New Netflix show. I'm on episode 5 and it's intriguing - like Lost meets Event Horizon, but on a ship and set in the 1800s, if you couldn't tell from the name.
I took Italian for my language credit in college, and one semester these two Mexican exchange students took the class. It took them no time at all to become fluent. All the interrogatives, for example, sound the same in Spanish and Italian; they're just spelled differently. Italian does plurals differently, too, but if you're fluent in one you can pick up the other really easily.
Cam would fuck Harper in a heartbeat if she was up for it, but I don't think she would actually do that. I think she's just trying to make Ethan see that other people want her even if he doesn't.
That was Uncle Rico with Quentin in the picture Tanya picked up, right? Could there be an infidelity clause in the prenup that they're trying to get her to violate? I also assume that Jack taking Portia away for the day and then getting too drunk to drive home was part of Quentin's plan.
The minute the English gay guy started talking about how his weakness was beauty, I realized he was fucking his "nephew". At least I hope it's his "nephew" and not his actual nephew.
I heard this on another TV show a while back, and the tune sounded incredibly familiar but I couldn't place it to save my life. Then I realized that it's a cover of a Gene McDaniels song I first heard while listening to oldies with my dad as a kid. I do think the Mina version is better, though.
It's been a while since I watched season 1, but I remember thinking Tanya was a typical Jennifer Coolidge character - quirky in a funny way. This season though, Tanya seems way more crazy, like actually crazy in a psycho way. I don't find anything redeeming about her at all, and even with Greg probably cheating and generally acting like an asshole to her, it's hard to feel sorry for her. She's narcissistic and cruel, especially when she's interacting with Portia. I find her totally disgusting this season.
I really liked The Devil's Hour. It's only 6 episodes so it makes a great binge. Also, it may have the creepiest child character I've ever seen, and I've seen a LOT of shows with creepy children.
In the latest episode of Giant Dog in a Cone, Rocket tried to lay down but the cone got stopped by the coffee table so he just stayed there. Eventually closed his eyes and actually fell asleep.

When we went to see Smile a few weeks ago, at the Lakeline Alamo, there was a family in front of us with a kid that had to be maybe 6-7 years old. We were hoping they were in the wrong movie, but no. After the first scary scene, maybe 20 minutes into the movie, he was sitting in one of his parents' laps. They stayed the whole time. I mean, WTF? There is some disturbing shit in that movie that was making grown-ass adults jump. That poor kid is probably still having nightmares.
My son and I watch horror movies together. Recently, we really liked Barbarian and Smile. The original Goodnight Mommy (the 2014 Austrian version) was great. The Naomi Watts remake was fine and I think I'd have liked it better had I not seen the original, but it's worth a watch on Prime.
That was a while back; he's dating Kaia Gerber now - Cindy Crawford's daughter. She's a dead ringer for her mom.
I thought Austin Butler was fantastic, and I hated Tom Hanks as much as I loved AB. Probably because his character was horrible, and whether or not Hanks' accent was actually what Parker sounded like is moo because either way it was terribly grating.
