Except Maverick had a history with Penny Benjamin, so the actress had to be old enough to have already had a relationship with him prior to the events depicted in the first film
I agree. After we watched TG2, we rewatched TG1 after not having seen it for decades. The acting was cringe. Val Kilmer was better in the comedy Top Secret than he was in TG1.
As for Maverick having no “sparkle,” I thought that was the whole point.
It’s this one

I was thrifting at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore one evening, maybe an hour before closing. They had just received a huge donation of DVDs; some items were still sealed but most were opened. A senior volunteer was shelving them on a media cart. I spotted a couple things of interest so I asked the volunteer how much the sets were. He said everything on the cart was 10 for a dollar, you must buy ten. Apparently they were just trying to get rid lf them without having to check each case to verify the discs were inside. I spent five dollars and got

and much more.
I don’t think that’s the miniseries; it seems to be a shortened version, made into a film? 🤷🏻♀️
Here’s the miniseries. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080274/
I picked up the dvd set of the earlier series last year, brand new, for 10¢. (Yep, ten cents.).
The resort absolutely would charge Olivia’s parents extra money for an additional person. Paula wouldn’t be able to access the infinity pool, the private beach, meals, entertainment, or other amenities without her resort bracelet.
Paula may not be in the same wealth class as Olivia, but she’s better off than Kai. She basically did to Kai what the government and the White Lotus did to Kai’s family and his people. (Got what she wanted from him aka exploited him, and left him worse off than he was when she found hiim.
I think Paula was invited to Hawai’i because Olivia loves having her around as her “poor” friend. It makes Olivia feel superior and powerful.
I hate the way it’s edited. It jumps around too much and doesn’t allow the viewer to settle in
I don’t have to like a character to be compelled by their story. Capote and the Swans are all awful people, but the scandals are juicy stuff, and the performances are excellent. And just because they’re awful doesn’t mean they don’t have feelings. They do, and their pain is as real as anyone else’s.
It helps if you watch The Capote Tapes (also on Hulu).
There’s a documentary on free streaming sites about the Windsors (ex King Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson) in which the real CZ Guest speaks about her friendship with them. Her topics are shallow, eye-rolling frippery, but fascinating because of how much she lacks self reflection, like she thinks the world values these unimportant details. But the truth is, the real story is how much these people value their expensive frippery — because that is ALL they have. What empty lives.
Btw, if you watch that documentary film, it’s called Edward on Edward.

It also has an alternate title, which is how I found it: Whatever Happened to the Windsors? You can watch it on Amazon Prime Video. Stream free on the Roku Channel
Well I am hooked. Yes, Capote is an ahole, but so are the swans. I didn’t watch season one, about Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, because they were nice people and the series gave me the feels. I watched it because it was juicy, and I was hooked. Ditto s2.
Dominic is a piece of shit.
and I’m watching it right now via the PBS app.
I’m pretty sure it was originally broadcast on A&E, not PBS.
I don’t think it was standard for men of Hope’s time to be sexual predators.
Okay.

The original Upstairs, Downstairs has relationships between James Bellamy and two different staff members.
No, that’s not why she said it. Immediately before Carson came in to tell Robert about Barrow’s suicide attempt, her parents and Rosamund were talking about what she did to Edith and Bertie. Mary says, “Do we have to do this now?” Rosamund says, “Yes, I really think…” and then Carson walks into the room so the topic is dropped. Then when Mary hears what Barrow did, she marches over to the tea service so she can symbolically hit her father below the belt.
