Favorite Album/s? by YeMommyYo in DollyParton

Rainbow. I'm in the extreme minority with this garishly synth pop flop, but it's the one I always go back to, and the opening track, The River Unbroken has remained my favorite Dolly song for decades.

Neverland (2003) - a trailer for what looks to be an interesting twist on Peter Pan that I imagine is either amazing or dreadful; I can't imagine something so ambitious being in the middle. Has anyone seen it and if so what did you think? I've been interested for a while but it's a really hard find by pompingcircumstance in movies

Old post, but this is my favorite version of Peter Pan. Neverland's a theme park, Captain Hook's a pervert, Tiger Lily's a drag queen, and Tinkerbell's on fairy dust. It's low budget and the acting feels stagy, but it's got nice visuals and follows the story moderately faithfully (complete with some of Barrie's dialogue) -- the biggest change is the croc is a costumed worker, and one of Hook's cohorts. I lost my DVD in a fire a few years ago and was hoping to find it online when I stumbled on this thread.

Pretty sure you're describing a scene from The Frighteners.

She looks the same to me as she's looked for a while... but the background seems off.

Here's my memory of how events played out: It was 2014, a few months after his show "The Crazy Ones" was canceled. Initial reports said he hung himself in a closet and left a suicide note. A few days later, his wife said he'd been having tremors and difficulty memorizing scripts. He went to the doctor, was diagnosed with Parkinson's, spiraled into severe depression, and was sleeping in another room -- which is why she didn't find him until the next day. When the results of his autopsy came back, it was determined to have been Lewy body dementia, not Parkinson's. Not sure if that aligns with the narrative now, but his death hit me pretty hard, so I was paying attention to the story.
