    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I do not envy you, Lizzie. Working with the public on a daily basis would make me homicidal.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I actually liked Wonder Woman 84 - but it's definitely not as good as the first one.

    60 Years of Bond on Film

    I'm all for setting them during the '50s and '60s. In fact, I hope that's what they do.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    My boyfriend isn't a reader, either. But he likes to take me to old book stores.

    I looked at the reviews of this last week and I'm not sure I want to try it - apparently it is overloaded with details and it becomes almost too much. Sad considering it's written by a former book editor! But I might check it out from the library.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Really enjoying two British shows - the first is Slow Horses with Gary Oldman who plays a delightfully crass spy who is managing a bunch of reject spies from M15. Based on the books by Mick Herron. On Apple TV+. The second is Three Pines with Alfred Molina. It's set in Canada and deals heavily...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Just watched Christmas in Connecticut (probably my favorite Christmas movie) and now watching It Happened on Fifth Avenue. I don't know what I'd do without TCM (Turner Classic Movies).

    60 Years of Bond on Film

    Yep, I completely agree with you.

    60 Years of Bond on Film

    Well, I know Craig didn't want to do Bond anymore - and that's fine. Connery didn't want to do Bond anymore, and Brosnan didn't, either, and Dalton. But did they kill off Bond? NO THEY DID NOT. That's why I'm just baffled by the whole thing. Craig went from a relatively B-list actor to A list...

    60 Years of Bond on Film

    Yep. That's the one thing you can count on with Bond films - he will survive. It doesn't matter if it's a nuclear weapon about to go off or whatever, he will SURVIVE. But they killed him. They *&^*%I* killed James Bond! I don't think I've ever been so mad at a movie in all my life. I have no...

    Romance

    I met my boyfriend on Tinder. haha. Yes, I know. He has no interest in vintage stuff - though he does like history and museums and going antique shopping with me. I was married for 18 years to a real jerk (long, long, LONG story) and after we divorced and I started dating again, I met some...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Trivial? Maybe, maybe not, but it ticks me off. I was in line at Barnes and Noble the other night. There was one person at the register, and she was dealing with a customer who had a complicated transaction (I think the customer was buying books for her school, which meant she needed tax free...

    What are you Writing?

    Writing steadily on the novel. The huge paper for my grad school class this semester ended up being 12k words. But it got an A+ so there's that!

    What Are You Reading

    Stuart M. Kaminsky's mystery novel, Mildred Pierced, set in Hollywood in 1944. This is another in the Toby Peters detective series, where Toby helps Hollywood stars out of the jams they find themselves in. As you can probably guess, this one features Joan Crawford. I have abandoned the...

    60 Years of Bond on Film

    I am a huge, lifelong James Bond fan. I used to watch the Bond movies on TV with my Dad. So I was quite excited for No Time To Die. I left the movie theater in an absolute rage. You do not kill James Bond. You just don't. I do not know what the writers were thinking, what the producers were...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Bullet Train with Brad Pitt is actually quite good. I enjoyed it. And even though I'm not a big fan of musicals, I gave the new Will Ferrell and Ryan Reynolds Christmas movie, Spirited, a try and thought it was fun! A different take on the original Christmas carol story. I've been watching all...

    Chronic Illness

    I'm so glad you found some relief! I'm on a new forum now for those with ME/CFS, and last night I just read a new study put out by Mayo. Oddly enough, though I absolutely hate that long Covid exists, it has led to people developing ME/CFS and that might mean that more money is put into...

    What Are You Reading

    I Lost My Girlish Laughter by Joan Allen published in 1938. Allen, the pseudonym for Silvia Schulman, was David O. Selznick's secretary. This novel is about 1930s Hollywood, and it's a very thinly disguised view of many famous people in Hollywood during this time. It's great fun to read and...
