Even though everyone is going with TV or movies, the question says entertainment, so I’m going with books. My comfort/feel good reading has always been The Betsy-Tacy Books by Maud Hart Lovelace. A series about a trio of best friends and their town of Deep Valley, Minnesota at the turn of the 20th Century.

It’s pretty cool, I guess. they take a thick slice of onion, take the layers apart and stack them into a cone shape. Then they fill the hole with oil and set it on fire.

I would throw my money at that if you included Jiang Wen, and let him direct. Yes, I know that would never happen, but a girl can dream.

Man, I don’t know why, but for a second I read “Suicide Squid” and I really want to see that movie, as long as it’s not a rip-off of Red Dwarf’s Despair Squid.

I think those Reasons are that with Jedi powers he would be flinging people about by the power of CGI rather than physically kicking butt which is what we all want to see Donnie Yen do. You don’t hire Donnie Yen to wave his arms or force choke people with his fingers. That would be pointless.

I hated the CGI Cushing as much or more than the next person. But let’s not pretend that being ghoulishly resurrected doesn’t fit his career much more than Fisher’s. From what I’ve read about him, I think he would have been amused by the idea.

There is a local cider here, J. K.’s Farmhouse Ciders, that makes a cider with Saskatoon berries that I really love. It’s called Northern Neighbors. I like a sweet cider, but their signature can be too sweet even for me. The Saskatoon berries add just the right tartness to it. Hmmm, I may have to ignore my stomach and

Find Me Guilty is an underrated gem. It’s one of the reasons I still maintain respect for Diesel, despite the schlock he makes most of the time. 

There doing it in Titans this season, so I’m guessing not. At least, they must be referring to it in Titans, because Barbara is in a wheelchair in the trailer, not sure how much they will go into it.

Beckett’s a bit of an outlier in there. I love the film, but a costume drama from the Sixties starring Richard Burton and Peter O’Toole doesn’t really go with any of the other films on that list. I must remember to watch it again. 

I definitely did not see that scene. I guess it was online only.

Seconded on the strongly on the baffling stupidity of Jordan and Sarah’s arrest. Even if it’s truancy, since when do you drag kids off to jail for that?

My memory may be fuzzy, but I think the big difference is that this Nora didn’t lose her father at a young age and have a power inhibitor implanted by Iris.

I didn’t know about Lenny Henry’s involvement aside from the audiobook. That makes me slightly more charitably inclined toward it. I still found it quite derivative and reminiscent of a little known Lenny Henry vehicle Bernard and the Genie, crossed with Nalo Hopkinson’s Midnight Robber. But since both Henry and

Flash used my favorite trope, Villain Saves the Day, and Thawne did not disappoint. Cavanagh is absolutely captivating as Reverse Flash. I can forgive pretty much anything for a scene like that. I know what I like, and that’s getting to root for a villain without looking too much like a psycho myself.

Exposing young children to Brian Blessed’s voice can only be a good thing, as far as I’m concerned. 

Is - is that a wicker Godzilla? Because that sounds AMAZING and I want to be there when it burns.

Butter and ribs seems an odd meal.

Do they still get to warn parents that if they leave their kids behind they will be taken to “It’s a Small World” and have their feet nailed to the floor? I suspect that was never Disney approved verbiage, but it’s pretty much my only memory of taking the Jungle Cruise.

I thought it was great, especially after Mick’s threat.
