  1. I started crying when they started to dance, and Daniel looked *happy*. That song always makes me cry, though - and it reminds me of my mum, who had the UB40 album when I was a kid. I didn't mind Chloe in this episode, for the most part. I tried to turn on CC, when I couldn't make out what Ted said, but my DVR is messed up, and it wouldn't show the words, even though it said that it was on.
  2. I haven't seen Downton Abbey - my parents and sister watched it, though, and Dad was the one to tell us to give this show a try. I saw an advert for it this morning, so I found the episodes on-demand. I like it, but I'm also against the whole "you're going to work for me" thing, with this guy controlling her every move. They do have great chemistry, but I don't find it sexy at all. I noticed her slip in the accent occasionally, but she's doing much better than I ever could (and I started out with an American accent, as a kid). I'll keep watching on-demand, later on. I needed a distraction today, so I'm glad I found it on there. I should have known it was created by Blake Crouch. I've read a few of his books (or skimmed, when they got annoying). The few books I read, seemed to have a high body count, and the actress did a good job showing/expressing that horror when it comes to his killing.
  3. I was thinking the same thing. The last few episodes had me thinking, "here comes the 'this is a touching moment' music." Teddy made me laugh, when he shot himself in the leg, and at the beginning, when he said something about having to get something done before his wife got home.
  4. A bomb attached to Murtaugh's toilet. I should be better at this - I watched all three movies, a few months ago.
  5. And this is why I should read the first page - and watched the first movie again. I haven't watched it for years and years, and have totally forgotten everything except for the robots, and the main characters.
  6. I was a fan of the original, when I was a kid, but hadn't really watched anything else related to Star Wars (I remember others watching the sequels to the first one, and vaguely paid attention to The Force Awakens, last week), but I mostly liked this. I almost changed my mind, except several friends of mine were raving about it. I had no idea what this was about, not even that it was a prequel - was that a twist? I need to read the first page of this thread. :) I looked at my dad, and said, "I wonder if anyone from the other movie, is in this." Sometimes, I wish they'd use more unknowns for things like this, because I sat there thinking, "Hannibal!" "The guy from 'The Night Of!'" and so on. I wondered if Peter Cushing was still alive - I think it's great that they can do things like that, but I finally pulled out my phone (sound off), hid it underneath my coat, and googled the cast. Loved the snarky robot. He was my favourite. The pilot, and the blind guy and his friend - loved them, too. My dad had no interest in Star Wars, but they had him laughing. I was sad that everyone died, but the ending had everything else making sense (the mostly new cast, at least to my knowledge, everyone dying).
  7. I love this thread. I know I've said that before, but it always amuses me. :)
  8. The teacher going back for her boys, made me cry. I wish there had been more to the ending (I also thought the dance had more of a WTF effect on the shooter), and I'd like to know what happened to the others. I missed her getting shot, though - I thought she was still running when they started their dance. I also wondered if that guy planted the books, or if he'd made comparisons to The Illiad, so she ordered the book, and others that related to her experience. She was blind before, so the Amazon order must have been a recent thing.
  9. I wouldn't mind that. We have all of these older actors paired with much younger women. I don't think I'm interested in seeing this movie in the theatre. Maybe on DVD.
  10. I'm so sorry :( I mentioned here, that I lost mum in July. We also have had at least one major death every year starting with 2010. I won't be able to take another one.
  11. What was that scene, after the credits?? My DVR cut it off, every time (it records every episode). It looked like Gabriel, in the dark, at the fence.
  12. I also wondered if Abbott knew his fate. :( I loved the movie, saw I last night - finally. We tried twice before, and it was always almost full, so my family wouldn't have been able to sit together.
  13. I watched, because my sister still loves it. I mostly kept my eyes on something else, after Negan removed Carl's bandage, and when he used the iron. He's gross, as well, when talking to, and about, the women. Keeping them to have sex with others (with his approval), is also disgusting. I can't remember much more about it. Spencer, as usual, is also annoying. Nice to see FPP setting him straight.
  14. Ezekiel seems to like Carol. I think she should have someone, too. I love Michonne, and I suppose they could still have her pair up with someone else, but I don't want to see Carol given the boot (if she does end up having a relationship with Ezekiel - they haven't taken us back, to see if that was anything more than a friendly visit).
  15. I don't leave the house every day, but when I do, I've been known to be so tired when I get home, that I fall asleep in my clothes. I much prefer not to, and to shower and change instead. My sister just teased me about how I used to walk into my room, and basically fall on the bed. She'd see my feet sticking out, like the wicked witch, when she was crushed by a house.

    Not me. I'd only seen "Winter" at the time, and have only just seen "Spring". I did run into some spoilers in another thread, but I hadn't seen the post, warning about that sort of thing. It was my own fault for checking out things like "unpopular opinions" and the relationship thread. I also thought that Mitchum looked exactly the same, and so did Lulu. I liked Kirk's film, but missed a few things, and will have to watch it again.

    That made me laugh, too - the way she just started tap-dancing as she lost the book deal with the English woman. Also, the nanny refusing to go upstairs. I hadn't thought of that. I was kind of disappointed that she had a meltdown, but it's in-character. Even though she's successful, she's still Paris. I didn't like the bathroom part, until Francie showed that she was still just as petty - then I laughed. Haha! I missed the part that someone else mentioned, about the kids filing out of the classrooms, because my sister was talking to me, but I did hear that bit. I also liked the teacher running away from her - the one she called out a "hello" to. It reminded me of the Senators all announcing that they needed the bathroom, to get away from her, at the beginning of season three. The therapist part once again reminded me of me and my mother. We were best friends for most of my life, but she would have done the exact same thing (and she loved Emily). She would have expected someone else to change, not her (at least until she chose to, of her own accord), and she also didn't see the point in paying someone to disagree with her - that had me laughing out loud. I told my sister, and that gave her a good laugh, too.

    I thought this, as well.
  19. I don't know where to put this: it bugs me when Jackson starts yelling at Rory, out of nowhere, when he finds out about her trying to make that massive pizza for her mother's birthday. Ranting about Sookie being a chef, and how he's a produce man. Ugh!!
  20. Thank you. I was almost falling asleep as the episode went on - I watched it at 4am - so I missed some of it.
  21. Where do I find what Olivia did to Sloane? I mean, which episode, if there was something before last night? I haven't seen all of the episodes. Thanks.
  22. Ah, I've been skimming like crazy, because I've only seen "Winter" and didn't mean to stumble across so many spoilers. I thought they'd be contained for now. :) I didn't mind the Jess scene before, not because I thought they belonged together, I just saw him as someone from "home" (Stars Hollow), speaking for everyone. She was already missing school - looking longingly as the new kids arrived and got settled in, when she went to see Logan. Lorelai had to point out to Christopher, that Rory had been making her own choices for years, when he accused her of turning Rory against him. So I just saw him as the catalyst, that could have been someone else. Sure enough, once she decided she wanted to go back to school, she went on to move back to Stars Hollow, get back into school, get a job, and got herself back on track. I'm a bit sad to hear that Logan is a scumbag. I didn't think that he was, in the original series.
  23. I had to go shopping for something to wear to mum's funeral, since I live in jeans, little tops, and yoga pants. We were in black, and my uncle walked up and said, "There are other colours, you know!" He was in grey and white.
  24. Me, too. What I dislike, is this new villain coming along to totally crush this man and his ego, directly after they finally got together. I was one of the people who saw chemistry between them ages ago, and I loved it when they finally got together. So, of course, they end up in a situation where he's suddenly being emasculated in front of this really strong woman, being told over and over that he's the reason people are dead. Not that Negan is a sociopathic, narcissistic asshole, who needs to take out any competition, and to be revered by everyone (or at least utterly feared). I love that the women are stepping up and wanting to fight, I just loathe the timing (and Negan). Don't get me started on Spencer.

    Yeah, I found it funny, too. I get it. I wanted a life like that, too, only I didn't want to be in the spotlight. I was moved all over the place, too, so when I finally got some stability in my twenties, I was hesitant to throw myself into another uncertain situation. I lived in two different countries, moved back and forth, throughout my childhood. Born in England, moved to the US when I was a baby, back to England after several years, back to the US when I was 15. And then moved to the most boring town in Ohio (it was actually named that, in a poll).
