I really did, because I like Ginnifer Goodwin and Maggie Q. But we watched two episodes and I realized I didn't like any of the characters. They're all irritating.

Another "Kathy the Brat" episode
14 May 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Maybe because I'm binge-watching, I'm aware of how annoying Kathy can be. Jim and Margaret let her get away with defying them, talking back, and taking things that don't belong to her.
She's decided her "boyfriend" is a young man Betty's age, and Jim and Margaret seem to encourage her, and they make Betty feel bad for not giving in to her.
I don't really believe in spanking, but if my own son had ever told me "No," when I told him not to do something....well, he wouldn't have dared.
It ended well when Kathy decided it wasn't all that much fun, trying to entertain the young man, but somebody should have removed her to her room and explained that a 6-8-year old doesn't get the same privileges as a teenager.

It Happened One Weekend
(1974)
So bad that it's almost good---almost
26 May 2018
I happened to know one of the stars in this movie, but I know she'd like to forget it exists. It first came out in 1974, and then Palmer Rockey rented the North Park theater for two weeks to show it again in 1979 or 80. I'd missed the opening weekend in '74, but some friends told me about it. They said Rockey actually rented a limo to make a grand entrance. Before it was over, people were throwing stuff at the screen. Keep in mind that he had declared he was going to win an Oscar for "Best Song." (He sang it himself.)
After it got awful reviews in '80, when I saw it, he started telling people that it was all a big joke. He played multiple characters, but it was obvious that it was him because he didn't change his shoes, just his clothes. He also shot it like a high school play, from start to finish. If a scene changed, everything was moved to that scene, and then back to a previous scene. He didn't seem to know how to edit a film together. There's one scene where a coffin on a rolling cart gets away from him and rolls down a sidewalk. He has to chase it to catch it, and he leaves that in the film. I found myself getting embarrassed for him, and I've never had the heart to tell my friend that I saw it.
As far as spoilers, the movie didn't make any sense, so I don't think anyone could spoil it.

The Wrong Roommate
(2016 TV Movie)
Not logical
20 October 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Spoiler ahead: How is that Mark got Alan established in the house as a renter BEFORE he knew that Laurie had gone there? It looks like she's only been there a day, and he's already set up in the attic apartment.
And how did he know that her sister would even let him move in? It doesn't look like she needs the money a renter would bring in.
Oh well--it's a Lifetime movie. (I must admit--I was sort of glad when Mark "got his.")
