What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Last night: The Thrill of It All with James Garner and Doris Day. This morning: Don't Eat the Daisies with David Niven and Doris Day. Right now: The Flying Leathernecks with John Wayne and Robert Ryan. I needed a good WW2 flick.- AmateisGal

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
DC can't hope to compete with Marvel. After Christian Bale's Batman, they just sort of fell apart. Batman vs. Superman was one of the worst movies I'd ever watched until I watched Aquaman and then that one took the cake. That they're making a SECOND Aquaman movie just makes me shake my head. Why...- AmateisGal

Actually, no. It is led by a lot of women of color: Asian, Black, and Latina. And they have a right to grouse. The romance genre stereotyped POC for decades.- AmateisGal

Actually, I don't think that's the case at all. Alicia Malone, one of the hosts of TCM, is a film historian in her own right, and she knows her stuff. I don't think the 'corporate overlords' are forcing them to do any of this. You can tell by the conversation (I watched the one they did for The...- AmateisGal

What was the last TV show you watched?
The second episode of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Starting to get really interesting! I dislike that they have a new Captain America, though, and so do Bucky and Sam!- AmateisGal

An incredible movie. Daniel Craig totally reinvigorated the Bond franchise. I'm looking forward to seeing his final Bond film, and I'm curious who they'll get to be Bond next!- AmateisGal

Larry McMurtry
Also, Beverly Clearly, the children's book author who wrote so many classics: the Ramona Quimby series, The Mouse and the Motorcycle, Ribsy, and so many more. She was 104.- AmateisGal

I definitely think "cancel culture" goes way too far. We have become a very black and white society, and there is no room for mistakes. Now granted, some of the mistakes people make should be judged, and judged harshly. But the social media mob can be absolutely vicious. People have lost their...- AmateisGal

This is a wonderful discussion, and I'm so glad we're having it. I, too, have noticed a trend in some novels where you have the feisty female heroine trying to rail against racism, sexism, homophobia, using a decidedly modern attitude. That's not great historical fiction as its, well, not...- AmateisGal

This is interesting because I see a ton of books written by male authors for mostly male audiences. I'm thinking Daniel Silva, Vince Flynn (RIP), Dean Koontz, David Baldacci, James Patterson, Greg Illes, etc. etc. Maybe I'm missing something? My ex-husband was a voracious reader (one of his few...- AmateisGal

Dentist Woes!
UPDATE! The surgery was a success. Took out four teeth, and put in two implants. The implant process takes a few months as you have to put in the screw thingy first, and then wait until the bone grafts to it, and then get the abutment, and then the crown. Quite the ordeal. ANYWAY. They put me...- AmateisGal

The Quiet Man with John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara because it's St. Patrick's Day and because I love this movie. Maureen's autobiography is also wonderful. I highly recommend it.- AmateisGal

The Man Who Knew Too Much with Doris Day and James Stewart. I've never seen this Hitchcock film before, but I quite enjoyed it. I love how Doris Day was so good at everything she did - arguably better at her comedic roles, but she gives an excellent performance in this suspenseful film.- AmateisGal

I've heard that he's not entirely reliable. However, I'm well-versed enough in the field to know that he's definitely cherry picking evidence to support his conclusions. What this book does, however, is give us a nice shot in the arm to counter all those gooey "the Greatest Generation is...- AmateisGal
