My daughter and I went to see Cats because I was working at a movie theater at the time and could get in for free. We sat in the way back of the theater, away from the handful of others there, so she could live tweet it. That made it a little fun.

"Because all of my filth is arranged in alphabetical order. This, for instance, is under 'H' for "toy.""

Good point and I like the changes you would have made. My nitpicky thing is that, unless I missed something, I can't believe that Riley would have been accepted onto a team after the stunts she pulled on the ice. Yes, she was anxious and that's a very real emotion, but, while it explains her behavior, it doesn't excuse it. To me, it showed that she was a bit too young to handle the pressures a more advanced team.

Gordon Ramsey was in a bad biking accident and recorded this message. Be warned, at the end, he shows part of the wound. He had to have been hit by a car.

Twice now I've been to a movie where some of the audience cheers when they see the trailer for Beetlejuice 2. Am I the only one who really didn't like the first movie?

"Self realization. I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates who said "I drank what?"

I just got back from seeing it and I really liked it. There were a lot of laughs from adults, including myself, who obviously got the emotions and remembered what it was like to be 13. I did feel like something was missing this time, but I can't quite put my finger on it. Overall, though, it was a great sequel.

I watched it this afternoon. I agree with you @Sweet-tea that it was like watching a therapy session. But, I liked it. It was nice to see that at least a couple of them could explain to him how it was a blessing in disguise. Yet, I can also understand being that age and being immediately turned off by the word "brat". I also wish Molly and Judd had participated. I'd like to think that it would have helped them heal a little bit, too. Maybe one day, when they're each alone, they'll put it on and rethink their feelings on the situation. I was a teenager when those movies came out and loved most of them. I'm actually surprised, though, that they included John Cryer and not Anthony Michael Hall. I'm have listed him as part of the brat pack before John. Boy, does Emilio look like his dad! He even has some of the mannerisms. The fist bump was great way to end it and the lyrics to "Don't You Forget About Me" at the end of the show had even more significance. It was a great section of the song to end it with.

I enjoyed most of John Hughes' films when they came out, but looking back now, I'm not interested in watching any of them again, although, there are certain scenes and/or quotes from them that I still find funny. But, overall, I don't enjoy them like I used to when I was younger. Except..... She's Having a Baby. Imo, it's the best of the John Hughes movies that I've seen and I can still watch it today.

Beware if you are the spouse/partner/child of a law enforcement officer (especially Federal law enforcement) or a politician--you will more than likely be kidnapped for a political ideal or murdered as retribution.

The only tv show that I've been able to suspend disbelief over the horrible things that a character in law enforcement does is 24, but then, that was kind of the premise of the show: Get the bad guys asap and at all costs. Otherwise, I'll give shows a little leeway, but something like what's being described on Hawaii 5-0 is a bit much-especially if it's a regular thing.

I saw Back to Black yesterday. I knew nothing about Amy Winehouse and only knew two of her songs, although, someone would have had to tell me that she was the artist singing them. I only went because a friend I hadn't seen in a while invited me and had gift cards. Wow. It was not good, even beyond the portrayal of Amy herself (the actress was good, though, and did a great job covering her songs). There was nothing engaging or even interesting about it. There was very little sympathy shown for her. They showed very little of the outside forces in her life that may have made you feel a little bit for her (at best, they touched on her deep love for her grandmother-those were some nice moments). She was mostly portrayed as pushy, conceited from the beginning, and as a violent drunk. I've scanned 2 or 3 articles and according to them, the movie was fairly accurate. My son, however, claims that she was treated horribly by the press (they did show some of that) and taken advantage of by the industry by forcing her to perform knowing that she had a drug and alcohol problem (you didn't see much of her manager or other industry people). I just don't know what to think. It was just a bit boring and I left not caring much for her at all.

Dogs barking can't fly without umbrella. Which means "enemy nearby, can't escape without cover". Points to you if you know what movie that's from.

@Bastet I was thinking of starting a topic on Terms of Endearment because I saw the last half of it a couple of weeks ago and I was struck by how many sad, but amazing, moments there were towards the end of that movie. "Give my daughter the shot" rocked, but the way Shirley McClaine broke down after Emma died was a masterclass in acting. The way she accepted comfort from her son in law, who she didn't particularly care for, and the fact that he offered it was touching. When she was going through the ordeal, her neighbor, who'd dumped her because he was afraid of the commitment, shows up for a few days to support her. When Emma is saying goodbye to her kids ::sob::. Her neighbor taking her granddaughter's hand and talking about dance lessons, then telling her grandson that it was ok to leave the after funeral gathering to go see his house and pool. Such understanding from a man who was afraid of commitments. The whole movie was great, but that final act was brilliant.

He was also the guy in War Games who convinced the government to try out a computer as a way of replacing the humans in charge of the nuclear weapons.

Jaeden Martell in St. Vincent was wonderful. He did a great job against veteran Bill Murray.

I liked her in that and St. Vincent.

Tom Holland was really good in The Impossible.

Oops! Thanks for pointing that out. As for superior, I their both great in different ways 😀

I liked it, but it did have it's issues. It really could have been much shorter--a few scenes went on way too long--but overall, it's a nice love letter to Hollywood stunt men and women. Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt are charming, as always, and Ryan once again shows off how good he is at humor. And there was something about that I can't quite put my finger on, but it was reminiscent of an 80s type of movie and that made me smile. It was good, silly, fun. Edited: Wrong Ryan. ☺️ I fixed it.

I've been to different cities over the years, I've lived right off off of Hollywood Blvd and I've never seen groups of prostitutes hanging out. And, the few that I've seen haven't been wearing most of what I see on tv either. But, maybe I just haven't been by the right areas.

Funny that you should say that because I also that that was the perfect part for her.

I wish I could explain it, but for some reason I don't like Vanessa Kirby. I think maybe because, imo, she looks like a mean girl (for lack of a better explanation). I was disappointed that she was back in the latest Mission Impossible movie and, as a Marvel fan, even more so when I heard she was cast in Fantastic Four. It's not bad enough for me to not see a movie she's in, but she does rub me the wrong way.

I have mixed feelings over the commercial. I love animals, but would never put them above people, especially kids. However, I grew up in the 'rub some dirt on it' generation. My parents would've come to me if I couldn't come to them, but if I sounded like the kid in the commercial did, they wouldn't have been in a big hurry. If they were in the middle of something, they'd have probably asked if I could get a bandaid or did I need help, then said, "ok, hang on a minute " if I said yes.

We finally finished Mr. and Mrs Smith. It did not get better. In fact, by the next to last episode, we were still so bored with it that we decided to skip the finale for a while until we could get into the right frame of mind to watch it. If there's a season 2, we will not waste our time with it.
