So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

I wish. They added a tragic backstory where her MARRIED lover was killed in WWI.

Miss Marple would NEVER.

See this is why I generally stick to the books. I have actually seen very few adaptations.

I may have to go, if only for my young crush on both Ed Harris and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio

I'll have to watch that again. I had watched The Abyss too soon after I read the book and was seriously aggravated over the missing parts. It has now been enough time that I can watch it for the beauty of the film without that factor to distract me.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I'm so tempted by The Abyss, but I'm not sure I can justify taking the kids out that late on a school night.

Miss Marple would NEVER.
No indeed, she would not.

I'm less attached to Poirot, as I read fewer of those. So I'm fine with Branagh's version. And I really liked A Haunting in Venice. I found it genuinely suspenseful.

We watched it last night. It was fun. (After I got over "WHO is playing Ariadne Oliver?")

Here to report that the theatrical showing of the Broadway musical *Waitress* was as charming and enjoyable as the movie originally was. I think there's another showing tonight if anyone is interested.

Agreed. Some of that music was so fabulous.
