  1. There are two movies or mini series coming out about Gypsy and DeeDee. One on Lifetime stars Marcia Gay Hardin as DeeDee and will air at the end of the month. 

    The other has Patricia Arquette as DeeDee, not sure when that will come out . I think it will be on premium cable. Arquette was very good as "Tilly" Michell in Escape at Danamorra.

    I am looking forward to them. I hope we get some new details.

    One thing that I thought was interesting because the shows try and make every victim featured an amazing special snowflake that no one could compare too was that the stories about him were he once got into a water balloon fight with his niece and also once treated his brother to an expensive vacation. Not suggesting that he deserved to die but I got the impression that he was a douchetastic asshole in life. The assistant had more positive stories about the murder than the victim.

    I found the victim to be rather unlikable. We would all like to follow our dreams but we all have to eat. Way too much time spent on remembering stories of him.

    Darcy was extraordinary!  I worry about her nomination potential since so few follow the show to begin with it would be hard to comprehend how well she pulled this episode off without understanding the other characters. Here’s to hoping it can be explained to voters. 

    As to destination weddings/themes, here’s a batshit post that I saw shared on twitter, which I think helps justify all the deductions!

    This can't be real. I don't think these people will make to the good place for other reasons.

    Remember this case....the mom in pigtails.

    It’s been solved, his remains found, and his wife and his best friend, who married his wife, arrested.  So happy for the mom.  She didn’t appear on the show.

    https://people.com/crime/people-magazine-investigates-mike-williams-disappearance-efforts-mother-cheryl/ 

    I remember this on Disappeared.  I remember at the time thinking it would not be solved. So much time had passed. 

    And his mom worked so hard and was so desperate and even gave up rights to see her granddaughter because she continued to work on the case. Just so glad the "best friend" could not take it any longer and the wife may get life.  Happy it was solved.

    Do you ever wonder how many undetected crimes might be uncovered, if cops reviewed the surveillance tapes of Walmarts, between say 1AM-5AM, and followed up on those who bought bleach, heavy duty trashbags, with priority to buyers of chainsaws?
    (I love surveillance tape shows, and always watch See No Evil reruns.)

     

    A show on NBC called Superstore had that very topic.  The manager is trying to be more personal with their shoppers and comments on one man's cart contents containing...a tarp, duct tape,shovel and asked where the bleach was. Kind of a shout out to all the murder shows. He was later in the knife section making stabbing motions.

    And this show is on at 7:00 pm. When I was a kid everything on TV was rated G. Anyhow a cute show.

  6. Well said, Mannahatta. There are times when I have a lot of copmpassion for a killer. When I see a master manipulater bring in their own children or other impressinal pople who would never commit muder. I really feel badly for them.

    I watched a show on ID( Murdertown) the other day where a young girl was killed and the police rushed to convict. It took about 2 weeks total. They went by the word of an eyewitness. I am bringing this up because it was sad, but also because her family never believed he was guilty becaause he knew little about the crime. Anyway, I like this new show.

    I am rather impressed with some of the new shoes on ID are they stepping up their game? I hope so.

    Yeah, no - I am not buying the "it was Satan, not the perp" BS the "pastor" was trying to sell.  Also, he showed so much compassion and so many tears for his murderous friend, but did he even show an iota of emotion for the innocent victim? I might have missed it in my state of outrage ...

    I had the same reaction. That minister made me mad, my anxiety was increasing watching him go on and on. I get the ministeries in prison. But Dead Man walking, that whole thing puzzles me. Unless you think they are innocent. I feel time would be better spent on people in need who did not murder anyone. It is misplaced compassion especially when they have advantages like this skateboard guy.

      I am against the death penalty also- but understand when a family member wants it because I probably would too. Where do we draw the line? The skateboarder was a creep and I don't think he needs to be out walking among us as Candice De Long says.

    Tahani's parents really are/were horrible people

    Glad she and her sister finally realized what they had done. 

    Eleanor's mom looks almost the same age as her.  I know part of that is how she dresses and acts and tries to make it seem like she is younger, but still was distracting to me. 

    Pretty good episode.  Not my favorite but had its moments. 

    The only thing about the Eleanor/mom storyline is I know I have seen that exact same plot used before about the changed mom and the daughter being upset she never changed for her, but I can't pinpoint in my brain was other show it was.  And I don't mean the kind of same idea, but almost exact same story

    Teachers.

    I wish this show had more episodes.  It was very good.  Maybe it was because there weren’t too many famewhores.  

    I thought that as well. People actually listened to each other and tried to see another point of view. Way too good for Bravo when where one is seated can be a major issue on thier Real Housewives shows.

  10. Regarding the Pizza Bomber, the doc was good and I am glad the maker of it wanted to know Brian Wells-with the collar bomb-story and involvement. I cried at the end because it seemed he was forgotten and blamed when to me he was a victim.

    Also, back to hating the FBI in probably an unreasonable way.I can't stand them . Have hated them since Buddy Jewel in the 1994 bombing at the Olympics.

    Rothstein and Margory were the smartest people in the room and the FBI guys came in second. Dumbasses.

    dear god, jamie lee curtis is an insufferable bitch. i didn't realize she thought so much of herself. nasty woman.

    and jeff goldblum in very small doses please.

    don't even know who the other younger guy is. rowan is ok but his movies are too juvenile.

    i actually deleted this about 1/2 thru. probably the first time ever for a graham norton show. 

    Agree, about Jaime she was very off putting in general but an ass to jeff. At least he was nice.

    I am glad the Lodge is saved-at least for now!  I was disappointed that we closed the season without the members knowing it was saved.

    I find myself wishing for a Lodge 49 of my own to join!  

    I feel that way too. Just a fun little place where you feel welcome.

  13. I liked that Jocelyn the English guy submitted his report, but stuck up for the lodge. It is about community. I would gladly join that lodge.

     

    I also like that Dud hangs out with all these older people and sees wisdom. I LOVE THAT.!

    Watching the "Twisted Sisters" from this week, wherein the stepmother is brutally murdered, it stood out to me that Lisa's ex-boyfriend, who provided a lot of the backstory, had broken up with her rather weirdly. He'd been in a relationship with her since 7th grade and this was post  graduation.  Some "friend" told him Lisa didn't love him and was just pretending because she needed a place to stay. So he broke up with her based on that! Seems kinda punky to me! Then again, she did turn out to be bad news. Hard to believe anyone could be so brutal.

    I am actually liking the show Twisted Sisters. Lasts' week was good. I also like the format. Last week I do think the girl interviewed was probably somehow involved. The other guy interveiwed said so and that he hated her.Really sad strory of lost teens.

    I watched the "A Deal with the Deviil" episode, and so many things frustrated me. I will admit that I don't know the ins and outs of the FBI, but they and the local police kept saying how smart Kimble was. I sort of think the FBI were just dumb. And Kaysi's mother simply pissed me off. 

    I was coming on here to say the same thing. She forgave him because she knew her daughter would.  And, she had no sympathy at all for Kimble's son or uncle. She was a piece of work, 

    Never been a fan of the FBI. They really screwed up.

    Thanks for this forum. I don't have to much to start off with, but I am 2 episodes in and I am hooked. In a strange way it reminds me of the movie "Local Hero", I don't know why.  I haven't seen "The Big Lebowski" so I guess I will need to do that to get the references.

    Love Local Hero. It is quirky and I like him hanging out with the older crowd

    I stumbled upon this on Netflix and was hooked from the first few minutes. It was totally enthralling and I watched every episode on a Saturday morning/afternoon. I felt like it fell apart a bit the last two episodes. I agree with every spoiled plot point above but it didn't stop my overall enjoyment.

     

    I was very impressed with Sarah Lancashire as Catherine and George Costigan as Nevison Gallagher. The rich Dad could have easily been stereotypical and one dimensional but wasn't. When Catherine

    fumbling accountants wife. Wow, what a shrew schemer she turned out to be. It reminded me of Bridget Fonda's character in a great 90's movie called A Simple Plan.

     

    One thing I was curious about was the revelation that her daughter had a

    consensual relationship with Tommy? So she wasn't raped? Why did she commit suicide? The brother said she was out of control and liked him? I didn't really understand that because liking someone doesn't mean you want to have sex with them.

    Yes so much like A Simple Plan.  I really liked that look and movie.

    Generally if you're prone to getting seasick - outside is better than inside - vertigo is worse and your equilibrium becomes non existent inside.

    If the boat was in danger of capsizing, you're actually safer outside because you'd be thrown from the boat. If you're inside and the boat flips, you will sink with the ship and it will be harder for you to get out of the cabin/enclosed space while it is sinking and you would be disoriented and may not know which way is up

    WOW scary thought.

    Has anyone else seen the commercials for a new show called Pink Collar Crimes that starts on CBS this weekend?
     

     

     

     

     

     

    Watched this. I thought the women was very smug. Kept saying "I am NOT a soccer mom."  

    She got out or her 3 year 8 month sentence and got a job with her mom and got remarried. Really no consequences that stuck with her. SMH
