Well, crap.
Foiled again.

I'm glad my comment brought back nice memories. Your comment reinforced my wish to one day re-visit New York (would love to go to the Tribeca Film Festival!).
My visit was a long time ago, and I keep thinking I'll go again, but usually when I get the chance to go on vacation I head for the turquoise waters and…

I cannot do that, friend.
*** deep shuddering breath***
It would be a lie.

Nope, she sure wouldn't.
But at least poor Abner would've finally gotten some peace and quiet…and sleep.

He is. I think I first noticed him as "the heavy" in something (don't remember what). It was a small part, but I remember thinking he had not only a very distinctive look but real potential as an actor. The only problem with how charming he is as Monroe is that it will be difficult to see him again as a villain if he…

That makes two of us. But I really think it means we've both got great taste. The man is a delight for the eyes and ears.
And you described his charms perfectly! Makes me want to go watch YouTube clips of him…right now.

It really was special, wasn't it?
I'm from western Kentucky, which is in some ways very different from the eastern Kentucky setting depicted in Justified, but I always felt a kinship with the show, it's Southern feel, and "down-home" but eloquent use of language that I've often heard and love. Also, loved the way…

It's not every day we find the likes of Raylan and Boyd…or Ava…or Tim…or even Dewey. Or hear such delicious dialogue. It really does give me a kind of hollow ache when I think about it.
I think a rewatch is in my future.

Doesn't matter. I caught my toaster giving me the side-eye this morning.
Just stay out of the kitchen, man. We're not safe even in our under-wear preparing AM coffee and toast.
Uh-oh…I think I should go unplug my Keurig.

You're obviously better prepared for it than I am. I don't even remember those techniques, and I thought I've watched every moment of this show closely!

Thanks for that info!
I've only been to NYC once, but packed in a lot for one visit…a couple of plays, the ballet (ABT four times), every major museum. Broadway was a wonderful experience, even though as I exited the Shubert Theatre on a busy Saturday night, clutching my son's hand so as not to lose him in the crowd,…

I think you'll love "Feud." I think it's terrific and we seem to like the same shows.
It has a great sense of time and place, some sharp humor with some pathos thrown in. And Susan Sarandon just nails it as Bette Davis. You should check out the reviews, too, after you watch. The post-episode discussions have been a lot…

Martha may be cooling her heels somewhere in Russia (I miss her, too), but Alison Wright has a nifty little role over on "Feud." Not a big enough role, but still nifty.
You probably already know that, but I wanted to make sure.

I thought it was perfect, too.
And layered, unexpected, poignant….but damn it I still wanted more.

Pssst…don't ask it, don't even look at it. It'll just sit there on the counter and play dumb. You're not supposed to know it's watching. Just act nonchalant.

I noticed two little interesting (to me) background details.
Younger Rebecca, getting ready for her blind date, had a Janis Joplin concert promo poster on the wall.
Morning-after-the-fight Rebecca walked past a "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" framed poster on her way downstairs.
Nothing of great importance, just two things I…

Okay, so did anyone else find themselves rubbing their thumb and forefinger together? Y'know, in solidarity?

You're ahead of me, Bob.
I'm ashamed to say I didn't even think of that, and I should've because I love The Birds. And now I remember Tippi buying the love-birds for Robert Taylor's sister, and the small cage. How did I not think of that while fussing about Chick's bird? I blame insomnia.

Maybe it's partly what's traditional in your family, too. My great great aunt was a chief cook on the great old riverboats going up and down the Mississippi. The ladies on the other side of the family also passed down their own touches. And I'm talking about made-from-scratch, fresh peaches when available, quality…

Indeed she is. She's always impressive.
Every time I see her I remember how she absolutely channeled Judy Garland, and deservedly won a boatload of awards.
You're so right about her gestures and body language. And it doesn't matter if she goes big or goes small with them, she's always eminently watchable.
