  1. Up until today, it's only been available for purchase on Amazon Prime but now it can be rented, too, which I promptly did, and really enjoyed it! For the past few years, time sneaks up on me and at the last minute decide I really should watch a bunch of the nominated films and performances since I avidly watch the Oscars regardless and it would be much better to have an informed opinion! The only time I've set foot in a movie theatre in about the last 10 years was to see Godzilla Minus One--twice, because this 60-year-old woman loves Japanese monster movies! I much prefer to just stream movies on the small screen at home but knew that this one required the whole immersive big screen and popcorn experience. I think I'm in the minority because out of all the Best Pictures so far--I only have two left to watch this weekend but The Zone of Interest is still only available to purchase--I did not care for Oppenheimer at ALL! I think Killers of the Flower Moon and American Fiction are my favorites so far. I wasn't thrilled about seeing Sterling K. Brown in this, however, it turns out that he delightfully plays the complete opposite of the insufferable Randall from This Is Us (I even skip the Gordon Walker episodes during Supernatural rewatches)!
  2. I just finished watching it at home and, yes, it was interesting to see the French judicial system. A few times I interjected with an, "Objection! Calls for speculation." Also, apparently there's no such thing as therapist/patient confidentiality. I like the idea above that the dog snuggling up to her was a sign of her innocence...or maybe she's just the lesser evil than her canine-poisoning kid! Justice for Snoop!
  3. Damn it, I had just finally figured out who Lauren reminded me of and then she left: a cross between Mia Sara and Adelaide Kane.
  4. I'm finally reading the book about it, written by the owner's son, which is hysterically funny in his descriptions but also equal parts "my father was freakin' insane and no matter how many concerns we'd raise about the potential for serious injuries--or death--from some new ride he'd built, he didn't want to hear it." I'm thoroughly enjoying it, though, even if I am just getting around to reading it after it's been on my Kindle for about two years!
  5. Granted, I've never been in a sex shop before but does the merchandise normally include salesclerks...or just when it comes to contrived storylines? And the lack of even a half-hearted, "OMG, I'm so sorry, that was very inappropriate of me" makes it all the more suspect. Since when does providing great customer service include sexual harassment?
  6. It's not just poorer countries. I finally got to make my dream trip to see Paleolithic cave art in September in the south of France and there were flies in most of the food shops. Even in a big chain supermarket, they were on basically anything that wasn't in a sealed package. The meat, deli, and produce sections were near the back of the store so it wasn't as if the flies were just inside the entrances. In the little village I was staying in I was really looking forward to getting a freshly baked baguette but when I went into the small bakery nearly everything had flies on it, including all the bread! I ended up getting a couple of croissants from a bin under the counter because I didn't see any flies on/around them--and I didn't want to come across as "Don't y'all have health inspectors like we do in 'Merica?" I could clean the produce from the supermarket but baked goods, not so much!
  7. Although I understood why Mary and Brandon's mom didn't want to hug the first moment they met, when they were in the church I was hoping she'd give Mary a big motherly hug. It was really touching to see the positive shift in their relationship, though, even if it's primarily being in agreement about Brandon's lazy ass!
  8. If you're having a panic attack, pull. the. fuck. over! And who uses the description "witchy"? It's like she's trying too hard to be provocative. Is "Wiccan" too mundane? Although I guess to him, the semantics wouldn't matter. So far, I think Sophie is being an awfully good sport and I haven't seen any really spoiled behavior. I'm 60 but my mom and I always joked that when we're super tired we have the emotions of a four-year-old, albeit not directed at people but when it comes to the inability to just roll with it when some inanimate object is vexing us. I still remember my exhausted psych nurse mother breaking down in tears of gratitude when I did the simple task of washing her dishes! Even if I were still young, I'd be upset at not having a private bathroom. I'd at least put my makeup on with a portable mirror somewhere other than in that bathroom where there'd be no smells and better lighting. I mean, I know Gino quit his job--idiot!--but since he obviously wasn't motivated to do it himself, I'm sure he could have afforded to get a one-time housecleaner. Granted, I'm only two episodes in because I didn't know, for some reason, that there was a new season until I saw unfamiliar names over in the "Couples" thread so my first impressions may end up wildly varying. I'm impatiently waiting for the "mom in my closet" storyline, and am fairly certain I'll realize that when comparing the two studio-living situations, not having your own bathroom isn't *quite* so bad after all!
  9. I have a magnet that reads: "Watching '90-Day Fiance' makes me feel like I've exceeded-❤️-💲-🏠-expectations in all areas of my life."
  10. I was just thinking of this and was going to post it.
  11. Apparently, I was watching a different show because I thought it was terrible! I laughed once during the cold open and only a couple of times during WU, which was fewer times than usual for the latter. After watching several minutes of each skit and none getting any funnier I ended up fast-forwarding through nearly all of them. However, I didn't even have to wait to start FF when Sarah Sherman was on WU. Can't stand her!
  12. I like to sit on the living room carpet to stretch out my legs after sitting in a desk chair all day. Getting up off the floor, however, is another matter, and at 60 years old, it's not going to get any easier. Last year I started amusing myself by doing a triumphant gymnast 'sticking the landing' flourish after I've gotten up! This year I added it to times when I effortlessly get up out of a chair. Makes me laugh and that's all that matters!
  13. I was surprised to find myself thinking, I wouldn't mind being friends with her and I bet she'd be fun to hang out with! 😲
