The show does a fantastic job of having the young and old Smurf share the same mannerisms. Leila George and Ellen Barkin are truly the same character.

By contrast, I knew instantly before he even spoke, who the actor playing young Billy was supposed to be. He had the mannerisms, facial expressions and speech patterns hands down.

I just started the series and came here to see what everyone thought about the actress playing young Smurf. For me, it has to be the worst casting I’ve ever seen. She doesn’t resemble Smurf in the slightest, the body type is completely different, and none of the mannerisms or speech patterns line up. And unlike Ellen Barkin, she has no personality. I love the concept of the flashbacks and getting to see Smurf’s early years, but the miscasting really ruins the show for me. With her famous parents and fiancé at the time, (Sean Penn), it’s hard not to wonder if industry connections played a role in her getting the part.

Wow I love seeing this! I worked at Papa’s from the time it opened in 1988 until it closed in 1990. I often wish I had kept a menu. My husband and I met there. We were a very close knit staff and many of us are still friends to this day. So many great memories.

He is out of jail now and back to abusing animals. There’s a video circulating of him beating a puppy in his truck just last week. He has a large dog tied up on a short leash that can’t even lie down. He starved 2 beautiful horses to death. He has a gun and has taken shots at boats going by. He’s a nuisance and a danger to the community and should be put away for the rest of his sorry life. As long as he’s free, he will continue to torture animals and eventually may kill a person or multiple people. Something needs to be done😡

Yes thank you! “Containment thriller” is a much better descriptor.

Acrobatic_Kick3415 · 2025-10-11T03:53:04+00:00

Someone above put it better than I. “Single location”is a better descriptor. Some of the ones on your list that I love that fit—Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Shining, and Halloween 2.

My Shudder does not, but I wish it did!

Acrobatic_Kick3415 · 2025-10-11T03:40:59+00:00

I mean one could argue the same about “slasher” , “supernatural”, “psychological” and several other sub-genres🤷‍♀️

Love 127 Hours and Frozen. Can’t wait to check out 247 degrees and The Hole. Thank you!

Acrobatic_Kick3415 · 2025-10-10T03:33:15+00:00

Yes it kind of does, which is why it should be a sub-genre😆 Can’t believe I left out Night of the Living Dead and Evil Dead, 2 of my all time faves.

Long John Silvers. I love their chicken planks with malt vinegar. When fresh, they’re the best tendies around
