What are you watching? (2026)

We did not watch Love Story but I did appreciate this opinion piece Daryl Hannah wrote in the NYTs

Made me think about how often this might happen. (may of reached my share limit, hopefully the link will work)

You reached your limit. The show obviously contains ‘material’ that it would seem impossible for anyone to know and must be made up. Many of the more public incidents are factual in their main elements, but the personal details have got to be fiction. I recall reading that Darryl Hannah said the parts about her were untrue and I’d take her at face value.

A main theme of the series focuses on the incredibly invasive elements of being in the spotlight at an unimaginably high level. These things happened 25+ years ago and I’d think would be vastly more impossible to live with in today’s media environment. Can’t imagine having anything remotely like a normal life.

Here is a gift link to Daryl Hannah’s opinion piece that should work fine.

Thanks. It’s essentially what I recall reading about.

There were a few things on deck we debated watching last night — the Will Arnett standup flick is available for free now, the sequel to the fantastic Sisu is available for streaming as well, and Train Dreams, which has been on our watchlist forever.

Instead, we watched a quirky Quanadian coming-of-age movie about an obnoxious teenager (I realize that’s an oxymoron) obsessed with movies, aptly named I like movies.

Sweet, awkward, and with a great performance by Veronika Slowikowska, whom neither of us had ever heard of or seen.

She’s now a cast member on Saturday Night Live.

Oh, wow. I’d not noticed her there yet. I’ll keep an eye out.

I read the book and got annoyed with the book’s implausibility, so I never watched the first season. It seems to be a thing where a series is made from a book and then they make up more events to have a second season. Big Little Lies did that to the original book and stretched it out way too long.

The latest two installments of Neighbors and Born to Bowl — both highly enjoyable in their own way, both on Haitch Bee Oh.

Unlike previous Neighbors episodes, this one focuses on just one fellow citizen desperate for like-minded friends who may possibly swear more than I do (a feat). You better like floppy wieners (like, a LOT) for this one.

Lots of swearing in the bowling show, too. It was a rowdy night at casa lingua :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Same. I went in knowing all the hype and it exceeded my expectations. The first PTA film I have seen and I was blown away. Some the best cinematography I have seen-- particularly the desert driving.

Yeah. Couldn’t make it through the trailer. Love the people in the cast and creators, but zero interest.

How could I forget that we also watched Train Dreams before the silly shows.

Beautifully done, gorgeous cinematography, very moving.

I loved Train Dreams.
Am I the only one who watched the Peaky Blinders movie. Do not unblur if you plan on watching. I thought immortal meant you never died?This text will be blurred

It’s probably on the agenda for us tonight. That, or the Will Arnett movie.

Thx for the blur in any event!

I tried watching it, stopped after about 45 minutes. I might give it another go

It’s a good show! In its way.

Interested to see what you all think of the newest Taylor Sheridan series The Madison on Paramount+. We’re really enjoying it through the first 2 episodes but the critics reviews I’ve seen are pretty dismal. Maybe we’re just in need of something a bit lighter right now. It seems very different, in a good way, from what we’d expect from Sheridan. Maybe that’s what the critics are about.

We watched the first two episodes of American Classic with Laura Linney and Kevin Kline. So far, so entertaining.

We have seen the first 4 episodes and are enjoying it. Michelle Pfeiffer is excellent, and deserves an Emmy. Be sure to have a box of Kleenex handy, if you decide to watch. It is very different than most Taylor Sheridan shows.
