he describes Kevin’s parents’ house as a silver tuna. He says it several times.
Totally! One of my faves for this time of year. 🙂
I didn’t care for Junebug; I don’t plan to watch Hillbilly Elegy.
It’s adapted from a book.
Amy Adams was in Junebug too.
She wore a prosthetic nose and still didn’t look plain enough to be VW.
Renee Zellweger played Bridget Jones in three films.
Yes, I thought about that. But in 2006, I hadn’t had a landline in over 2 years and I lived in a rural state. My friends in the city hadn’t had one for longer than that.
It doesn’t seem unreasonable to me that someone in that class, and a widower, would provide his young daughters with their own phones so they could feel secure about being connected to their only living parent. The grandparents would supervise use of the phones to make calls at bedtime and when the girls got up in the mornings.
Nobody has land lines anymore, unless they live in the sticks with no cell service.
Marianne Dashwood.
An important point Austen makes in the novel is that Willoughby’s looks were what made women want to trust him.
Polka music is fun, in the right time and place: Oktoberfest, Polish Heritage Festival, weddings.
A small dose of Polka music, with plenty of beer and liquor in a festive, celebratory atmosphere is fun and uplifting. 🍺🍻🥨🌭
A douche with disgusting teeth

Actually, I don’t think that is a Brit characteristic. All kinds of programs, including comedies (The Vicar of Dibley), dramas (The House of Eliott), portray anticipated scenes on-stage/on-camera. I think Fellowes is an exception, and I don’t really feel like he does it to be different, or as an artistic choice. Imo he’s just lazy. 🙃
True. 🙂
He is sooooo bland. Maybe he is better in other roles (I hope!) but I am just not feeling anything from him in this one.
They have zero chemistry. Really. Zero. Chemistry.
In fact, I would say they have anti-chemistry.
She likes his kid, she loves his inn, she even likes his mom. But nothing in that movie made me think she liked him.
Maybe that is why JF doesn’t write those scenes, because he’s worried. What a copout. Have some courage. Plenty of other screenwriters write those scenes and viewers feel rewarded for sticking with the story, especially if the story is dragged out as long as JF did on Downton. Give the viewer their catharsis. Give the viewer a reward.
Heh, I don’t worry about believability Because there are so many other moments and circumstances that would also be problematic. e.g. Steve Martin’s fingertips actually penetrating the dashboard and getting stuck in it when he grabs on during the spinout scene when Candy’s driving with his sleeves caught on the seat hardware.
That’s because they have to leave out or show the alternate version of the car rental scene with Edie Mclurg as the rental agent. Martin subjects the agent to a tirade of f-bombs while complaining about there being no vehicles available. She responds with “You’re fugged.”
Lots of f-bombs = R rating. F-bombs are edited from broadcasts.
Because Execs at NBC (Universal) are still covering for Lauer. The turds who head up NBC news, who covered for Weinstein and Lauer and tried to submarine Ronan Farrow’s investigation, are still in their positions of power.
No he isn’t; he was her sister’s brother in law.
Good point. And NYC is only a six hour drive from Montreal.
Katie’s accents didn’t bug me, but her fugly ball gown did. Where in hell did they dig up that green monstrosity?
