The Holiday Mismatch turned out to be an okay watch. Not an all time favorite, but definitely watchable. I'm a crocheter, so I was hoping that Caroline Rea was going to give Beth Broderick her own granny square sweater at the end.

More tooth flossing! Yuck. The mom who has her own bachelorette party, what an attention whore. And she wakes up in the morning thinking of her son first—before her own new husband.

I have not even been able to bring myself to watch this episode.

I'm looking forward to this. I set it to record. I used to watch the sitcom.

Well I learned some new Star Trek trivia vocab!

Christine’s ring was really ugly. I don’t like marquise stones in particular, and this ring had too much going on. Three or four metals. Filigree. There’s a Yiddish word for this overdone ornate fussiness: Ungepatchka. Yes, it has a negative connotation. Robyn was just too much in this episode. I did not understand that word salad about the choice of Robyn’s house.

Carol for Two is very good. The two leads have great voices and have both been in Wicked. I really liked Ginna Clare in Heidelberg Holiday last year. I agree the cousin was too annoying. Oh yeah someone else just reminded me she was in the Rockettes movie too. I loved that one. The final song, “Who Knew,” really has the makings of a hit song. Very catchy.

I do not get this one. Please explain

This should not happen, because all books have used computerized typesetting since the 80s if not earlier. So they should have a correct digital version to upload to the ebook format. Crazy!!!

I'm catching an oldie (from 2013), which I'd never seen. A Very Merry Mixup. Couple meets cute during auto accident and girl goes to meet wrong prospective inlaws. True love ensues. It's really good. Also funny. The real mother-in-law to be is a character! The best Hallmark Christmas movies are the funny ones.

Answering my own question about Harlan County. This article has some info about how Kopple filmed in the mines. Some subterfuge, some use of alternate locations. https://www.widescreenings.com/harlan-county-barbara-kopple-analysis.html The article also has some interesting perspective on the policeman/miner convo.

Must be because of the shared last name LOL.

I was going to use an asterisk LOL. I realize that her age info is all over the place. She discussed those Oscars in the TCM interview. I wrote more about this on the TCM thread.

Well I tried one episode and I don’t know if it’s for me. I dislike most podcasts. Too dragged out.
