash as a pathetic deus ex machina.

I think this does a better job of telling the story than Hoffman’s version. That movie highlights Hoffman’s performance; everything else is secondary. Infamous does a better job of putting the whole story into the larger context.
