  1. I don't want anymore Beverly Rose episodes either because her voice is so distracting (and kind of scary). And I too am sure the little girl is a lovely child.
  2. I always assumed that was a Harvard/Radcliffe thing. Yes. I saw this movie in the theater when it was a new release. The guy that took me cried and I was second-hand embarrassed for him. Anyway, that closing line did get slammed in the press at the time because it is such patent bullsh*t. I read the book before seeing the movie. Also, Diane steals that paperback in the movie Drugstore Cowbow! So much more than you ever wanted to know.
  3. Hoop Dreams is now streaming on Peacock. I just finished watching it (almost 3 hours long) and I really enjoyed it. I'd seen it in the theater when it first came out. William and Arthur were both screwed over again and again. It was one step forward, two steps back. The moms were such powerful forces for both men, who were just kids when the documentary started. The startling contrasts of moving from Chicago's Cabrini-Green housing projects to nearly all-white schools, and the 3-hour round trip to get there and back every day, must have been extremely difficult. I give these boys so much credit for adapting as well as they did. Arthur's hatred and disrespect for his father, while understandable, was heartbreaking. The odds are so stacked against even the most talented athletes in these situations, and this documentary really showed that. And all for the love of the game. Edited to add The Fighter to this post. I hate boxing but this movie was just really good, even though I shut my eyes through most of the actual boxing scenes.
  4. I apologize. I didn't mean to criticize you and I respect your choices. And may I say that I also respect what you're doing, listening to every song on every album by a given band. That's what I call A Music Fan!
  5. That song by the Easybeats reminds of Friday I'm in Love by The Cure. Same lyric structure. That song by Badfinger was monster back in the day. I was dancing around the room when it started playing during Breaking Bad.
  6. What I'm listening to is Oasis, always Oasis.
  7. Rushmoras, you rushed right past the best Pink Floyd song ever written. Other song writers agree with this assessment. The guitar solos are astronomic. It's hugely popular for a reason. But then, I love Led Zeppelin too so maybe we'll agree to disagree!
  8. "Cowboy up." No, cowboy out. OK, now I get what you're hinting at, nokat and RoseAllDay. I really hated that wussy bosun after Kyle "resigned," going around telling everyone to make sure they say goodbye to Kyle. What the actual fuck, man. You can't force people to give respect to someone who deserves none. Just because you were afraid of him means nothing to others. I was proud of the deckie who told Kyle to his face that he was a jackass. The previews looked interesting and scary.
  9. I was surprised to see Charles working so hard to get the queen to abdicate. It was a story line in more than one episode. If that part was true, Charles was a real prick. The actress playing Camilla was too attractive. The hair was right (easy to do that), but the real Camilla's face was very weather-worn and horsey even at that age. I hate Camilla. The actress playing Blair's wife was a good fit. I saw her display Cheri's fugly smile/grimace a couple of times. So with the change in prime minister, we must now say goodbye to John "Sick Boy" Major. Johnny, we hardly knew ye.
  10. That is not a put-on accent. He is British. He is from Sheffield.
  11. Casting really knocked it out of the park with Charles Spencer. In the first split second, I actually thought it was him. And no, I don’t know why I thought that was possible. For the first time, I didn’t have to struggle with “Who is that supposed to be?”
  12. He's so arrogant, even down to the way he walks. It's hard to explain but he kind of leans his face forward like he's getting ready to head butt someone. That and the kiss are so aggressive. And then later in the episode he wraps his arms around her from behind and she says nothing. Ugh. That should be strike 2.
  13. Oh wow, man. I didn't realize this. Never mind then.
  14. But how can that be? They are not really related. How can Harris resemble Roseanne? Mark is painfully thin. It looks like his legs are going to break at any moment.
  15. Her voice is HORRIBLE. Does she add an affectation to her own voice or is that real? I was really freaked out when I heard it.
  16. Thanks Tanukisan. She's a chav, not an Essex girl. Either way, my ears are bleeding.
  17. @iMonrey, I love ya, but this comment hit too close to home for me. Mental illness is no joke, and neither are psych wards. And I know you didn't mean to hurt anyone. OTOH, I love this: "Kyle? Meet karma." Spot on.
  18. Or as she says, Chief SHTEW. Is she what they call an Essex Girl? Telling the stews to do professional-level makeup and full blow-outs when greeting the new guests. Is that a priority? I thought it was funny when the other two stews were back and forth and contradicting each other about having worked together on a prior ship. Seems the one with the narrow face is not very self-aware and, hugs aside, they are not friends. The stew with the wider face reminds me of Clare from Derry Girls. I haven't sorted out the deck crew yet but I know I don't like the cowboy. Why was I not surprised when he said he was from Texas? I mean no disrespect but there is definitely a certain .. vibe .. to some Texans. Sorry/not sorry. I don't like him. ETA: It looks like the Texan chews with his mouth open. THE biggest turn off in the world. That and his know-it-all attitude. God, I really don't like this guy. And his name is Kyle! What are the odds.
  19. I was watching a football game with my family and at one point during the game I sang out loud, "I am a lineman for the Raiders." Hilarity ensued.
  20. I wanted to punch that pancake fucker in the face. What an idiot. Is that what he eats at home? Why not try something new when you have a great chef at your disposal? Is this the same brain trust that wore his $nnn,nnn chain on a jet ski and then said about the crew that they'd better find it? And who even BUYS a $nnn,nnn chain? I have a bad cold so I'm in a bad mood and this guy is really putting me over the edge. Just stay home with your chain and your pancakes, dumb ass, and get off my screen. Damn cold. I want my Mommy! Sorry for the rant.
  21. So much this. Every week I'm surprised when they mention Kevin. He's just so nondescript I guess that I forget he's there.
  22. The young daughter charter guest named Grace -- her upper teeth are really short or her upper lip is extra long or SOMETHING because it looks like she has no upper teeth. Her whole mouth looks like a scary dark chasm. In other words, she looks like a meth addict (but I know she's not). When they do show her teeth, they're not the neon-glow white that rich people usually have and they're kind of scraggly. It's very distracting. And poor Natasha (not). Mark my words. All through the next episode she'll be whining about missing Kyle and she'll never have what she had with Kyle and she can't cope without Kyle. Then we'll all know for sure that she's a shit chief stew.
  23. OK, this is weird. I'm watching the first Poltergeist movie and something hit me like a ton of lead. In the middle of the movie, while all of the creepy stuff is going on, disheveled and sleep-deprived Craig T. Nelson looks exactly like disheveled and alcoholic/hungover Shep. He even sounds like Shep and has the same body type. Mind you, Poltergeist was made in 1982 so this is Craig T. Nelson 40 years ago, but he's a dead ringer to Shep today. Must point out that @AliceinBlunderland mentioned the resemblance on Twitter in 2015. In her words, "Once you see it, it cannot be unseen."
  24. OK, now I get it. Fenty simply air brushed Kane's ridiculous cheek fillers away. Now I can accept him being there and I stand corrected. I'm on a later episode now and I'm LMFAO. Stoopid Kevin just bought his first new car, drove it out of the dealership, and 10 MINUTES LATER got into a big accident (his fault) and is being issued a citation. You can't make this shit up. He's such a damn fake and he's so dumb. I'm going to re-watch the hell out of this. What a stooge. Does he even have car insurance yet? I don't think you can buy a new car without proof of car insurance.
  25. I'm watching Season 3 E3 and what the FUCK with that giant, feathered monstrosity Jamie was wearing. She is my definition of one-dimensional, both in personality and body type. Her body is like that of a stick insect (there's thin and then there's THIN), and the only thing in life that interests her is shopping. Yawn. Kane is the biggest shit-stirrer and liar ever. I'm sure someone that's not Rihanna is sending him texts as Rihanna because there's no way in hell Kane's face will become the face of Fenty. And if I'm wrong, I'll eat my hat. Forgot to mention this but, as someone on the show mentioned, Kim Lee really is a loud person, and her laughter is more of a screeching cackle. I can see where that could be annoying to some people. Also, I wish I was as zen as Anna. Her temperament is foreign to me as I suffer from anxiety. I really like Anna.
