I might be wrong, but I think this is the same guy I asked about earlier this summer who was traveling the northeast in a camper and wanted to meet up at national parks. Remember him ? The ad text is similar.

OK, I'll keep window-shopping until I find the right 60th birthday gift this coming week...

Episode 5 is the best episode so far - the series could've ended with 5. I'm curious where they're going to go over the next three weeks. -

Something was said in episode 4 from 'Senator Smith' which gave Hawk's character to be born in 1922, which makes him 31 in the 'past scenes' (which take place in 1953). In the present, it is 1986 - so he's supposed to be 64, though he looks 20 years younger (as does his wife). I think the dialogue was when Smith said he hears questions all the time why 'this handsome young man in my office' is not married and 31 was given as his age. Every time I see Bowman on screen, I see a younger Gregory Harrison - he looks so much like Harrison did in the 80s and 90s. Too bad they didn't cast Harrison to be his father in the one scene they had together. -

I finished binging the first four episodes today, and must say this is one of the better streamers out there (and not for the gratuitous gay sex). The stories are intriguing, the acting is impeccable. I'd be shocked if the show - and especially Bailey and Bomer - aren't nominated for Emmys next year. The supporting cast is also outstanding. -
I tuned out after about twenty minutes. I couldn't stand the two 'TODAY' hosts - they were horrible. The MACY'S Parade is not what it once was (back in the 70s and 80s) - 'entertaining'.

I was able to read his reviews on Rentmen (via VPN) and all of them were great. I'm curious how much he charges for an hour. Anyone recall ? There weren't any mention of his rates in the reviews.
-
I agree. "Succession" had a satisfying final season.
-
He's going to be in my area this coming week. I'm thinking of hiring him on my birthday as a gift to me. Any new experiences to share ? Is he a great gift for myself ? 😀 There's something sexy about him.

Canadian actor David Tomlinson seems to have taken all the attention from the series. He's developed quite a following, but there are viewers who have some questions - why was an actor with a gym body and 'shaved pubes' cast as the character from the 1950s ? This is a period drama, and one would be hard pressed to find a guy like that in the 1950s. (Gym bodies and shaved pubes didn't really start until the 1980s). Of course, no complaints from me - Tomlinson is a beautiful ginger with a great penis... Read the comments at the end of this blog...

I'm curious about cousin Dasheill's daughter - is she one of those dwarf women from the Baltic state convincing everyone in the family she's a tween when she's really in her 30s ? Is Fellowes getting his ideas from the 'Natalia Grace' series ?

The first three episodes of Season 2 were released on Thursday, and the magic is still there. So far, it's even better than Season 1. Lancashire is wonderful as Child, and David Hyde Pierce never disappoints. Yet Bebe Neuwirth is really stealing the show as 'Avis'. Episode 2 has a guest appearance by Stockard Channing, who is beyond wonderful in her character (but you may have to look twice to recognize the 'new' look of Channing). 4 more episodes over the next 4 Thursdays on MAX.

I believe part of the problem - as pointed out already by many critics - is that Fellowes knew how to write for the place / period of 'Downton Abbey', but he doesn't know how to write for the place / period of 'Gilded Age'. It seems like he doesn't realize there's a world of difference between Manhattan and the English countryside.

Season 2 began on October 29. Last night's episode was episode 4, and we're at the halfway mark for this season. Anyone watching ? I find it a little better than S1, and I emphasize 'little'. With the exception of a few in the cast, one thing is certain - Broadway actors and actresses don't necessarily transfer well into television.
-
I certainly can't disagree with you. Which makes me think - the series should have gracefully bowed out at the conclusion of Season 4. Season 5 - and especially Season 6 - has Morgan just relying (a little too heavily) on the tabloid reports of what went on behind 'closed doors'. What started off as a compelling, high-brow drama has now become nothing more than one of the 'E! True Hollywood Stories' where there's just 'reenactments' of what 'possibly / maybe / could have went on'. We all know what went on with the Royals post-Diana's death. No one wants to see further reenactments (in the remaining episodes of the season) of Charles and Camilla marrying, the saga of Kate and William, and especially not Harry and Meghan. We have lived through all that.
-
I watched the first four episodes and wonder if I watched the same four episodes as everyone else ? I had a very different take from this... Dedicating all four episodes to the last few weeks of Diana's life being chased by paparazzi was excessive and unnecessary. The 'Ghost Diana' scenes were ghoulish - and if Morgan really felt he had to stoop to these hammy 'dead conversations' - Ghost Diana never mentions her two sons ? Worse than 'Ghost Diana' was 'Ghost Dodi' talking to his daddy (and the demonizing of 'daddy' was really a bit too much). More could have been said in two episodes, rather than stretch it over four. Of all four, Episode 3 was a snoozefest - completely dull and lifeless. Aside from the intro of 'The Royal Website', there is no indication of a rapidly changing world engulfing them: not a single mention of British politics, of crises, of Hong Kong soon being returned to China. Queen Elizabeth 2 is not portrayed as the head of state of (especially in the late 1990s) a world super-power, but sadly is reduced to ice-cold Granny. Not a mention of Princes Andrew and Edward ? Just a glimpse or two of Anne ? And when did the once-fascinating, opinionated Margaret become such a church-mouse ? This series used to be interesting. It used to be about QE2, politics, a country in turmoil, etc. Now it's become little more than a daytime drama. All the actors felt like 'extras' in the first four seasons (though Dominic West was the only strong character (kudos to the actor who was given so little to work with in these four episodes). Rufus Kampa - the 17 year old actor playing teen William - comes across more as a stone-cold serial killer. Let's hope Eddie McVey, who will be portraying him as a young adult, does a better job. McVey is quite the sexy guy. Start the 'eyeroll' emoticons, on 3, 2, 1...

"Hello, enormous!" - My Name Is Barbra is out now
Ali Gator replied to Ali Gator's topic in Literature
Streisand's book debuts on the current NYT BEST SELLER LIST, dated November 26, 2023. It's listed in "Non-Fiction Print and eBook" (combined sales) and debuts at #2, while Brittney Spears holds on to #1 for the third week in a row. Similarly, on the list of just "Non-fiction Hard Cover" it's the same - Brittney at #1, and Barbra at #2. Over at the USA TODAY Best Sellers - where they combine hardcover fiction and non-fiction, alone with eBook fiction and non-fiction - she debuts at #6 and Spears drops from #1 to #4. Still very possible Streisand might bounce up to #1 during the upcoming Christmas season. I think she will be a 'popular gift'. -
"The View" - Season 27 : Discuss...
Ali Gator replied to Ali Gator's topic in TV and Streaming services
The season is wrapping up for it's "mid-season" break in a few weeks, and so far this season has been rather dull and disorganized. It seemed better when they were ad-libbing and had no writers. The producers really need to reconsider having Sarah and Anna on the panel. Sarah is like a fish out of water on most serious topics (she's like the little kid sitting at the adult table wanting to participate, but saying a whole lot of nothing). Somehow, she believes she's the mental-health and gay issues expert on each topic. It's nice when the others correct her or worse - question what she's saying (and she gets lost in her answer). Anna is good for one thing - going head-to-head with Sunny. As another Latina legal-eagle on the panel, she steals the spotlight from Sunny (always a good thing). Unfortunately, she also thinks she's a comedienne - she's not. It seems all her conversations and answers in Hot Topics always revert to 'Drag Queens'. One thing which puzzles me is why Sunny has to read 'a legal note' every time there is a discussion about a politician or celebrity who has been alleged, charged or indicted with a crime. Other shows talk about the same topics on these notables, and none of them follow their commentary or discussion with 'legal notes'. Is this a gimmick for Sunny ? -
"Hello, enormous!" - My Name Is Barbra is out now

Except for Murdoch's 'Wall Street Journal', Streisand has gotten rave reviews for her memoir across the board. Just about every critic has commented on the size of the memoir, and the details she gives - but no one seems to mind. Except the WSJ, which headlined it's review: "My Name Is Barbra" Review : A Star is Boring". ‘My Name Is Barbra’ Review: A Star Is Boring WWW.WSJ.COM A capacious memoir from Barbra Streisand chronicles a career in which supporting roles were never an option. On the other side of the spectrum, fans are loving the book - especially the audiobook (which I haven't bought). They say listening to the audiobook is like sitting in your living room across from her, and she is having a personal conversation with you about her life.
