Compassionately intolerant

I've been very of two minds when it comes to Terry's works.

Please, more to see! Please, don't mess it up!!

I'm hoping Rhianna is keeping a sharp eye on everything and pitching for quality over quantity. The world is perfect. Let it stay that way.

Brought to you by, Going Postal is gold...the other movies/shows...not so much.

I'm watching the Japanese drama Million Yen Women on Netflix, and it is SO GOOD.

I, uhm, can't actually recommend you watch it, because it is so unrelentingly DARK and CYNICAL (also WEIRD, but that's only because it's Japanese), but it is SO GOOD.

So, uh, maybe check it out, if you're in the mood for that sort of thing?

I have Netflix so I"ll give it a peruse.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

HEY SO WHO WANTS TO TALK ABOUT BOJACK?????

I have emotions.

Sorry, I can't binge-watch BoJack; I can only watch it in small doses. I'm only on episode 5 right now.

(I think I've already figured out who the mother of his child is; man, that's going to be a gut-punch when I get to the reveal)

That is me with Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Tom. I understand these feelings.

Well, my theory of who the mother is was completely wrong, I thought it would be a sixteen-year-old Sarah-Lynne. I haven't been so happy to be wrong in a long time.

That was a surprisingly upbeat ending; especially since I never really liked Dianne and Mr. Peanutbutter together anyway.

Amazon Prime is teaming up with BBC to produce King Lear, with Anthony Hopkins as Lear and Emma Thompson as Goneril: [link]

Talk about an interesting reunion, given that they played a couple (and an almost couple) in Howards End and Remains of the Day. Emily Watson will play Regan and Cordelia will be played by Florence Hugh. I am v. excited about Pugh - I recently saw her in Lady MacBeth, which is an amazing period film set in Yorkshire in mid 19th C, in which she plays a protagonist that turns from sympathetic to monstrous at a blink of an eye. It's formally austere and emotionally devastating. Not sure if the movie is streaming anywhere yet but I can't recommend it highly enough.
