There’s been a massive explosion in the capital of Lebanon, Beirut. Many are feared to be injured and the hospitals there are in dire need of blood donations. Please help any way you can, even if you can only share this, please do that!
Haha, that must have been such a surprise! It was for me. She really is so bubbly and friendly and nice and then is SUCH a hardass as Maya, even when you say it’s acting, which, it is, of course, but for a lot of actors, when their characters are normal people there’s a lot of overlap. Not really here at all, heh. It will be interesting to see her (and Barrett) in other roles, after the amount of time they’ve put into growing these ones.
Sadly…no. I’m in the middle of reading several different books and I’m not really liking any of them but I’ve been marking a lot of my recent attempts as not my thing (my version of dnf) so I’m trying to finish some.
Outside of this set, there is a pile growing that I’m hearing good things about. I actually still have a bunch from just today’s releases to go through at some point:
Seee! I hope I didn’t spoil it for you with how reassuring I was. I wanted to like, let you know it was safe to watch but I imagine it really must have been quite a different experience truly not knowing how it’d end. Guess it’s one or the other for us… But at least it WAS safe to watch! 😀
I VERY vaguely remember seeing something about this before, but from what I recall one of them died? Oh, okay, looking into it, the person who died isn’t among those you mentioned (but was played by Emmanuelle Chriqui, so boo) but hmm, this looks kind of confusing…. But also interesting, I’ll put it on my list. Thanks for mentioning it!
Wasn’t it! They just piled on every happy emotional little thing they could. 🙂 I just–I know it’s not the best movie artistically but I so appreciate how it went out of its way to add all that in. It reminded me a lot of the kind of period movies you got in the ‘90s? Except with straight people then, obviously. But it was that kind of thing, and where it won’t really be particularly memorable for most people except for the fact that it’s f/f. But that’s enough for me!
That was it, you didn’t miss anything. Which I love, because they were just talking like normal people about a story they both already know, and more importantly, know they both already know, so they can reference it by shortcut instead of awkwardly telling the whole thing again just to clumsily convey exposition to the audience.
We can assume that at some point, most likely quite soon after their reunion, Alice would have wanted to know how Vera found her address to even send Frank. And Vera would have told her that she went to a bookshop, found one of Alice’s books, called up the publisher, and got her address. And that would have been that.
And then in this scene decades later, Vera tells her that she didn’t just go to a bookshop, she went to 23. 23! So of course Alice, the big softie, is moved by that.
