Atlanta

I binged the first three eps on a lazy Saturday. I'm hooked. The actors have good chemistry and JH does a good job of being that charming and charismatic actor, but with something weird simmering just under the surface. If they eventually marry, I hope her lawyer BFF goes through the pre-nup with a fine toothed comb. I'm waiting for DeAnn to get sent to Gold Base. LOL

On a different topic, does this show make you want to take a yoga class? Been trying to incorporate more yoga and Pilates in my regular workouts.

I don't think this is spoilery, but it might help bring light/context to the Wright's financial situation..

Kristen S would never work. She has a career because of who her parents are. Yes, I've seen her in more than Twilight. I like that Shailene has a softness. Someone else mentioned that she has a babyface where everyone else is angular, face-wise. It adds a youth factor and innocence.

I think he's 5 years younger than Celeste in the book, but can't remember the exact ages.

Ugh. That's so depressing. I hope justice is served. I have friends in Clearwater. They want the CO$ gone.

:o Soon there will be whoispurplemonkey.com That's creepy.

I liked What Alice Forgot. I'd recommend it. BLL and WAF are the only LM books I've read so far.

She would suck the life out of this production. She's so monotone and dead behind the eyes. I actually don't mind SW. I just wish they'd stop with the running to the cliff scenes.

In regard to Nicole Kidman, Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise, I think $cientology is what ruined those marriages. I think when he was with Nicole, he started distancing himself and then Miscavige came in upped the brainwashing. Reading Leah Remini's book sheds some light on that cray cray. In the mid/late-90s I had an adjustable desk. The big buzzword was 'ergonomic' so everyone was getting wrist rests for their keyboards and the adjustable desk was also a biggie. Count me in on Team Black Leggings for when I exercise. :D

I want Jane to get arrested for DUI. Er, you're dealing with enough and your kid is too and then you decide to get high while driving around? Dunce.

Ugh. Adding more stuff that would have never happened in the book. Seriously. It's becoming a joke or a drinking game. The car accident never happened. It's becoming a series that's merely 'inspired' by a book rather than based on a book. Jane getting high while driving? Seriously? Mischa Barton called and wants her DUI back.

I agree. It would be a large nothing if Ziggy's father turned out to be someone we haven't met before.

Seems like bratty behavior.

I'm not sure the world can handle those fab genes. :D

Yep. Totally out of the blue. Is this lazy script writing? DEK relying on old Hollywood tropes? Hint, JMV/DEK we're over that crap. Not that they care.

Reese is originally from Nashville and Kidman is married to a country singer. Not surprised if they became good friends through that connection as well.

You owe me a new keyboard. I spewed Diet Coke all over it. LOLz

Spot on, Giesela. However, it was Bonnie that confessed, not Celeste. ;) LM incorporated spots of humor where the show has chosen to go completely dark. As I've said before, I'm most disappointed to the in Maddie and Ed's relationship. In the book, they were one of the few happy couples which was a nice break with all the angst. I loved Ed's snark. As far as Jane's rape or assault, the show makes it seem like rape, but in the book it's a bit more ambiguous. Was it rough sex? Was it rape? Ditto on if you are going to make a show or movie based on a book, give the book its due. I can understand the need for composite characters and condensing storylines for expediency, but to make the characters very OOC... IMO, that's wrong.

Yay! Almost finished with her book.

Lisa is stunning. Jason Momoa is a lucky dude. Her genes must contain glitter and gold, or something. lol

Hee! YogaFightClub! I took a yoga class at my gym and the teacher taught multiple classes a day at different gyms. I get she was tired teaching so much but she barely demonstrated the moves. You can't do that in exercise class, esp yoga. She no longer teaches there.

Ha ha! Yes! I remember that OC episode. I take a class that incorporates yoga, Pilates and Tai Chi. Don't like the Maddie and play director plot. Someone mentioned that this should have been a movie rather than a 7 part series. They're throwing stuff in for the sake of throwing stuff in IMO. Tired of seeing Nicole/Celeste naked. Is this to draw male viewers? Poor Ed. I think he's just awkward and not a Pervy McPerv. As a straight woman, I'd give Zoe's body a double take and then ask what she does to maintain it so I can find that class. LOL At first, I thought she was teaching kickboxing.

Kelly is making Maddie very OOC. I loved book M and E's relationship and she'd never be a cheater. Not in a thousand years. She mentions him getting sexier as he gets older. Talk about character assassination. The play issue is annoying. This never happened in the book. They were working on a harmless production. Celeste wasn't a pot head either. Not that DEK and Co care, but this show is losing me. I may just wait to watch the last ep. He's making LM's book a typical Hollywood farce. Drug usage=check. A cheater outside of the book characterization=check. Extraneous f-bombs=check. She's a producer. Did she okay this crud? There was enough going on without the 'padding.' Call me a prude, but the book never bugged me like this. Is this HBO and DEK being desperate to be edgy?

Was this epi trying to set a record for F-bombs? Your desperation to be edgy is showing. Kelley is ruining these characters.
